Most advisors are building glorified jobs, not valuable assets. They work harder every year but their business becomes LESS valuable to potential buyers. Why? Because they're focusing on the wrong things.
In "Your Baby's Ugly," Justin Goodbread—who built and sold seven businesses for six to eight figures—reveals the uncomfortable truth about what really creates business value.
Drawing from over 30 years of experience and thousands of business valuations, Justin shows you exactly how to transform your business from a demanding job into a valuable asset that can run without you.
