There are no easy exits. There is no reason to think that, after building a successful business with that never-say-die attitude, you can effortlessly detach yourself through a sale or transfer. If you were learning a new skill or sport it would be prudent to take a few lessons. Exit Planning is no different. Have a process, follow the process, and be mentally ready and financially strong. The result will be a legacy business that will enhance the community, keep your employees on the job, and perhaps grow to new heights for everyone’s prosperity.
