How do you know when you get there, if you don’t know where you are going?

The team at Ready for Next knows it is easy to loose site of the forest when you are standing amongst the trees. Knowing what your personal and business goals are can help offer clarity on the path forward.

Our Owner Goals Identification, Clarification and Prioritization process works with owners to identify personal and business goals and prioritize the goals for achieving them. This process is extremely enlightening, especially for businesses with multiple partners as it allows others to better understand the driving forces.

Are you an exploring, pivoting or triggering business owner?

The entrepreneurial journey is far from linear. In our experience, when it comes to building enterprise value and transition planning, business owners fall on a spectrum from exploring to pivoting to triggering

exploring

5+ years until transition

exploring

Exploring options and possibilities is often the first step in any big decision. Increasing your understanding and knowledge about your business’ potential and how to grow its value is the crux of this part of your journey to achieve higher valuation and transition-readiness.

pivoting

18 months to 5 years to transition

pivoting

Pivoting owners are ready to invest in optimizing business value and achieving transition-readiness. Both are complex and require a trained professional to guide you on your journey. It is time to pivot into action and reach the next level of exceptional performance.

triggering

18 months or less

triggering

Change can happen quickly, triggering an owner into action. Sometimes owners are ready to transition but their businesses are not transition-ready. The reasons for rapidly accelerating the transition timeline are diverse. You require a professional to help you make the best decisions possible under the circumstances.
