064: Trends in Business Growth and Exit

Episode Summary Adam and Steve Burton just returned from one of the biggest exit planning conferences in the country, and one concept came up over and over again: most business owners are building businesses that still depend entirely on them.  In this episode, Adam and Steve discuss what truly drives a business's value beyond just increasing revenue. They explain the idea of reaching a "freedom point," when the business no longer depends entirely on the owner, and how the right systems, leadership, and planning can help create more flexibility, stronger growth, and better long-term options.
