Business Ownership: The Joy. The Pain. The Truth. (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781734338621)

Your startup is your heart and soul. What happens when you have to walk away?

Hannah Paramore Breen started Paramore Digital in 2002 because "digital" was what she knew. The relationships she'd built over a lifetime and a career made her business possible. The lessons she learned from both her career and her family made it a success.

But in 2016, everything changed--and now it was time to exit the business she'd built from the pixels up.

Business Ownership: The Joy. The Pain. The Truth. is the story of Hannah's exit, and the lessons she learned as she handed her business over to new owners.

Learn how to you-proof your business

Hannah shares the lessons she learned over the life of her startup, and what it takes to prepare yourself and your company for a time when you're no longer a part of the day-to-day.

Written in the same engaging, fun, common-wisdom style as her Ambien Emails, Business Ownership will become a go-to source for inspiration, encouragement, and guidance as you grow and one day prepare to leave your business.

Start reading now to learn what it takes to exit gracefully.

From Hannah Paramore:

The question I've been asked most in the last three years is, "Why would you sell THAT business?" We were high-profile and successful by every measure, but I was miserable. Selling a business is hard, but deciding to sell the business is even harder. It is an emotional process caused by the painful journey of business ownership. I had a successful exit, but it could have been different if I'd done a few key things in the last five years that I owned it. This book explains my emotional journey and the key decisions I could have made that might have changed the outcome for me.
