By Aline Wealth Management on January 26, 2022
Business owners tend to be so focused on putting out fires in their day-to-day operations that it can seem impossible to plan for growth, never mind an exit from the business. However, this myopia holds business owners back. Pete Martin has dedicated his career to helping business owners break free of this mindset.

As a serial entrepreneur, Pete has started, scaled, and successfully exited four previous companies, including his last to KPMG for 12 times EBIDTA and no earn-out.
Pete is also the author of the upcoming book, “Pillars of Power – the Foundation for Explosive Growth and Sustainable Scale”. He is the creator of the Catapult Method™, which helps companies work strategically on every part of their business-enhancing all eight drivers of business value simultaneously.
