The Inside Track · Issue #5
The offer I turned down
A publicly listed company once approached us. I said no, because I was too in love with what we’d built.
Later, my enthusiasm faded, the market softened and valuations came down.
Loving your business is not a strategy.
I’m not telling you to sell. I’m telling you to decide, while you still hold the cards.
Three questions to answer this week
- If a serious offer arrived next month, what would I say, and why?
- What would the business need to look like to be worth the most to a buyer?
- If I stopped enjoying this in three years, what is my plan?
If those feel hard to answer, that’s the real constraint. Book a free 30-minute conversation and let’s find it.
