In this episode, host Eric Bandholz, a seasoned entrepreneur, evaluates good and bad reasons to sell a business.

He says that ideally, founders build a business they love, one that enhances their lives. To Eric, business is one of life's greatest gifts, offering freedom, wealth, connection, and the ability to serve, create, and leave a lasting mark on the world.

He reminds us that our possessions — the headphones we use, the tools we carry, the art on our wall — exist because someone built them. Entrepreneurs shape society. That's the power of business.

This is Eric's fifth master class on entrepreneurship, following installments on hiring, branding, profit-building, and priority-setting.
