Next week, we begin again with new insights from startup through liquidity event, including guest postings by some of the nation’s best known angel investors and entrepreneurs.\u00a0 Stay tuned!\u00a0\u00a0 – Dave<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So you\u2019ve successfully sold your business and have received enough money from the sale to become financially independent, no longer having to work for a living.\u00a0\u00a0 That is a comfortable place to be, and it is one experienced by more and more people, especially in technology-based businesses.<\/p>\n

Most successful sales of businesses, again especially in the technology arena, enrich younger entrepreneurs and stock-option holders who are under fifty years of age.\u00a0 Having interviewed many of these newly-rich alumni, I have found that most want to take time off for an indefinite time to think out their next move, which is not a bad idea.\u00a0 Some immediately start to plan their next venture.\u00a0 And some tell me that they will just retire, finding travel, coaching, teaching and a life of leisure their most attractive alternative.<\/p>\n

I followed many of these stated retirees, and very few if any retiring entrepreneurs stay that way for long.\u00a0 Their lifestyles may change, sometimes dramatically, but for a driven entrepreneur, a full stop is difficult over time.<\/p>\n
