What is the end game for your business?
Are you looking to sell it or just get to place where you spend more time working on the business (instead of in it).
Either way, it’s great to begin with the end in mind… in other words with an exit strategy in mind. It’s a smarter way to build a business - and not create a job. And our guest today: Kevin Waldron, has a unique approach to be able to do just that.
On this episode, Kevin shares 5 principles he calls “value drivers” that will help you structure your business so that it’s attractive to a potential buyer but also enables you to live the life of freedom you want, even if you don’t want to sell it.
