Building a business is an incredible journey, but what happens when your passion for that business starts to fade?
For Ellis Achim, founder of Paddie Nails, success in the D2C e-commerce space wasn’t enough—he wanted to build something he truly loved working on every day.
After years of growing Paddie Nails into a thriving, profitable brand, Ellis realized that while the business was doing well, he wasn’t personally connected to the niche.
So he decided to sell, but it wasn't a simple process. After a disappointing experience with another firm, he found Website Closers and worked with broker Paul Volen, who streamlined the process and connected him with over 100 serious buyers, ultimately leading to a successful sale.
In this episode, Ellis shares:
- Why passion matters in long-term business success—and when to move on.
- The challenges of finding the right business broker (and what to avoid).
- How Website Closers' buyer network generated 106 NDA signings and 7 serious buyer calls.
- What it feels like to receive your first big business exit wire.
This episode of Deal Closers is hosted by Nate Lind, brought to you by WebsiteClosers.com, and is produced by Earfluence.
