And the answer is always yes. It just depends on what's the price. And if you own a job, it's very difficult to sell. And the multiple is usually one or less. And if you don't know whether you own a job or you own a business, there's a really easy litmus test to find out.<br> Just don't show up for a few weeks. If your income stays the same or goes up, you're on a business. If it goes down, you own a job.</p> <p><img style="float: left;" src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/240215/best-business-brokers.jpg" alt="Robert Hirsch business broker from Freedom Factory" width="234" height="215">The good news is there's a lot of value to be created by taking people that own jobs and transition to them, to people that own businesses. And what I mean by someone that owns a business or a business that holds its shape, if you will, when you're not there, when you're not the primary entrepreneur, you have systems and processes and employees and team that makes sure that you generate as much value as you can. So let's jump into that. Let's jump into what that looks like. So again, if you're not sure if you own a business or you own a job, just don't show up for a couple of weeks. If your income stays the same or goes up, you own a business. If it's lower, you own a job.</p> <p>The good news. If you own a job, you can transition it to a business pretty easily. What you want to do is build your operations manual, your systems, your processes, and your team to get yourself out of the traditional workflow. So you're working on your business and not in it. If you need any help with processes like this, just give us a call at Freedom Factory. Thank you so much for watching.
