Turning Fear into F.E.A.R.

In Solopreneur Solutions you will find a number of really useful articles there and you will find my article on page 19. You can find the magazine at:

CEO Shift Ezine is the creation of Kris Cavanaugh, C.E.O. Catalyst & Coach at Shift Inc.
Kris is a dynamic coach who really puts her clients’ needs first. After talking with Kris, it is impossible not to like her.

What is my business worth?
From time to time, we work with clients who are considering selling their business. Ultimately the question that comes up is:
How much is my business worth?
To be certain there are many factors that go into placing a valuation on a business.
The best recommendation I have for business owners is to analyze the value using a few methods to create a range of valuation. This will give you better information and will allow you to understand the valuation from a buyer’s perspective. I will detail a few methods here, but ultimately there is one principle that you should always keep in mind.
The true value of a business for sale is determined by what a buyer will pay.
I have seen many a business owner obtain a valuation for their business and then miss out on a sale opportunity because the buyers just were not there at the price and terms the owner was demanding. It is easy to think that your business is worth more than a buyer will. After all, you have put your heart and soul into your business and this is your baby.
Okay, so now for some good stuff!

A Life Lesson Learned
It seems lately we have had to deal with the reality of death. It is never fun to face the reality that we are mortal but it seems to happen to the best (and worst) of us.
