EP 226: Protecting Your Legacy Before It’s Too Late: Exit Planning Without Regrets with Kevon Saber


Listen Later

What happens to everything you’ve built if you don’t plan your exit?

Most business owners spend decades perfecting their craft but less than a year planning their exit—a mistake that leads to "seller's regret" for up to 90% of entrepreneurs.

In this episode Kevon Saber, Co-Founder of Legacy Outcomes, reveals how intentional exit planning — executed early and with purpose — can protect your business, your legacy, and your family’s future.

Kevon reveal why the M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) market is often rigged against mid-sized owners and how a disciplined, team-based approach can protect your life's work for generations to come. Rather than reacting at the last minute like most sellers, he breaks down why legacy transitions often fail and how a disciplined, process-driven approach can dramatically improve outcomes.

Legacy Moment: The reality is... my children told me repeatedly, they don't want to do this... I got to have that exit strategy to get out.
