At some point, every business must undergo a transition of ownership, whether through succession planning, a sale, or closure. Selling your business can not only bring financial freedom, but also frees you from operational burdens like employee management and client demands.

Pulcini discusses the sacrifices business owners must make to ensure the success of their ventures. Additionally, he shares an inspiring story of his friend John, a visionary entrepreneur who built his business from scratch and navigated challenges and setbacks, ultimately achieving a successful sale of his business for $24 million.
