What ever happened to Groupon, Yahoo, Blockbuster, Kodak, MySpace, Toys “R” Us, Skype, GoPro, Sega and Atari?
Some of the world’s biggest brands missed billion-dollar opportunities, failed to adapt, or made decisions that changed their future forever.
In this episode of the Meaning Business Podcast, Bruce and Peter unpack the fascinating stories behind these iconic companies before exploring one of the biggest questions every business owner will eventually face:
When is the right time to sell your business?
The conversation begins with a real client whose business was valued at $2 million, only to receive an unexpected $10 million acquisition offer. Surprisingly, the owner turned it down.
Bruce and Peter discuss:
- Why business owners struggle to know when enough is enough
- Groupon’s decision to reject Google’s $6 billion offer
- Why Blockbuster said no to Netflix
- Businesses that became worth far more after refusing offers
- The psychology of greed, probability and decision-making
- Why luck plays a bigger role in business than many people realise
- How to know when it’s time to cash out and move on
Whether you’re building a business, preparing for an exit, or simply fascinated by famous business success and failure stories, this episode is packed with practical lessons that every entrepreneur can learn from.
