My Exit Strategy

1. I plan to protect my venture for many years so that it can be passed down to someone close to me.
2. I hope to continue building off this venture by creating new products for my business.  Although in the next decade I would rather be running my coffee shops from afar, I'd still like to be the owner.  At this point, I want to focus more of my attention on the products I'm creating for my business and focus less on running the actual coffee shop.  I also plan to exercise this exit strategy for the purpose of maintaining the values and routines instilled in my staff.  I want to hold on to the integrity of my business.  I guess the overriding reason for my exit strategy is simply that I'm a control freak and don't want my company to fail at any other hands but my own.  
3. I think I've placed extra influence on team chemistry between my staff.  I think that is why I chose the exit plan that I did.  I want the focus of my business to be on the customer always.  By having a solid staff that understands the values that I have placed within the company, I believe my business will have something that other businesses don't have, consistent customer satisfaction.  I think it's easy for customers to be turned off by a company when they don't do everything with the customer in mind.  Also, values and routines can be shifted when a company begins to grow and franchise.  I want to maintain control over this.
