Every business has an ending. The question is whether you're going to plan for it or let it happen to you.
Kris is thinking about something that doesn't get talked about nearly enough. Aging. Exits. The reality that your business, no matter how successful it is, will not last forever. And if you're waiting until you're ready to leave to start planning, you're already too late.
She's watched it happen too many times. Women in their 50s and 60s realize they need to exit and discover they've built a business that cannot operate without them. They cannot delegate. They cannot step back. The business needs what's in their head to function. And now they're stuck.
Here's what you need to know: it takes 12 to 36 months to get a business ready to sell. If you're already wondering about it, you should start now. Not because you have to sell tomorrow, but because getting ready invites opportunity.
What you'll learn:
Why most women never think about exit strategy the way men do
How building a business as if you could sell it changes everything
What happens when you become too enmeshed in your own business
The tipping point where it becomes too late to exit easily
How to shift from founder to custodian of what you've built
What to ask yourself if you're staying past your expiration date
The sooner you start thinking about this, the more choices you'll have. It's time to get honest about what comes next.
