1) I intend to work in this business for the remainder of my
time at UF. Then I plan to find a fitting replacement that will be on-campus
upon my graduation. My business is non-profit, so the step down from the
founder/CEO role will be simple once the correct replacement is found.
2) I like this exit strategy because I believe that through
this strategy, the legacy of the campus co-op will live on through generations
at the University of Florida.
3) I believe that my exit strategy has slightly influenced
my creative process. My business will be more of an organization/community
effort so I never felt that I would hold full responsibility for the company
rather that I would be a moving part in the collaborative effort. This would
make me feel more secure stepping down, because I would know that more
like-minded people will be there to happily replace me.
Erika,
ReplyDeleteWell done! I like your exit strategy a lot because as you stated, like minded students will take over and keep it going, all while fine tuning it and changing it to only make it better. I think many businesses should be around for those to enjoy even after they are done with it. Helping each other out in the world is very important! It keeps the ideas flowing for the next generation
