Do you want a resource full of expert advice to guide you through the ups and downs of exit planning? If so, this episode of the Quiet Light Podcast is for you! According to Joe Valley, selling a business is a lot like running a marathon. You could choose to avoid the pre-race prep, and when race day arrives, you could probably get out of bed and finish the marathon. However, without proper training beforehand, the race itself will be ugly, painful, and simply not worth it. Long story short: training matters, both for running a marathon and transferring your business. So, what are the key concepts and strategies you need to make a successful and profitable exit? In this episode of the Quiet Light Podcast, co-hosts Mark Daoust and Joe Valley sit down to discuss Joe's upcoming book, The EXITpreneur's Playbook. Together, they talk about Joe's motivation for writing a book about exit planning, some of the key lessons and stories from the book, and where you can grab a copy of The EXITpreneur's Playbook — starting June 15th, 2021.
