Schedule your time to meet with David www.calendly.com/davidpf In this episode of the Weekly Wealth Podcast, host David, a certified financial planner, emphasizes the importance of business owners not neglecting their business as a major asset. He discusses how business owners often focus on increasing the value of their IRAs and brokerage accounts but overlook strategies to enhance the value of their business. David highlights three of the eight key drivers of company value: reducing the owner's direct involvement (hub and spoke), building recurring revenue, and maximizing growth potential. These strategies can help business owners sell their companies for higher multiples or make their business operations more profitable and less stressful. David introduces the Value Builder System, which he uses to help business owners assess and increase their company's value. He encourages listeners to take the Value Builder Score assessment, a tool that provides an evaluation of a business from a buyer's perspective, including scores on the eight key drivers of value. This episode provides practical advice for business owners looking to increase the profitability and sellability of their businesses, ultimately helping them achieve a better financial future.

What is the 'hub and spoke' factor, and how can business owners avoid becoming too essential to their business? How does recurring revenue benefit a business compared to one-time sales?
