We all go through life in a constant state of either being ready or not for the events and circumstances which we will face.  This is equally true for our immediate, ultimate, or unexpected exit from our business, as the case may be.  The fact is we really don’t know when we will be exiting our business.  We may think it is going to be in 10 or 15 years, however, the reality is that even the best laid plans can change quickly (or at least more quickly than we anticipated), due to unforeseen business, financial, personal, health and family changes in circumstances (whether good or bad).

The Boy Scout motto is “be prepared”.  It is good advice, and it is particularly applicable in business owner Exit Planning.  Just as you would not normally venture into a new market or a new product line without adequate preparation, you wouldn’t want to venture into your foreseeable or unforeseeable exit without adequate preparation. 

What's Your Score? 
So.  Where do you stand?  How ready are you for the expected and the unexpected?  What follows is a test which we’ve designed to help you to answer that question.  At the end of this test you should have a better idea of the answers to the following two fundamental questions:
  -  What will be the probable, almost certain, future outcome of your present course, if left unchanged?
  -  What’s missing, the presence of which would make a substantial difference in producing a better outcome?

Take The Test.
Read the questions carefully.  These questions are part of the Transition Growth Planning process.  Be honest with yourself.  This test measures your readiness today. 

After you’ve gone through the Transition Growth Planning process, you can take the test again to review what will typically be substantially better exit readiness results.  If you don’t know an answer for sure, it should be answered “no”.  A few questions might be “not applicable” to you.  Answer them “yes”.
