The $1 Billion Business You Would Never Sell?

Hey Reader,

In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business.

A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later.

It is with the idea to personally get so much money out of the exit that you would never need to work again in your life.

When I talk to my clients, they always say that they don’t mind to work. It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like.

In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I would build the business that you would not sell for $1 billion?”

When that would mean you couldn’t have an exit where you could never do the same business again.

The idea behind the question is to focus on the business that you want to have. Not the business that you start just for the money.

I have this conversation with my clients when they start their One-Dad Business.

It is so exciting to see their change when they find the business they would never sell—because they love to help their clients so much.

This is the business they build for their lifetime.

When I asked myself that question, I came to The Present Provider.

I love business, and I love families.

There is nothing more fun for me than to talk business with dads.

Fathers building to provide with presence for their families.

That’s my joy.

This is what I want to share with my son growing up.

What’s your business that you would never sell for $1 billion?

    One thing that comes up in my coaching calls a lot is that people want to just create more content. The client wishes to work more on content.Content creation definitely has a lot of value.

It’s not a new trend.Everybody is only talking about themselves. The major question always is: What’s in it for me? That’s the main attitude most…

Sleeping through the night. Sitting up rested. No commitments during the day. Just whatever I want to do. Do you also wish for an easy life sometimes? It…

  • Is purpose just a wild goose chase?

    I’m fascinated by the pursuit of purpose. I have been trying to find my purpose for years. I spent hours journaling. Trying to figure out what I should do. I have felt all hyped up and sprint forward — only to feel all lost again a few months down the road. There seems to be a cultural obsession to finding your purpose, your big mission for your life. Yet in reality, it feels like a wild goose chase. The more you feel like you have found your purpose — the more it seems to slip away. The more…

  • Share the Scars, Not the Wounds

    When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…
