Some key takeaways:

➡️ Building a successful and sellable business requires a strategic focus on team building, diversifying revenue streams, and planning an exit strategy.

➡️ A business' value to potential buyers is significantly enhanced by having robust systems, predictable cash flow, and a reliable team that ensures the business can thrive without the owner's constant involvement.

➡️ Hiring a Chief Operating Officer (COO) can be transformative for a growing business, bringing in essential skills in systemisation, compliance, and task completion that complement the vision and drive of the founders.
Some great moments:

✅ ”Only 18% of businesses ever get sold in the UK and despite how many get put up for sale, there are a number of reasons for that”

✅ ”My heart stopped at the edge of 42 for four and a half minutes, which is a pretty long time to hold your breath. ”

✅ ” If you have a good idea, if you haven't done something practical and measurable on it in 72 hours, bin it”
