Why my business wasn't sellable
|
For over 20 years I ran a web marketing agency. My mentor, Perry Marshall, told me I need to have an Equity Mindset for my business, even if it's not a seven or eight-figure business. ✅ The leverage points most business owners never see ✅ The critical mindset shifts that separate successful exits from disasters ✅ How to raise capital without “selling your soul” ✅ The framework for maximizing value while staying in controlIf you want to build a business that sells for top dollar (instead of getting swallowed by investors), you don’t want to miss this.

I’m deep into Alastair Dryburgh’s The Pricing Genius, and he drops this military strategy bomb called the OODA Loop that completely changes how you think about pricing. OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Air Force Colonel John Boyd created it for fighter pilots making split-second decisions. Luckily, we don’t have to make many split-second business decisions in business that could be fatal. Here’s the genius part of the OODA Loop. Alastair shows how this combat framework transforms...
For years, I've left a lot of money on the table. I'd charge $5000 for a project while my competitors were charging $10,000, $20,000 and even $50,000 for similar projects.
