My favorite products and services to share with you
In today’s ezine, I’m sharing part II of ways to build value in your business. Learn to leverage all your assets and let the abundance flow!
I love to share the why, what and how of creating success in business but if it was just about knowing strategies, it seems like many more people would be having phenomenal results. I’ve come to learn over the years that how you feel about yourself has a direct relationship to the flow of money and success coming into your life. But don’t take my word for it… take the Money Quiz and find out for yourself.  This is a very cool tool! It only takes 2-3 minutes and it may be surprise you. You can work as hard as you want and do “all the right things” but if you have subconscious blocks or misbeliefs about yourself or money, all the work may be in vain.
Our 16-week Protégé Program just got underway & here’s what peeps are saying after our first class:
“I love it ---you two rock. Feeling blessed and grateful to work and create magical moments with you two” and “Thanks...I am having such fun with all your ideas” and “I feel as if I am BACK in the GAME… Geez this is fun…I feel special again”
There’s still time to join us! We’ll transform the way you do business…I guarantee it.

The Passion To Prosperity Diva’s BUSINESS WISDOM
Ways to build VALUE in your business, part II
Many people think the value in their business is primarily tied to revenue only so they tend toundervalue their worth when it comes time to sell.  I’ve spoken to many CEO’s (including yours truly) who felt they left “too much on the table” when it was time to sell their business or negotiate a deal because they didn’t take many other factors into consideration.
This is also an important issue when it’s time to attract investors or put together strategic alliances.The more you learn to value every aspect of your business, the more bargaining power you have when it come time to negotiate. There are literally dozens of ways to build value in your business---we discuss many of these in our Protégé Program. Here is part II of my list...
6. The people on your team
Relationships are important and can be used as a bargaining chip in many negotiations. Includes your advisors, producers, creatives, sales stars, as well as who’s in your “golden rolodex”.
7. Goodwill ~ “Blue Sky”
What is your name worth to you? Have you been involved in community outreach? Featured in the media? Your reputation, good name and the credibility of your business can increase your value.
8. Access to capital and other resources
Do you have access to resources you may not have fully utilized yet but could be considered a valuable asset to someone that wants to do business with you.
9. Aged corporation
Age before beauty applies here! The longer your company has been in existence, the easier it is to establish business lines of credit…and take advantage of other perks. Often times, a younger company may buy an existing shell of a company for this very reason.
10. Ability to create new Intellectual Property
If you have patents, trademarks or other intellectual property that hasn’t been fully expressed or developed, the potential of its development may be worth more than you know. Case in point if you own a PC, how many versions of Windows have you purchased since you’ve had your first computer?
