One day I want to sell my website network for millions and so today I did some research to see whats possible and I was happily surprised when I came across so many high prices paid for websites. Ryan Allis said “You have to work with the end in mind and every day make sure your working towards it” and thats what I am doing. Every website I create is a asset I can sell one day, it doesn’t just earn me money every day, it will be my retirement fund 😉 !
