The Real Reason Most Entrepreneurs Never Sell Their Businesses

Описание: What happens after you sell the business you've built for 40 years? Most entrepreneurs have zero plan—and it shows. In this conversation, Vince sits down with Neil McPeek, managing partner at McPeek Wealth Management, to talk about the side of exit planning nobody wants to discuss: the emotional fallout.

Neil's firm manages $3 billion in assets, and he's learned that the biggest obstacles to a successful exit aren't financial—they're personal. Selling your business means selling your identity and your purpose, and if you don't replace those things, the RV retirement dream becomes a nightmare (Vince literally almost killed his wife twice on backpacking trips trying this).

This episode breaks down the real work of pre-sale planning: asking the hard questions about family, purpose, and what actually matters post-exit. Neil walks through his process for getting clients comfortable with letting go, from charitable tax strategies to phased exits that let you stay connected without being trapped.

The conversation gets especially interesting when they discuss the generational shift happening right now—Baby Boomers who are married to their jobs versus Gen Z entrepreneurs planning 5-year flips from day one.

The standout insight? Every major entrepreneur you can name—Hormozi, Martell, Musk, Gary Vee—has one thing in common: they all exited. And then they went stratospheric. The exit wasn't the end; it was the launchpad.
If you're building a business with no exit strategy, you're setting yourself up to fail. This episode is the wake-up call you need to start thinking with the end in mind—because the work starts 2-3 years before you ever list that business.
