I help business owners sell their businesses..... and get their lives back! T-Bone Pickens said "every deal I've ever done, began with a phone call." Most every owner tells me the same things: They just got to a point where they were bored and they have other things they want to do with their time and money.They LOVE some parts of owning their business, LIKE other parts, and are kept up at night by everything else. Their employees fall into 3 buckets: 1/3 they'd take a bullet for, 1/3 punch in, do their job, and go home, 1/3 they wish they had never hired, but are too busy to find and onboard new people (and some in this 1/3rd are family)! They didn't know they could sell and stay on. I say "do the part you LOVE, get a paycheck and your weekends back, and let's sell the rest."They have sales of $1M-$15M in construction, distribution, manufacturing, and consumer / commercial-products companies. I "feel their pain" as I have owned my own businesses, was an engineer for 20 years, then went back and got an MBA & a Colorado real-estate license. As Ben Franklin said "There will be sleep enough in the grave."
