Editorial Reviews

"I was delighted to learn Wayne was writing a book for entrepreneurs and, frankly, any businessperson about transitions and exits. I know that it's far too easy to focus on growing your business and deferring these critical issues. I've known Wayne for decades and worked with him on several company exits and now as a long-term client in estate and tax issues. I can't think of anyone who could be more valuable and insightful helping entrepreneurs to optimize results while protecting their families and legacy. He's the type of attorney I appreciate: a trusted advisor who says you "should" do this, not you "could" do this. This book should be at the top of your stack-it presents immediately applicable knowledge to numerous important aspects of your business and personal life."

- John Burton, entrepreneur and Co-Founder, Updata Ventures

"I had a small, tight-knit group of managers that were with me for most, if not all, the journey, over 25 years, and one partner who was with me almost from the beginning. He and I were the yin and yang managing the business, where I focused primarily on strategy, financial aspects, and technical aspects, and he focused on sales and human resources."

- David Eisner, entrepreneur, Former CEO and Founder of Dataprise, Inc.

"Too often, I find business owners who don't begin thinking about the consequences of selling their business until they are ready to exit. As Wayne illustrates in this book, that is extremely late in the game and puts the owner at a handicap trying to deal with structures and considerations that could've been codified years earlier while at the same time trying to be responsive to the pressures of transaction deadlines. Given Wayne's extensive experience, you should read Your Multimillion-Dollar Exit. It will provide you with the means to design a successful business exit that will greatly relieve your stress when that day comes."

- Phil Nolan, Former CEO, Stanley, Inc.

"Wayne Zell's newest book is a must read for entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to be much more financially successful. I have known and worked with Wayne on financial matters for years and know firsthand that he is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, with proven results. Entrepreneurs who care about their financial future should pick up this book without hesitation and follow his expert advice."

- Arnold Punaro, Major General, USMC (Ret.), and CEO, The Punaro Group
