SELLING YOUR BUSINESS REALLY PAYS The world of entrepreneurship is full of financial axioms that can lend to some very bad advice, especially when viewed from today's economic window. For example, one of the biggest myths in business is that "It takes time and patience before a business can be profitable. People build businesses to own it for life." This myth can cost you a lot of disappointment. Imagine knowing someone who is planning to start a Typewritter Repair Shop in today's market? I wonder how many people will encourage him to continue. At today's "entrepreneurial speed" you have to look for business gems, a business that will enable you to generate a quick return on your investment, and a potential for resale at its point of maturity. A business that you can build now, make a profit is 90 days, and then sell after 3 years, and then continue collecting royalties after you've sold the business.
