Hey there, business rockstars!
Yes, you! The one juggling sales, operations, and five cups of coffee before noon while answering emails like a caffeinated octopus.
Let’s talk about something exciting (and slightly terrifying) — Next-Generation Buyers.
They’re coming... and oh boy, they’re picky.
We’re talking, “I only buy coffee made from beans that were sung lullabies by monks,” kind of picky.
So, if your dream retirement involves sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and zero spreadsheets — it’s time to make sure your business is ready for its big close-up!
Here’s your “Save My Sanity Before I Sell” Checklist:
Now here’s the real plot twist
Exit planning takes 3–5 years (yes, YEARS!).
But with strategic business coaching, you could fast-track that to 12-24 months* — and still have time to binge your favorite Netflix series guilt-free.
*all depends on where you stand on the bullets above!

So, if your dream retirement involves sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and zero spreadsheets — it’s time to make sure your business is ready for its big close-up!
Here’s your “Save My Sanity Before I Sell” Checklist:
- Train your employees – No one wants to buy a business that falls apart faster than your Wi-Fi during a Zoom call.
- Develop a "mini me"– You can’t be the only superhero in the building. Assemble your own Avengers team!
- Operationalize you business – Future buyers want clarity, not chaos. Think “manual,” not “mystery.”
- Increase sales and profits (decrease expenses) – Because “breaking even” doesn’t exactly scream “Buy me now!”
- Build long-term (and more) customer relationships – Repeat customers = predictable revenue = happy buyers. How many clients make up 50% or more of your revenue?
- Create a competitive advantage – Stand out like the last charger in an airport terminal.
- Make it run without you – A buyer doesn’t want you; they want your magic formula that runs on autopilot. When was the last time you took vacation without checking back with the business?
