Ep #003: Creating a More Efficient Business Through Proper Exit Planning

Many people believe that having a business exit strategy in place will only help them if they plan on leaving their business in the coming years. However, creating an exit strategy can actually help your business become inherently more efficient because you put systems in place, delegate more and start to document all your processes. So, in this episode, Tom will be sharing what exactly an exit strategy might entail and how you can implement some of these processes into your business today.

Listen in as he explains the three things all owners must address to successfully transition their businesses, as well as the benefit of getting a market evaluation of your business. You will learn how to identify the gaps in your business so you can make things run more efficiently, the importance of knowing what you want to do with your time once you exit and why you should always write your plans down.
