It was an enlightening conversation about how to get a business ready for a happy and successful outcome when the owner exits. Patrick shared that adopting Stephen Covey’s Habit 2: Begin with the End In Mind is something that business owners should think about at minimum five years out from their projected exit date, but what would be even better, is to form their business with that end in mind. We discussed some of the things business owners should consider when preparing for their exit, such as to: 1. Structure the company so that it thrives without them– Patrick called it owner independence 2. Know what value means to their business 3. Be able to identify the exit magic number In addition, we had an informative conversation about the additional considerations when the business is family owned as well as when it’s important to have a business valuation. There are many free resources available at Patrick’s website, NAVIX Consultants , be sure to take advantage of those. You can listen to our podcast on iTunes and purchase Patrick’s books on Amazon.
