As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor, Mark understands that preparing yourself personally to sell your business is as important as readying the business itself. This major transition begins with reflecting on your emotional attachment to the enterprise you’ve built and acknowledging the complex feelings that might arise. Ensure you have a clear vision for your next steps—whether that involves retirement, starting a new venture, or focusing on personal pursuits. Financial planning is crucial; consulting with a financial advisor can help you manage the proceeds of the sale and secure your future. It’s also important to communicate with your family and close associates to prepare them for the change. By aligning your personal and professional goals, you can approach the sale with confidence, clarity, and a sense of fulfillment.
