E1: Will Your Business Be Ready to Sell When You Are Ready to Exit?

This podcast is for you if you are the founder of a service based business whose product is expertise, which has stable revenue, and you understand who your best clients are; if you’re doing work you love, but have hit an earnings plateau and are looking for ways to work through it; if you want to build a business that can thrive into the future. 

This podcast is a place to get support, clarity, answers, and if you need it, permission to achieve a big, audacious goal, creating a business you’ll be able to sell someday.

I’m your host, Erin Austin, and I’m transitioning my business from a time-based one to a business that can run independently from me and be a saleable asset. We’ll focus on these issues from a woman’s perspective because exiting a business is a life-changing transition.

The life we want to create is the prize; money is the tool that helps us achieve it.


Our woman-to-woman conversations in Season 1 will feature award-winning experts and thought leaders in their field. 


In the Hourly To Exit podcast, we’ll cover:

  • Shifting into CEO mindset
  • The importance of strong position
  • Creating and owning assets
  • Education and fundamentals about selling a business
  • And much more!


Would your business be ready to sell if your biggest client called wanting to bring your function in house? 


What will your next chapter be? Will you be ready?
