As a thank you for being in the room, I’ve put together a short list of practical resources you can use right away. Nothing here is theory or fluff. These are the same tools and frameworks I use with owners when we’re pressure-testing a business through a buyer’s lens. Registration will remain open for two weeks. After that, the resources you’ve unlocked are yours to keep.

Slides

This is a PDF copy of the slides from today’s session. It’s designed as a visual reference, not a transcript. Use it to revisit the five value killers, remember the questions you wrote down, and keep the framework top of mind as you work back into your business.

Workbook

This workbook is where the real work happens. It mirrors the structure of the session and gives you space to write, think, and pressure-test your business honestly. If you only spend time with one resource from today, make it this one.

16 Value Boosters Whitepaper

This paper breaks down the core drivers that actually increase the value, sellability, and transferability of a business. These aren’t abstract concepts. They’re the specific levers buyers care about and the areas where small improvements can have outsized impact.

Exit Worthy Guidebook

The ExitWorthy Guidebook walks through how buyers think, where deals commonly break, and what owners can do ahead of time to avoid getting boxed into bad outcomes. It’s written to help you understand the process without turning it into a technical or overwhelming read.

$50 Credit Toward the ExitWorthy Assessment

You’ve already invested time and money to be here, so this credit is simply a way to recognize that. If you want an outside, buyer-lens look at your financials and how your business would likely be viewed in a sale, this credit comes straight off the assessment.
