Everyone is looking to stat next company that will be bought out by the Corporate America. Truth is, those situations are few and far between. The odds of starting the next Instagram are slim enough, lets add on being bought out for $1billion...not likely.
"You need a commitment strategy, not an exit strategy"
Build yourself a company that you can live and manage for the long hall. Give it all you've got- Not "just enough" to sell to the next schmuck.
"Would you go into a relationship planning the breakup? Would you write the prenup on the first date? Would you meet with the divorce lawyer on the morning of your wedding?" -REWORK
Unless you have some serious issues, the answer is no.
Focus on building a company that is successful, sustainable and competitive. That is your best way for someone approach you for a buy out. The real question is- will you be smart enough to sell when the time is right?

Keeping it simple, but doing it better.
RE:http://www.wired.com/business/2013/09/ev-williams-xoxo/
Coming up with the next big thing is always on the mind, but actually coming up with "that" flawless idea is always my biggest hold up.
Keep is simple, stupid. Or at least stupid simple...
I totally agree with Evan Williams in this article: finding the next big thing doesn't have to be the end goal. Starting something that has already been though of by someone else, but doing it better can be a ticket for success.
Some people have the passion, but not the tools to meet their goals. Others have the tools, but no passion to venture out on their own. Coming up with a team of like minded people is also a key for success. One should able to self-realize your own skill set's capabilities, then build a team around your company and it goals.
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking down your complex overwhelming task into small manageable task, and then starting on the first one."
-Mark Twain

Social-J: Social Media Marketing Management
Imagine
a marketing product that reaches hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of
thousands of potential clients or customers in a single click of a
mouse…Imagine interacting with those same clients in a fun, meaningful, and even
sales driven way…Imagine paying less than $3,600 per year for an employee (less than $10
a day) who can make your above imaginations come true…
BOOM! Imagine no longer, because Social J can make those thoughts your reality.
Social J is an Online Marketing Service that specializes in the use of the World Wide Web and social media to reach your customers efficiently, effectively and at low cost.
Having a full time employee at your small business maintain your online media outlets is not an effective utilization of resources. That job takes experience, time, and knowhow to do effectively, and correctly. Social J has that experience and knowhow, and knows how to engage your customers so they stay connected to you, become loyal, and give your company repeat business.

Facebook is the leading source of referred social media traffic to websites, at 26%. Twitter is second at 3.6%.
Mobil Marketing Facts:
4.8 billion people now own mobile phones. Just 4.2 billion own a toothbrush.
Mobile commerce is projected to ten-fold from 2010 ($3 billion) to 2016 ($31 billion).
