 Just make sure you aren't too attached to what you've built. My employer
was acquired by one of those "97 MBAs and a dozen vulture capitalists"
outfits when the founder wanted to retire, and ever since it's been a
constant struggle for management on our end to stave off the attempts
of a bunch of know-nothing suits to run us into the ground with full-on
FYPM policies towards pricing, licensing, and customer service...
 

As my business partner's wife seemed determined to wreck the company,
we decided a sale would be the optimal strategy.

I spent 9 years in two companies tripling turnover every yearand I was utterly exhausted.
I built a house, instead. Much more fun
