The big secret is that in order to make it to the finish line, you must ‘sign on’ for all that are listed above. But, you probably knew that. Most of us do. So, what’s the big difference between you and other business owners? Well, you know they’re trolling in the same waters looking for someone to take over the reins and pay them a handsome price. You, however . . . you will choose to be the kind of person who follows the secret formula. You don’t just dream about it – you do the work to make it happen. And, the Playbook you are holding is part of the formula.

Now that you’ve read the book and you’re on the first page of building your own PlayBook, you’ll quickly recognize that by taking these steps you’re already separating yourself from the pack. (Note: it’s a big pack! 3.2 million business owners desire the same thing as you, and not all of them are going to find a new owner to realize that payout.) You are increasing the probability that you will obtain the future that you dream about – to be able to claim your wealth from your business.
We wrote this book so business owners will take action. To take effective action means to stop your daily routine, and take time out of your schedule to build the plan that will make your business saleable. Since we work with many business owners, we know that this part (moving from the comfort zone of the daily ‘to do’ list into uncertain territory) is a steep learning curve and it’s where the sand trap snags the best intentions. Generally, the learning curve is the biggest obstacle. You think you should know how to do this because you have been in business for years. But remember that making a business saleable is complicated and not the same as operating a business. You have to invest in learning the ‘what and the how’ of making your business saleable. This is why Fast Track Secrets for Making Your Business Saleable accompanies this PlayBook.
This Playbook is a roadmap that defines a series of actions that you need to take in order to win the game. We give you the questions that help you formulate your custom Playbook, but it is your candidness, persistence and willingness to get the right help when needed is what will help you execute the plan.
Put yourself on a regular schedule to build your Playbook by responding to the questions. It will take reflection time, research and input from people close to you, as well as guidance from advisors that you don’t yet know. It’s not something you sit down and complete in one sitting – you will need to keep motivating yourself to scale the learning curve. If you’re the self-motivated kind of person who can stick to schedules, change routines and thinking habits in order to make room for this new information, you will probably finish your playbook and not need additional support. If you know that your day carries you away from your priorities and best intentions, you may want to consider a subscription to www.MakeYourBusinessSaleable.com. By seizing the opportunity to extend your education by subscribing, you will receive monthly training regarding how to get your Playbook (and you!) in gear, and how to begin working on making your business more profitable, effective and less frustrating to operate. Partners and shareholders often schedule their weekly meetings to monitor the monthly training together and to work through the exercises. If you are a sole owner, the subscription site is a great way to set up a meeting with yourself (or, with a spouse or friend) to keep yourself on track.
