"Control the price, timing, and terms of your exit."

There's one truth that should stop every business owner in their tracks:

Everybody exits. How matters.

This isn't a motivational poster. It's a fact -- and the difference between freedom and financial failure depends entirely on how seriously one takes that truth.

At Built To Exit (B2X), founder Jason Sisneros doesn't work with business owners who want a participation trophy. He works with those ready to engineer their legacy. And that starts with understanding the three types of exits -- only one of which is worth pursuing.

Exit Type #1: The Involuntary Exit

This is the most painful -- and the most common.

Involuntary exits happen when the business fails or tragedy strikes. Divorce, death, disease, debt -- these things don't schedule appointments. They show up like a thief in the night. Without proper preparation, the business, the team, and the family suffer the fallout.

Years of hard work can disappear in months. That's the cost of ignoring the exit conversation.

Exit Type #2: The Dictated Exit

This is the quiet killer.

This exit occurs when a business owner sells -- but not on their terms. They enter the room without a plan or leverage and sit across from a buyer who's closed twenty deals just like theirs. The buyer smiles, nods... and takes the business for half of what it's worth.

They knew where to look. The seller didn't.

As Jason points out, this is what happens when a good business meets a bad process. And by the time the seller realizes they've been played -- it's too late.

Exit Type #3: The Custom-Tailored Exit

This is the B2X method. And the only outcome Sisneros is willing to pursue.

In a custom-tailored exit, the seller doesn't just sell -- they dominate:

• The numbers are clean.
• The story is tight.
• The operations run without the founder.
• And the buyers? They're lined up, competing.

This is when a business owner controls the price, the timing, and the terms. Not through luck, but through leverage -- and leverage, as Jason teaches, is built over years, not in the final 60 days.

The Psychological Game Most Owners Aren't Ready For

There's one more uncomfortable truth that Sisneros emphasizes -- one that most founders don't want to hear:

The biggest killer of your sale price is your ego.

Owners who resist being challenged are already at risk. Those who believe they know better than their advisors because they built the company from scratch are often unknowingly sabotaging their own exits.

Buyers don't care about the founder's grind. They care about the value the business can produce without them.

According to Jason, the most successful exits he's seen come from founders who are humble enough to trust the process, coachable enough to let go, and wise enough to let their teams lead.

Those are the sellers who walk away with the biggest checks -- and the freedom they've worked so hard to earn.

Final Word

Selling a business is not just a handshake and a farewell party.

It's the single largest financial transaction of a business owner's life -- and it doesn't happen by accident.

Business owners can wait, ignore the reality, and exit involuntarily...

They can stay unprepared and let someone else dictate their future...

Or -- they can take control.

Control the price. Control the timing. Control the terms.

That's the Built To Exit way.

That's the Jason Sisneros way.
