Are you intentional about scaling your business for exit?
So many organic business owners don’t have a plan and don’t know what the end goal is. If they did their loved ones would thank them so much more for doing things right when things passed onto them.
In this episode I speak with Rachel Murphy, a two-time exit founder, about her entrepreneurial journey and 8x multiplier exit.
Rachel gives insight into the importance of intentional business scaling, and the challenges and opportunities faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also emphasizes the need for better exit strategies and support services for business owners, particularly female founders. She is currently the founder of The Grafter, a business consultancy that helps professional services businesses grow, scale, and exit, maximizing their value in the process.
So there is a lot to learn from Rachel otherwise known as “The Legend”.
"I was really clear and intentional that it was going to be an in and out in five years." – Rachel Murphy
