If you share ownership in your business with other business co-owners, then ultimately your ability to exit is likely tied to their own ability to do the same.
Put two or more business co-owners together, and it is almost inevitable that they will have different exit goals. Goal incompatibility at exit comes in degrees. Some business co-owners have exit goals which are only partially or marginally conflicting. Others have exit goals which are fully and completely incompatible.
Business co-owners must address exit-goal differences when encountered and ultimately create alignment around their individual exit goals.
Without alignment, you and your co-owners may find yourselves rowing your mutually owned boat in different directions.
