✅ Why money mindset matters—and how it shapes your exit experience
✅ The #1 mistake that makes founders rush into the next thing too soon
✅ How to exit with clarity, confidence, and zero regrets


Selling your business isn’t just a financial transaction—it’s a psychological transformation. Make sure you’re ready.
