In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about, “The best exit strategy for a business.”

To be clear, he's NOT going to be saying that you need to sell your business… or even HOW to sell your business.

Instead, he's going to tell you how to build your business so that it’s ready for you, the owner, to exit...

When you choose, that provides you with maximum income, and maximized freedom.

Every listener will have an opportunity to answer a very simple question that will tell them, right away, how free they are as a business owner.

For those that answer the question, Daran will be sharing what many, many other small business owners have said in response to this same simple question.

The results may surprise you, but then again, maybe they won’t!

Show Notes

In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about a couple ways to think about the highest level of personal and professional freedom for small business owners.

What he calls “the pinnacle of freedom.”

First, he’ll talk about a really BIG IDEA that was shared with the world in the 1940’s but remained relatively unknown for a couple of decades.

When it finally did get noticed by the business management world in the 1960's, it really took off and is now one of the most popular management theories printed in text books and taught in business management schools all over the world.

Next, Daran is going to talk about the Four Levels of Freedom for small business owners and how the pinnacle level of freedom, where every small business owner hopes to be some day, relates to the “BIG IDEA” just mentioned.

At the end of the show, listeners will have an opportunity to identify where they are on the Four Levels of Freedom, and also learn how they stack up against other small business owners.

In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about one of the biggest missed opportunities small business owners have to create much greater employee buy-in, engagement, and happiness.

That opportunity is... regular employee performance reviews.

Daran admits that for the first 15 years he was in business, he didn’t think employee reviews were all that important.

However, he realized later, when rebuilding his company in 2016, that the employee review process was a tremendous missed opportunity, and in this week’s episode, he's going to make that point very, very clear.

Additionally, he's going to share with his listeners the simple but effective employee review process that he created to make his team stronger, and helped him to realize greater personal and professional freedom as a small business owner.

Every listener will learn how to take advantage of a FREE GIFT that will allow them to implement their own employee performance review process that everyone will actually look forward to!

In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about how to make work more like “play” by working as much as possible on activities that fall within your “unique ability”.

By doing so, you will love the work you do and it will no longer feel like “work”.

In this way, your professional life will feel much more like “never working another day in your life!”

This is the maximization of both personal and professional FREEDOM.

He's looking forward to sharing how to achieve all of this personally, and as a small business owner.

In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be doing a debrief on the online course he just finished launching, “Dream Team” Builder.

Joining Daran for this discussion is one of the students in the course, Ben Weiss.

Ben is not an ordinary student. He’s created his own online course, and so can provide critical feedback on what worked and what didn’t as he moved through the modules and lessons in the course.

Ben has worked in a small business for many, many years, so he also understands the challenges that many small business owners are faced with.

It’s this unique perspective that Ben brings to the table that Daran will be tapping into as he and Ben debrief and talk about “Dream Team” Builder in retrospect.

If you missed participating in the “Dream Team” Builder course, or were on the fence about joining Daran for the next launch, you won’t want to miss this episode!
