Do you know how to increase the value of your business?
It’s a simple enough question that I’ll ask one more time.
Do you know how to increase the value of your business?
Grow your business, sell it, or both, all roads lead to knowing how to increase the value of your business.
Put in another way, when you know how to increase the value of your business, you control your destiny.
Who am I, and how do I know?
I was that kid who started his eLearning company right out of school with no money, experience, or team.
I had no business being in business, and the results showed. My saving grace was my grit and passion, which kept me in the game long enough to experience success.
With success came attention to my business. In short order, I received an unsolicited 7-figure offer based on three times EBITDA.
The offer was from an experienced and sophisticated buyer who was like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Something didn’t feel right. I said “no” to the offer, and at the same time, said “yes” to mastering the art and science of selling a business.
Two years later, I said “yes” to a 9-figure offer based on 13-times EBITDA from a different buyer.
I increased the value of my business 10X even though it was the same company, people, and service.
What did I do, and how did I do it?

Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers – Seth Godin
Increase the value of your business through a diversified customer base.

Profit in business comes from repeat customers – W. Edwards Deming
Increase the value of your business by adopting a recurring revenue business model.
Read and prosper from “Why Your Business Models Sucks And What You Need To Do About It.”
Your future buyer wants to know that you’re not a one-hit-wonder.
The benefits of a recurring revenue business model or a subscription-based model are:
- Increase in cash flow.
- A predictable stream of cash flow that makes it easier to plan for your business.
- Increase in profits.
- Gives your buyer confidence that your business thrives after the sale.

Congratulations, you can now invest in your business to grow it with a high degree of certainty.

Say hello to higher profits, which in turn increases the value of your business.
A subscription-based model creates a win-win-win for everyone involved.
Your customers have a predictable expense. You enjoy a reliable cash flow and higher profits. Your future buyer has more certainty and confidence in your business.
The bottom line is the bottom line.
Increase the value of your business by adopting a recurring revenue business model.

Create A High Barrier To Entry Today So You Can Welcome A Higher Business Value Tomorrow
Dominate and prosper when you put your business in a league of its own – Jeffrey Feldberg
Put your business in a league of its own, so you can increase the value of your business to retire happy and wealthy.
Buyers place a high premium on businesses that have high barriers to entry.
Barriers to entry vary by industry and the type of business you operate.
When you do it right with barriers to entry, you’ll also create a market disruption.
Read and prosper from “Why You Need To Create Market Disruption To Lead, Succeed, And Prosper.”
A quick story.
My eLearning company enjoyed long-term contracts and revenue sharing with its customers.
The long-term contracts locked out my competition from stealing my customers. Revenue sharing was unheard of in my industry and challenging to get.
As a result, I enjoyed the holy grail of business: high predictability and profits.
The barriers to entry that I created were difficult to achieve and took time to create.
The results speak for themselves.
My future buyer later told me that if he couldn’t beat my company, he was better off buying it.
Create high barriers to entry today, and increase the value of your business tomorrow.
Increase The Value Of Your Business Through Massive Scalability
You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety – Abraham Maslow
The more scalable your business, the more you increase the value of your business.
Why is scalability important?
Your future buyer already knows what your company did yesterday and today.
What your future buyer wants to know is what your company can do tomorrow with more resources.
Most business owners start a business to create a lifestyle.
Your future buyer doesn’t want your lifestyle. Instead, your future buyer wants a profitable enterprise through a scalable business.
What makes your business scalable?
Your three to thrive are:
- Your business process uses technology and e-commerce systems
- A business model that scales
- A strong management team to grow your business
Most business owners make the fatal mistake of thinking they’re prepared to exit.
When you make this mistake, you jeopardize your exit and set yourself up to lose millions.
Scalability is both crucial for your exit and survival.
Having a business that scales positions you to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities.

Having a scalable business requires your business to do one thing. Most business owners never do this one thing to their detriment.
Do you know what this one thing is that helps increase the value of your business?
