I Said No to Millions—And That Decision Made Me Millions More

How is it possible to say "no" to millions and go on to make millions more?

Yes, fact can be stranger than fiction, especially when it comes to business exits.

Let's dive into the incredible journey of turning down millions for the chance to make even more. I share my personal ride from struggling to sell my little attic startup to a 9-figure triumph, and how you can do it, too.

Let me tell you a story. When I first started, I had no clue—no money, no connections, and tons of mistakes. We built Embanet, an e-learning disruptor. A huge company offered big bucks to buy us. Everyone told me to take it, but I didn't. I said "no" because I knew we were playing two different games; they were playing chess, and I was playing checkers.

Like many of you, I began with a simple dream but no cash in my pocket. In college, I started my first business, Embanet, from my parents’ attic. While my classmates were enjoying new cars and homes, I lived on failure for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With no team or cash, but with a lot of grit and vision, my attic startup soon became an e-learning industry leader.

Then, knock-knock! A Fortune 10 company arrived with a 7-figure offer for Embanet. Family and friends urged me to take the money. But deep down, I felt unready. My gut told me playing checkers while big buyers played chess was not enough. This “no” led to a massive learning curve over two tough years, studying mergers, acquisitions, and valuation while avoiding common business mistakes.

Believe it or not, up to 90% of business exits flop, according to insiders. One big mistake is thinking the skills to build a business are also the ones to sell it. They're not. Selling is a different ball game. As I said, "You don't get the deal you deserve. You get the deal you negotiate."

Building the Winning System

Through meeting with M&A lawyers, investment bankers, buyers, and sellers, I built a battle-tested system. It came from lessons learned in the trenches to ensure clarity instead of chaos. Applying this system turned my business talks around. The same business, without radical changes, later received a momentous 9-figure offer.

Here’s the reality: most business exits fail. Without a solid plan, you're gambling with future wealth. Buyers are prepared for the journey; sellers often aren’t. Remember, you don’t get the deal you deserve; you get the deal you negotiate. Preparation is key. That’s why I created the Deep Wealth Mastery Program, which educates you on turning deals and negotiations to your advantage.

I took two years, studied everything I could about selling a business, and practiced with all types of experts. I built a system—Deep Wealth's 9-step Roadmap. It's not just tips. It's a full strategy to win the game. Once I used it, we got a much better deal without changing our service!

Most business owners think they'll figure out exit strategies when offers come. But here's the truth: "Later becomes never." Deep Wealth Mastery helps owners like you prepare well ahead. It's a 90-day program that changes lives and builds legacies.

The Deep Wealth 9-Step Roadmap

This program is not just a checklist but a framework that empowers business owners. It guides you on how to find your X-factors and how to deal with your future buyer for maximum dollar. This program has changed lives by transforming chaos into clarity through a strategic approach driven by learnings from the field.

Meet Rochelle, someone who believed the program was solely for selling. She was amazed, finding it beneficial from day one. “My profits are higher today,” she shared. Kam, a skeptic, found it full of valuable insights, saying, “This one is worth diamonds.” Jain nearly accepted a quick offer until he joined us, saying, “Deep Wealth prevented one of the biggest mistakes of my career.”

The Truth About Business Exits

Let’s face it, selling isn’t about shaking hands and walking away rich. It’s a chess match, not a transaction. Buyers, along with advisers, lawyers, and analysts, create a very different playing field. But with Deep Wealth, you will be ready. The program doesn’t necessarily mean selling fast; it means understanding your business’s true value and knowing when to say no.

Here are some eye-opening stats. Only 10% of business exits 'succeed,' and even then, many leave significant value for the buyer. Owners don't even know they're giving away tons of cash! When you prepare with Deep Wealth's system, you get the best deal possible. But wait, there’s more! You'll learn to find hidden gems in your company—the things that really boost its value.

Time and again, I hear, "I don't have time or money for this." But ignoring preparation costs you millions. You’ll end up asking yourself, “What is peace of mind worth?” Trust me. Getting full control of your financial future is worth far more.

Investing in Your Business Future

Think of the Deep Wealth Mastery Program as your 90-day full-throttle, business transformation experience. It’s not about simply learning; it’s about changing the way you look at your future, ensuring no missed opportunities. Remember this: unprepared sellers often lose, despite their smart and successful concepts.

Think mastering a program is pointless? William S., 30 years in business, said, "I've learned more than I ever thought possible. It's transformed our KPIs for the better." Whether you're a 3-year or 30-year veteran, growing or plateauing, Deep Wealth Mastery elevates your game.

But keep in mind, this program isn’t for everyone. It’s for those committed to winning, those ready to invest time into their futures to ensure they don’t leave millions on the table. The right preparation doesn't just yield more in business; it shapes you into a leader who achieves more in life.

Preparing for your business exit is not just about financial gain; it's about being wise. The opportunity won't wait for you to be ready. That's why, as Jeffrey always says, "Preparation is the gift that keeps on giving, but procrastination is the thief of everything."

So if you're serious about not just any deal but the best deal, join us on the path to mastering Wealth Mastery. Take action while your options are still open.
