Planning Your Exit

Michelle Seiler Tucker is the Founder and CEO of Seiler Tucker Incorporated. For more than 20 years she’s been a leader in the M&A industry at buying, selling, fixing, and growing businesses. Unlike others in her male dominated industry, Michelle finds that it’s more than a deal — she helps entrepreneurs build their businesses to sell. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, Michelle shares how business owners should think about their exit, and what steps should be in place.

Avoiding Catastrophe

Most business owners build their companies with the goal of achieving success and without a plan to exit. They often don’t consider selling their company until there is a catastrophic event, whether personal or professional. Michelle explains why you should never sell your business during or after a catastrophe. She shares how successful entrepreneurs like Mark Cuban time the sale of their businesses when the company is at its best, and why you should too.

Determining Your Value

Michelle explains that the majority of entrepreneurs don’t know what their business is worth. It’s essential to have your business evaluated over the years to constantly be aware of its standing. She also shares the importance of planning an endgame number for your business. Determining what number you need your business to be worth in order to sell helps you to plan for the future. In the episode, Michelle explains why regular business valuations help you build a successful business.
