KEY TAKEAWAYS
Many business owners use a magic hockey stick approach to valuation, indicating that upon their exit, the company will somehow produce record-beating results never seen before. The best way to demonstrate any success is to actually test the water. With 80% of all deals going to private equity, it's more important than ever that we understand how that universe works, in order to maximise our own potential. Business owners focus their entire energies on building their company. That same level of dedication is needed when it comes time to exit. Private equity firms rely on investment bankers to sell their companies, managing competitive tension and the entire process. These bankers possess exclusive insights unknown to the general public.BEST MOMENTS

'Think of all the effort that goes into building your business. You need to put some effort into selling your business as well'
'Let me show you what I've built'
