10 FEB 2026 · Most small business owners believe their business is their retirement plan.
Fewer than one in four will ever sell it successfully.
And the reason usually isn’t the market—it’s preparation.
Today’s guest has seen thousands of deals from the inside and knows exactly why some businesses sell for top dollar and others don’t sell at all. Sometimes, it's a matter of timing.
