Selling your
business can be a dream come true. But there are some surprising
realizations you and your spouse or significant other will make
once the sale is done. In this episode, I discuss some of the
lessons I've learned about life after the sale of a business. I
explain the sense of loss that many entrepreneurs feel after
they've sold their companies. I also give some tips to prepare for
life outside your business, so you can make the transition to
"civilian life" as simple as possible.

Our Favorite Quotes:
"When people ask me about my own recent sale, they're often shocked
by my answer. You see, while I don't regret selling my companies,
there's a sense of loss that I can only compare to the loss of a
child." - Justin Goodbread
