The $720K Exit That Disappeared
Manage episode 505319695 series 1402157
"I'm not very good at success. That's something I learned as part of this."
Ben Knegendorf went from forklift operator at Walmart to selling his stake in an indoor golf business for $720,000. Then he watched most of it disappear through lifestyle creep, speculative investments, and financial ignorance. His second exit was different - and his brutal honesty about where the money went offers real lessons for entrepreneurs facing their first big payday.
