THE TRAINING IS ORGANIZED INTO AN EASY-TO-DIGEST CURRICULUM BASED ON THE 5 INTENTIONAL GROWTH™ PRINCIPLES.

Principle #1 – Your Drivers. Develop a vision for what success looks like by identifying what drives you and how to identify what you want from your business. Get a better understanding of who you are, what you want from your business and why.

  • Overview of Your Drivers and Vision Wheel
  • The Intentional Growth™ Assessment
  • Identifying your stakeholders & what you want for them
  • Podcasts for Principle #1 - Your Drivers

Principle #2 – Financial Targets. Before you double down on your growth strategy, pick an exit option, and sell your business, you need to understand what your financial targets are and how much your business needs to be worth for you to hit your goals.

  • Overview of the three financial targets 1.) Target Income 2.) Net Worth 3.) Business Valuation
  • Enterprise vs equity value
  • Intrinsic vs transaction value and methods to value a business
  • EBITDA and Normalized EBITDA
  • Multiples of EBITDA and WACC (weighted average cost of capital)
  • Company specific risk and long-term value creation
  • Case Studies - WACC and enterprise vs equity
  • Case Studies - financial targets and net proceeds
  • Asset vs stock sale and typical deal structures
  • Net proceeds calculation and case study examples
  • Podcasts for Principles #2 - Financial Targets

Principle #3 – Exit options. Once you know what you want and what your financial targets are, you can look at multiple exit options through a lens that makes sense to you. Learn how to view exit plans from different angles to understand their impacts on valuation, timing and post-close relationships in order to fully evaluate their fit.

  • The importance of understanding the difference between your ownership and management roles
  • Exit Option #1 - Internal transfer / buyout

  • Value Driver #1 - A detailed and actionable strategic plan
