Mike Rynchek is the founder of Spyder Trap, a digital marketing consulting agency. He sold it to Bright Health in 2017. He walks me through the history of Spyder Trap and how he transitioned the company for Bright Health’s use. He had to settle client relationships that didn’t fit into Bright’s new direction. Relationship is a big word for Mike. He spent most of his energy focusing on his company’s reputation. As well as building good working relationships with his clients.
We discuss how Mike scaled his business and how he prepared it for sale. He also stresses the importance of integrating your work into life, rather than trying to find a “balance.” It is a point that many people don’t consider when they examine their family/work life relationship.
Mike raises an interesting point about finding integration in your work and family life. There is a difference between integration and balance. Integration is ideal because balance is very unrealistic. Ask yourself what is important to you? How will those things change when you sell? Is that what you want? Ask all these questions and really self-examine yourself before you even consider selling your business.
