Key Talking Points

  • This is part 2 of the interview with Stu McLaren. In this episode, we talk about an announcement that he just made the day before this interview, where he decided to sell his stake in his software business and go do something else. Now Wishlist Member is doing really well – it's a multiple 7-figures a year business and Stu still has a great relationship with his partners. So why sell his stake? It's an interesting story and I think there are valuable lessons in there for all types of entrepreneurs on the importance of focus and what that really means.
