003: How To Run a Family Business, Exit Effectively, and Live Life After Selling with Tom Deans

It isn't easy to grow a successful business. It's even harder to let go of one, especially when family is involved, and few people understand this better than Tom Deans. He's built and sold companies worth over $100 million across three generations and speaks at over 100 events each year. Tom is the author of Every Family's Business: 12 Common Sense Questions to Protect Your Wealth. With over 750,000 copies sold, it's the bestselling family business book of all time, as well as one of the New York Times' 10 books every business owner should read. In his new book, Willing Wisdom, he explores the link between money, care, and death with dignity - something we all need to be talking about. Today, Tom joins the podcast to talk about the common issues that tear families apart as they discuss exits and succession planning, how business owners can get over their fears and plan for the next stage of their lives, and why selling your business is never taking the easy way out.   Get the full show notes MarkKravietz.com   Subscribe, Rate & Review the Podcast MarkKravietz.com/subscribe
