Build to Sell with JB

Welcome to another episode of Build to Sell with JB! Today, I’m joined by the incredible Vinnie Fisher—a former M&A attorney turned serial entrepreneur who has started, scaled, and exited multiple successful businesses. Vinnie’s insights on entrepreneurship, legacy-building, and creating businesses that are always “exit-ready” are a masterclass in leadership and long-term planning.

In this episode, Vinnie shares how his journey began in law before transitioning to entrepreneurship, driven by his appetite for calculated risks and a passion for building impactful businesses. We dive deep into what it takes to create a company that not only thrives but is also prepared for a seamless exit when the time is right.

Vinnie also opens up about his personal evolution—moving from a “hero” leadership style to one focused on multiplication and legacy. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to create a business that aligns with your personal values while being scalable, transferable, and ultimately sellable, this is the episode for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Why knowing your numbers is the most critical aspect of making your business exit-ready.
• The difference between building a company for sale and staging it for sale.
• How to assess your risk tolerance and decide if entrepreneurship is right for you.
• Why creating systems and processes isn’t just about efficiency but also about creating a transferable business.
