  • What’s the Exit Plan? (Even If You Don’t Want to Sell Yet) S02 E09
    Oct 30 2025

    What happens to your business if you take three months off? If the answer makes you nervous, this episode is for you.

    Bev dives into what it really means to build a business that works without you at the centre of every decision. She explains why exit planning isn’t just for people looking to sell; it’s the blueprint for freedom, flexibility, and long-term value.

    You’ll discover how to calculate your own “Freedom Number,” design systems that keep the business running smoothly, and create genuine options for the future. Whether that’s stepping back, passing it on, or cashing out completely.

    Because true success isn’t just what your business earns. It’s what it gives you back - time, choice, and peace of mind.
