105: Skills To Build Your Business Are Not Same To Sell It, Jeffrey Feldberg

How do you master something you've never done before, like selling your business? Entrepreneurs don’t start and build their companies on their own. And neither should they plan their business transition or exit strategy without trusted experts in their corner. Jeffrey Feldberg is the Co-founder and CEO of Deep Wealth, a company that helps business owners learn how to prepare for a maximum-value exit.   Jeffrey founded and scaled an eLearning company, Embanet, with his partners and eventually sold the business. Incredibly, they rejected the first offer for seven figures, but ended up selling it two years later for nine figures.  Jeffrey tells the story behind the story of this impressive accomplishment. Key to his success was understanding that the skills that he used to build his business were not the same skills to sell it. Having excellent advisors and preparing before a merger or acquisition also can help you increase the value. You have one chance, don't gamble with your future. If you're thinking about selling your company one day, you’ll want to take lots of notes. Enjoy this week’s Succession Stories with Jeffrey Feldberg.
