I think of those days often, and the lessons I learned as a teenager.  And what was that all important lesson?  As a mentor would later say to me, it was simple, “Nothing happens until you sell ...

Selling A Business

  “Yep, I’ll sell my business for the right price, if someone offers me enough money” How many times have I heard that statement……  a lot, heck I’ve even said it.  But that’s not a strategy to maximize the value of your business, nor is it a solid strategy to get those millions of dollars into your checking account.  Selling your business takes effort, preparation, and serious planning.

How To Write A Business Plan; Step By Step Instructions
