How to begin with the exit in mind

Duration: 27:16


🧾 Analytical Summary

A founder‑investor explains how to run a business for freedom and wealth: wear bifocals (CEO+CFO/CIO lenses), set a Best‑Before Date for you and your company, and multiply time (eliminate/automate/delegate) and money (use OPM) while decoupling income from hours.

👓 Bifocal management

  • Operate with CEO vision and CFO discipline; book recurring “money dates.”
  • Treat your company as an investment asset; target returns, not just revenue.

🗓️ Exit thinking early

  • Define your BBD: when/why you step back; your firm’s transfer path (sale, heirs, hold).
  • Align strategy to desired exit value.

⏱️ Multiply time

  • Rory Vaden’s focus funnel: eliminate → automate → delegate → schedule.
  • Protect the 4% of tasks that drive two‑thirds of results.

💶 Multiply money

  • Other people’s money/time (OPM/OPT) to scale returns.
  • Pay yourself (salary/dividends) and invest personally—aim for financial freedom, not cash hoarding.

Numbers literacy and explicit exit goals make better decisions. Systems and automation turn ambition into repeatable outcomes.

The playbook is clear; leaders will look for tooling (dashboards, cohort tracking) and advisory to operationalize it.
