Why my business wasn't sellable

For over 20 years I ran a web marketing agency. My mentor, Perry Marshall, told me I need to have an Equity Mindset for my business, even if it's not a seven or eight-figure business. ✅ The leverage points most business owners never see ✅ The critical mindset shifts that separate successful exits from disasters ✅ How to raise capital without “selling your soul” ✅ The framework for maximizing value while staying in controlIf you want to build a business that sells for top dollar (instead of getting swallowed by investors), you don’t want to miss this.

I felt embarrassed and said to myself, “This isn’t me!” But Chapter 24 of Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots explained exactly what was going on and offered a path out of it. Dr. Rao reveals that anger and fear aren’t triggered by what’s happening around us. They come from resistance to our present moment. When life doesn’t match our expectations, we tense up, tighten our identity, and react, rather than...
I’ve lived through three career arcs so far and each one followed the same pattern: Master a skill. Become the expert. Then watch the world move on. In the 1980s, I was an award-winning field engineer in Silicon Valley. Back then, fixing computers meant using voltmeters and oscilloscopes. Real diagnostic work. You had to know what you were doing.
