Selling your business doesn’t start when a buyer shows up, it starts years earlier, often before you realize you’re “building toward an exit.” In this episode of The Founder Ride, Randy breaks down how to begin planning for the eventual sale of your business with clarity and intention, even if selling feels far off. We explore the mindset shift founders must make, from running a business that depends on them to building one that can stand on its own.
