Work in M&A. Have been involved in 500+ M&A deals and also sold a company. These are very good insights!

The author basically says this - but companies are not sold, they are bought.

Build a great business and focus on running a great business. Selling is just time in the market. If you're creating value, someone eventually will want to buy you (US centric mindset btw).
