You've probably pondered, even if briefly, what your eventual exit might look like as a small business owner. It all starts with you on a personal level.
How you think. How you feel. How you deal with the long list of fears, frustrations, and questions about the process. You might be thinking:
"My business is my baby. I don't know if I'm ready to let go yet... Wil I ever truly be?"
"This will be my first (and only) exit. I'm anxious about what to expect."
"Will the business survive without me?"
"Can I trust my successor to do a goo job?"
"I just don't want to get undervalued."
It's good to ask yourself these tough questions and have these introspective thoughts. And you'd be wise to do this early and often. Remember, 8/10 small businesses will never change hands and simply shut down because they aren't prepared. Let's keep moving so you're not one of them.
