In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon challenges a belief many entrepreneurs hold without realizing it - that simply owning a business automatically creates long-term value. In reality, most service-based businesses are structured more like demanding jobs than transferable assets.Shauna Lynn explains why planning for an exit should start much earlier than most people think, even if selling your business isn't currently on your radar. Building a business that could be sold forces clarity around systems, financial visibility, repeatable client experiences, and brand equity that extends beyond the founder.Drawing from her experience working with home staging businesses and conversations with buyers and sellers across multiple industries, Shauna Lynn breaks down the structural elements that make businesses attractive to buyers and sustainable for owners.Listeners will gain practical insights into how stronger systems, cleaner financials, and consistent processes can reduce burnout while increasing both profitability and long-term value.Even if you never plan to sell, building a business that could be sold changes how you lead it today. Timestamps:(00:01) - (05:05) - Why most entrepreneurs accidentally build expensive jobs instead of businesses(05:06) - (11:10) - Why exit planning should start earlier than most owners expect(11:11) - (18:00) - The emotional attachment that makes businesses difficult to transfer(18:01) - (26:00) - Financial clarity and why buyers care about your numbers(26:01) - (33:00) - Systems, delegation, and building repeatable client experiences(33:01) - (36:00) - Why structure and brand equity make a business valuable Resources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastSell Ready Business Evaluation Ebook: https://styledlistedsold.com/sellreadyEp 104 - The Simple Financial Framework That Helps Business Owners Stop Guessing with Zahra Carol Baghdadi: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/rwrb-podcast-episodes/financial-framework

It was five days since I had called to check in on a contractor owner with no response.   Finally, hoping everything was ok, I texted another check in, to his simple reply, “Honestly, when I said I work all the time I wasn't embellishing the truth. I just wrapped up another long day and headed home now.”   That was on a Sunday night for a business that shouldn't have much to do on the weekend. For too many business owners, the harsh reality is that the business is owning them and it may be time to sell.   There are three helpful filters to flush a decision through when timing a potential sale of your business. First, do you have a desire? Desire cedes ground to opportunity that has lured many business owners down the path of “profitable distractions” - where the potential of profit distracts from what the owner desires.   Ownership is hard, and owners must have a continued desire to own and lead the business in a way that others desire to follow.   Second, are you at a relational impasse? Many owners are leading their business based on the expectation of generations before that this would “always be a family-run business”.   There is no badge awarded to the longest-running family-owned enterprise; the odds are often stacked strongly against.  Each person has their own unique skill set and we should not assume that our children or kin either have the desire or the capability to run the business.   It should be their dream and not yours. The third filter to use when thinking about selling is to ask, “would others lead the business better than you?” Life runs in seasons.   The Byrd's (quoting the Jewish Proverbs) remind us that there is “a time to plant and a time to pluck up.” Just because you have owned your business for 10 years does not mean you need to own it for 40 years.  What season of life are you in?  What season of life is your business in?   Merge those questions with desire and relationship and you will start to focus on the value and timing of selling your business.

For a business owner looking to sell a business, learning as much about the sales process would probably be one of the first few steps that he might take in preparation for the sale. Consequently, researching about buyers’ experiences and expectations when buying a business such as the one he owns may not be one of the priorities of a business seller. To shed light on what the experience is like to be on the other end of the spectrum of buying a business, Mike Rabinovich shares his story on buying the successful Miracle Method franchise in Portland, Oregon.

Restructuring and reorganization are two different things. However, in some cases, if you don’t do the former, you may have to succumb to the latter (reorganization) through bankruptcy. If your business is stagnant, showing little or no signs of growth with no obvious way forward, restructuring may be just what the doctor ordered.  Dan Tamkin is the managing director at Resurgent Ventures, as well as the chief technology officer at Transdev, with a depth of experience as a corporate developer and venture capitalist. Dan returns for his second visit on “Deal Talk.” On this visit, he talks about what restructuring really is and how it can help to revitalize a company looking to heighten its value..
