Shona Joy is profitable, in 32 countries, and closing after 26 years. Under one of the LinkedIn posts, two comments sat a few lines apart. One asked why not sell. The other said it was smart not to. They think they’re disagreeing, and they’re not, because the thing a buyer would have been buying was Shona herself, and Shona is the thing Shona is trying to step away from. Handing over the running of a business and the business not needing you are two different things, and that’s the part worth taking away.
