As a business owner, you typically face two difficult choices:

  1. When to sell your business

Selling your business may seem far off into the future, but if exiting your business now would give you the financial resources to do whatever you want, it may be worth considering sooner than feels natural.

This eBook offers a simple methodology you can apply to reach financial independence – what we call The Freedom Point. You may be closer to a carefree life than you think.

  • How to determine if you’ve passed the Freedom Point.

  • A step-by-step process for calculating your Freedom Point.
