Marc Bautis

The #1 mistake entrepreneurs make is building a business that relies too heavily on them. So, when the time comes to sell, prospective buyers aren’t confident in the company’s future — whether it’s profitable or not. In this episode of The Agent of Wealth Podcast, Marc Bautis is joined by John Warrilow, the founder of The Value Builder System™, a practice management software for business advisors. His best-selling book Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You was recognized by both Fortune and Inc. as one of the best business books of 2011. Prior to founding The Value Builder System™, he started and exited four companies, including one acquired by a public company. 

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The basics of The Value Builder System™
  • How to identify your TVR (teachable, valuable, repeatable) to better scale your business.
  • Common mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to avoid them.
  • Warrilow’s take on the common question; When is the right time to sell?
  • What it means to reach the freedom point, and how you can determine if now is the time to tell your business.
  • And more!

This is the second installment of a two-part series for business owners. Listen to the first episode, “Maximizing the Value of Your Business Before Selling” with Michelle Seiler Tucker.
