Linda Jensen Asks Business Owners, "What Is Your Exit Strategy?" In Her New Book

OLYMPIA, Wash., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 51% of businesses are owned by baby boomers, meaning that over 16 million business owners will soon be passing their businesses on to the next generation. The biggest problem is that only 20-30% of businesses actually sell, and 50% of businesses sell involuntarily. Certified Exit Planning Advisor Linda Jensen shares her knowledge on what business owners should know before they decide to exit in her new book: What is Your Exit Strategy? Packed with personal stories, statistics, and meaningful advice, this book is a must-read for all business owners.

What is Your Exit Strategy? begins by highlighting the problem: many business owners do not have the right mindset or plan in place when it comes to selling their business, and therefore, their communities and employees will suffer. With a plan in place, business owners can be prepared for the "Five D's:" Divorce, Disagreement, Disability, Distress, and Death. Linda also highlights the importance of value acceleration, the importance of having a team, and both internal and external sales opportunities. 

Linda Jensen has covered all the bases in this rich and thoughtful analysis of how to develop the best and most effective exit strategy to selling a business. Along with a team of talented experts and advisors, Jensen delivers the goods and offers quality advice.

Linda Jensen says, "We need to get our minds straight about what our business actually means to us, emotionally and financially. Selling your business will most likely be the largest liquidity event in your life. It's really important that you get it right. We need to change the paradigm of what it means to sell successfully." Selling a business is the make-or-break point for many companies, and a successful exit will set it up for a prosperous future.
