An exit is not universally defined as success. Success is defined by the person who builds the company.

>Success should be building and maintaining a business that can annually bring you in a ton of cash, keep you relatively sane, keep loads of people from your country's economy in employment and above all provide goods or services that will make someone else's life/work a little easier.

Selling my company allows me to do all those things (although my cash is coming in up-front, for the most part, which means I can likely grow that money a lot faster than I could have if I got it over many years).

To each his own...

Should be there in Jan/Feb. Tweet me @tallross with your info and we'll connect. Thanks!

If you just want to sell leads there are some basic lead distribution platforms out there like boberdoo.com. We built our own in-house. If you have a lot of custom stuff you want to do, find a CTO.

It doesn't say that at all. I said nothing about easy. I'm saying that as an entrepreneur you have to maintain the delusion that your company is likely to be worth a shit-ton of money. After all, if you don't believe that, what's the point of building it? (Assuming you don't want a small lifestyle business)

I disagree. Once you have already done it your likelihood increases that you will do it the second time around. You have more capital, experience, and connections.

You are right in the sense that before you start a business you are less likely to have multiple successes than you are to have one success.
