Are You Addressing The Most Important Questions

Preparing yourself and your company to one day deliver a euphoric exit requires regular monitoring of the most important questions you should be addressing. Let’s cut right to the chase and review what they are:

- - What do I want my personal legacy to be in this world?

- - Is my business my legacy or is it a means to achieving my legacy?

- - What do I want my business to achieve for me one day – how can my business make me euphoric when the day comes I exit it?

- - Do I have a strategic plan for moving my business from where it is today to where I want it to be in order to make me euphoric one day?

- - Do I know what I want to do each day when the time comes I no longer have my business?

- - Am I building a lifestyle or legacy business? (the difference will matter to an acquirer)

- - Do I have the right people on the bus with me – right people (their experience and drive) in the right roles with the right focus?

- Am I building a business that has a special sauce, a capability that makes us unique versus the competition?

Answering these questions isn’t a nice to have, they are a must have if you truly want to one day see your business getting you to a euphoric state. Use time as a friend to address each of these and by doing so, you’ll be giving your future self a wonderful future gift.
