Be brave, step forward, and take it one decision at a time. Never be afraid to admit that you want something better for yourself. The first step to freedom is telling yourself it's okay to dream bigger. The most valuable factor to alter when you strike out on your own is your mindset. You have to begin with the belief that you can make this happen if you want to. Before you teach anything, you need to have some kind of proven track record in that area. But this doesn't mean that you need to have spent more time in that area than people you wish to serve - you just need the results. BEST MOMENTS 'Even if it's a good job on paper, it's okay to want something more' 'I felt really passionate about it - it was like, game on!' 'We have to start believing that you're capable of making this happen' 'You need a 10% edge' VALUABLE RESOURCES Are you ready to create your high-value exit?

Nick presents an episode that looks at whether it is possible to flip businesses in the same way you would real estate. A topic that is especially interesting now. By 2030, most of the baby boomers will have reached retirement age, which could mean that a lot more businesses than normal will be up for sale, over the next few years. He compares the two investment models by explaining the pros, cons, and risks of flipping businesses and real estate.

You’ll get an instant PDF report with powerful insights specifically tailored to your business in just 4 minutes. https://highvalueexit.scoreapp.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Business flipping usually involves buying a company for a low price, enhancing it to quickly make it more valuable, then, selling it for a large profit. This is a model that is used for private equity investment. There is more risk with business flipping than there is with real estate. It is quite hard to sell a company. Only about 20% of businesses doing under 10 million in revenue will sell. But when you do succeed you can triple your return or more. As well as turnover, the people that run it, the processes, the structures, the quality of the customer base, the brand, and the culture, have an extremely high impact on the value of a business. If the founder leaving means key staff members or customers will leave too, the value of the business would fall. BEST MOMENTS  'You are trying to buy a business for the lowest possible price' 'In real estate, even the lower value properties sell' 'Due diligence does not have to be this huge, elongated process' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  ABOUT THE HOST  Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.

You can't stamp them out, but can learn how to defeat them and their toxicity. It's okay to enrage a narcissist if you have to. Don't ever fear the fury, because it manifests itself in childish ways - exhibitionist ways. Narcissists are adept at finding a way to push through their plans through a third party, thereby excusing themselves from blame and recourse. Narcissists have no empathy for other people, and cannot be cured or healed of this condition. They thrive on narcissist supply - adulation, prestige and possessions. BEST MOMENTS 'If you can learn to stand in your power then nobody can touch you' 'You're dealing with a two year old having a tantrum' 'Narcissists are always at their worst right before they're ready to give up' 'It is a disorder.

The system is now holding it up as a perfect example of why regulations matter. There is a genuine phenomenon these days, where real money is traded for unreal money so as to allow people to purchase goods that do not exist. Common sense is required.

People with high net worth incomes tend to lack the emotional attachment to money that many other do not. BEST MOMENTS  'The secret is to own your own business, sell it, and then never worry about money again' 'I came from an environment of scarcity' 'That's not something I would put my cash into' 'There has to be the least amount of structure possible to allow innovation and risk taking' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up with Nick Bradley: scaleup.vip/podcast Scale Up Your Business, coaching/consulting: https://suyb.global To download a free gift from Nick - The 5 Reasons Why Your Business Will Never Get To 8-Figures ... How To Fix It Fast! - https://www.scaleupmastermind.com/free-guide1 Are you ready to create your high-value exit?  Apply to work with us today at https://scaleup.vip/PredictableGrowthAssessment  Mark Drager - https://www.markdrager.com ABOUT THE HOST   Nick Bradley is a renowned entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and business growth expert.
