Q22: What makes Simple Mystery different?

Three things:

1. We've lived it. Michael has built, scaled, and exited multiple businesses across technology, healthcare, hospitality, and real estate. We don't advise from theory—we advise from experience.

2. We focus on readiness, not transactions. Most advisors only show up when you're ready to sell. We work with you long before that to ensure you're positioned for the best possible outcome.

3. We align all three legs of the stool. Personal, financial, and business readiness. If one leg is weak, the exit fails. We ensure all three are strong.

Q23: How do I get started?

Simple. Book a 30-minute discovery call.

On that call, we'll discuss:

• Your goals and timeline

• Where you are today across the three legs of the stool

• The biggest gaps and opportunities in your exit readiness

• Whether we're the right fit to work together

No pressure, no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

Q24: What if I'm not sure I'm ready to hire an advisor?

That's completely normal. Here's what we'd recommend:

• Subscribe to our newsletter — Get monthly insights on exit planning and M&A strategy

• Join the waitlist for The Exit Ready Podcast — Real founder stories and lessons learned

• Download our Exit Readiness Assessment — A free tool to evaluate where you stand today

• Read The Bottom Line — Michael's book on building business success regardless of where you started

These resources will help you determine if and when strategic advisory makes sense for your business. And when you're ready, we'll be here.
