In this case, I think we’d rather just kill it. We’ve got some really good stuff in the pipeline, both for DI and for new projects, so it’s probably not worth the effort for the few grand we’d fetch for it. Plus the back end is rather rough around the edges so I wouldn’t want to try to teach that to someone else…and it would probably be a pain to ship our remaining inventory to the buyer.

In a way, we’re “selling it” by just blowing out the inventory. Since we’re not re-ordering those products that money is all cash that we can put towards something else.

You know I secretly always compared TD to my BodyMonkey.com business I started as a “kind of” HouseOfRave.com spin-off.

I remember documenting how I wanted to start it…then a while later talked about how I was going to kill it:

However did you ever think about selling it? It probably wouldn’t hurt to stick it on Flippa for a few days to see the interest.

Although killing the whole thing sometimes makes more sense. Selling the biz is generally chump change in the long run compared with focusing expressly on DI. Even my experience with selling BodyMonkey just took way too damn long.

Can’t wait to see how you further grow DI!

Being an entrepreneur is much like riding a bicycle, it’s scary and tough to let go of those training wheels, you’ll undoubtedly fall learning. Though when mastered you can go further then ever before, explore new things and areas, but you always run the risk of falling off and getting hurt, no matter how good of a rider you are. In extreme cases a car can come out of no where and hit you, and the best protection won’t save you and you’ll wonder for the rest of your life if it was your fault. You guys have just stopped peddling up a giant hill, we’ve all done that before.
