Hi everyone.
Grateful for this community here. I first created an account here almost 6 years here with the dreams of becoming a millionaire. That dream is now achieved but I am thinking of what to do next.
Context:
-I am 29. I founded a business 4.5 years ago in the online education space.
-Got lucky and made a killing during COVID, made around $10m in profit a year.
-Profit is now reduced to around to $2m a year, but business is very stable.
-I own 100% of the company so all profit essentially goes to me.
-I am the CEO and run a team of around 30 people.
Fast-forward to today, I want to take myself out of this business and start other ventures. Although the business is still profitable and makes me $2m a year in income, I am getting rather tired of doing the same thing day in day out. I have the entrepreneurial itch and crave the thrill of doing other ventures.
I operate in an extremely niche space, so it is impossible to sell the business.
Hence, I am thinking of hiring a CEO, giving him equity, then myself taking a step back to become Chairman instead. But it is extremely difficult to find a CEO. Even if I do manage to find one, how do I structure his remuneration in terms of equity + salary?
My question is: what do I do next?
