What’s the significance of the number 100,800? That’s the approximate number of hours an entrepreneur works over their lifetime to get the venture up, running, and potentially sustainable.

Please tune in this week as Wayne once again explodes the myth of the traditional view of succession planning and relates what other writers and speakers consistently miss. He also opines on the latest trend of “exit planning” by asking the simple and logical question: “What happens to those left behind when the leader exits?” What are your thoughts?
