I’m not sure I agree with your first paragraph, but the second…. That’s pretty good. If you’ve already extracted (milked) a billion dollars or more from the business, why do you care if you wake up one morning and your business is the next MySpace? That’s the employee’s problem, not yours. Sell the business to someone who hasn’t yet realized it has turned into MySpace, and move on to the next idea you’ve got. Or retire. Whatever you want.
