Win Charles’ Books. Hope and Life, my journey as a disabled woman living in a Non-Disabled world. Smile with Dictation
Recently I had the good fortune of being able to have a chat with the very talented Win Kelly Charles on the PODCAST Ask Win!
Unsurprisingly, the conversation got to the Exit part, where I asked what plans she had in place should she decide not to continue with her business and books etc.. She surprised herself by not being able to answer this! She had spent so much time setting up her business over the years, and more recently her Trust, that what should happen to it if she wasn’t around had not entered her mind as something in need of consideration. She assured me she will address this, pronto!
Podcast host, Win Kelly Charles, has Cerebral Palsy and her mission is to help others with physical and mental disabilities to find their voices through written or spoken word and using today’s assistive technologies as needed.

Had the absolute pleasure to do the first Facebook Live for the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show, with Annemarie Cross, discussing all things What Is Your Business Worth? A most interesting experience which all went rather smoothly thanks for the impressive skills of Annemarie on the control panel.
It was a good solid conversation about what Business Owners should be doing in their business that will actually be of value come exit and/or sale time. Many Business Owners are guilty of doing the activities they like to do and are even good at, as opposed to the ones that add the most value and need to be done.
My view is why be in business if you’re not planning to build it into an Asset?

Had the pleasure of talking to Jacki Mitchell of Taking Care of Business for rpp.fm and Lauren Clement about How to Add Value to Your Business, both in terms of personal branding and actual realistic business activities and initiatives, like finding out What your Business is Worth on a regular basis via an annual Appraisal. This enables far more informed decisions to be made when the time comes to make BIG life ones including what do I do with my business…
