The Inevitable Farewell: Why Every Entrepreneur Must Plan Their Exit
Every entrepreneur will eventually leave their business - whether through sale, succession, or something less planned. Yet despite this certainty, exit planning receives remarkably little attention compared to starting and scaling. Drawing from conversations with over a hundred business owners, "Finish Big" reveals a profound truth: the difference between a fulfilling exit and a regretful one isn't just about money. Ray Pagano exemplifies the successful exit, enjoying life aboard his sixty-foot ocean trawler after selling Videolarm for $45 million - four times the original offer he received. His secret? Years of preparation transforming his company from a "benevolent dictatorship" into a well-oiled machine with empowered employees and transparent financials. When he visits his former company today, employees still welcome him warmly - evidence he "must have done something right." The lesson is clear: start thinking about your exit now, even if you believe you'll never sell. This process offers two major benefits: it leads to better business practices as you identify and address weaknesses, and it forces you to clarify who you are beyond your business identity.
