It’s about Your Business Potential, not Your Past Efforts

Last night, I watched a documentary on the 2004 Red Sox—a team that, after 86 years, made bold moves to secure a championship.
It reminded me of a key insight when valuing businesses: like a traded sports icon, your past efforts alone don’t drive investor interest.
Investors focus on future potential under their control.

It’s Not Just About Selling the Business

Ever thought about what would happen if life threw you an unexpected curveball?
I recently heard a story that hit me hard—a business owner who poured everything into his work until, one day, he couldn’t anymore.

Buy This Business – It Put the Kids Through School

I got to experience first-hand the ridiculous pitch a café owner made when it came time to sell her business and I wished to see her current financials.
Now her answer wasn’t so out of the ordinary. Often business owners have the incorrect conception of what makes their business attractive to someone else.

Now I can Whip Him

Imagine holding your competitor’s playbook and doing… nothing. That’s exactly what happened when General McClellan sat on Lee’s battle plans, letting a chance for victory slip through his fingers.
Today, business leaders hold the same power with Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).

Will your Business Trick or Treat?

Halloween is here, but for many business owners, it’s not all treats. I recently caught up with a friend whose business thrives, even while he enjoys an extended stay in Greece.
But did you know that 7 out of 10 profitable businesses are set up for a nasty trick? Years of hard work, sacrifices, and late nights… only to find their ‘reward’ nearly worthless when it’s time to cash out.
