Building a business can be confusing for entrepreneurs. How can you know exactly the right moves to make at your stage? If you could reimagine your business to achieve greater success in less time, would you?

According to Jodie Cook, you can have the financial freedom and time you desire. She crafted the Ten Year Career framework's four pillars to scale and exit your business: execute, systemize, scrutinize and exit. Being able to see your business as a product — to take a step back and see it from a different perspective — can help you move forward during the exit process.

In this episode of the Quiet Light Podcast, Joe Valley sits down with Jodie Cook, author and entrepreneur, to discuss implementing a plan of action to scale your business and exit for success. Jodie talks about how to delegate for expansion, minimize the challenges entrepreneurs face, and be intentional when creating an exit strategy. Stay tuned!
