Does this sound like you?
You’ve started and grown your bootstrapped business into something great, but you feel ready for your next adventure.
Maybe you don’t know if your business can be sold. Or you got it valued and it was worth (way) less than you hoped for.
Either way, you know you want to sell your business in the next 3 years and you’re excited to take the first steps in getting yourself and your business exit-ready so you can sell it for maximum value.
“Thanks to this course we dealt with the right questions about exiting strategies at an early stage of our business.
”
“The course demystifies information that has been held secret for a long time, opening up opportunities for more businesses to benefit from exiting.”
It's time.
As long as you’re stuck in the tranches of running your business day to day,
there will always be a cap on how much freedom you can have.
This course will teach you everything you need to sell your business in the next 3 years,
for maximum value.
It’s much more fun than closing shop… and way more rewarding,
because somebody else will continue your legacy for you.
At the end, you’ll not only sell your business—you’ll launch yourself into your next adventure as well.

This Course took almost a year to build.
It was crucial to us that the content be validated by exited entrepreneurs, brokers, M&A experts and legal advisors who close deals, so we get you the best and most up-to-date knowledge.
We succeeded.
We'll be releasing it on Saturday June 1st, 2024 at 2pm CT/3pm ET to the big public.
To reward those founders and small business owners that purchase early during presale, we’re doing something different:
Until June 1st, 2024 you’ll get a complimentary business valuation (+ personal consultation) as an early bird offer.
After the 1st? It’ll cost you an extra $500.
So don’t miss this presale offer!

More than a third of the people that join the course or the community are not yet actively taking steps to sell their business. Most have businesses they still enjoy, but they are aware this will change in the future. This course will teach you how to prepare your business to sell it, so you too can one day have that life-changing exit.
-
Yes, the course starts from where we all started: from the beginning.
We even have a module to help you determine what you want to do after your exit (since there will be a bunch of opportunities coming your way after you sell.
Don’t worry if you don’t know much about selling or your life as an exiteer – we’ll guide you through it all.

The key difference is the approach we take in this course vs. every other course I’ve bought. Our ‘Small Business Selling Course’ takes you down one very specific path. We don’t dump you into 15 hours of videos to listen to and then leave you to choose what to do and when to do it. We give you every step of the process, show you what to do, why to do it, how to do it, and give you templates and exercises to do each thing.
Then we give you the next step. That produces momentum, gives you small quick wins, and keeps you motivated and excited to keep going. All of which give you confidence and increase your chances of reaching your goal.
It’s the same process we use to sell our own businesses, so we know it works (even during recessions or a buyer’s market).
Other courses don’t teach this, or don’t teach it well, and expect you to use a broker (who’s main goal is to sell, but not at the best terms and conditions) and go into a deal you will regret later (like 75% of small business owners do).
We want you to get the best buyer, with the best deal and the best terms.
-
Yes! And when there are updates, they are free.
You get lifelong access to the course too, with all update included.
-
Yes, absolutely. If you have the ability to sell a small business in your country, these concepts apply.
-
Think of a blogpost as being a distilled chapter from a book and this Course as being an entire graduate-level college class. (But much more fun to attend.)
The course goes into much more detail, with use cases, examples, checklists, and video tutorials on every single strategy.
Blogs are flat. Singularly focused on tactics. The course is dynamic and specifically engineered to help you prepare and sell your business for maximum value with easily repeatable strategies so you can continue to build-and-sell more (if that’s what you want to do).
-
Yes. And we’ll credit you $2,000 towards the Community.
In fact, it’s the best way to get into the Community in the future. Because we know you’ve already got skin in the game and are doing the work, you’ll skip the waitlist.
-
Absolutely. It does every day.
This system has worked for small business owners who want to sell without a broker. You don’t have to use one. Far from it.
All of the strategies taught are built on universal business and dealmaking principles and are not specific to going in solo or with your team of M&A experts.
-
At the end of the day, that’s a question you have to answer.
However, I can tell you that the strategies in this course are the same ones we use to get businesses exit-ready, and what hundreds of other people have used to prepare and sell their businesses for maximum value.
Of course, I can’t guarantee you’ll do the same. There are zero guarantees in life.
Let’s say you do join the course, spend $2,000 and sell your business, which is currently doing $100,000 in profit, for a higher multiplier thanks to what you’ve learned in the course.
Let’s say – being conservative here – that multiplier is 6, instead of 5. You sell for $600,000, rather than $500,000. That’s $100k extra in your pocket.
Is it worth it for you? I think so. But everyone has different financial goals. What’s yours?
-
The course is self-paced. Once you complete one lesson, you can move on to the next. We recommend that you take about 4 weeks to complete it, but you can go faster. There are about 5 hours of total video, in 6 units. It goes by faster than you think. But, in case you need it, you have lifelong access to the Course.
-
It depends. Are you still hungry?
If so, yes! We’ve had exited entrepreneurs and business owners take our course to help them sell additional businesses they’ve started and build.
