Are you building a business that buyers actually want?

Adam and Steve Burton uncover what drives value and how to create a business that commands a premium price, whether or not you’re planning to sell today.

Together, they explore the 6 P Method: People, Product, Process, Proprietary, Patrons, and Profit, detailing how each factor can make or break your ability to scale, enjoy your life, and exit on your terms. Through real-world examples (like the rise and fall of Blockbuster, Kodak, and other once-thriving companies), they highlight the risks of staying stagnant and the rewards of future-focused leadership.

What you’ll learn:

• Why the right team unlocks both profit and freedom

• How to build diversified and sustainable revenue streams
