Over the last 25 years, Mike has bought, built, and sold multiple businesses. Building his first business was a rewarding challenge, but what really captivated him was selling his first business.
But that sale almost didn’t happen. Mike was 10 years in with 50 employees when he found out the business he had built was unsellable. It was devastating. But he moved forward and focused on changing a few simple elements in the business. Those changes made that first sale possible, and he says it changed his life.
Now Mike works to help other small business owners change their business so they can experience their own life-changing sale when the time comes.
