An exit strategy is something you need to be thinking about from the first days of building your business.

It sounds strange to say but if you're not beginning with the end in mind, you won't build your business to be sellable when and if the time comes. Today's guest, Randy Long, is a Certified Financial Planner, Exit Strategist, and has recently written a book about what it takes to successfully sell a business, "The Braveheart Exit."

Randy and I talk about the biggest mistakes business owners and entrepreneurs make when selling their business, why you need to build your business TO sell even if you don't think you'll be exiting it soon, and much more...

Build your business with an exit strategy from the beginning, even if you never think you'll sell it.

Why? It's pretty simple. First off, you don't know that you won't need to sell your business someday. It's better to be prepared than unprepared.

But second, and maybe more importantly, you want to structure your business in ways that give you maximum freedom. That means you'll create systems and add team members that enable you to get OUT of the processes of your business. That way you're experiencing the lifestyle freedom you want AND your business is ready to be sold and handed over to someone else should that time come.

This episode is about the long view - and it's a view that adds greater value to your life, the life of your team members, and the world.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

• Welcome and introduction to "The Braveheart Exit" with Randy Long; [0:31]
• Imagine you've created a great business and sell it for a big profit; [0:47]

• The one asset most bootstrapped businesses misunderstand; [6:08]
• What is EBITA? [7:35]
• How Randy and Dan first met through Genius Network; [9:00]
• Why you build a business TO sell even if you don't want to sell it; [10:05]
• The power and importance of building a customer/client list; [10:35]
• What is an earn-out? [14:30]
• One of the biggest success traps entrepreneurs and business owners make; [16:25]
• How to get help as your company grows; [18:47]
• The superpower that Randy's firm has in the industry; [20:16]
• They key processes newer companies should build from the beginning; [22:20]

Do you have trouble making connections? Do you feel awkward or uncertain of yourself when you are in a crowded room or event?

Today's episode is all about helping you get a break through in that area. Today's guest is Judy Robinett, an expert at making connections that not only build relationships but that also increase the level of value and influence you experience in life or business.

Judy's new book, "How To Become A Power Connector" is selling like hotcakes because she gives such simple tips for building meaningful connections. If you'll take the time to listen to this episode you'll walk away with some practical mindset shifts and tactics that will make you more of a power connector yourself.

Would you like to add value to the super influential people in your niche or industry?

Judy Robinett says that's the best way you can gain their ear and get on their radar so that you can begin building valuable relationships with those people. The good news is that anyone can add value to influencers because even they have needs.

The key is to learn about them, ask them questions, and find out what they need - and more importantly, how you can meet that need. It's a surefire way to get noticed by influencers and become an asset they won't soon forget.

These are just some of the things Judy shares on this episode of Growth to Freedom. You'll learn how to spot and avoid "bad actors," why you SHOULD talk to strangers, what it means to be memorable, and more. Judy delivers great value, as you would expect.

Would you like to know what I'd build into my business model if I had to start all over?

That's what a listener asked me in an email this past week.

It's not very complicated. In fact, it's really very simple. But you've got to take action and get it done if you want to be ready for the kind of growth you desire. On this episode I tell you the 3 things I'd build into my business model if I were starting all over. I also help you brainstorm the possibilities in each of those areas so you can get a clear picture of what I'm talking about.

There are 3 steps you need to take to put your business in a place where it can experience its greatest growth.

The first has to do with understanding yourself and your business. You've got to attain an absolute level of clarity about who you are and what you are providing. I call this "finding your magic." It's that special thing you do that clients or customers can't get anyplace else.

The second step is a mindset shift. You've got to come to an acceptance of the fact that the marketing landscape has changed. Gone are the days of one well placed ad exploding your business. Instead, you've got to take a new approach to marketing, which I unpack for you on this episode.

Finally, you need to adjust your thinking about only focusing on profit and personal success and start thinking about the transformational experiences you can provide your customers or clients. When you learn what it is you do and how you do it in a unique and life changing way, you've got something people will beat down your door to get.

