From $500K Personal Monthly Cash Flow to a $26M Exit

Episode details

Why would you give up $500k/month personal cash flow?  Despite his company's rapid profit growth, Marshall Haas chose to forgo his substantial income for mental space and a $26M exit. Before considering selling his main company, Marshall had already begun offloading smaller businesses.  In this episode, recorded just weeks after his major exit, Marshall provides a fresh perspective on the exit process, the differences in selling larger versus smaller companies, and his reasons for selling despite exponential growth. We also delve into the mental shift from enjoying a steady monthly cash flow to receiving a massive lump sum.
