Sell early. Real money rarely comes from horsing around running an asset-laden business if you are an entrepreneur . You are not a manager, remember? You are trying to get rich. Whenever the chance comes to sell an asset at the top of its value, do so. Things do not keep increasing in value for ever. Get out while the going is good and move on to the next venture. More money is usually lost holding on to an asset than is made waiting for the zenith of its value. I should know—it’s my own biggest defect.
