    <title>Mastering Your Exit Strategy</title>
    <description>According to The BEI 2019 Business Owner Survey Report, 79% of successful business owners hope to exit their companies within the next 10 years. Over 74% of them rely on their businesses for more than half their personal income and more than half would exit today if they could afford it.  But, about 80% of owners have not created a plan to transfer ownership and 100% of business owners will leave their businesses, whether planned or not. And finally, more than 70% of businesses that are put on the market DO NOT SELL! 
You&apos;ve spent years working this business.  Wouldn&apos;t you rather be in control of where, when and how you want to leave your business. Don&apos;t you want to get the most value from your business? 
It doesn&apos;t have to be complicated. In fact, building your business to maximum value and transitioning out is as simple as creating a plan and ruthlessly executing it. But it takes time. It doesn&apos;t happen overnight or by chance. 
Each week Christine talks to experts from all walks of life, from CEOs, professional advisors, therapists and visionaries. 
Our guests are giving you step-by-step business strategies and personal development to increase and maximize the value of your business and plan a transition out that allows you peace of mind, financial security and an exciting next step. 
I’m thrilled you decided to join us.
