My company is 8 people. Profitable. No outside capital. $5M revenue this year (doubled every year since 2023). I can work from home. Do school dropoff/pickup. Have a snack with my kids after school. But everyone asks how my little lifestyle business is going? So if you aren't sleeping on the office floor you're not a real entrepreneur? SMH

[Exit Five @exitfivemedia]

Join us September 8-10, 2026 in Stowe, VT for our annual event with 400 B2B marketing professionals.

Drive is intentionally small, practitioner-led, and focused on hands-on workshops and tactics you can bring back to work on Monday. It’s the conference for the people who are actually running B2B marketing — not watching it from the stands.

Tickets available now.
