From the Back Cover

Before the Exit is a book for people who are thinking about selling their businesses and want to come out on top.
In five simple thought experiments, Dan Andrews helps you to formulate your endgame strategy, including:
  • Determining your "lifestyle ladder." How much money do you really need to be set?
  • Anticipating common emotional challenges that can surface during an exit.
  • Ensuring that you feel good about whatever decision you make - whether you hang onto your company with renewed passion or take the money and run.
After reading Before the Exit, you'll be prepared to face the final phase of business ownership with the same confidence you used to get started.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book will help define your direction in life (and in business).
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2018
I’ve read this book twice already—it’s a brilliant short read that will change your perspective in a way you’ve never encountered from a business book.

Inside Before the Exit, author Dan Andrews takes a unique look at what it means to sell your business and covers what the practical steps are for ensuring you make the right decision—I’ll give you a quick rundown from a reader perspective:

It’s extremely applicable (much more so than your average business-orientated book), Dan runs the reader through thought-experiments and sets up “what if” scenarios for the reader to put themselves in that in reality—very few business owners fully consider when it comes to not only exiting a business, but even starting one.

But what if you’re nowhere near ready to sell a business?
This book is important for every stage entrepreneur. I’m nowhere near ready to sell my business, but I still got so much out of it. For example, Dan covers an important concept called the “lifestyle ladder” (pg 10) —which changed the way I thought about money, how much of it I needed, and what I could do with it.

And if you’re considering exiting a business then this is a must read. Because the truth is, more than half of entrepreneurs who have sold their business report being unhappy after the sale! Please, don’t be one of them! Spend an hour with this refreshingly honest entrepreneur who candidly shares his firsthand experience selling his business without considering all the options—so you can.

The book made me think about not only exit and end game for my business but what I wanted for my life.

Before the Exit has no fluff, won’t take much time—about an hour to read. Definitely check it out!
