    If you’re a business owner in your 50s or 60s thinking about selling your company, this is for you. After working with tons of business owners as a Certified Financial Planner and Exit Planning Advisor, I’ve seen a pattern. People hit retirement and suddenly wish they had made a few key moves way earlier.

    Today I’m sharing the top 5 things business owners consistently tell me they wish they’d done at 60, so you don’t make the same mistakes.

    Here’s what we’ll cover:

    • Why guessing your business value could cost you millions
    • How saving outside your business gives you way more flexibility
    • The tax planning moves that can save you a fortune (but take years to set up)
    • What to do now so you don’t feel lost after you sell
    • How to avoid family drama by getting everyone on the same page early

    Selling your business is a big deal, financially and emotionally. These lessons come straight from the real-life experiences of other owners who’ve been through it.
