If you’re anything like the business owners I know, chances are that you’re focused on GROWING your business, not the day you’ll leave it behind!
And yet there’s a HUGE trend of baby boomer business owners exiting their businesses.
So welcome to a new podcast series on Exiting Your Business.
In this first episode of the series, special guest Barb Stuhlemmer, business and change strategist, and I chat about:
- Some of the challenges of succession.
- Several options for exiting your business, including the most popular.
- Reasons why your business may not even be sellable & how to overcome those pitfalls
- Barb’s “EDIT” process for creating a succession plan.

ACTION PLAN
1. If you’ve already created your Big Picture Vision for your business for the next 5 years, it’s time to think about your Exit Strategy (vision for your exit).
2. Think about:
- When you would like to retire from your business.
- What you would like the exit to look like.
- How much $$$ you will need from the sale of your business.
- Who you think would make a good ‘purchaser’.
3. Start gathering some information and thinking about who you would need on your team to help you with this succession plan.
