    EP2: Your Business Probably Isn’t Worth What You Think

    In this episode, I’m answering the question every business owner asks eventually: what is my business actually worth? I break down why most valuations are wrong, why different buyers can value the same company very differently, and the five key things that drive value: profit quality, customer concentration, owner dependency, growth, and clean financials. Because you don’t want to find out what your business is worth when it’s already too late to fix it.

    EP1: You Built the Business. Now Don’t Blow the Exit.

    After 300 episodes focused largely on business growth, I’m relaunching the podcast with a much sharper focus: helping business owners build wealth and prepare for the biggest financial transaction of their lives - selling their company. In this opening episode, I explain why I took an eight-month break, why I created Ideal Exit, and why so many owners leave exit planning far too late. Getting the exit right is where years of work are either protected or pissed away.

    EP 300: The Exit Blueprint Every Business Owner Should Study

    In this week’s podcast, In this new video, I sit down with Nigel Crane, a former chef who built an 8 figure exit by doing the complete opposite of what most entrepreneurs do. No hype. No luck. No overnight success. Just disciplined structure, a great product and margins that would shock most people in the food industry.  We unpack how he scaled quickly, structured the deal, and created real time freedom.

    296: 7 Strategies to Turn 7-Figure Revenue Into 7-Figure Profits

    On June 17th, 2012, I woke up in a hospital bed after a life-threatening accident. I had been in a coma. And in that fog, one brutal truth hit me square in the chest: If your business relies too much on you… ...you don’t really have a business. You’ve just built yourself another job. That wake-up call forced me to rethink everything. Within 12 months, I sold my company in a seven-figure exit. But here’s the thing: This isn’t about me. In my latest podcast episode, I reveal 7 strategies from 7 different entrepreneurs I’ve worked with, each one turning 7-figure revenue into 7-figure profits. These aren’t theories. These are real moves they made. Step-by-step. Replicable. And they work. If you’re serious about building a business that grows without chaining you to it… … then you need to hear this.

    295: Confessions of a Business Buyer

    If you want to scale faster and smarter, the Scale & Exit Masterclass shows how to structure your business for maximum growth and value. Go here to learn more: https://findyourleveragepoint.com/scale-and-exit Most business owners make a fatal mistake when it’s time to sell… They think buyers care about their revenue. Wrong! Buyers like Carl Allen care about profit, systems, customer concentration, and whether the business runs without you. And Carl should know. He’s a world-class entrepreneur, investor, and dealmaker who’s been involved in 330 acquisitions worth over $48 billion across 17 countries. He cut his teeth as a Wall Street investment banker, ran a $25 billion roll-up at Hewlett-Packard, and has personally bought more than 100 companies in the last 18 years. Now he’s revealing the truth from the buyer’s side: - The #1 factor that instantly makes your business more valuable - The hidden risks that scare buyers off - Why almost nobody gets 100% cash at closing (and what to expect instead) This isn’t theory. It’s the raw, unfiltered truth from someone who buys businesses for a living.
