Launch Day – The Australian Business Exit Planner & Workbook

It’s launch day — and what a start.  After months of writing, refining, and (as always) editing down far more words than I meant to,  finally my new book is live:

The Australian Business Exit Planner & Workbook: Succession Planning for Wealth and Legacy.

And I couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. Within days of release, the workbook reached #6 in the Small Business Taxes category on Amazon Australia. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought a copy, shared it, and helped it find its way to the owners who need it most.

This workbook is for business owners who know, somewhere in the back of their mind, that they’ll exit their business one day — and who would rather plan for it than be forced into it. Everyone exits eventually. The time to plan is not the moment ill health or an unforeseen crisis makes the decision for you.

Inside, you’ll work through:

A full 4-part Diagnostic Toolkit
— the core questions I work through with owners in their very first consultation

How to recognise and reduce owner dependency
— the single biggest discount a buyer applies to a business

The difference between personal goodwill and enterprise goodwill
— and how to convert one into the other
Practical, step-by-step planning that moves you from intention to action

It’s a general version of the thinking I take clients through in personal consulttions — at a fraction of the cost of sitting down with an advisor.
