"""4 Books for Entrepreneurs Looking to Break the Mold - Your Multimillion-Dollar Exit covers preparing for ""unexpected"" exits (death and disability), leveraging a high-quality team to advance your exit strategy, reducing the tax hit from a sale or transfer, avoiding common pitfalls that erode business value, negotiating like an investment banker and more. By the end, you'll understand your business' potential value and have the tools to unlock it."" - ENTREPRENEUR Magazine (online) ""Your Multimillion-Dollar Exit is a must-read. It spells out what a businessperson needs to think about in terms of a successful business exit and life exit. The end goal being to pay the least taxes, to transfer the most wealth, and to continue the business the way you envision it."" -Bob Margolis, entrepreneur, Chief Executive Officer at TM Development ""Wayne Zell's newest book is a must-read for entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to be much more financially successful. I have known and worked with Wayne on financial matters for years and know firsthand that he is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, with proven results. Entrepreneurs who care about their financial future should pick up this book without hesitation and follow his expert advice."" -Arnold Punaro, Major General, USMC (Ret.), and CEO at The Punaro Group ""Wayne Zell has written a book for entrepreneurs about entrepreneurs who want to craft a thoughtful plan to exit their businesses and leave their legacies intact."" -Peter D. Aquino, Chairman and CEO at SeaChange International ""Having coached, trained, and lived the life of an entrepreneur for over 30 years, I certainly understand the challenges and fears that go with it. This book is a critical tool in every business owner's planning arsenal. You can learn the legal, practical, and real-world advice that is necessary for success through this book...or you can learn the hard way!"" -Rob Jolles, speaker, author, consultant, coach, and President at Jolles Associates, Inc."

"""I was delighted to learn Wayne was writing a book for entrepreneurs and, frankly, any businessperson about transitions and exits. I know that it's far too easy to focus on growing your business and deferring these critical issues. I've known Wayne for decades and worked with him on several company exits and now as a long-term client in estate and tax issues. I can't think of anyone who could be more valuable and insightful helping entrepreneurs to optimize results while protecting their families and legacy. He's the type of attorney I appreciate: a trusted advisor who says you ""should"" do this, not you ""could"" do this. This book should be at the top of your stack-it presents immediately applicable knowledge to numerous important aspects of your business and personal life."" - John Burton, entrepreneur and Co-Founder, Updata Ventures ""I had a small, tight-knit group of managers that were with me for most, if not all, the journey, over 25 years, and one partner who was with me almost from the beginning. He and I were the yin and yang managing the business, where I focused primarily on strategy, financial aspects, and technical aspects, and he focused on sales and human resources."" - David Eisner, entrepreneur, Former CEO and Founder of Dataprise, Inc. ""Too often, I find business owners who don't begin thinking about the consequences of selling their business until they are ready to exit. As Wayne illustrates in this book, that is extremely late in the game and puts the owner at a handicap trying to deal with structures and considerations that could've been codified years earlier while at the same time trying to be responsive to the pressures of transaction deadlines. Given Wayne's extensive experience, you should read Your Multimillion-Dollar Exit. It will provide you with the means to design a successful business exit that will greatly relieve your stress when that day comes."" - Phil Nolan, Former CEO, Stanley, Inc. ""Wayne Zell's newest book is a must read for entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to be much more financially successful. I have known and worked with Wayne on financial matters for years and know firsthand that he is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does, with proven results. Entrepreneurs who care about their financial future should pick up this book without hesitation and follow his expert advice."" - Arnold Punaro, Major General, USMC (Ret.), and CEO, The Punaro Group"
