Imagine someone walks up to you tomorrow and offers to buy your business. Not a lowball offer, but a proper, serious offer. What happens next?
For a lot of small business owners, the answer is: the deal falls apart.
You know the type. They seem to be on holiday every other month. They’re posting photos from the golf course on a Tuesday. Their business is growing, their clients are happy, and yet they’re somehow never chained to their desk.
Meanwhile, you’re working longer hours than ever and can’t take a day off.
You’ve just landed a decent-sized client through a referral from an old colleague. They mention you to a friend. Another job comes in. Things feel like they’re moving.
Then, a few months later, it goes quiet.
