Host Laurie Barkman, The Business Transition Sherpa, talks with Mike Malatesta, CEO of LJP Waste Solutions. Over the past 30 years, Mike's experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. He built and sold two waste recycling companies that grossed more than $500M. He’s also an author, podcaster, and advisor to business owners.

Mike talks about the unexpected death of one of his business partners due to a workplace accident. Dealing with the loss was challenging and accelerated their interest in a potential exit.

You’ll want to hear why Mike believes entrepreneurs should not sell their business without the help of advisors and the mistake that cost him $4 Million.

For a successful exit, reflect on where you are now, what you want, and what the first step is to move towards that goal.

Why entrepreneurs should not sell their business on their own
