This week: tech strategy & exit goals MUST align. Buyers, sellers, builders: know the link! Don't let tech be a liability. Next week: mentoring! #JRBEC #growth #leadership

AI & automation are reshaping exit strategies. Don't build for *show*; build for *value*. Align tech investments with clear exit goals or struggle to attract serious buyers. #JRBEC #futureofwork #leadership

Sellers: Exit in sight? Tech strategy aligned with a clear exit goal = major value booster. Show buyers you've built with purpose & demonstrate strategic focus. #JRBEC #entrepreneurship #exitplanning

Builders: Tech strategy & exit goals: are they aligned? It's not just "good tech", it's tech that *adds value* to a future sale. Know your endgame *before* you build! #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

Buyers: Tech strategy aligned with exit goals? Dig deeper! Is the tech *actually* built for the *stated* exit? Stress-test post-deal. A misaligned tech stack = value leak. #JRBEC #venturecapital #privateequity

Tech strategy & exit plans: often divorced but should be hitched at the hip. Building a scalable machine vs a cash cow requires vastly different tech investments. What's your endgame? #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

Week 15 of Jan's Rules: Tech & exit strategies. Should be linked, not separate! Investors, builders, sellers: know the alignment. It's shaping your business *right now*. #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

This week: mid-term planning! It's your business compass. Buyers: probe milestones. Sellers: showcase your plan. Builders: create a "mini North Star". Don't drift! #JRBEC #growth #leadership

AI & automation need clear mid-term plans. Efficiency can't kill strategy. Need milestones, not just a "North Star". Balance short-term gains with mid-term vision to thrive! #JRBEC #futureofwork #leadership

Sellers: Buyers want a PLAN, not just a vision. A solid mid-term strategy = higher valuation. Show tangible milestones & resource allocation. Don't appear directionless! #JRBEC #entrepreneurship #exitplanning

Builders: Too busy *doing* to plan *where*? Scaling or restarting, mid-term planning is your roadmap. A "mini North Star" focuses efforts. Don't wander aimlessly! #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

Investors: Is the target company drifting or paddling? Mid-term planning shows the difference. No plan = pipe dream or reactive mess. Probe milestones in DD. Post-acq, track progress! #JRBEC #venturecapital #privateequity

Mid-term planning: sounds like middle management fluff, right? But maybe it's the missing link between moonshots & daily fires. A "mini North Star" to stop you chasing fads & ask: are we *actually* getting anywhere? #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

Week 14 of Jan's Rules: Mid-term planning! Sounds dull, but it's crucial. Moonshots or firefighting? Need a roadmap! Investors, builders, sellers - listen up! #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

This week: IoT data deluge! Scalability is KEY. Buyers, sellers, builders - take note! Don't drown. Next week: Navigating Uncertainty. See you then! #JRBEC #growth #leadership

IoT future: data-driven & automated. But automation needs scalability! Plan for exponential growth, or drown in data. Invest now, or be left behind. #JRBEC #futureofwork #leadership

Sellers: Exit in IoT? Buyers want data scalability. Show them you've planned for growth & invested in a future-proof solution. Scalable data = higher valuation! #JRBEC #entrepreneurship #exitplanning

Investors: IoT's a goldmine, but is their data ready to scale? A company drowning in data with no plan is a ticking time bomb. Dig deep during DD, or pay the price later. #JRBEC #venturecapital #privateequity

IoT: "Internet of THINGS". Sounds cute, right? Until your data explodes & your systems choke. Are you building for scale, or just a digital house of cards? Plan for exponential growth, not just reacting to it. Hope isn't a strategy. #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship

Week 13 of Jan's Rules: IoT & data scalability. Think it's just tech? Think again! Investors, builders, sellers - this affects you all. Let's dive in! #JRBEC #growth #entrepreneurship
