Figure Out What's Next Before You Exit - Roland Fraiser

Knowing what you do after an exit is key to avoiding the feeling of purposelessness. In this action-packed episode of the Dreamcatchers podcast, host Jerome Myers interviews serial entrepreneur and deal expert Roland Frasier. They discuss how Roland got his start in business at a young age in real estate and has gone on to do hundreds of profitable deals across many industries. Roland shares his philosophy that we all have a choice to take the pilot seat and decide our futures. He emphasizes the importance of having a "what's next?" lined up before exiting a business to avoid feeling lost. They also talk about how to learn deal-making, why most people only have one big entrepreneurial win, and how to look at buying companies themselves as the product after an exit.

I think it's a way to make yourself feel better about it. Not having the hunger, the drive, the skills, the competence to move up to the next level.” - Roland Fraiser "The exit will be very unfulfilling long term… if you don't know what's next.” - Roland Fraiser Connect with Roland!
