May it be filled with all your little heart desires…
As well as those of clarity and grace.
And if that happens to be about facing the GET OUT of my business question, lets start talking.
It will make for a more positive 2015…
Had a great e-chat with Ann Molloy of the EDITION 17 of the magazine Renegade Collective, part of the collective hub.com a little while back.
What resulted was a most informative inclusion in the current edition of the magazine (the one with George Clooney on the front!), talking about “How to Shut Down a Business“.
It being the discussion piece by an Exit Strategist who knows what to do (namely me), complementary to the fabulous story “Exit Left”, about Nikki Durkin upon announcing the closure of her start-up 90dresses.
Her blog post went viral.
It seems we all want to know: how does it feel with the worst happens?

WANTED: BUSINESSES TO SELL!
Why, because we have buyers!
Yesterday I attended a funeral of a mother of a dear friend of mine.
Always of time of sadness and reflection…
Given the amount of grief experienced again today, I can’t help thinking about the poor families of business owners who have not done anything about their business affairs before they fall off the mortal coil, leaving it to their family to clean up. “Take me out in a box”, they say.
SO NOT SMART OR FAIR.
With the family grieving, the last thing they want to have to deal with is a business they most probably have no interest in. Lets face it, if they were going to be interested, they would have done so well before the fateful day. And the longer the business is left without being tended will mean the value drops away at a fairly rapid rate. Not good for selling purposes, at all.
Seriously, do something about the business before the owners are gone.
If you cannot, then call a broker just as soon as you can and have them get it sorted for you as soon as possible.
As the business probably forms part of the estate, the sooner it is sold the better the outcome will be for all, financially at least.
