QUESTION The Escape Number Problem

[pdrake]

Recently I calculated my escape number at $17,199,840 and my business system target at $215,000 / month.

Now, 40% of my business system target contributes to my money system which is around $84,000 / month.

The problem is that it would take me 11.5 years (including 5% yearly interest) to reach my escape number ($17.2M), this means my business would have to bring in $215,000 per month for 137 months. Businesses don't last forever, so how can I expect my business to consecutively bring me $215k per month for 11.5 years?

Are you still working on growing your business?

Every year you grow the bottom line, shortens the timeline.

I think it's hard to have a business that's flat for a decade (as you said). It's either growing or it's slowly dying.



Also don't forget about equity value. If the numbers you are talking about above are net income, then you could sell your business now for between 2 and 5 million (depending on type of business and many other factors).

If those are revenue numbers though, then it would sell for a lot less, and it's going to take a lot longer than 11 years at current rate...


In any case, the tradeoff for siphoning off profits now, is that it limits your ability to grow, and consequently, equity value. Might be faster to keep all profits in business, grow grow grow, and then sell the business for 17M in a few years. But that comes with increased personal risk.
