    When I ask someone a simple question such as (say) how much money they need to be happy, with answer being whatever the amount that person thinks I don't expect to get many questions back about who will give them that money, under what conditions, just name the fooking number and then maybe other questions may follow, but not before.

    It's not a trick - bogey is either scared to commit to any number or just misunderstanding simple question despite numerous examples that included me answering the same question without knowing anything about his or anybodys company.

        The only thing he's able to engineer is a steady stream of steaming bullsh!t.

        Nothing more and nothing less.

          But I am a very good team player mate (so long as I am left alone to do my thing)!

            Can anyone else spot the flaw in the above?

              What I asked you is basically the amount at which IF it gets valued (say I sell all shares for that amount to make it simple) then you'd consider it successful.

              So, let's say I sell all my shares to whoever for £50k, would you consider my business successful then?

              What if the amount was £250k?

              And what if it's £500k?

              £1 mln?

              Maybe you'd consider it requiring higher value to be achieved in order it to be successful in your eyes, then name it.

              It's a very simple question that I answered already about other small businesses that I don't know anything about - anyone in such business who gets £250-500k is success, and big success if over £1 mln (psycological point).

              You are just making yourself look stupid (more stupid) now.

              Ok - in answer to your question:

              Any business which makes a profit is successful.

              Whether it's a £1, £10,000, £1M, £100M

              Profit is Profit and success is measured in degrees.

              The valuation of a business is its profitability combined with its assets.

              You make yourself look like a moron by attaching absolute numbers to the 'success' of a business.

              You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                  Actually it's not a wind up it's just boring. If it ever had any amusement value that went a very long time ago.

                  I enjoy reading some of the links you find since I wouldn't go looking for the content myself, but the bitchfests and unbelievably dull <Placeholder> threads just make me want to add you to my ignore list.
                  It's a shame that your own signal to noise ratio is so awful as you do post some interesting stuff, but finding it in all of the other utter dross you add is irritating.

                    Do you act like a moron when you attach absolute numbers to the rate you quote to your prospective clients? It seems to me it is fairly easy to come up with some minimal figure that would be a measure of success: I'd say for me it would include:
                    a) nice good big house (no morgage obviously)
                    b) a couple of decent cars
                    c) enough money in the bank for interest income to allow living (a bit tough now with low interest rates).

                    All in all £1 mln seems like a fairly successful figure, though I personally think that any small business owner selling their business for £250-500k has achieved success.

                    You did not answer my simple question but I am not suprised actually.
