Raised in a small town in South Dakota. Served as a missionary in Africa. Graduated college with a degree in accounting. After a stint with Deloitte, founded a business with a partner. Eventually, acquired a nationally based franchise company, repositioned it, scaled it, sold it, and then abandoned the San Francisco Bay Area for the scenic Northern California Sierra Foothills seeking a slower-paced life and to be closer to one of our daughters and grandkids. Got bored. Started the Business Exit Stories Podcast where I interview dealmakers who share their war stories about deals they've facilitated. These stories provide insights, hints, and tips for entrepreneurs helping them position their business for an eventual successful and profitable exit. After hearing hundreds of deal stories on the podcast, I've identified patterns where entrepreneurs, many of whom spent a lifetime – or decades, with their nose to the grindstone but failed to develop a strategy to position their business for an exit. The podcast shares heartbreaking stories of entrepreneurs that lost it all when they botched their exit, as well as some that had over-the-fence home runs. My new mission in life is to write a book and develop a system to help entrepreneurs optimize their exit value enabling them to enhance their post-exit lifestyle.

This week, Tony talks to Marvin Storm, founder of the Business Exit Stories Podcast and author of the book 'Pack Your Parachute - How To Double The Amount Of Money You Put In Your Pocket When You Sell Your Business' Marvin discusses the ways in which you can ensure you achieve a far higher return on the sale of your business when the time comes, and make sure that your financial future is in much better shape as a result. KEY TAKEAWAYS Every entrepreneur has to, at some point in their journey, consider their exit strategy. This can take the form of sale, or even retirement, but it's a part of the business journey that is inevitable. Buyers of businesses are thorough. They're in the market for a solution to people's problems that can be monetised. Make sure your business is serving a need and it will be far more attractive to potential purchasers. With tumultuous changes in the business landscape, there are many opportunities to be had in terms of buying businesses. Many owners are looking for exits. Strategic business owners will always prepare for the worst ahead of time. We don't pack a parachute while the plane is going down - we do it beforehand in case of difficulties. BEST MOMENTS 'The reality doesn't match the dream all the time' 'If you can dial into this, that becomes very intriguing to a strategic buyer' 'You need to have your parachute already packed...' 'You have to have the right team of people around you' VALUABLE RESOURCES Tony Talks Wealth - https://omny.fm/shows/tony-talks-wealth Sign Up Now For Exclusive Tony Talks Wealth Content at https://www.patreon.com/TTWealth ABOUT THE GUEST MARVIN STORM A while back, I sold my business and thought I would sit back, take it easy and enjoy life. It didn’t take long before I was bored stiff. This got me to thinking about my last exit. I realized that if I had been better prepared for this exit, I could have done a lot better for myself. My entrepreneurial juices fueled this thought process that has led me to start the Business Exit Stories Podcast, write a book: Pack Your Parachute – How to Double the Amount of Money You Put in Your Pocket When You Sell Your Business, and developing a process to maximize the enterprise value of a business prior to exit. Every entrepreneur is going to need to exit their business sooner or later. The type of exit they have will largely depend on what they do to position their business for their eventual exit.
