It’s a grim statistic. That means 80% of business owners interested in selling turn around and lock the door as they have always, done for years. But one last time, it will be for good and they will never be back. Years of hard work taking on the stress of payroll, bank loans, and business red tape is a tough grind that employees don’t understand. But the owner moves forward with the ambition and optimism that it will all be worth it when the business is sold and their retirement is fully funded. Yet, when that day doesn’t come, it can be devastating to a business owner left questioning if they made the right decisions. Fortunately, some business owners get it right and can sell their business successfully. This doesn't happen by accident, it generally takes 3+ years of planning and preparation to ensure a business is sellable. Gene Sower sold his company Samson Media and stayed on to continue running the business for the new owners. I'll be talking with him about How and Why Selling His Business Was the Best Thing he Ever Did. Gene Sower is the founder of the digital marketing agency Samson Media which he started in 2006. Gene sold the agency after 15 years and now works as a new business development consultant for the new owners based in Maryland.
