XPX Long Island: Wealth Management Planning – How much do I really need?
Everyone can name multiple things they hold dear, but what matters most? The process of prioritizing what truly matters has been an eye-opening experience for numerous business owners and families. When forced to rank priorities, an owner may have to decide if spending more time with family outweighs maximizing profits in the business. Or weighing the feelings of control and recognition that come with business ownership against time—time to travel, volunteer, learn something new, or pursue other personal goals.
What does this prioritization process have to do with selling a business? Often, a well-structured sale can help an entrepreneur fulfill his top priorities. And, when the business owner recognizes how the deal will help her achieve what matters she is likelier to consummate the transaction with confidence.
In this session you will:
- Evaluate priorities and translate into a financial road map
- Unlock value for various time horizons
- Learn to make money meaningful, not just numbers
