Definition: A Perfect Storm is an expression that describes an event where a rare
combination of circumstances will aggravate a situation drastically!
Ingredients:
1- Your business is probably your most valuable/vulnerable asset you own. It’s also an
illiquid asset!
2- Just like the game “Musical Chairs”, one day your business will stop for reasons
known/unknown and at a time that’s difficult to predict!
3- The post-exit environment is usually a place where expenses and debt are high and
income and cash flow are less. (even scarce!)
4- As successful business owners, we all have a blind spot. We also use generalizations,
distortions, and deletions to move forward every day in our hectic world of business. This
is both a blessing and a curse. Change has also increased the frequency and severity of
the business exit event.
Through proper planning and action, we can:
1-Increase the value and cash flow of the business by effective business modeling and
marketing. Effective acquisitions are also a great way, economically to grow nonorganically.
2-Unlock the value of the business by creating an effective Exit Strategy that optimizes
and safeguards the value for you, your family, and the business when the time
comes for any trigger.
3- Prepare for life after exiting both financially and for non-financial considerations that
meet you and your family’s short-term/long-term needs.
The best time to start this planning is the first day you open your business. The next
very best time is right now! Begin now by contacting me for a complimentary

storm!
