When you think of value of your business, what do you consider?
If you include the size of your company as a key determinant of its value, you would not be alone. In fact, our society is obsessed with size and growth. We award the fastest growing companies and celebrate the businesses that employ the most people. We assume that top line revenue growth is the main goal of any business and offer all sorts of solutions to companies looking to grow their top line.
However, top line revenue growth on its own is not enough to boost the value of your company very much. What's more, it may be one of the least effective ways to get the freedom you desire. Rather than enabling freedom, growth usually comes at the expense of your freedom.
