We Live to Build How a Public Company Sabotaged My 8-Figure Business Sale
How a Public Company Sabotaged My 8-Figure Business Sale. In this interview, serial entrepreneur Cecil Robles shares the painful story of how he lost out on a fortune when selling his first eight-figure business. He details how the acquiring public company structured an "earnout" deal that made it impossible for him to hit his targets , essentially forcing him to walk away from millions and locking him into a multi-year non-compete. Cecil also reveals how he found a clever loophole in his non-compete to launch a new, wildly successful venture and explains his current business model of building an equity portfolio with the goal of owning a piece of 100 companies in the next five years.
