Happy New Year, Self Made Nation! As we embrace the fresh start that a new year brings, it's the perfect time to reflect on the wisdom that dwells in our communities. For me, that starts with the nuggets of gold imparted by my guests over the past year. The Cash Rich Exit Podcast has become a beacon for entrepreneurs seeking actionable strategies and insights to successfully exit business.
To kick off the year, we've compiled a montage of ‘fun, frank advice’ from 12 business leaders, a signature feature of our podcast. My 'fun, frank advice' question has been a favorite wrap-up at the end of each episode for years now, bringing a dash of personal insight and real talk from my guests. It gives you something memorable to help you reorient to timeless wisdom! And guess what? We've been rolling out these golden snippets into an annual montage for four years running! It's our way of celebrating all the smart, often witty, always valuable advice that's been shared.
So, here's to keeping the tradition alive, packing in all the fun and wisdom you've come to love from The Cash Rich Exit Podcast!
A treasure trove of business brilliance from twelve titans:
"Trust your gut, go with it, and good things will happen. Rocking the boat is part of making waves in business!" -Karen Brownrigg (EP 263)
"Never, ever take your eye off the money; it's the lifeblood of your business." -Angela Sutcliffe (EP 264)
"Don't do it alone. Share the good, the bad, and the ugly of your entrepreneurial journey." -Karla Briones (EP 265)
"Overestimate your expenses and underestimate your income. It works somehow magically!" -Nicole Laframboise (EP 266)
"Be intentional and just do it. Life is not a dress rehearsal." -Natalie Oldfield (EP 267)
"Fun is fuel. Indulge in what lights you up and make room for it in your life." - Lisa Anna Palmer (EP 268)
"Don't wait until you're ready to start preparing for your exit. Start now." - Jean Francois Murphy Filiatrault (EP 279)
"Don't take it too seriously, and build a team you enjoy spending time with." - Scott Duke (EP 280)
"Enjoy your family time. It's the best thing to do, especially as an entrepreneur." - Pete Stefanovich (EP 281)
"Be honest with your broker; hiding things could kill a deal." - Guylaine Ure (EP 282)
"After selling your business, date first, don't marry. Try a few things, dabble in areas but don't overcommit." - Robert Bezede (EP 283)
"Don't build to an exit. Build a good company, and the exit will come." - Mark Lerohl (EP 284)
As we venture into this new year, let these nuggets of wisdom be your guideposts. Each piece of advice, drawn from the diverse experiences of our guests, offers a unique perspective to enrich your entrepreneurial journey. Remember, building a successful business and planning a cash-rich exit is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires vision, adaptability, and a solid understanding of your goals and the landscape you navigate.
