May 27, 2026Wealth, Exit & Legacy: Building Your Freedom Plan | The Profit Lab-Ep 15
You didn’t build a business just to stay on the treadmill forever. In Episode 15 of The Profit Lab, Marie Torossian (CPA and certified 10X Business Coach) breaks down Pillar 12—Wealth, Exit & Legacy—and shows you how to build a freedom plan that creates profit now, personal wealth later, and real options for the future.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why your business is a vehicle for wealth—not the destination
The 3 layers of a freedom plan: Profit Now, Wealth Later, and Exit/Transition
What “Profit Now” really requires (owner pay, healthy margins, and 3–6 months of reserves)
How to think in net worth—not just revenue—so your future isn’t dependent on your daily effort
How to make your business sellable (even if you never sell) with systems, predictable revenue, and a team that can operate without you

Profit Question of the Week:
If you wanted the option to exit your business 5 years from now, what would need to be true that isn’t true today?

Action Steps:
Review your current owner pay, profit margin, and cash reserves (don’t guess—look)
Decide your “freedom number” (what you need annually to live your ideal life)
Write down your preferred exit option: sell, keep with a team, merge/partner, or intentional wind-down
Pick one “sellable business” lever to improve this quarter: systems, client diversification, predictable revenue, or team independence

New episodes every Wednesday at 12:00 PM Eastern.
