Sophiall Free Resources
I always like to ask business owners why they started their business?
What drove them to make the sacrifices and take the risks?
I started mine because I wanted two things:
The FREEDOM
To create and run a business the way I always wanted. Building valuable long-term relationships with the customers I want. Instilling a culture of empowering and treating employees with dignity. Ultimately, working when and where I want.
The FULL RETURN
For the time, money and sacrifices I made to conceive, grow and ultimately sell the business. No more putting up with a boss or office politics.
How about you? What drives you as an entrepreneur?
Why do we help owners build valuable and independent companies?
Because it's WRONG to spend the years and make the sacrifices to build a profitable business, only to get nothing or little in return when you look to sell.
The statistics are sobering:
Stop Sacrificing your Time and Start Building your Future
