You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes.https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Many business owners use a magic hockey stick approach to valuation, indicating that upon their exit, the company will somehow produce record-beating results never seen before. The best way to demonstrate any success is to actually test the water. With 80% of all deals going to private equity, it's more important than ever that we understand how that universe works, in order to maximise our own potential. Business owners focus their entire energies on building their company. That same level of dedication is needed when it comes time to exit. Private equity firms rely on investment bankers to sell their companies, managing competitive tension and the entire process. These bankers possess exclusive insights unknown to the general public. BEST MOMENTS 'I buy them, I put them together and I build empires' 'Most private equity firms do a really bad job of laying out what the future will look like' 'Think of all the effort that goes into building your business. You need to put some effort into selling your business as well' 'Let me show you what I've built' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Nick presents the second part of a continuing mini series in which he breaks down one of the most crucial concepts you have to understand when building a successful business - breaking through business growth. In this second edition, Nick talks about the scale up phase following a business's creation, where you should aim when it comes to goal setting, and the difference between scaling and growing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Because of the rapidly changing pace of the world around us, we need to be more agile when it comes to finding ways to scale. Technological advances such as AI are disruptive tools that can aid us. Once you hit eight figures and have a reasonable level of profitability, you become very attractive to private equity firms. The key differentiator between growing and scaling - is the growth predictable, is it repeatable, and is it potentially sustainable? To qualify as a scale-up, you must conform to the following criteria: annual growth, turnover generating between £1m and £3m, and must have raised a million in capital to scale. BEST MOMENTS 'If you want to build something valuable, don't stick around too long' 'There are things that change, evolve, as the world evolves' 'My advice to you is to have a target of an eight figure threshold to punch through' 'If you have something that can repeat again and again, that's where you drive the highest levels of value' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes.https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS The leadership team that we put in place has to have room to grow, must have integrity, and the resources available to recruit the right people. The people at the top of your company need to know everything about what your company's message is and how it's disseminating it. If your CEO is unaware, then no one will know. You have to be at the centre of the pottery wheel of your business. Get rid of anything that's causing you to fall off balance and topple. When you are centred and clear on what's important, you shine differently and attract more opportunities for yourself and your business. BEST MOMENTS 'Necessity is bigger than goal setting' 'If you as the leader don't know where the ship is going, you'd better take some time to nail down your strategy' 'It's important to ask: does the leadership team have what it takes to grow?'

Nick presents the very first part of an all-new mini series in which he breaks down one of the most crucial concepts you have to understand when building a successful business - breaking through business growth. In this first edition, Nick talks about that all-important start up step, including the things you need to put in place at the very beginning. KEY TAKEAWAYS Even if you have not yet started your business growth journey, it's important to recognise the important steps along the way so that you can reverse engineer the outcomes in advance. In order to be successful when you start a company, you need product market fit - something that solves an identifiable, meaningful problem for the market you wish to serve. Before you get into lead generation, you have to have the offer correctly in place. You shouldn't move on to anything else in startup until this is done. You must be able to build some kind of repeatable, predictable sales model. Devise the formula that works independently of your input and your growth will begin exponentially. BEST MOMENTS 'I built my reputation on scaling up' 'Once you master start up you then move into scale up' 'You get to a point where you grow quickly because you have your offer dialled in' 'It's usually the founder who has to sell that vision and go out there and get those first few sales' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Dr. John Demartini, known as the "Godfather Of Personal Development", is a world-renowned human behaviour expert, with a four-decade body of work and studies into the human condition. He is also the author of several books designed to accelerate our thought potential, including his world-renowned system known as "The DeMartini Method", which the world's great thinkers have adopted in order to "create new perspectives and paradigms in thinking and feeling". Dr DeMartini joins Nick for a very special episode in which he shares the powerful story of how he became who he is today, the mission he's constantly on to empower people with knowledge and wisdom, and some practical tips that you can start using immediately in order to gain mastery over your own destiny. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes.https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Affirmations have the power to change us forever if we dedicate ourselves properly. In Dr Demartini's case, he was able to instil the idea that he could be a teacher and mentor, despite having no formal training, by repeating to himself that he was a genius, and that he could apply his wisdom. We live moment by moment, according to our set of inner values and priorities. When we align with the highest in this priority list, the action becomes almost automatic. It is in this area where we are the most effective and efficient. When we challenge ourselves we find out what we're truly capable of. Stepping outside of our comfort zone is where the best life lessons are learned. Many believe that fear is something to be shunned, but it's a tool that we can use to guide us to better outcomes. It's there to let us know when the objectives we're chasing are hollow ones. BEST MOMENTS 'The perception of loss of that which you seek, or the perception of gain of that which you try to avoid, generates voids that drive value' 'I am a genius and I apply my wisdom' 'I became wealthy because I delegated!' 'Fear is a feedback mechanism to let you know that you're pursuing something that's not objective, not congruent, and a bit of a fantasy' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Why is it that some businesses that are otherwise seen as valuable still aren't attracting sale bids from private equity? In this episode, Nick breaks down fifteen reasons why you might be being overlooked, and what you can do to turn your company into something far more attractive in order to make that life-changing exit. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need to have not just a high cash flow and profitable business, but also a sustainable growth story that you can tell to the world. If your business is one that attracts customers who visit but only buy once, then it becomes an inefficient business model. The desired situation would be to sell multiple times to the same customer. When you have a product that's unique, people will seek you out in order to gain your solution. By this token, you are immediately standing both for something and against something, which is attractive. Numbers aren't everything - culture matters more than you know. A company with massive cultural issues will be an instant turnoff for anyone looking to invest, as it means a wholesale restructuring and re-education initiative is required. BEST MOMENTS 'You don't make serious money when you run a business, but you do when you sell it' 'Growing is obvious. No one is going to buy a business that isn't growing' 'You need to start measuring the lifetime value of that client' 'You've got to have values' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

