Key Takeaways:

Begin setting up your personal life for retirement before you sell your business- know where you are going and what you want to be doing next
Always have an exit strategy in mind, have your house in order the whole time
Continuing to build the business and keep it going, while selling, can be one of the most difficult things but very important
Some of the strongest leverage includes a good reputation, strong and diverse client base, and ten-year employees
