Are you actually building a business you can sell — or just a high-paying job you’ll eventually walk away from?

Many Canadian entrepreneurs dream of cashing out with millions thanks to the lifetime capital gains exemption. But the harsh reality? Most Canadian small business owners never sell — and if they do, the price tag is often far lower than expected. This episode unpacks a real-world case of a tech consultant earning 7 figures in revenue, yet struggling to make the business saleable.

By listening, you’ll discover:

• Why top-line revenue means little if your business relies solely on you

• A smarter corporate structure that protects your wealth and gives you real retirement options
