75% of business owners were unsatisfied with how they exited their business after a year removed. And 5% were not happy with the payout.The research project that revealed those numbers led to a body of work that identified specific drivers of a happy exit. One such driver is called "Future Vision"Future Vision is defined this way:Why do you want to exit your business? What do you plan to do after you leave your business? Many owners decide to sell because they need to retire or take care of their health. Those are valid reasons to exit, but they do not necessarily lead to a satisfying result. The key to maximizing your score on this driver is to become clear on what you are excited to pursue after you leave your business. You should consider what you are most looking forward to regarding life after your business.That's what my guest and I talked about in this episode.Diana C.
