Transcript:

I’ve had interviews with about 500 different people. I’ve asked them about what their main challenges are and their main hurdles.

Number one is knowing what their business is worth. Most people have no clue, or they think it’s way up there. And in fact, it’s way down here. That was number one.

Number two was getting started and how to make a plan. Many have no idea.

Number three was the timing and figuring out when it’s time to get out of the business.
