Where is the Exit Strategy?

In a small but growing community found along the Turquoise Trail in New Mexico, a local video store was thrown on the defensive when national powerhouse, Blockbuster Video, opened its doors. The local entity successfully beseeched the community to shun the intrusion of the corporate behemoth. In fact, it was not uncommon to overhear mothers at the local elementary pledging not to visit Blockbuster.

So, is the video store saved? Maybe in the short run, but how many of its former customer base are already getting their video on demand? How many more utilize online services such as Netflix and now Blockbuster? The video store is a business model whose end is precariously near, yet the owners show no sign of an exit strategy. Do you have an exit strategy for your business?
