KEY TAKEAWAYS
E2P for profit involves looking at your biggest cost centres and asking – how can I convert these into profit centres? Your stock could be wholesale to someone else and identifying how you can convert your cost centres into profit centres is key.
You have to have a champion; you have to make it a subsidiary business of the core business with a dedicated general manager who is its champion.
People should look at monthly recurring revenue, If you have monthly recurring revenue then the risk of you having to go out and find new customers is much less increasing the valuation. Ask the question – How can we turn static income into monthly recurring revenue (MRR) or (ARR) annual recurring revenue.
‘We need to take all of our assumptions about something and re-examine them from the ground up' It's about going back to the core.
Inversion thinking is about looking at all the things we don't want to happen so we can be sure we don't get to that place.
The combination of the first principles thinking and the inversion thinking brings a complete approach to any situation or challenge.
If you can sell profit centres that don't sacrifice your momentum you can have an unlimited amount of exits because you have an exit building machine, you figurately have a goose that is laying golden eggs, so why lose the momentum have multiple companies and continue to move forward successfully.
