> with one exit under my belt and a good deal of financial security, I will be in an even better position to succeed the next time around

Why is an exit defined as success? Success should be building and maintaining a business that can annually bring you in a ton of cash, keep you relatively sane, keep loads of people from your country's economy in employment and above all provide goods or services that will make someone else's life/work a little easier.

You want to make a business of selling businesses, fair enough but I disagree that that is what we should all be doing.
