In fact, for some reason this morning I was thinking of a job, and co-worker who made life incredibly difficult, -- and it's a job I left more than 20 years ago. Yikes. I've been looking over NEW books. For those who want to know not how to sell a business, but how to create a business that will sell (and there's a big difference), take a look at "Built to Sell," by John Warrilow. He tried to sell a business once, and failed, so has now changed his ways. He said he learned more from his mistakes, than anything he did right (and I do find that very important). There's even a <a href="http://www.builttosell.com/siq.php" rel="nofollow"> quiz on sellability</a> (or sellability index) that helps you find out if you have a sellable business and how much money you might get for it.
