Dear
E-Myth
Reader,
Strategically speaking, doing the right things will add value to your business' bottom line. Focus on fundamentals and your
business will be more valuable and more resilient in challenging economic conditions. We invite you to
read the article Add Value To Your Business.
Owner's Roles
A small business owner is an investor and a CEO. Potential conflicts of interest exists between these two roles, one
wanting
a return on investment, and the other with a fiduciary responsibility to grow the business. The investor may be impatient
to pull money from the business, while the CEO needs capital to develop infrastructure. Recognize that these roles have
the same long-term objectives, and make strategic decisions that account for both perspectives.
Maximize Your Business' Value
E-Myth advocates documenting systems as one mechanism that will surely add value to your business. We also recommend
setting the long-term goal of increasing your business' bottom-line value. Higher valuation is dependent upon sustainable
profitability, and is well-served by strategic thinking.
Mechanisms that add value to your business include
Optimize The Owner's Investments
Optimize Revenues
Acquire Appropriate Debt
Systemize Your Operations
Minimize Expenses
Minimize Taxes
Expect The Unexpected
