Podcasts about selling a business

What happens after you sell the business you've spent over a decade building? In this episode, I'm joined by my longtime friend and returning guest Bill D'Alessandro, fresh off the sale of Natural Dog Company. Bill shares what it was like to finally exit after 12 years, how he's thinking about investing his earnings, and why his next chapter might be his best one yet. Listen in as we unpack Bill's decision to divest a portfolio of brands and go all-in on one, how the acquisition unfolded, and why he's now leading corporate development for a private equity-backed pet brand platform. We also dive into the psychological and strategic side of navigating a big liquidity event - from what he's (not) spending money on to how he's thinking about investing, BDCs, real estate, and personal finance.

Selling your business can feel lonely and emotional. You are parting with the thing you have devoted a significant portion of your life to, and that can feel hard. But beyond that is an opportunity to re-invent yourself. In this episode I speak with Luke Winter, a creative director who recently sold his shares in the video agency Wallbreaker. Luke shares with great honesty the emotional toll the sale has had on him. From the moment of knowing it was time to try something new to a final week full of doubt, Luke experienced it all. Now, with the opportunity to explore his next steps, Luke emphasis the need for support and understanding during this transformative time.   "It was a lonely experience." – Luke   You'll hear about:  The emotional toll of selling is often underestimated. It's important to have support during the selling process. Many entrepreneurs feel lonely when selling their business. Routine changes can impact mental health during transitions. Navigating the sale requires clear communication between parties.

But in this episode of Beyond 8 Figures, I sit down with Ben Fraser of Aspen Funds to break down how to invest after selling a business — the right way.Ben's been inside this game since the last recession. He watched his father build Aspen Funds from scratch after the 2008 crash, and he's since helped scale it into a multi-million-dollar platform that helps entrepreneurs invest passively (and intelligently).We talk about why entrepreneurs make terrible investors, how billionaires actually diversify, and the overlooked tax strategy that could save you six figures.

Today's episode is part 2 of last week's podcast, where Mike goes into the details of Icewraps' sale, how he built up profitability from being in a loss at the start of the year, and the mindset he had during negotiations.  Today's episode is sponsored by Autron. Maximize your ROI with Autron's real-time algorithmic bidding, optimizing every ad dollar for smarter spending and higher returns. Start optimizing today and get 30% off for 3 months! It's been nearly 10 years since I first bought IceWraps.  After a long journey of facing Amazon's sudden fee increases, COVID and logistical challenges, I felt that it was time for me to take some chips off the table and finally sell off the last ecommerce business that I'm holding.  It's time for me to get some breathing room back, and move on to another project.  Takeaways Raising prices and cutting unnecessary costs helped turn the business from a loss to being profitable. Transitioning to AWD reduced storage costs significantly. When you have the mindset of being done and over a business, you might be willing to do all it takes to sell. However, it's important to maintain a two-way street and make sure you don't accept terms that seem unfair.  Timestamps 00:00 - The Journey of Selling Ice Wraps 03:07 - Challenges Faced During the Sale 05:56 - Turning the Business Around 09:13 - Cost-Cutting Strategies 12:08 - The Sale Process and Negotiations 15:02 - Finalizing the Sale and Transition 17:55 - Reflections on the Sale 20:59 - Lessons Learned and Future Outlook As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, reach out to us at support@ecomcrew.com if you're interested.  Don't forget to leave us a review on iTunes if you enjoy our content. If you have any questions, send us an email at support@ecomcrew.com.

Summary In this episode, Jonathan Baker discusses the intricacies of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), focusing on the importance of positioning, emotional aspects of selling a business, and the M&A process. He shares insights on preparing a business for sale, understanding buyer motivations, and the role of benchmarking in achieving operational excellence. Jonathan also touches on family dynamics in business partnerships and the significance of open communication. The conversation emphasizes that while every business is sellable, the journey to a successful sale requires careful planning and execution. Takeaways M&A is more about relationships and strategy than spreadsheets. Positioning your business correctly can significantly increase its value. Emotional attachment to a business can complicate the selling process. Understanding buyer motivations is crucial for a successful sale. Valuation is just one aspect; deal terms can be more important. Benchmarking helps businesses understand their operational efficiency. A total business reset can prepare a company for future success.

They also share stories about getting tires repaired and evaluating a used car for purchase. In this conversation, Nick and Marshall discuss the importance of getting a used car inspected by a mechanic before purchasing it. They emphasize that if a seller refuses to allow a mechanic inspection, it's a major red flag. They also talk about the significance of taking care of a vehicle and the potential problems that can arise after 60,000-70,000 miles. They caution against overpaying for a used car and highlight the need to negotiate based on the vehicle's condition and market value.
