I just thought everyone should realize the reality of the "easy" situation. Without funding even a lifestyle business (makes less than 10 mill a year) could easily give you the fastlane lifestyle so many here desire. Yet, with funding even a 48 million dollar buy out only nets 1.5 million net after all of the dilution and if you don't knock it out of the park you will barely make anything.

Its all about control. Keep control, and keep your business.
