What emotional issues and remorse do a entrepreneur face after the sale of their business?
Why do many entrepreneurs who sell their businesses suffer from seller’s remorse? For some entrepreneurs,who have sold their businesses, what emotional issues do they face after sale?
Depends on why you’re selling.
Is it due to divorce and you have to split the assets? is it because competition by larger competitors has squeezed you out?
Is it because you’ve spent 30 years (or more) painstakingly building up a successful business only to be told by your children that they have absolutely no interest in taking it over and can’t wait for you to sell it?
These circumstances shouldn’t be called seller’s remorse any more than the bank foreclosing on the home you lived in for 20 years should be called seller’s remorse.
Anything a person does year after year is a habit and habits can be hard to break. As long as a person has something better to look forward to (in any situation) then they’re not likely to feel much regret – if any – for very long.

Can an entrepreneur request that his salary be inclusive in a business loan?
I am curious that some businesses kick off in a few short month and the entrepreneur managaing that business must have dedicated full time towards making it successful.
If they included a salary for the entrepreneur when applying for the loan, is there a cap?
Unless you have a proven track record with other start-up businesses or an unusually favorable relationship with your lender this type of arrangement is not the norm.
However this is not to say that you couldn’t build some sort of salary draw into unspecified expenses but it would be difficult to have an appreciable salary to access for any length of time in this fashion.
Entrepreneur’s Story
LOCATION: Hillside overlooking Novi Travnik
Piece to Camera: Eggert Hardten:
So what we can see here is the town of Novi Travnik lying in the Laksva Valley completely built by the Braatstvo Kombinat. People living in these houses have been employed in the Bratstvo Kombinat. And now they have to find a new future, a new employment somewhere.
When you look down you will see that barren land, which is completely unused. It should be filled with companies, smaller bigger, producing of windows, carpentry, mechanical stuff and so on, as you have down there in this yellow building. Quite a serious company, exporting them all the way up to Croatia.

Slavko Zekic
Private entrepeneur ( N&S d.o.o, and UTP Zekic-Promet d.o.o)
“Bratstvo” was a “giant” that employed lots of people. Their production was guaranteed because it was a military conglomerate. They employed virtually anyone and everybody received a pay-cheque. It was obvious that it was all going to collapse one day. It didn’t matter whether 9,000 or 10,000 people were employed, because the production could cover it. The end was inevitable.
I cannot employ a new worker easily. I first have to create a job for him. He has to earn his wages, and then make a profit for me. I cannot have 20 people walking aimlessly around the factory.
Q (Eggert Hardten): You said there is no political will to support production. What contact do you have with the State?
I have to laugh now… because the only contact I have with the State are the frequent visits from the Cantonal Tax Office! They visit me and others quite often. I wish that someone would come here from any level of the Government Regional, Cantonal or Republic level.
Q: What are you producing?
I produce coffins… Here is the brochure. I took part in two fairs, in Austria and in Croatia to promote my products. It was very costly to do that. It was a necessary expense because if you do not show the world what you do, you cannot succeed.
There are simply too many shops in Bosnia. From here all the way to Zenica. My Italian friends who came here were very surprised to see the numerous stores and resellers in Bosnia. They asked me; “how is it possible that all we do is sell imported goods to one-another”? Do we not see that such a system is bound to collapse someday? Production should be the foundation of everything?

If I was an investor as rich as Warren Buffett and I bought internet companies would this make a entrepreneur?
I want to know if I was an investor as rich as Warren Buffett has been $62 billion, and I decided to start purchasing internet companies, and say I bought ebay, facebook and yahoo, and I took ownership of them and stood as chairman, would this classify me as an entrepreneur?
That makes you more of an investor. The people who created those companies are more of an entrepreneur than you would be. By simply buying existing companies, you would really lack the creativity and success building that entails being considered a entrepreneur.
World of Laurel and Hardy: “Tell Me That Again”
This is my first in a series of L&H clips that will show why I think they are easily the funniest comedians in history. “Tell Me That Again” was a gag that set up each film’s plot but ended up being one of their celebrated routines in its own right.
Classic comedy is the second emphasis of my YouTube channel. Game shows will still be featured in the future as well as crossovers between game shows and classic comedians. Coming soon, a tribute to Fred Allen.
