Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle
Business:Entrepreneurship
Can you make a life-changing decision based on assumptions that you pulled off the internet?
This question and many others are answered in today’s fascinating interview with two of Dan’s mentors and longtime friends, Carrie & Dave McKeegan.
They recently exited one of their businesses (they’re still running the other!) for 8-figures and they share the details of their process from deciding to sell, preparing for the sale, vetting acquirers, and what happens after. Hear how they spun up another business on the side and are maintaining the cash flow from that as they sit on the cash pile from the sale.
But perhaps their biggest accomplishment of them all is raising three thoughtful, curious kids while running their two incredible businesses and living all over the world in places like Bali, Costa Rica, Spain, and more.
