But those that would be worth the most are the ones we'd be least likely to sell based on personal attachment. You can always rebuild a revenue stream. I think building the right work environment / culture is a lot more difficult. I won't be ready to retire for a long time, and I can't imagine not enjoying what I do - I bore too easily. Knowing the small bit I do about your gig, I think you could get back in quicker than I could.

There are so many things I love to do, that if I sold for enough value to sustain a great transition, I would jump. I think it is the person though. Interesting enough, the SEO, SEM, affiliate space is seeing its first few consolidations happening on a micro ($1 million) range. I would not sell for that, but I do know some bigger companies are acquiring companies with solid clients, ad campaigns and sites with decent traffic sources. With other digits, I am out. Oh yeah, and Google, if you want to click, click over here...your cash is good. For myself, I am always open to selling for the right price…and I would even make it a reasonable metric.
