Smart Exit Footnotes

By John E. Anderson

Welcome to Smart Exit™ Footnotes

This is a dynamic digital companion to the book Smart Exit™ Steer Your Business To Success.

In Smart Exit we encourage readers to: “Become your firm’s venture capitalist. Map your succession. Decide your date, dollar, and method. Then, execute that plan!”

In the book’s Introduction, on page 5 there is a “Introduction – Footnotes” section referring to the Internet links and online resources which can be referenced. There are footnotes throughout “Smart Exit™” referring to this site.

 

 

A talk entitled – “Smart Succession” was offered at the Washington State University Carson School of Business Alliance on Wednesday, May 18, 2016. A video of the talk will be available soon with information and a link posted here, when editing is complete. For further information call 800-249-1622.
