Ironically, the best moment to leave is when your business is thriving. Your valuation is at its peak, your network is fresh, and your reputation is strong. Plan your exit carefully: have a backup income or a new business idea ready before you sell. Many entrepreneurs in 2025 are leveraging AI-driven analytics to time their sales perfectly or to package their businesses attractively for acquisition. Starting your next venture *before* you sell reduces risk and keeps your momentum going. Don’t wait for burnout or market downturns—strike while the iron is hot.
