Hi all,

I am in phase of my life where things need to happen during the following ten years. Recently I happened to look back in my past and the opportunities I skipped or passed on to a friend. I have never had trouble developing new ideas, looking back I now see 3 of theese opprtunities where I decided not to go for a ride to be atleast seemingly successfull.

So I started thinking, maybe my place would be to come up with ideas, start them, develop the very first phase and then leave the active entreprenuership to someonelse (who is better suited for it), so that I can move on. Say I would stick with 25% and sell or give the remaining to a person who would further develop the company.

So instead of having 100% of one company and making the most of it, I would have for example 25% of 4 companies and stay on the background. Ofcourse this makes me a minor partner and I would be a passanger, but on the other hand I would diversife the risk.

So I guess the question is, do you guys think that 4*25% is less, equals or is more than 1*100% ? Other thoughts ?
