Exit Strategies for Entrepreneurial Success.

Ed Johnson successfully built and sold his first company, Pushfar, and within two weeks was back in the chair with his new venture uRoutine.

Ed shared valuable insights into the importance of planning for an exit before starting a business, emphasizing that without a clear exit strategy, entrepreneurs risk having their business own them.

How to apply these to your business.

Embrace flexibility and adaptability in your business model to align with market needs.

• Engage with potential customers early: Actively seek feedback during the development phase to understand what your target audience truly values. This will allow you to pivot your offerings based on real demand rather than assumptions, ensuring that your product or service resonates with users.
• Focus on building brand awareness through content: Create valuable and engaging content that addresses the interests of your audience. This not only enhances your visibility but also establishes your authority in the market, making it easier to attract and retain customers.
• Be open to change: Recognise that your initial vision may need to evolve as you gather insights from your audience and the market. By being willing to adapt your business model or focus, you can uncover new revenue streams and opportunities for growth that align with customer needs.
