"What would you do if your revenue dropped 75%? Would you give up or pivot and double down?
Today, we have an awesome conversation with Mike Spack, the founder of SPAC Solutions, a company renowned for its technologies aimed at reducing traffic congestion and fatalities. Despite growing SPAC Solutions into a multimillion-dollar global business, a 75% pandemic-induced revenue drop forced him to make challenging cuts, focusing on the company's most scalable aspects.
In this episode, Mike and I discuss how his strategic and thoughtful decision-making process was crucial for his company's survival, a seven-figure EBITDA, and eventual exit. His approach towards planning involved signing up with the Intentional Growth Academy™ and participating in 1-on-1 coaching calls. During these sessions, Mike really dug into his growth strategies and exit options before choosing a path forward.
Mike ultimately sold his business to an acquisition entrepreneur just a few months ago. He shares with us his play-by-play thought process, and why he made the choices he did along his anything-but-straight-line path to his exit.
Spack's story underlines the power of intentional growth and deliberate decision-making in the face of uncertainty. His story is incredibly valuable for anyone navigating unpredictable business landscapes and wondering what questions they should be asking to eventually achieve their goals and make owning and running the business 'worth it'."
