How to Run Your Business to Increase Value and Profitability with Jessica Fialkovich - Episode 262
This Episode is special. I'm with Jessica Fialkovich, a Business Exit Expert, a bestselling author, speaker, and small business advocate. She sold her first business a decade ago and successfully exited it before buying her next business - a business brokerage office. She has since built the fastest-growing and most successful business brokerage firm in the US.  Jessica realized that most business owners who decide to sell their businesses are not prepared for the process, and few experts teach how to sell a business. She founded Exit Factor, an education firm that provides tools to buyers and sellers for successfully and profitably completing transactions.  She is an entrepreneur who has built and sold four startups with her husband and business partner, Al. Jessica enjoys exploring the mountains with her family and attending as many Springsteen shows as possible.
