Steve trying to equate a company being bought to
their pay cycle is like trying to compare a walmart
be built to a pizza parlor opening in another state.
There is no correlation. I know you are smarter than that.
People sell their businesses for dozens of reasons.
In fact, the smartest business owners sell their business
when its on the upswing at it's peak to maximize total return.
Then they go into something else. Starting a business and then
having it acquired by someone larger then you is
the exit strategy most entrepreneurs have.
= + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = + = +
There are no stupid questions, but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots
