Bespoke Partnerships, Owning a Job, Building to Sell

Published 1 day ago • 2 min read

The Business Owner's Journey

Businesses get “sold” every day. But there’s a difference between a successful sale and just getting out.

The phrase ‘successful exit’ gets used a lot. No shade. I use it too.

This week is a special episode - where I’M the guest being interviewed. 😲

I talk about my four successful exits - as well as the others. And I break down how I define a successful exit.

Not just “Did it sell?” But:

➡️ Did I take a market-based wage?

➡️ Did we distribute profits?

➡️ Did I get paid for the equity I built?

Because if I’m going to talk about exits as part of my story, I want to be clear about what that actually means. Not every deal is a win. Not every exit is a success.

Not everyone will share that side of things.

To be fair - an exit that doesn’t check all 3 boxes isn’t always a failure. I explain that too.

My hope is that this conversation gives you clarity on how you’re building and what you’re really building toward.

Feel like you're running on a hamster wheel?

It's because your current business was built for startup and early traction, not scale.

Congrats, you've outgrown your original design.
