A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Awesome book!
Halfway through the audiobook, I wish I had bought the paper book as it has a ton of references to other resources. I'm not disappointed as it is worthy of anyones library.

don't change the recipe
I have purchased the audio book and download copy. One mistake I made was changing up his advice. I feel this is common, people think they can do it better, or omit things that don't seem important.You won't omit sugar out of cookies to make them healthier, This is a great book for the break-fix shop that wants to go MSP or the MSP that wants to make a change. Even if you took one lesson from the book and applied it to your business, your ROI will be ten-fold.Most break-fix one man shows have the same thing in common, they focus on the IT side vs focus on their business. You can't grow a business while you work in it.
