“More money wasn’t going to make my life better, but less money could certainly make it worse.”
― Scott Hanson, The Private Equity Advantage: Balancing Price, Terms, and Legacy When Selling Your Business

“Would you enjoy a meal with your future partners? That might sound overly casual, but it’s not. I had a strict “no jerks” rule. Life is too short to work with people you don’t like. Cultural fit isn’t fluff. It’s the foundation of a successful partnership. Trust your gut; you’ll be happier and fuller if you do.”
― Scott Hanson, The Private Equity Advantage: Balancing Price, Terms, and Legacy When Selling Your Business

“If you sell to private equity, you’re no longer a solo act. You’re joining a team. And the rules change. You don’t have the final say anymore. You have to deliver. You have to collaborate. And you have to be willing to let go of control in order to build something bigger. But if you can make that shift—if you’re humble, motivated, and open to learning—it can be the most rewarding move of your career.”
― Scott Hanson, The Private Equity Advantage: Balancing Price, Terms, and Legacy When Selling Your Business
