Jacqueline Snyder
About this episode

Welcome back Product Bosses! Have you ever gotten to a place where your business just doesn’t feel aligned anymore? In today’s heartfelt coaching session, I sit down with Alyse Steiner, the founder of TOSI Nursing Covers, who’s at a crossroads: should she sell her business or shut it down completely? What started as a passionate product born from her experience as a new mom has turned into something she’s now outgrowing—and Alyse is looking for a graceful way to move on.

We dig into what it really means to exit your business—whether it’s through selling your inventory, handing over the reins to a new owner, or simply closing the chapter with intention. I share insights from my own journey of closing and selling businesses and how to look at your business as an asset, not a failure. We also brainstorm strategies for finding a buyer and packaging up the business to sell it as a “business-in-a-box.”

If you’re feeling disconnected from your current business or are dreaming about what’s next, this episode is a must-listen. Learn how to let go with clarity and confidence—and maybe even use this moment as fuel for your next big idea.
