Every owner must part with their business one day. Many will close their doors, realizing little for their life's work - while a select few will become fabulously wealthy.

The Art of Selling Your Business: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks for Exiting on Top is the last in a trilogy of audiobooks by author John Warrillow on building value. The first, Built to Sell, encouraged small-business owners to begin thinking about their business as more than just a job. The Automatic Customer tagged recurring revenue as the core element in a valuable company and provided a blueprint for transforming almost any business into one with an ongoing annuity stream.
