Still think its hard to do and one thing is to wish for things, other is reality. I still will grow the company, take the long harder road, if I die tomorrow, well it has been a great ride, if not .. I will continue with thrills and joys of life At the end one should choose not let others choose so if you want to do it .. go ahead [just] do it.. But your philosophy sounds more like a VC type of thing, so maybe that is your thing.

so…either i would sell it or…i would find partners and employees who can just guarantee specific cash flow to cover mine and the company’s needs…

in other words? i wouldn’t bother to grow the company…was it my baby or not, some times, the role of parents stops…

and…life is short….don’t forget that…i would never spend my whole life in smthing like that…

seems greedy? unambitious? i don’t know..but time is for me, the most valuable resource, since i don’t know how much is left…

so…did i make you reconsider..?

Its like conquerors or empires that just take it (wonder if a country is doing that) But let say its good idea to have a lifestyle company, do you think people will invest in you if you do that or your partners will let you, [just] do it? Stavros,

Some fo this problem solvers (Here is a list )http://event.stockholmchallenge.se/category are not millionaires. At the end of the day millionaire is overrated and a tag to people having money (which is not so special) but I agree problem solvers that "create and provide value" are great and unique people. Can a one be a millionaires by chasing its dream ?

The Modified Nike Maneuver: Just Take It. One favorite exit strategy of some forward-thinking business owners is simply to bleed the company dry on a daily basis: Pay yourself a huge salary, reward yourself with a gigantic bonus regardless of actual company performance, and issue a special class of shares that only you own that gives you ten times the dividends the other shareholders receive. Although we frown upon these practices in public companies, in private companies, this actually isn't such a bad idea. "lifestyle company." my dream :-) you become a millionaire…so what?

you have a better life? make meaning for the society and charities?

be greedy and then die alone and miserable?

the best thing is “lifestyle” companies…

By solving problems, self-made millionaires have the uncanny ability to create and provide value. When you can do that people are willing to pay top dollar for your service, experience and work.
