Behind the secret curtain of selling a business | Built To Sell

A business sale I transacted last year has become the first featured "Done Deal" from renouned author John Warrillow. John authored "Built to Sell - Turn Your Business into One You Can Sell" and is a frequent contributor to Inc. Magazine (among others). The Second Edition of John's book "Built to Sell - Creating a Business that can Thrive Without You" is due out in late April and can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com. Great book for business owners even if you are not thinking about selling right now. Click the link and read down about 1/4 the way through the page.
