@SteveWiesnerSMB Having not put the introspective work into exploring who I am apart from my business, I suffered during the transition phase post-exit. Not wanting to see others repeat my mistake, I tell founders to go and read Burlingham's Finish Big.

If you're thinking about buying an SMB, look in the mirror and ask: "Why the f*ck do I think I can do a better job than the guy / gal who took the biz from 0 to $5mm?" You probably can't, and there's a good chance you'll do worse. If you don't have a good answer, move on.
Same.
