Careful planning by the owner will make a business more profitable and stable. Here the authors help business owners identify long-range goals for preserving the value of their companies, exchanging value for money, and integrating personal goals with business objectives.
Great book for the business owner who wants to build a business that's not only good today, but a business that has value when it comes time to retire and move on.
Bottom line... Build a process-based, customer-focused business with multiple, repeatable streams of revenue. Focus hard on making the business run without you, so when you're gone, it doesn't fall apart.
