I got a call from a broker that sells businesses the other day. I told them I was not ready or in a good position to sell but expressed enough curiosity in their service that a sales rep calls back a few days later. I explain where my business is at; basically that I’m throwing allot of sweet equity at it and struggling to find sustainable growth in terms of operations and pricing.
He went into a overly simplified explanation of what was necessary to grow into a turnkey business that had good resale value. Then the pompous azz told me If I continued doing what I had been I would burn out and be begging someone for a straight job where I didn’t have to worry about sales, marketing and accounting, ect.
I am fed up with advice from Arm Chair quarterbacks that sit on the sideline of business. Executing the plays is harder than it looks on the chalk board.
