James Matheson: TEHL Advisors (part 2/2)

What About This Idea?

In this episode, the second half of our conversation with James Matheson gets personal, practical, and packed with lessons. Fresh from a sabbatical turned convertible road trip across the U.S., James talks about his transition from selling his IT business to helping others prepare their companies for sale.

We sip on a 2017 vintage port while James shares insider stories about the common mistakes entrepreneurs make when trying to sell their businesses—like the myth of the elusive "10x valuation." He also dives into the importance of clean financials, building systems that don't revolve around the owner, and starting the preparation years before selling.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or considering your next move, this episode is filled with actionable advice, humor, and a heartfelt perspective on what it really means to step away from something you’ve built. Tune in for a mix of wisdom, wine, and real talk!
