KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Knowing your why, your purpose, and what your business is there to achieve.

• Even if you love your business and love being there you should still build it in a way that ensures it can thrive even if you can´t be there.

• A business that relies on one person being there is weak because if anything happens to that person the business can easily collapse.

• Everyone´s lives evolve. Even someone who is a workaholic can end up not wanting to spend every hour working on their business.

• Work on your presence, and on how you show up. It has a huge impact on how effective a leader you can be.

• Get your proposition right. Package your product or service to appeal to and tempt more buyers.

• Prioritise effectively.

• Driving momentum is vital. David provides several practical ways to do that.

• If everything is focused on immediate-term, short-term income you won't be building any equity value in the business.

BEST MOMENTS

“Many business owners are feeling trapped in their businesses.”

“If things get too hard, the business owner potentially just gets frustrated because… things don't really move forward.”

“You've got to have a clear plan for your business that's easy to understand.”

“Having a mechanism for driving progress in the business that doesn't rely on you being the decision maker all of the time, is a crucial ingredient.”
