Episode notes

Hi, welcome to ValuationPodcast.com, a podcast and video series about all things related to business and valuation. My name is Melissa Gragg, and I'm a financial mediator and valuation expert in St. Louis, Missouri. We're speaking today with Mark Howley about small business success and exit strategies, and his passion is in talking about business, growing business, and public speaking. He also has a podcast that we'll talk about later, but today he's going to share his story about building a business with the exit in mind. And quite frankly, you guys hear me talking about this a lot - not only how do you grow a business, start a business, and market a business, but if you're not thinking about the end in mind, then I think we get distracted by the pretty logos and all of the fun social media. But quite frankly, there's really a process of starting a business - and then, how are you going to exit or monetize it at the end? Key Takeaways: 1. Build a Business You Understand Deeply Mark emphasized the dangers of chasing business ideas you don’t know.
