\"Exit Ready’s methodical, step-by-step approach transforms the daunting task of planning an exit into a predictable, value-maximizing process for any EOS company.”

—Gino Wickman
Author of Traction & Shine, Creator of EOS®

Are you maximizing the value of your company?

Every business owner, without exception, will eventually exit their business. It might be a carefully orchestrated exit, the culmination of years of planning. Or, it could be thrust upon you unexpectedly, a sudden turn forced by circumstances beyond your control. What will happen to you and the business you’ve painstakingly built when it's time to step away?

Authored by experienced entrepreneurs Tyler Smith and Kelly J. Carter, Exit Ready shows you how to elevate your already well-run EOSⓇ company into an organization that's primed for a smooth, successful, and highly profitable transition, whenever that time may come.

In Exit Ready, you’ll discover how to:

Implement the Step-by-Step Model so you can layer exit-focused thinking onto each of the Six Key ComponentsⓇ of EOS.
Utilize the Six1 Framework to coordinate your EOS efforts with your six trusted advisors.
Follow the Exit-Ready Process to systematically assess your current state of readiness, identify gaps, and implement necessary changes to become Exit-Ready.
Use the SxSE Exercises to implement every aspect of SxSE effectively and efficiently.

\n
Exit Ready is about creating options, not limiting them or merely preparing for a distant sale that may occur someday. It's time to make your business stronger, more resilient, more marketable, and, ultimately, more valuable.

Start cultivating your Exit Ready company today.\n
