Tomorrow I’ll be signing away my company as it is the final day of the acquisition process.
The sale is not life changing, but it makes it so I don’t “have” to work again and can live comfortably off interest.
This is not my first acquisition but it’s the largest.
I have an earn out period. But ultimately I’m expected to hand my roles over to the very capable people at the new company. I will have nothing to do very soon.
This sale was a unique one. The company was only 3 years old and due diligence on the sale took six months (1/6th of the company’s life was just the process of selling it).
Yet still, I am feeling a bit emotional about it. The butterflies of not knowing what’s next, the doubts that I may not be able to top this performance.
My exit amount is a drop in the bucket compared to the fine folks here. What is your secret about handling post exit blues?
