by theEmother | Apr 29, 2013 | Consultant EXIT Options, EXIT execution, exit strategy, Finish Unfinished Business, Sell Your Business, SELL your Mother of a Business, Sellability Score, the business model
Another day, another conversation with a Consultant who, when starting to explore Exit Strategy options, realises what they thought will be Saleable is not. Well, not in its current form anyway.
So, once the wind had been knocked out of their sails, they began to ponder what the hell to do next?
The first reaction was generally anger. Annoyed that what they thought they’d bought into with the whole start-your-own-business thing was in fact a crock!
A crock in so far as, having been sold the live-the-dream business model, to only be reminded that this model is really just a different version of a job.
Doing a diagnostic like the “Sellability Score” certainly helps to map out what’s current and raises the questions re what to do next.
But in order for this process to be most effective, time is of the essence. If you’re a Consultant and you want an Asset to sell once you’re done with it… Start Planning and Restructuring NOW.
If you want to talk further about this, feel free to call me.

by theEmother | Apr 2, 2013 | build a Mother of a Business, business ideas & thinking, Buy a Mother of a Business, Consultant EXIT Options, EXIT execution, exit strategy, Finish Unfinished Business, Sell Your Business, SELL your Mother of a Business, the business model
Are you a Consultant?
Are you currently working as an independent practitioner?
Is this how you see the rest of your working life playing out?
Have you given any thought to your Exit Strategy?
Have you even wondered whether you could have one?
Are you saying to yourself “what have I got to sell anyway?”
Time we had a chat…
I’m currently working with “colleagues” developing different business models that will enable a fair and equitable option for Consultants.
Especially those who understand they have value in what they do, in what they’ve done but have NO idea how to extract it post them, other than a potential trade sale, which will not glean much if it’s solely reliant on the one person, as you know!
Happy to explore the options, as appropriate… you just need to contact me.
