Productive Pressure LLC

CEO / M&A Advisor

VON BLUECHER, BLEA AND HUNKIN, INC.

I began my entrepreneurial career as a veterinarian specializing in racehorses

As a vet, I focused on helping my clients get peak performance from their horses. The name of my business, “Productive Pressure™,” came from finding the sweet spot: enough pressure to get fast - but not too much, so as to avoid injury.

As a business owner, I helped our practice grow to multiple seven figures, join forces with other practices, and eventually be acquired by a large aggregator.

Along the way, I earned an MBA and worked with many business owners. I spent hours poring over P&Ls and balance sheets.

I discovered that regardless of geography or size, all business owners had similar challenges.

Business Strategist & Leadership Coach for Busy Professionals | Optimizing strategies, systems, & teams to get your time back with Practice Freedom Accelerator | Burnout Badass

Whether you are ready to sell your business now or thinking about moving on to your next adventure in the next few years, understanding the current value of your business is vital. 

Do you know what your business is worth? 

Knowledge is power and once you have this information you have options.

As an owner in my former business, we increased the value, grew it (through mergers and acquisitions), and sold it. Now I help others get the business outcomes THEY want.

Through consulting & coaching we work through a process:

TRIAGE: As I did when I was a doctor in my previous career, we start with, "Where does it hurt right now?" We address this first.

VISION: What do you want for yourself and your business? Clarity on your desired outcome will provide a framework for the rest of your decisions.

VALUATION: We always start with the end in mind, but we need to have a baseline so we know where you are today. A valuation of your business shows us which levers to pull to get the outcome you want. Once you have that information, I put on my expert hat and we apply best practices to reverse engineer a plan to get you there.

PLAN: Now that we have a roadmap, I put on my facilitator hat to help you implement the action steps - whether it's stabilize/grow/sell. We adapt as needed and this accelerates your progress and keeps you on track.

TRANSITION/SELL: At some point you will leave your business whether you want to or not. We include this eventuality in our plan so that whether you pass the business along to a successor, or sell it internally or externally, the transition will be as smooth as possible.

If any of the following apply to you:

* want to know the value of your business
* are ready to sell your business
* want to get your business ready to sell 
* want to grow your business through acquisitions
* think we may have other synergies we should discuss
