“Your team decides what your business is worth. Co-author of The Business That Owns You on exit value, wealth and owner independence.”
If you run a $1 to $25 million revenue business, there’s a good chance that you make a great income and, simultaneously, would have a hard time selling your business for what you think it should be sold for. A lot of the time that comes back to your team’s ability to execute. Either they don’t know where the company is going and what all of it is for, or they know and aren’t aligned to it and aren’t executing to it. So the business that they run looks a lot different from the one that you have pictured in your head.
I’m a partner at Big Life Financial, a fractional family office for seven- and eight-figure founders, and at Fielding Global, a boutique investment bank. I talk about how owners get their team executing the vision so the business becomes the wealth asset that they expect it to be.
My business partner, Rob J. Williams, and I wrote a book called The Business That Owns You: The Five Keys to Taking It Back, with a foreword by Loral Langemeier.
I’ve been on nearly 50 podcasts and 60 stages, and every host who books an episode gets a free copy of the book.
Most founders build income, not generational wealth. Justin Maxwell speaks on the behaviors that close that gap.
