    About this ebook

    You have heard of the valuation multipliers "3x income" or "4x EBITDA", you may know what income or EBITDA is, but do you know what "3x" or "4x" is? Do you know how to get from a "3x" multiplier to a "7x" multiplier? If you don't, fall off your wallet and find out how. Clients have spent thousands of dollars for the advice contained in YBAWS! and have transformed their companies to increase value and the company's marketability to potential purchasers. For the price of a couple coffees and a few hours of your time, your understanding of new business realities in business acquisitions will be transformed as well. Lost are the days where share value is predominantly determined by revenue and income. Influenced yes, but determined no! The focus on de-risking a business has and will continue to dominate valuation models for corporate transactions. Long term growth is outpacing short term profit models. Corporate value and marketability are the primary focus now; so it is not about profit, it is about the risk of that profit. YBAWS! is a book that leads you through the valuation process like no other book has before. In concludes with you acting as a purchaser valuing a company so you understand how risk affects valuation. You then value your own company and see how de-risking your business adds value. This is not a motivation book, rather a valuation workshop. YBAWS! will inform you, not only how to maximize your corporate value, but how to have buyers compete to buy your company for cash. The book has practical examples that demonstrate how you can increase share value, make your company more attractive to purchase even if your income decreases. YBAWS! is easy to read and understand, it will transform your understanding and prepare you for a large payout when you retire. Wall Street knows these secrets, value investors like Warren Buffet use these practices. Larry Fink is demanding business do this now. The same strategies they do, you can do in your own business very easily and amaze yourself how you can create wealth without increasing income. These strategies can take some time to implement, so the time to act is now.
