15 years went by faster than a strike of lightning. I had 3 kids and a happy marriage. My business had grown to more than 20 million users worldwide.
One morning, I opened my email and saw the name of someone I recognized.
It was Evan Xhao. An old time business guru who had done something similar to Motion back in the 20’s. He wrote:
*”Dear Alex,
I am writing you to inquire about the acquisition of Motion. As you might already know, my age does not allow me to engage in business as much as I’d like to anymore.
I still often reminisce about the days of Notion and how many lives it changed for people. Changing lives was the ultimate joy of building Notion back then.
The more stale I’ve become, the less I am doing. And the less I am doing, the less I am helping. It seems that I cannot enjoy life if I am not helping people.
You know I have the money, so I will offer to acquire Motion for 10 billion munits.
Just think about what that amount of money would do for you and your kids.*
*I hope to hear back from you
Best regards Evan Xhao”*
I stared at that mail for days… I simply couldn’t decide what was best…
But I had to make a choice…
