She started her career as an accountant, but at the age of 25, with the initial goal of being a stay-at-home mom, April talked herself and her husband into buying one of her clients, which was a failing home health care company. The next 25 years is a remarkable story of perseverance and success where April built and sold three home health care businesses for more than $1.5 billion. \nApril's superpower comes from her early days as an accountant and her unwavering perseverance to follow her purpose, which allowed her to flip the home health care industry on its head. In our discussion, April shares how finding your purpose will drive your business success, why you should do due diligence on your buyer, and when to sell pieces of your business while rolling equity to take a second, third and fourth bite of the apple.\n\nEpisode Sponsor:\nThanks to DoerenMayhew for sponsoring this episode of the Cashing Out podcast!  DoerenMayhew is one of Forbes best tax and accounting firms in the United States.
