What’s your business worth?

Knowing what your business is worth, identifying how you can increase its value and mapping out a plan that allows you to achieve personal, financial and business goals allows you to move from being an owner with an income stream to an investor in your own future.

This month my husband and I will celebrate 20 years of marriage. 

I was 30 and my parents were 53 when I tied the knot.

I turned 50 in December. 

A lot happens in 20 years whether you plan for it or not. 

In addition to starting my business, getting my MBA, and becoming a CEPA, over the last 20 years I’ve lost my dad, watched my mom successfully battle cancer, and started the process of being an adult child to aging loved ones. 

Over the next 20 years, a lot of other things will happen - many of them wonderful, exciting and life affirming. At 73, my mom is moving into a new phase of her life and at 50, so am I.

• Retirement planning conversations feel a lot more relevant than they did a few years ago.

• I spend more time thinking about ‘what else’ I want to do with/in my life more than I worry about figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.  
• I look at what I want to learn and how I want to grow my business through the lens of what will make me happy while meeting my financial needs. And how can I be of service to others who’ve invested so much of themselves into building their own businesses. 
• I’m getting pickier about who I want to work, play and grow with, being more intentional about how and with whom I spend my time and energy.
• I’m interested in doing what I can to control what’s reasonable and let go of that which is out of my control.
• I believe money is a tool, knowledge is power and planning makes sense.

For me, becoming a certified exit planning advisor is a natural extension of being a strategic growth advisor. It means I can help my clients be focused and intentional about where they put their resources to get the best possible result for both near and long term results.

I help you make what feels (or felt) like far off decisions present-tense and relevant to the business decisions you’re making today. Understanding what your business is worth and how your business can become more valuable in the market increases the near term financial benefit to you and the choices you can make in the future.

• Increased business value increases the money available to make a greater number of choices.

• Having more choices gives you more control over your life. 
• Feeling more control over your life is the single most important factor impacting your happiness (according to the experts.)
