E14 Special Founder's Finish Line with Al Mills: Are You Preparing For Your Grand Exit & Who is Your Safe Pair of Hands?

Founders and business owners too often get consumed with working in the business that they never work on the business; and consequently, the company does not grow, the owner becomes burnt out, and the company simply cannot run without the owner working everyday. The ultimate result is that when the founder or owner is ready to exit the business, they find it difficult to sell, they don’t get offered the price they were hoping for, the business is not actually ready to be sold, and they have to pay a business broker a hefty commission fee; all in all, the owner is left in the position of having an underfunded retirement and the potential future reality of needing to rejoin the workforce once again to make ends meet. It does not have to be this way! Growing, scaling and successfully exiting your business is not about the stuff your company sells, it is about working on the company- corporate processes, team building, capital and asset acquisition, corporate protection, skill and communication development, to name only a basic few. The Solutionist, Lauren of the House of Solandria and Al Mills aka The Prophetic Finiancer come to you again on this special episode of Principled Women in Business Podcast, to uncover how The Founders Finish Line Experience, the only 2 day virtual business retreat, will be showing you exactly how you will have the solutions to all of those business problems and more in less than 3 days!

The PWIB podcast is uncovering the truth, these myths have been costing you money and will cost you even more if you do not listen to this episode of the Principled Women in Business Podcast.
