What if you could shape the future of your business exactly as you desire? Imagine having clarity on what you truly want from your business and envisioning its trajectory even after you leave. Would you choose to maintain it as a thriving financial asset, allowing you to bask in the sun at the beach while escaping the daily grind? Or perhaps you adore the day-to-day operations but crave the freedom of being financially secure. If you find yourself unsure about how to navigate forward or explore the exit options available to you, then this podcast episode is an absolute must-listen.
Your future awaits, and the only thing missing is your decision on what that future looks like. Every business owner has their own hopes and dreams of the future, which is why Ryan Tansom, founder of Arkona, built his company. He helps business owners “Get clear on what they want their leadership role to be, and how they want it to evolve on the way toward your target equity valuation.” Once that is nailed down, business owners can “Clarify a target equity valuation they want at a point in the future as well as the income they want along the way.” When Ryan is involved in the Intentional Growth plan, it will “Save money and reduce conflict with any stakeholders (partners, investors, family members) by getting alignment on your long-term goals.” So why wait, let’s start planning your future.
Your future awaits, and the power to shape it lies within your hands. As a business owner, you hold unique hopes and dreams for what lies ahead.
