In 2000, they sold the business to Larry and Francine Johns, who promised to continue the principles the company was built on.
Understanding the Value of Key Employees
Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of small businesses hit a glass ceiling — because owners are so involved in day-to-day operations, they can’t scale the business into something larger. They don’t trust their own people to be key players… The greatest value in your business lies in what key people bring to the table. Maybe it’s their leadership, customer relationships, or knack for developing new business. So just imagine the devastating impact on your business if any of your key people were to leave just before you exit the business!
