Maybe the problem lies in the expectations. Normally, an investor wants the investment to grow forever, but that’s not realistic in the long run. There used to be lots of family businesses that only wanted a sustainable income. For instance, a bakery like that wasn’t supposed to branch out and spread to other cities. If they just keep on selling bread every morning to the locals, the family in question survives with that money, that’s enough. They just expect things to be sustainable, not exponential.
