Avoid That Toxic Relationship in your IFA Exit

July 04, 2019


You’ve probably met people like this before…

People that are so desperate for a relationship that when they finally get one, they think their new partner can do no wrong…

They meet a guy or a girl, and literally worship the ground they walk on…

They idolise them in every way and consider themselves lucky that they have this person…

No harm in that I hear you say…

But the problem is…

When you consistently put someone on a pedestal, you leave him or her with no choice but to look down on you…

That is human nature!  

It may not happen straight away…

It could take weeks, months or even years…

…But eventually, they will start treating you like they are better than you are!

And you won’t be able to blame them, because it is what you led them to believe!

And this isn’t just exclusive to the dating world…

…The same applies to you and your exit strategy!

Of course, you want to pick the most desirable acquirer for your IFA Business and it should absolutely be your choice who you choose to hand over your life’s work to…

…And it should always be on your terms!

But it is impossible to enforce those terms on an acquirer who thinks they are more desirable than you are…

…Chances are they will leave you the moment a superior opportunity comes along, because they believe they deserve a higher level of opportunity, than that of which you placed them on!

...You get treated with little respect and made to bend over backwards to meet their demands!
