Why did you open your business?
I am very sure you didn't open a business so that you could miss out on important family events, work through nights, no longer have weekends and completely lose sight of yourself. But it happened anyway, didn't it?
"If your business depends on you, then you don't own a business - you have a job.
And it's the worst job in the world, because you are working for a lunatic!"
Michael Gerber
Do you know what the worst part about this worst job is?
When you are so tired that you want to stop and you head to a business broker, thinking you can sell this creature that stole your life, you discover that all that hard work, all that blood, sweat and tears, all those sleepless nights and all of that sacrifice - all of that - is worth nothing.
You opened this business for a purpose. You were good at something. Unfortunately, that something doesn't necessarily mean you are also good at running a business!
The good news is that business-building is a skill that can be learned. It can constantly be improved upon and your job can become a business and that business can grow in value and be an asset worth owning.
It's all about building a business of value. Building a company that is worth something - whether you want to sell it or not!
Because if you decide to hang on to it instead of selling it, then the value you build belongs to you!
So your aim as a business owner, should be to daily build as much value as possible into your business. Whether it is for your present, your retirement or your children's inheritance - you want this business to be worth as much as is humanly possible!
We want to you to build a business that is worth something!
The very first thing we do, is have a meeting to discuss your why. We are going to find and define your purpose and your goals - personal and business goals!
Then, we are going to do a complete business assessment and valuation. We need to establish two things:
1. What your business is worth right now
2. What you want it to be worth!
When we know the answer to those two things, and we understand how your business runs and what drives you, we will be able to create an action plan for you to build your value.
The Value Action Plan is created in such a way that you can increase the worth of your business with or without our help, but if you do decide you would like us to be your value-building partners, then you can choose one of our Value Creation packages. You can read more about all of our advisory packages, here.
