HAPPINESS AND STRESS POST-ACQUISITION?
Can anyone speak to the happiness and stress levels of searchers post-acquisition?
Most people go into entrepreneurship/search, because they think it will lead to a better life. Certainly, some acquisitions will lead to default., while others will be an outlandish success. What % are having fun? What % are constantly stressed? How long does it take searchers to feel comfortable that they know how to run the business?
'It's also important to recognize that this forum is a self-selecting group that will surely err on the side of pro entrepreneurship...you either directly benefit from more search activity (investors, bankers, lawyers, lenders, etc) or you are a current or soon-to-be entrepreneur. You won't find a ton of failed searchers hanging out here.
