Walk Away Wealthy: The Entrepreneur's Exit-Planning Playbook Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
The essential guide to selling your business--and walking away with maximum wealth Nearly every entrepreneur dreams of one day selling their business for big bucks, but far too many aren't aware of exactly what it takes to do so. The sobering truth is that it's very easy for the entrepreneurs who don't know what they're doing to walk away from a sale without the financial freedom they hoped for. In fact, only about 20 percent of businesses for sale will successfully transfer to another owner! In Walk Away Wealthy, Mark Tepper--a leading authority on wealth management and financial planning for entrepreneurs--shows you how to build a strong exit plan, an absolute requirement if you hope to get the full value from a sale. Tepper's twelve secrets debunk myths and deliver practical advice as he walks you through what most people don't know (or refuse to believe) about the process of planning their exit. And although it's best to start planning the exit as early as possible, the book also delivers advice for those who may have waited too long and feel lost in the face of a rapidly approaching sale. Selling the business you worked so hard to build can be a confusing and intimidating proposition. Let Mark Tepper clear away the misconceptions, steer you clear of common mistakes, and help you walk away wealthy!

One of the best business books I’ve read! As a tech entrepreneur, I got into my business with the hopes of cashing out at some point. This book is a great “how to” manual for building value in your business and cashing out for the highest price possible. At the same point in time, it doesn’t read like a textbook with a bunch of technical jargon, so it makes it easier to absorb the information.
I was fortunate enough to have Mark present to me and a group of Biz owners - it was supposed to be an hour long, though we took double the time to shoot questions at him. Mark REALLY knows his stuff. Me and several of the others then went and bought the book, which is packed full of info.Basically we work had at our businesses. Though there is SO MUCH to do in order to get money OUT OF IT at the end! That's Mark's specialty. He does so from the "experts" point of view, and he has tons of experience. I know his info has increased what I will sell my firm for!!!
We had Mark on our podcast, The Entrepreneurs Library, to give a full run down of Walk Away Wealthy. Mark is sharp and his insight is right on. If you want to hear a review from the author himself check out episode 21.
Was eager to read this and give to friends. It is very high level and has a list of references in the back that you need to research and do to actually execute the plan, so this is not a tool kit as much as a book on the first layers of everything you need to think about. Only downside was the packaging was awful and I had gotten one for myself at the airport but then ordered two more for friends and it was just thrown in a box with one inflatable bag, no protection, so they were scratched and dented.
If you are an entrepreneur who has started or is starting up a business then this book is for you. It doesn't matter if your business is a bran new start up or if you have been around for years there is something here for you to learn. This book will guide you step by step to plan an exit from your business in the most profitable way possible. Over the past year there have been various multi billion dollar sales of businesses that were only a few years old. Microsoft has bought Minecraft at possibly the height of its fame for $2.5 billion. The creator is not planning to retire he is simply moving onto his next idea and has sold his previous venture for a staggering amount of money when it was at its most valuable.Of course not every business is going to sell for that kind of money, however you should have a plan in place to sell up and move on when the time is right. This book tells you how to get maximum value for you business and as the title says walk away wealthy. It is never too early to start planning your exit.
A good friend of mine recommended me this book. I was struggling to build my business from scratch. Obviously I needed the help I could get. The author gave me wonderful insights regarding becoming an entrepreneur. You know when I book is made from imaginative facts. This is not the case as the author knew what he was saying. It was backup by well research data. The book is well organized. It didn’t miss anything so in the end you will not be left hanging. Probably the best thing I learn is to never fear. Those who are scared to start a business, this is a highly recommended book. For those who are veteran business people, this book sums it all. After reading this book, I feel that I have a mindset of a successful entrepreneur. Hopefully I can apply what I learned on my start up company.
