From my perspective at 71 years old, one thing that you can count on is change. Just when you think that you have things figured out and you can see it going the same way for another 20 years, bam, some major change comes along and there goes your long term plan. A friend had a good small excavation business going that he thought would keep him going for as long as he needed income. He had nephews who worked for him part time. He made adequate income. Then insurance of pretty much every kind went through the roof, His nephews were doing other things and three young guys started businesses in the town.

I had three employees which made it tough many times, but I continued to gradually grow it to where I was able to get good money for it when I made the decision to sell out when I was 55.
