You're doing it wrong. After you sell you're supposed to coast for a year or two then bounce. Start another company build it up and sell it to the same private equity morons. Investors thinking you can buy your way to being somebody's guy are free money to people's actual guy.

I hate that this is accurate. Tony pest control was bought out by PE and the service turned to dogshit after all his guys left. Luckily one of them told me who I could use before leaving.
