The hardest part of selling isn’t the contract. It’s the Monday morning after.”
“Most advisors focus on the Deal. We focus on the Founder. If you feel stuck, it’s likely because your ‘internal’ exit plan hasn’t caught up with your ‘external’ business success. We fix the misalignment that causes deals to fail.
When I work with founders we consider 3 questions that form the basis of any succession plan:
1. Legacy – How do you want to be remembered? Ensuring that the business continues, without you doing what you do today.
2. Identity – Who are you beyond your role as a business founder? Recognising that what has driven your success up to now, may not be the same as who you wish to become.
3. Purpose– How do you wish to spend your time and energy beyond the transition? Exploring different paths to energise and motivate you towards that future.
