What is the Exit Strategy RoadMap?
The Basics
Whatever you want to achieve – you always ‘begin with the end in mind’. You start with a clear vision of the outcome you want before taking any action. Your business is no different.
One of the key questions you need to ask as a business owner is – “What is my Exit Strategy – what do I want from my business?”
You need to move from the coalface to the business face – spending more time working on your business by strategically developing and managing it – tactically executing what needs to be done and creating oustanding performance and results – and spending less time working in the business.
Your Exit Strategy RoadMap – will help you do just that.
Why Your Business May Need It
The last five years has seen uprecedented levels of uncertainty, challenges, and opportunities – a perfect storm of change. It’s been an endless rollercoaster of ups and downs – and there are more to come.
As a business owner you now need to be more entrepreneurial – spend less time working in the business and more time working on it.
You need to get away from the coal face and work on the business face. The old way of doing things needs to change – a reset of your business and how you do things needs to happen.
You’re probably wearing too many hats, trying to do too many things, not having enough time, and spending too much time working at the coal face.
You probably feel that you’re not really managing, controlling, or building your business.
There are 6 stages you need to achieve with your business:
1. Survival – 2. Recovery – 3. Profitability – 4. Growth – 5. Sustainability – 6. Exit Strategy
You need to establish which stage you have reached and what to do next.

- How much will it cost?
- Do you need extra or better equipment?
- Do you need a personal trainer to get fitter?
- Do you need to exercise more?
- Do you need a guide?
These are the questions you need to ask yourself about your business whatever stage you are at.
