Hey Rob!

Ideally, you’ve been thinking about your exit since day one. A good exit strategy is like a prenup in a marriage—especially if you have a cofounder.

But here’s the reality: most entrepreneurs don’t plan ahead. They find themselves blindsided a few years in, when:

🔄 Life circumstances change
💼 They’re ready for something new
💰 They receive an offer with a shocking number of zeros

Everyone exits. It’s a universal stage in the life cycle of any entrepreneur.

If you don’t plan for it early, your business may not be prepared to go on without you. And if you don’t think about your exit, you’ll likely find yourself asking, “What now?”

Not to get too dark about it, but a helpful analogy is thinking about exiting your business like making sure your affairs are in order for the end of your life.

People are depending on you to leave your business in good shape if you suddenly need to step away. There’s no way around death, taxes, and exits.

Start having an open dialogue with yourself and the relevant people—your cofounder, team, and family. Even if it’s just a password-protected document with your exit thoughts and ideas, take the time to plan now.

💡 Remember: A well-prepared exit ensures your business is ready to thrive without you—and that you walk away without regrets.

If this feels overwhelming, you’re not alone. 

That’s why we wrote Exit Strategy: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Selling Your Business Without Regret.

Our book helps you create a clear, actionable plan for your exit—no matter how far along you are in your journey.
