First picked that up from Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Outsourcing can really cut down on a lot of the work though. I like the idea of the exit. First picked that up from Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

And even with small businesses, people so rarely think of an "exit strategy". As successful as your blog may well be, you may decide to do something else at some point... and then what? How do you hang on to the value of all your hard work? Can you sell it? Can you outsource it all? What do you do? Think about it...

Potts - Today is that Day Fri, 12 Oct 2007 13:10:40 +0000 http://freelancefolder.com/do-you-have-an-exit-strategy/#comment-1001 I'm a big believer in exit strategies. I plan to retire when I am still young enough to enjoy it, and that means handing over the reigns to other people later on down the road. My exit strategy details vary depending on which of my website is in question, but the basic idea is to crank them all up to full-steam success, then sell them to someone else, but with the caveat that the sites cannot be significantly changed from their original content/format/intent, and that I get a certain percentage of the revenue for life. I plan to retire with a lot of money from the Internet, but without actually having to spend very much time online! :) I’m a big believer in exit strategies.
