How to Make Your Exit a Launchpad, Not a Letdown with Bruce Eckfeldt | AAE Ep 46

Описание: What if selling your business didn’t end your story. It leveled it up?

In this episode of Agency Acquisitions & Exits, I sit down with Bruce Eckfeldt — agency founder, strategist, and author of Springboard: How to Make Your Exit a Launchpad, Not a Letdown.

Bruce built and sold a high-performing agile transformation agency, only to discover that the hardest part wasn’t the deal, it was the transition.
Six months into a three-year earn-out, he realized he had outgrown the business and needed to design his next chapter.

Now, he helps founders sell with intention, building exits that accelerate their growth, not end it.

We cover:
• How to identify your optimal timing for a sale
• Why most founders stay two years too long
• How to use operating systems to build valuation
• The truth about earn-outs and deal fatigue
• The mindset shift from operator to owner
• How to make your company exitable before you ever list it
• What it means to treat your exit as a strategic play, not a finish line

If you’re thinking about selling your agency ( or building one worth selling) this episode will help you design your path forward.
