About Richard Shaull

Most entrepreneurs start their business for freedom. and it ends up owning them instead. I know that feeling too well. I played “Chief Everything Officer” in multiple businesses, and it nearly cost me my health, my family, and the company. That experience pushed me to figure out a third path: exit the day‑to‑day without selling the business you’ve spent your life building.This is the mission I\'m obsessed with: setting entrepreneurs free to be with family, start new companies and ultimately be who they were created to be. Today, my company Exit Without Selling, led by my Co-Author Luke Mardigian, helps $500K+ service business owners become optional in daily operations in 12–18 months, without selling, by building a Dream Team that runs the business profitably without them.As co‑founder of Exit Without Selling and co‑author (with Luke Mardigian) of the Amazon #1 bestseller “Exit Without Selling: Build a Dream Team, Keep Your Business and Get Your Life Back,” my work focuses on owners who:Over the last 7+ years, our team has-Worked with 300+ business owners across trades and professional services-Helped clients add an average of $117K in profit within 12 months-Helped owners get back 22 hours per week within six months on average-Placed 250+ Second‑in‑Commands / key leaders into small businessesI also am actively building a family of professional service companies on a mission to solve this problem in other ways. More to come on that in the days to come. Until then, if there\'s anything I can do to serve you as an entrepreneur or leader, feel free to connect with me and message me.
