Financial Freedom Podcast with Dr. Christopher H. Loo, MD-PhD ✅ How to Build an Exit Ready Business w/ Jim DuBos | Entrepreneur Strategy & Fulfillment
Ready to build an Exit Ready Business that gives you freedom, fulfillment, and long-term value?
In this episode, entrepreneur and M&A expert Jim DuBos breaks down the essential systems, strategies, and mindset shifts that turn a founder-dependent operation into a scale-ready, sellable asset.
Whether you're a coach, consultant, or B2B founder, you'll walk away with real insights on:
Why most entrepreneurs unknowingly trap themselves in businesses that aren’t owner-independent
How to build sustainable recurring revenue streams that increase valuation
How to plan your business exit strategy even if you don’t plan to sell
Why startup scaling starts with clarity, structure, and the right team—not just growth hacks
The overlooked link between entrepreneur fulfillment and scalable systems
The power of delegation in leadership and time audits to free yourself from the grind
Jim draws from his 35+ years of experience, 7 successful exits, and his book The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Fulfillment to help you answer big questions like:
👉 "What makes my business valuable?"
👉 "Could it run without me?"
👉 "Am I building a company—or just owning a job?"
If you're searching for guidance on startup exits, selling your company, or building effective business operations—this episode delivers wisdom, not fluff.
