When is the Right Time to Sell My Business?: The Expert Answer by Richard Mowrey
Many entrepreneurs fixate on market conditions, waiting for that elusive 'perfect peak' to sell their business. They watch the news, track valuations, and often delay, convinced that just a little more growth will unlock a higher price. But this focus often misses the deeper, more critical currents at play. Richard Mowrey reveals that the true 'right time' isn't found on a chart; it's built. It’s about the quiet work of making your business truly independent of you, ensuring its systems are robust, and its value isn't tied to your daily presence. More profoundly, it’s about your own readiness to step away – the emotional and identity shift that selling demands. You might find yourself inventing new reasons to stay, even with a great offer on the table, because the idea of letting go feels like losing a part of yourself. This episode unpacks the often-overlooked internal architecture of a successful exit, showing how to create a business that's not just profitable, but genuinely sellable, and a founder who is truly prepared for what comes next.