That's it, 3 simple steps. But you've got to take action in order to see the growth that you want. Listen to this episode to find out how you can get my free resource package to help you get started.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

• Dan's welcome to you and the introduction to today's show; [0:33]
• First, define your magic. Ask the question, "What do I do in my business better than anyone else?" [2:40]
• What are the 3 things you deliver that clients can't get anywhere else? [3:22]
• Second, understand that traditional marketing is dead and what to do instead; [8:12]
• Consider creating a content model; [10:31]
• Third, focus on transformational experiences for your ideal client; [14:57]
• Take action: get your special resource package today; [19:14]

Would you like to transform your biggest frustrations into your best opportunities?

You can. I know it's possible because I am doing that very thing right now.

This past week I attended my quarterly session at Strategic Coach. Strategic Coach is an organization that helps me and many other entrepreneurs and business leaders sharpen our focus and stay on track to accomplish our goals. One of the tools the Strategic Coach team uses is called the Commitment Mindset Maximizer. It's a simple tool that uses a few carefully worded questions to dig into the areas where you need to make changes.

But more importantly, it helps you put a strategy in place so you can actually make those changes.

On this episode I walk you through the basic questions the Strategic Coach team uses - because I want YOU to be able to turn your biggest frustrations into your greatest opportunities. I want you to increase your productivity and success in every area of your life.

It's not easy but it's simple, and today's episode is going to give you a road map so that you can do it.

What would it be like if you could improve just 10% in each of these key areas: Mentally, Physically, Socially, Spiritually, Emotionally, Financially?

If you will set aside the time to work through the questions I highlight in this episode, you can chart the course to do it. Listen carefully as I unpack these ideas so that you not only understand what I'm talking about, but so that you can apply it directly to your situation.

Knowledge without application is empty, so take action on what you hear today.

If you do what I'm showing you, you'll be able to identify the things that give you energy and increases your momentum.

You'll be able to pinpoint what happens inside you when you experience that kind of energy.

You're going to locate the things that you need to say, "No" to so that you can get them off your plate.

And you'll be able to clearly see the obstacles that are holding you back and develop a strategy to turn those into opportunities.

This is one of the most practical episodes of Growth to Freedom yet, so roll up your sleeves, grab a pen and paper, and write down the action steps you need to take to turn your frustrations into opportunities.

Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn in this show:

• Dan's welcome to you and the introduction to today's show; [0:32]
• What Strategic Coach does for me; [2:13]
• Getting out of those obligations that have no commitment to them; [3:06]
• Why entrepreneurship is simply adding value; [4:29]
• How the commitment mindset maximizer helps you get real about your frustrations and strains; [10:16]
• What are the things that give you energy and momentum? [13:00]
• What does it do for you to get charged up in those ways? [14:19]
• Can you pick out the things you need to say "No" to? [15:16]
• What are the obstacles that keep you from delegating; [17:47]
• Put a strategy in place to overcome your obstacles; [18:20]

What if I told you that there are 3 main areas that you could improve that would make your life a masterpiece?

You might say that I'm crazy, but you would be wrong. Craig Ballantyne has discovered 3 specific areas that every person can address that will make them better in every area. It's true. The 3 words that define those areas are Control, Conquer, and Concentrate - and on this episode of Growth to Freedom Craig Ballantyne is going to unpack them for you.

As he does, look carefully at your own life - and be honest. Which of the rules that Craig shares is most difficult for you to swallow? Maybe that's the area you need to target first. This episode is not meant to give you more content, it's meant to help you make real change in your life. Take some time, listen, and take action with what you learn.

What keeps you from taking action on your number one priority in life?

Craig Ballantyne says that nothing has to keep you from accomplishing the most important things in your life. You can make it happen one small step at a time. The way he suggests you do it is by getting up 15 minutes earlier each morning so you can work on that one thing. Think about it. The house is quiet. Nobody to bother you. Your attention can be focused on that one thing.

And when you do that morning after morning, week after week, you begin to make progress. It's a sure fire way to accomplish the most important thing in your life. And it's simple.

That's just one strategy for making your life a masterpiece that Craig Ballantyne shares on this episode of Growth to Freedom. Be sure you listen, but more importantly, be sure you take action on what you learn. You don't need more content, you need more application.
