Exit Like a Winner

Your Business Is Not Worth What You Think! With so many of my coaching clients, when I ask them what their company is worth, and what plans they have to sell, the answers come in two forms: Some made up number (usually astronomically high) and when I am ready to retire . In the end, your business is the most valuable asset you own, and Ed Valaitis has written the blueprint on how and when to sell. Perhaps more importantly, Ed shows how to get the most from that 'exit'--both in terms of money, but also in terms of personal fulfillment. It's your baby! Treat it with the respect it deserves and use this must read book to exit like the winner you have been your whole career. - John Hittler Eye Opening and Challenging! Ed's book did a great job drawing me into a subject that I wanted to know more about...and kept me engaged through out the whole read! His use of fiction, personal experience, and his business acumen left me with a greater understanding of the complexity of selling a business and the pitfalls of doing it the wrong way. The book challenged me and gave me more to think about than just M&A's. Ed's passion shows through on every page and I'd recommend it to anyone wondering what a real winner looks like. Lee Hargitt The Book is Full of Strategies, Ideas, and Insights I very much enjoyed the authors history and background that has led to a successful M&A Advisory business. This book is a must read for anyone looking to sell their business or considering an eventual succession plan. There are real life stories and examples of companies that have gone through the process and these are told with an eye towards helping the reader. Highly recommend this book! 5 stars and it's a fun quick read! - Eric Bail Great Lessons to Learn for the Business Owner It's nice to see an expert put together an enlightening piece of work that addresses an area that business owners have a hard time coming to grips with. Examples of the hard lessons learned described in this book have given me many important things to consider while growing my business and when I decide to sell. - Ed Cereno
