hear! hear!
The world is not short of ideas. It’s not. It is short of people who can execute on them. [This is where we need buyers of business to step up.] It is short of people who know how to take their aspirations and make a real impact on the world with them.
What differentiates the great ideas that end up on the cutting room floor from those that wind up changing the world? There are five steps, or rather five competencies you can build that separate the haves from the have-nots, the doers from the talkers … They are not a mantra for meditation, they are not positive affirmations that you chant to yourself in the mirror, they are actions.

And…the same applies to the buying and selling of businesses.
We see many business buyers get stuck because they just cannot pull the trigger, they cannot get over their fear enough to back themselves.
Same with the business sellers, sometimes, they just cannot get over the fact that the business will be able to be run by someone else.
Nothing will happen, of course, unless they do. Execution is King!
Are you included in this mob?

There is no single right way to sell. In fact, we believe there are as many ways to sell as there are salespeople.
After all, everyone lives by selling something… including selling your business…
Does that feel liberating? We hope so. If you enjoy sales, if you’re good at it, and if you’re finding some of the success you want, you possess a rare ability—and you should celebrate it. You’re someone who can do this job. And if you’re trying to follow a method or emulating a sales hero and it’s not working, it might not be your fault.
Who you are is who you should be.
You’ll be most successful at the sale of your business if you make the most of who you are.
And by that, we mean using your natural talents—the ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving that come naturally to you.

“Inventing the Future” is what Selling your Business is all about. Certainly, developing your exit strategy goes some way in making that become a reality, especially if looking to use the sale as a springboard for your next add-venture…
Our education system places great emphasis on teaching us about facts that are already known, such as historical information or scientific tables, and then testing us in order to measure how much we’ve retained about that body of knowledge.
Those skills work perfectly well for many situations, but not when doing something new. Or creative. Or original. They certainly won’t help us invent the future.
As education and creativity researcher and author Sir Ken Robinson puts it, ‘We are educating people out of their creativity.’
But it’s still there. And unleashing our creativity, however deeply it’s hidden, begins with little bets.

Little Bets is where getting yourself and your business saleable and sale-ready also starts…
