A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

David C Barnett has spent years helping people buy and sell businesses as both a business broker and private transaction advisor. In his years of experience, he has had to bridge that gap several times using broker loans. Business brokers are not in the normal business of lending money. How does one convince a broker that this is the right thing to do?
