So, what\u2019s next? First, <em>12 Months to $1 Million<\/em> by Ryan Moran writes that you can start paying yourself. Up until this point, you\u2019ve been working hard and reinvesting your profit into growing your business. Moran suggests you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/pay-yourself-first-rich-dad-poor-dad\/\">pay yourself<\/a> enough to work on your business full-time until you decide to scale or sell your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Different experts offer different advice on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdwallet.com\/article\/small-business\/how-to-pay-yourself-as-a-business-owner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when you should start paying yourself<\/a> from your business income. While Moran suggests you wait until you reach the million-dollar mark, others write you can pay yourself sooner, as long as your business is stable and you have a good understanding of your business\u2019s cash flow. When you do decide to pay yourself, you can either give yourself a regular salary or an owner\u2019s draw, which is money you take out of your business on a regular basis or when needed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, <strong>you have two options for what to do with your business<\/strong>: you can keep growing it or to sell it to another company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-hard-thing-about-hard-things\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Hard Thing About Hard Things<\/em><\/a>, Ben Horowitz presents <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-hard-thing-about-hard-things\/chapters-7-8#should-you-sell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two questions<\/a> you can ask yourself to decide whether or not to sell your company. First, ask yourself if the market you&#8217;re in is larger than anyone realizes. Second, ask yourself if your company has a chance of being the top business in that market. If you answer \u201cyes\u201d to both, Horowitz advises you to stay independent. Otherwise, you risk selling your company for less than what it\u2019s worth.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to keep growing your business, you should focus on transforming it from a sales machine that depends on your constant involvement to a sustainable business that can operate without you. To do this, Moran suggests you reinvest your profits in advertising your brand, creating content, improving logistics, and hiring team members. This frees up your time and energy so that you can focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/expand-your-businesss\/\">expanding your business<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Although Moran says that you should build a business that can run without you, in <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-100-startup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The $100 Startup<\/em><\/a>, Chris Guillebeau states that you may want to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-100-startup#3-determine-how-much-you-want-to-expand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stay involved and keep your company small<\/a> if you care about stability and freedom over making money. You can also consider a mid-sized model to reach wider audiences without sacrificing ownership.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to sell your business, Moran suggests you focus on your long-term goals. You\u2019ll likely retain a minority stake in your business and receive payments based on how well it performs, so he advises that you don\u2019t settle for a quick payout and sell your business to someone who will treat it poorly. Instead, find a buyer you trust and are willing to work with. By selling it to someone who\u2019ll treat your business well, you ensure that your business thrives and that you\u2019ll continue to reap the rewards of your hard work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: If you\u2019re concerned with how to put your business into good hands, you can consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/built-to-sell#step-5-find-the-right-company-to-help-sell-your-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">finding a professional adviser<\/a> to help you sell your business. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/built-to-sell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Built to Sell<\/em><\/a>, John Warrillow provides several tips for finding the right firms to aid you in this process: First, consider the size of your business. If it makes under $2 million annually, Warrillow suggests using a business broker. If it makes over $2 million, consider a merger and acquisition firm instead. Next, ensure that your adviser is familiar with your business\u2019s industry, as this allows them to accurately recognize the value of your company.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should you scale or sell your business?
