  • 236. Your Business IS valuable, here's what you need to know

    Join me for a chat with Carrie Kerpen, a successful entrepreneur who sold her social media agency a few years ago. During the sale process, Carrie uncovered a surprising and troubling truth: women business owners, as a group, tend to sell their businesses for less than they're worth. In fact, women receive only a small percentage of the revenue generated by business exits every year.

    Carrie's mission is to close this gap by empowering women with the knowledge and tools needed to build and sell businesses that create true wealth. She's here to share her insights and show you what's possible, even if you've thought your business isn't valuable enough to sell.

    Listen in and learn:

    🤑 Why it's possible to sell your business—even if you currently believe it's not worth anything.

    3️⃣ 3 things that will make your business easier to sell
