Owners begin thinking about the Exit Planning Process when two streams of thought begin to converge. The first stream is a feeling that they want to do something else besides go to work every day: either they would like to be someplace else-doing something else-or they simply no longer get the same kick out of doing what they are doing.
The second stream is the general awareness of the following:
-They are close to financial independance
-They are making significant strides toward reaching financial independance.
-They can achieve financial independance today by selling their business.