A mountain climber, adventurer and entrepreneur at heart, Brad Weimert developed his entrepreneurial and marketing spirit from rich life experiences. At the age of 20, Brad began breaking national sales records as the #1 sales representative in a company of more than 30,000 and continued to do so year after year. Brad joins Nick to talk about the ways in which we can channel the disciplines from all areas of life into success as an entrepreneur, and how, through discipline, anyone can make the transition to the life you've always wanted.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes.https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Never rest up when you hit your objective. Look for the next point you want to hit and plan accordingly. if you stand still, you stagnate. We should always assess what the absolute best and worst case scenarios will be when it comes to planning and goal setting, but we must be aware that neither of those will be very likely to happen. There's a general belief that entrepreneurs need to be good at everything, but that's not true. Focus on what you are good at, and let others bolster you in other areas. You have to decide for yourself what success looks like and feels like in order to hit the marks. If success means money then you can measure that on a chart. If success means getting things done, then you can measure that by the impact you make. BEST MOMENTS 'What you need to plan for is not the absolute worst, but the likely worst' 'Slow down, but don't stop' 'You have to spend the time thinking about how you're going to handle both success and failure in the future' 'I'm very good at falling on my face a lot of times before I learn the lesson' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Tracy Litt is a world-renowned spiritual advisor and mindset coach to visionary women leaders and entrepreneurs; a highly sought-after keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, and international best-selling author of 'Worthy Human'. In a conversation that centres not only on business but life itself, Nick and Tracy discuss the ways in which we c an reframe challenge in order to increase the learnings and move more swiftly towards our goals, and also the very physiological impacts of fear itself upon us. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you let fear paralyse you or force you into looking backwards, it can slow you down and stall any plans you have to reach your full potential. No matter what's happened to you in life, you can always reframe, reverse, turn things around, and even accelerate you towards the place you want to be. You have a higher self that only holds you in your full potential, only sees you in your wholeness, is complete love, full trust, and is the embodiment of the energy from which we all derived. Safe equals same to your internal wiring, which is why the unknown feels so scary until you understand it differently. BEST MOMENTS 'Imagine if you look at everything in life not as an obstacle, but something that serves you' 'When you understand your purpose and your passion, it's not work' 'We are going to change for generations to come' 'Your journey of ascension into becoming that higher self, will always happen.

After several high-profile business exits in the world of business, Nick examines the question of whether or not every business can be built to sell, and more importantly, should it be a part of the business's DNA from the very beginning? KEY TAKEAWAYS There is always a point in your business's life, when your strategy should be fundamentally about the exit. There is also a point in time when you should focus purely on building a great business above all else. At the start up phase, make sure you have a great understanding of the market - who your ideal customer is, and providing unique, remarkable solutions to their problems. Once the mindset shift has been made towards sale, the decisions you make will be dramatically more effective when it comes to value expansion. Companies may acquire others simply because they do not wish to compete against them in an emerging market. Sometimes they are merely hoping to acquire the talent, or gain geographic expansion. BEST MOMENTS 'You'd be surprised how many exits are reverse engineered with a clear buyer in the frame, months or even years out' 'In private equity we reverse engineer the outcome' 'There are lots of different ways that we can shape the story and the narrative' 'Every business can certainly be built to sell' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Lee Benson has more than 25 years of experience as a CEO. He owned and led Able Aerospace, then sold it for 9-figures to Textron Aviation. He also founded Execute to Win (ETW) to help senior leadership teams experience similar results by working better together at improving their organisation’s Most Important Number. But what is this, and how can it benefit you? In this episode, Nick meets Lee to discuss the nature of the Most Important Number, and how he empowers teams and leaders using his Mind Methodology, in order for them to be able to achieve and identify the work that drives that number. KEY TAKEAWAYS People create all of the value in your business, so they must be always held up as the most important component in your business's success. Companies always start with a few core people, but as we scale, we should always look for those who will provide us with the best chance for maximal growth. Whether shareholder value or net profit, it is always the job of the CEO to continually increase the value of any organisation. The perspective is what really matters when it comes to visualising the future and deciding strategy. The great leaders are able to see the future from the top to the bottom. BEST MOMENTS  'People are the most important part of the equation' 'The number drives the majority of the right behaviours' 'There really is one number that is that measure of value, and all other stuff feeds into it' 'We talk about the most important number, then we talk about drivers' VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Does having a board of advisors actually increase the value of your business? In this episode, Nick talks about whether or not having those added perspectives and a collective knowledge base actually can improve your business’ worth in the long term. KEY TAKEAWAYS At the start-up phase of business, it's often just you and the people you network with. Things begin to seriously change when coaches or mentors are brought in to help. As the business grows, it's valuable to have advanced help and guidance in order to help you shape your outcomes. This is the formation of a board. Boards provide a wide perspective during the strategic growth phase, allowing for a wealth of experience when you need it most. When you are in the journey from 7 to 8 figures, you need to build the board. When you break into 8 figures, you need a full board. BEST MOMENTS “As businesses evolve, you need more advanced help.” “You're actually starting to build a board the moment that mentors become involved.” “The boards are generally very effective, well engaged and well organised.” “There's a clear delineation between strategies created at the board.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it).

