    Building and Exiting Your Business: The Art of Seeing Your Business as a Product

    Building and Exiting Your Business: The Art of Seeing Your Business as a Product

    What if your business was not just a service, but a product? A product that has been meticulously designed and honed to increase its valuation and set the stage for a substantial monetization event. Join us as we unravel the importance of building a business with the end in mind, be it passing it on to the next generation or selling it for a significant figure. We share personal insights and experiences on the potential wealth creation possible with a solid exit strategy and the pitfalls of not having one.

    Imagine seeing your business as a brand that dominates its respective industry, a brand that is armed with assets such as a YouTube channel, podcast, or an email list. This episode explores the concept of treating your business as a product, and the roads towards increasing your business's valuation with strategic endorsements, awards, and content. We also delve into building a business with the intention of selling it - the importance of a clear exit strategy, the need for a team that ensures the business thrives, even in the absence of the owner. Tune in as we help you rethink your business strategy and guide you towards long-term success.

Aerosolized Gold

I randomly stumbled upon this podcast driving to work one day to in a job where I was treated like a resident and my life changed forever after it. It’s inspirational, practical, brilliant and truly is as good as aerosolized gold! I never in a million years would have thought anyone or anything could have inspired me this much to gain the confidence needed to become an entrepreneur. I don’t even recognize myself! I will always be grateful to you Dr Una. Can’t wait to apply for EntreMd.

Thank you

Your podcast was recommended to me by another physician friend who is becoming their own boss. I never imagined being my own boss and I am learning a new way to view my skill set and my potential. Thank you for sharing your talent and your gift.
