We get into four powerful lessons from an investor’s perspective on building a business that’s both profitable and truly valuable. We break down why tracking profit per hour matters more than just chasing revenue, how to create a company that’s saleable as well as profitable, and the biggest misconceptions business owners have about their business’s worth. Plus, we share practical steps to systemise, scale, and build a business you don’t want to sell, all while making sure it’s worth top dollar if you ever do.
