“Thinking creatively about where to put your money and generate the best returns, that is the real goal.”
Ace Chapman
Ace Chapman is an Investor Strategist who has bought and sold over thirty businesses and has helped his clients buy over one hundred businesses all over the world. He bought his first business when he was nineteen. It was an online stock market simulator called CoolWallStreet. After selling it, he then realized that there are more benefits in buying a business over starting one, which paved the way for his investment career.
On this episode, Ace weighs the difference between buying a business and building a business. As an investor himself, he explains his approach to business that may help other investors generate the best returns. This is also an inspiring episode where he shares his amazing journey from being a college drop out to becoming a successful businessman.
