- chandrab 19y agoFind a new idea..and then build a bigger and better company! The journey is the reward.
- irakundji 19y agoI absolutely agree. I would start another one. Not so much because I want to sell it. I have all these ideas that I have written down and I want to have an opportunity to do them. Because they're your babies and you want to give them ALL life. It's always hardest to decide which one to do now and which ones to pursue later...
- kul 19y agoGo to India
- dawie 19y agoDrink, Party and start a new Company. Maybe move to a cheap warm country
- yaacovtp 19y agoBest advice I've heard about what to do after selling your company is to first get your first one off the ground. If you want to go to Disneyland copy the http://www.twiddla.com/ http://www.twiddla.com/ guys and sell it a week later on sitepoint. That ought to get you enough for a week in LA.
- nostrademons 19y agoIsn't this a little premature? I mean, except for PG, dshah, and perhaps a few other lurkers, very few of us have sold (or statistically, are likely to sell) a company. That said, I'd probably work on some of the other ideas I've had. Ones that are arguably more useful and more world-changing, but have little or no revenue potential.
- irakundji 19y agoVery true about the first statement. But I asked to see what people's aspirations in life are. If money wasn't an issue and you could have everything you want, what would you do with your time? I often ask myself this so as to know that I am always following my hopes and dreams rather than following money.
- ivan 19y agoSome people are lazy, exploit others good will and have luck, they sold their company and other people are agile and doesn't have luck. If you was lazy before, you stay lazy, and buy dream house, car or whatever ... if you are agile, you start a new company.