Be brave, step forward, and take it one decision at a time. Never be afraid to admit that you want something better for yourself. The first step to freedom is telling yourself it's okay to dream bigger. The most valuable factor to alter when you strike out on your own is your mindset. You have to begin with the belief that you can make this happen if you want to. Before you teach anything, you need to have some kind of proven track record in that area. But this doesn't mean that you need to have spent more time in that area than people you wish to serve - you just need the results. BEST MOMENTS 'Even if it's a good job on paper, it's okay to want something more' 'I felt really passionate about it - it was like, game on!'

Nick presents an episode that looks at whether it is possible to flip businesses in the same way you would real estate. A topic that is especially interesting now. By 2030, most of the baby boomers will have reached retirement age, which could mean that a lot more businesses than normal will be up for sale, over the next few years. He compares the two investment models by explaining the pros, cons, and risks of flipping businesses and real estate. Find out now if you’re building a high-value, exitable business (even if you have no immediate plans to sell it). You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Business flipping usually involves buying a company for a low price, enhancing it to quickly make it more valuable, then, selling it for a large profit. This is a model that is used for private equity investment. There is more risk with business flipping than there is with real estate. It is quite hard to sell a company. Only about 20% of businesses doing under 10 million in revenue will sell. But when you do succeed you can triple your return or more. As well as turnover, the people that run it, the processes, the structures, the quality of the customer base, the brand, and the culture, have an extremely high impact on the value of a business.

You can't stamp them out, but can learn how to defeat them and their toxicity. It's okay to enrage a narcissist if you have to. Don't ever fear the fury, because it manifests itself in childish ways - exhibitionist ways. Narcissists are adept at finding a way to push through their plans through a third party, thereby excusing themselves from blame and recourse. Narcissists have no empathy for other people, and cannot be cured or healed of this condition. They thrive on narcissist supply - adulation, prestige and possessions. BEST MOMENTS 'If you can learn to stand in your power then nobody can touch you' 'You're dealing with a two year old having a tantrum' 'Narcissists are always at their worst right before they're ready to give up' 'It is a disorder. It cannot be fixed. It cannot be healed' VALUABLE RESOURCES Join Leading Business Owners Scaling Their Companies to Create Generational Wealth, Freedom, and Impact.

Remove self-indulgence and really focus upon whether or not we're solving someone's problem with our product or service. If you spend your time on one thing that people want, love and will remember, then they will most certainly remember you! The greatest communicators and product builders and marketers are those who start with who they want to reach, and then focus on how to build a "bridge of familiarity" to them. Everybody hires people and then asks them to do the thing they they know how to do. We should encourage people to push themselves into areas they don't know as well. This grants all new perspective states.

Leads come from marketing or something you've put into the world. If they say yes to this action, then we must remember to nurture their experience from the beginning BEST MOMENTS 'Someone may not know who you are and what you do.

The system is now holding it up as a perfect example of why regulations matter. There is a genuine phenomenon these days, where real money is traded for unreal money so as to allow people to purchase goods that do not exist. Common sense is required. Entrepreneurial spirit is founded upon risk and innovation, but it must also be tempered by structure that allows regulation through which people may find security. People with high net worth incomes tend to lack the emotional attachment to money that many other do not. BEST MOMENTS  'The secret is to own your own business, sell it, and then never worry about money again' 'I came from an environment of scarcity' 'That's not something I would put my cash into' 'There has to be the least amount of structure possible to allow innovation and risk taking' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Mark Drager - https://www.markdrager.com ABOUT THE HOST   Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
