July 16, 2025 John Dini: Business Brokerage and Wealth Protection
Are business owners truly prepared to transition out — or are they clinging to myths that could cost them everything?

In this episode of Legacy Leaders, guest host James Moore sits down with John Dini, serial entrepreneur, exit planning expert, and creator of The Exit Map. Together, they explore the realities of business exit planning, sharing valuable insights and practical tips for business owners and advisors alike. John draws from over 30 years of experience to discuss the often overlooked emotional, strategic, and financial pitfalls owners face when exiting their companies. This episode is a must-listen for business owners, financial advisors, and estate planners seeking to guide clients (or themselves) through successful business transitions.

Key Takeaways:
● 🧭 Exit Planning is a Process, Not an Event: Waiting until the last minute to exit a business is a recipe for regret — John breaks down how to start early and build a strategic plan.
● 📉 Valuation Misconceptions: Most owners overestimate the worth of their business by 35% — learn how to have productive, non-confrontational conversations about value.
● 🔍 The Power of Risk Awareness: Buyers are laser-focused on risk; understanding and mitigating perceived risks adds real value.
● 💼 Coaching vs. Consulting: Business owners respond better to guided discovery than top-down expertise — empathy wins trust.
● 🌍 Community Impact of a Transition: A business exit affects not just the owner, but employees, families, and entire communities — the ripple effect is real.

Quotes from John Dini:
● "Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want."
● "Risk is valuation — the more a buyer perceives, the less they’re willing to pay."
● "Owners don’t need to be told what to do. They need the information to decide for themselves."
🔗 Conclusion: Business exit is a journey, not a destination. To connect with John Dini or learn more about his tools for exit planning, visit ExitMap.com and check out his blog at AwakeAt2oClock.com.
