I run a lifestyle business and I don't think anyone would say anything bad about it including VCs. I just think they probably wouldn't want to invest in it. That's cool with me because I'm not sure I would want investment in this particular business. I escalate my goals with it after meeting each new goal but I don't think I want to sell it or go public ever. I just want to run a profitable business that makes my customers happy. I end up reading a lot of VC news and blogs and I never feel like anyone is putting me down or discouraging me from doing what I'm doing.
I do my thing and they do their thing. That's the end of it.
- Sukotto 16y agoI'd like to read about your experiences. Do you have a blog? I'd like to see more posts on HN about small lifestyle businesses (which I define as "generates enough money to comfortably support the owner's desired lifestyle") since it's the path I'm aiming for myself.
- jswinghammer 16y agoNah. If I spent any time on a blog I wouldn't have time for my family or any of the other things I have going on. Maybe in a few years :)
- bauderjoshua 16y agoI agree I would love to hear more about lifestyle business as mine is a lifestyle business at the moment.
- TimJYoung 16y agoI'm in the same boat, and I think you nailed it. If anything, HN provides some valuable insight that is transferrable to any type of business. Plus, the tech talk is very good.
