035: The Intentional Growth Framework with Ryan Tansom
By Aline Wealth Management on June 30, 2022
When the time comes to finally leave the company you have built you would like to have options available to you. But the reality for most is that they have not planned and prepared enough to put themselves in this position. Ryan Tansom has worked with business owners on the “Intentional Growth” framework that can put them on track to achieve their goals.
Ryan helped turn around their family business and then sell it for 8 figures to a local competitor in 2014. The growth and exit process was an unexpectedly difficult undertaking, but the lessons that were learned have proven to be invaluable.
He took his experience and co-founded Arkona where he created the Intentional Growth™ 5 Principles and Framework and hosts the Intentional Growth™ podcast.
Ryan’s mission is to help entrepreneurs get clarity on how to grow the value of their business with the end in mind by shifting their mindset away from annual income to focusing on long-term value creation.
Today, Ryan joins the show to share his process and mindset to help entrepreneurs create a strategic plan that gives them the freedom of choice to do what they want with the business long term.
