Unless you live in the real world and are realistic about what your business has to offer, selling your business will never happen.
Through the years, I have met many a business owner who dreamed of selling his business. Remember when you were a kid and you dreamed of growing up to be a rock star, cowboy or maybe sail the seven seas? That probably didn't happen. Unless you live in the real world and are realistic about what your business has to offer, selling your business will never happen.
Yes, there are stories of people selling businesses and making big bucks, but most were not contractors. For every business sold, thousands were not. Lots of questions pop up, with few simple answers. Who will you sell it to? At what price? What will you do after you sell the business? Why do you want to sell? Not only that, do you have a real business that is saleable?
