Amy Lacey: How To Scale and Sell Your Business (Without Selling Your Soul)

The Takeover with Tim and Cindy

Ever thought about exiting your company?
As entrepreneurs we spend most of our days thinking about growing and scaling our business, but one thing most entrepreneurs fail to realize is you also have to plan your exit strategy. Planning for an eventual exit from your business is essential to maximize its value, ensure strategic growth, and manage risks.
In this episode of The Takeover podcast, we are joined by Amy Lacey, a serial entrepreneur, innovator, best-selling author, and business mentor who successfully exited her company for 8 figures.
Amy shares her full story from her first business ventures to her very successful Cali’flour Foods business, her exit, and getting the ball rolling on her latest company—Soursop Nutrition. We also dive into business mistakes (so you can avoid them!)
Amy doesn’t hold back on giving away valuable nuggets one after another! Listen in on this jam-packed conversation and make sure to take notes on how you can come up with a solid exit strategy for your business.
