    S14 EPISODE 04: How to set your business up for a successful exit

    Ever wonder what it really takes to wrap up your business journey with a win? In this cozy chat, Shivani Gupta is pulling up a chair to share the honest truths of her own exit story. 🍃 In this episode, Shivani isn’t holding back. She’s giving us a peek into the top three insights that helped her seal the deal on her business exit:

    • It’s about focus, plain and simple. Shivani reminds us to keep a steady gaze on what matters most in our business. It’s like keeping the ball in play during a tense ping-pong match—don’t drop it before the game is won.
    • Then, she gets real about the numbers. Let’s talk about making the most of our profits and cutting down on costs without cutting corners. It’s not just about squeezing out profits; it’s about smart, sustainable growth.
    • Lastly, Shivani shares a personal reflection about the aftermath of a business sale, and why sticking around for an earn-out might not always be the golden ticket we expect.

    S14 EPISODE 01: NEW SEASON – A big welcome! The difference between process and end goals.

    Understanding the difference between end goals and process goals or routines can help you accelerate your results exponentially.

    End Goals:

    • Definition: End goals refer to the ultimate outcomes or achievements that a person aims to reach. They are the final objectives, the ‘destination’ you aim to arrive at after a certain period.
    • Characteristics:
      • Outcome-Oriented: They focus on the final result, such as winning a race, getting a job, or graduating with honours.
      • Long-Term Perspective: End goals often take longer to achieve and are set in the future.
      • Motivational: They provide a clear target to aim for, which can be motivating.


    Process Goals:

    • Definition: Process goals, on the other hand, are about the steps you take to reach your end goals. They focus on the actions and behaviours that you can control and manage on a daily basis.
    • Characteristics:
      • Action-Oriented: These goals are about the ‘journey’, focusing on the behaviours and strategies you adopt.
      • Ongoing: They are often set for shorter periods and can be repetitive or ongoing.
      • Controllable: You have more direct control over process goals, as they are about your actions and efforts.
