A powerful offer. A growing client base. A strong revenue stream.

None of it matters if your team is the reason your business can't scale—or sell.

In this episode of Freedom to Exit, Lani Dickinson unpacks why the wrong hires might be the biggest threat to your exit strategy… and how the right ones can completely change your outcome.

You'll hear how one business owner nearly lost a $30 million deal because of one wrong person—and how strategic, specialized hiring turned the entire business around.

• Why generalist hires can create chaos and kill efficiency
• How specialized team members boost business value and buyer interest
• Signs your current team may be capping your growth
• The connection between operational stability and exit multiples
• Real examples of companies that transformed by hiring the right people

If you want to step back from the daily grind, grow sustainably, and attract buyers who pay top dollar, it starts with who’s on your team.
