CHAPTER 9 GROWING YOUR BUSINESS EMPIRE

your company by selling its shares and causing the share
price to fall. When this happens too often, you can bet that
there will be many angry shareholders banging down your
door, demanding better results. Well, that is the price you
have to pay for getting a few hundred million more!

Staying Focused on Your Primary Aim

So, should you make listing your company on the stock
exchange your ultimate goal and in so doing multiply your
net worth very fast or to keep it private and slowly collect
$1m-$5m in profits every year? It all depends on what your
values and personal goals are. Do you value recognition,
power, security or freedom more? Would the couple of extra
million be worth the freedom that you would have to sacrifice?
What would make you happy? These are questions that only
you can answer!

Ultimately, you have to go back to the primary aim of why
you started your business in the first place. As for me, I started
my business for the sole purpose of giving me more life
and more freedom. I am living an extremely happy lifestyle
with the wealth that I have built so far and find that a
couple of extra millions won’t make much of a difference to
me right now.

I must say that it has been an amazing journey for me and
it has been a great pleasure to share a part of it with you. I
hope that my words have inspired you and given you the
start-up knowledge to make your own entrepreneurial dreams
a reality. I wish you the very best and hope to meet you one
day in one of my seminars.
