John Warrillow is the Founder and President of The Value Builder System™, which offers an assessment tool to help business owners build value. He is also the Founder of VidGuide, a software that allows business owners to document SOPs using video. As an entrepreneur, author, and speaker, John hosts the Built To Sell Radio podcast and is the author of Built to Sell.  In this episode: Many businesses operate using the hub-and-spoke model, which relies on the founder to direct every company process. However, the operations fall apart when the owner needs to step away from the business. How can you separate yourself from your business? According to business value builder John Warrillow, entrepreneurs are too focused on growing revenue and don't consider the company's end goal. Founders should consistently work toward their eventual exit by building value and slowly offboarding themselves. This requires identifying your company's purpose and documenting systems and processes that promote that purpose. Well-documented systems increase value to potential buyers by relying on employees to execute operations rather than the founder.  In the latest episode of Systems Simplified, John Warrillow, the Founder and President of The Value Builder System™, joins Adi Klevit to discuss building business value for an eventual exit. John shares how systems documentation increases company value, VidGuide's video process documentation software, and how to determine your company's identity.

EPISODE 65: THIS WEEK'S GUEST - MIKE FINGERIn this episode, Mike highlights the three elements all small business owners should focus on when building a company for a future M&A exit: Are your business results desirable?  Will an acquirer see value and opportunity in what you have built? Can a buyer duplicate your results?  Can the buyer run the business without you? Can you document your results?  Is there a playbook written that can be followed once you are gone? GUEST BIO:Mike Finger is a serial entrepreneur and business advisor who's built and sold four companies.His first exit was not for the faint of heart and provided expensive lessons for the rest of his entrepreneurial career. Mike built his first company to 50 people, and after ten years of growth, he decided to sell. However, after several attempts to work out deals with multiple buyers, Mike's investment bank told him that his business was just not in a position to sell.Although this is something any decent investment bank or M&A Advisor should know before taking a company on as a client, Mike spent the next four years fixing the mistakes in his business and eventually sold the company. Resigned to not letting other small business owners go through his pain, today, Mike shares with us how to position small businesses for successful exits at Exit Oasis. We hope you enjoy the conversation with Mike Finger.WHERE TO FIND MIKE FINGER:LinkedIn

I advocate that all entrepreneurs should construct their businesses with the foresight that they might eventually consider selling them. I hold this viewpoint not because I assume that selling the business is everyone's ultimate objective, but because I firmly believe that adopting this perspective will lead to the development of robust processes and systems capable of enduring the test of time, regardless of your presence.   In reality, none of us can accurately predict the future, and in the unfortunate event that something were to happen to you or a crucial member of your business, would your enterprise be able to persevere? Establishing procedures and mechanisms that can ensure the continuous operation of your business is a prudent long-term strategy, and it might also make your business more appealing for potential buyers.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:17] This is the reason why you ought to construct your business with saleability in mind, regardless of your intentions to sell. [2:45] The essential components of a business that can be marketed. [4:08] I'd like to share my enduring vision [6:23] Discover approaches to divest portions of your business while retaining control of your core operations.   If you like this episode, check out: Questions to Ask Yourself as a CEO You Accomplished Your Goal.

I hold the belief that every business owner should construct their business with the perspective that it may eventually be sold. This perspective isn't rooted in the assumption that everyone necessarily aspires to sell their business. Rather, I firmly contend that adopting this mindset empowers you to establish enduring processes and systems, capable of enduring the test of time, regardless of your presence.   Ultimately, none of us can foresee the future, and in the event of unforeseen circumstances affecting you or a pivotal figure within your business, would your business continue to thrive? Erecting systems and procedures that facilitate the ongoing operation of your business not only augments its long-term vitality but also opens the door to the possibility of making it marketable, thus benefiting other businesses.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:17] Discover the rationale behind developing your business with sellability in mind, regardless of your intent to sell it. [2:45] Explore essential facets of a marketable business. [4:08] Gain insight into my long-term vision for Fitnancial Solutions.

Every single week we speak to studio owners who want to sell their studios, and if you listened to last week's episode you'll know that we also speak to brokers who are telling us that RIGHT NOW there are studios that no one wants to buy, no matter how much they drop the price.  It's a topic that is very close to our hearts, by the time Benny and I finally agreed to sell our studios it was right in the middle of COVID and our studios should have been worth six figures and come back with a zero-dollar valuation, they were worth nothing.  But we decided to give it our all, to make some changes and ended up selling BOTH studios, during covid for multi-six figures.  If you're thinking it might be time to sell OR you've been listening to our episodes and you agree that you've actually built yourself a JOB instead of a business this episode shares the exact things we did (and our clients do) to make them as valuable as possible.  You'll hear  What makes a studio a VALUABLE and DESIRABLE asset?  The things that make a studio worth MORE than others  Changes we had to implement to get a multi-six-figure offer  WANT MORE: To say thank you for listening to the pod we're offering a FREE GROWTH GAME PLAN for your gym or fitness studio, which you can book in here Find out more about working with Geronimo at thegeronimoacademy.com Want to follow along behind the scenes?

“Burned out business owners, burn down businesses” - Lauren Goldstein I brought Lauren Goldstein, Business Advisor & founder of Golden Key Partnership, onto this episode because one of the things that we both agree on is how easy it can be to get your business to where you think you want it to go, and then you realize you've built yourself into a little bit of like a bougie prison.

I believe that all business owners should build their business from the perspective that it will one day be sold. I do not hold this opinion because I think that it is everyone's goal to sell their business, but I do believe that approaching your business with this mindset will make you create processes and systems that will stand the test of time, with or without you.    At the end of the day, none of us can predict the future, and if something were to happen to you or someone critical in your business, would your business survive? Building systems and processes that would allow your business to continue operating will be better for the long-term health of your business, and ultimately may be sellable to help other businesses.   What you'll hear in this episode: [1:17] Here's why you should be building your business to be sellable, whether you plan to sell it or not. [2:45] These are some key aspects of a sellable business. [4:08] My vision for Fitnancial Solutions long term.

When we bring on a new client, one of the first actions is estimating the value of the business. What is the current fair market value of the business?We've talked many times about how important that number is in planning your eventual exit.In that process we consistently find that companies realizing consistency in strong financial performance, are those that have invested smartly in attracting the right people, but then also in developing their people.They've been intentional in setting a tone of continual learning and improvement as a key part of their culture, their employees end up being more motivated and empowered which results in higher levels of productivity, efficiency and profits.Employee development is key to increasing the value and sell-ability of your business and for success in your eventual exit.
