Quote by Harold S. Geneen

It's better to take over and build upon an existing business than to start a new one.

It's better to take over and build upon an existing business

Summary

This quote suggests that it is more advantageous to acquire an established business and improve upon it, rather than starting a new venture from scratch. By taking over an existing business, one can benefit from its existing customer base, reputation, infrastructure, and operational systems. This approach can save time, effort, and resources compared to the challenges and uncertainties associated with launching a new business. Furthermore, building upon an established business may offer greater potential for success and growth, as the groundwork has already been laid.
