Different growth objectives include:
- Increase the value of your business;
- Increase your top line revenue without increasing AUM;
- Increase profit (no one talks about profit – the most important variable);
- Get equity with your Dealer – i.e. increase your Net Worth;
- Reduce expenses;
- Monetize your business without leaving your business (put money in the bank);
- Etc.
Different strategies to achieve growth include:
- Adjust your Business Model – all models are not created equal;
