Watch these 23 minutes if you want to make serious money

[@johnbuckley1533]

Sensational education session James. After 25 years of being on repeat, I will be watching this one over and over. We set our business up with no intention to sell and I now see it was the biggest mistake we made. Thanks James, you are a champion.

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

As always, thanks John for the comment and support John!

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur thank you James, I have discussed this with my team, watched the video 4-5 times, and we in putting the missing components into our 5 year plan. I appreciate your generosity with your information.

[@realcorkdan]

one of the best videos i’ve seen on KZbin… i agree with the hiring of an accountant or financial house to sell your business

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

That's very kind of you to say! Thank you!

[@joeingram1]

Learned so much here - main takeaway is to start getting good at getting a business ready to sell

[@Andrew-rs6hl]

Sensational video, I agree most of the business preaching videos on KZbin are fluff, trying to sell you something or misguided ego trips. This is pure gold, and a must see for everyone.

[@Ben_conduit]

Most powerful video on KZbin right now to make some real money!! Thanks James 🙏🙏

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

Glad it was helpful!

Hey james, huge fan for the last few years. For that liquidity day, do you have to sell the business or just dispose of the business assets? This means you keep the company another few years and do it again to get the full 1m relief. Also can use your spouse for this relief to get double the relief

[@ryanwood1454]

Enlightening stuff, James. I've been following your content for years now, and have finally let my entrepreneurial spirit out of its cage. I'm 3 months in and already have a $35,000 ARR business. Without knowing it, you've played a big role in inspiring me and educating me on how to walk this path. So, first and foremost, thank you! Question: you're 20 years in and have yet to pull the trigger on a liquidity day, although of course you could do that at any time at this point. Am I correct in saying that you've consciously remained at the "Year 4" step of acquiring, acquiring, acquiring so that you can have a larger liquidity day? Are there extra steps in amending the plan in this way, or is it just continuing to acquire and scale for a larger pay day?

[@simeonquarrie]

This is a brilliant video. You’ve unlocked a different way of thinking for me. Thank you.

[@Ogbod127]

Agree with what you say about marketing in-house. But don’t scrimp on that: I see so many smaller companies expecting a marketing expert in websites, graphics, copywriting, advertising, PR, events, sales, social media management, email marketing etc - and offering little over minimum wage 🤦🏼‍♀️ IF you can find this unicorn person (clue: it’s highly unlikely to be someone who’s just left uni or has one or two years’ experience - and each of these marketing disciplines can be specialisms in their own right), they need to be paid in line with the value they bring.

Essentials business playbook - so well presented. TED talks would surely forgive the 3min overrun. This should be part of our national school curriculum.

[@mm3dgraphics]

I've always found the initial cashflow part the absolute hardest. I think it's due to lack of connections. When you're starting out with a small network, even with a great product it's so hard to sell and get the cash coming in sometimes. I think it's why 90% of people give up.

[@ossy2k3]

Fully agree. Been in family business for 15+ years. Have so many idea of my own, just not the cash flow to go out and do it

That's why you must ensure you have an SEO friendly website and presence on Google and whichever social platforms your target audience is on.

Brilliant and valuable as always James. Found your channel from your podcast. A video idea- which countries are best to set up a business in according to industry?

[@richhartessex]

Very inspirational and engaging presentation James. So much content, delivered so eloquently. I’ve run my service based business for 22 years and am only now realizing the harsh reality of what I’ve been doing wrong. That’s not to say I’ve not made a nice living whilst working in the business, but this video finally gives me the clarity I’ve been searching for - the answer to ‘where’s all this going?’ And ‘what should be my end game?’ Just really appreciated the whole video - nice work and thank you 🙏

[@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur]

Very kind words. Glad you liked it.

[@ClearmindstatlCoUk]

Great video, very helpful thanks. Just started a new business this year, basically helping tradespeople to get more customers, with our done for you services and soon online marketing training. I’ve started to build my team, and I don’t take a wage. We have predictable income and it’s growing every month. My goal is to sale it in 5 years when I’m 50. My question is should I be focusing on the marketing and sales or just sales? Thanks

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur I actually remember when you first started out and was an entertainer. I also saw you again at Marsh Farm, after not seeing you for many years.

Seriously useful video! I’m in the hiring process now trying to get my time back to 80% sales and deal making!

[@LukeStephenson]

Sounds like you're teeing up for a nice liquidity day soon James. Good luck with it if you are. I'm hoping for one this year too (my M&A team are putting the IM together right now). It is a shame that taxes are so high for holding onto a business. I'd love to hold onto mine and grow it, but I refuse to pay the higher rate of tax because its a rip-off, so I’ll be stuck on 50k per year unless I sell. Guessing you're in a similar situation. Hope your Mrs is in on the BADR too :)

Insanely valuable, thanks as always James. I need to come on your pod man!

A book I read a long time ago was The E-Myth: main principle being you treat an individual business as a franchise: working on the business, not in the business. I’m curious whether you’ve seen this model help you scale?

[@barandbeyond3763]

Actually the best video I’ve ever seen from you and the most amount of useful knowledge on a video I’ve ever watched

[@worcestersorcerer]

Thanks James, really useful and enjoyable video. The restaurant and care home examples you gave made a lot of sense. However, these are both service industries. What about a business that has a successful product that they produce. Is it still best to sell the business, or scale up production and license your product? Particularly for high tech products. Are the 'trade' margins different too?

Difficult to do that. You need some funds. Be frugal and nifty for sure but doing it with nothing is not something I advise. Low money in is the trick not no money.
