Shift to Significance with DriveValue.com
by Exit Planning Institute on September 20, 2024
Exit Planning Institute (EPI) is thrilled to announce our latest initiative, a partnership with Legacy Motor Club, to emphasize the mindset shift toward long-term significance.
Meet Drive Value: a platform that equips both business owners and leaders with the education, insights, resources, and experts needed to maximize profits, attract exceptional talent, build impactful cultures, and drive unprecedented value—while gaining the freedom they desire. Through this innovative collaboration, we aim to empower owners and leadership teams to drive their companies from success to significance and equip Certified Exit Planning Advisors (CEPA) with the tools to help them.
A Partnership Driven by Excellence in Exit Planning
DriveValue.com combines the expertise of the Exit Planning Institute, the leadership and legacy of Legacy Motor Club, and the excitement and drive of NASCAR. This partnership aligns with EPI’s mission of building significant companies while merging it with the fast-paced and competitive world of racing.
As a part of this collaboration, EPI is taking its message to the racetrack, with a car that will debut in June 2025 at the Nashville Superspeedway which symbolizes our commitment to helping owners drive both lasting and significant value. This initiative focuses on creating awareness of exit planning and value acceleration within the business owner and leader community while mirroring the intensity, speed, and precision required on and off the track.
Why EPI and Legacy Motor Club?
Just as racing teams require strategic planning, agility, and long-term vision to achieve podiums, so do business owners in exit planning. Legacy Motor Club and NASCAR represent the pinnacle of teamwork, resilience, and excellence -- qualities that also define what it takes to successfully drive value in your business.
Through this partnership, EPI aims to reach business owners across industries and demonstrate how integrating leadership, planning, and strategy is key to future success and significance. The racecar also highlights the need for speed—not just on the track, but in making critical decisions that ensure long-term value.
Introducing DriveValue.com: Your Resource for Exit Planning and Business Value Acceleration
At the core of this partnership is DriveValue.com, a platform built for business owners looking to drive value and create a company that thrives today and is transferable tomorrow. Whether an owner is in the early stages of exit planning, or looking for ways to build long-term, lasting significance, DriveValue.com provides the tools, insights, and experts to get you there. Exit Planning Institute President, Scott Snider, explains “Drive Value is all about educating business owners and leaders on what it really takes to drive value into their companies, and how aligning business, personal, and financial goals can make that happen. The idea behind this campaign is to highlight the Value Acceleration Methodology and showcase the incredible community that supports the methodology. We want business owners to know that we are here to help and we’ve got a whole community here to support them. We’ll be diving into what an exit strategy really means and how it’s relevant both now and when it’s time to transition."
The Purpose Behind DriveValue.com
The purpose of DriveValue.com is two-fold: empower and equip.
Empower both business owners and leaders to create a pathway towards a more significant company. One that runs better today and is more valuable tomorrow with the guidance of expert Certified Exit Planning Advisors (CEPA).
Equip owners, their leadership teams, and CEPAs with the necessary tools to align business, personal, and financial goals, while facilitating conversations about shifting from success to significance. By helping business owners achieve greater freedom, attract top talent, and build lasting legacies, CEPAs play an essential role in this transformation.
The content featured on DriveValue.com will focus on exit strategy and planning, driving value, and preparing not just for a successful exit, but one that is significant and leaves a lasting impact. It is about shifting a business owner’s mindset from shift-term gains to long-term significance – helping them to create legacies that benefit both their companies and communities.
Key Features of DriveValue.com
DriveValue.com is designed to be a comprehensive hub of resources tailored to both business owners and leaders. The key features will include:
- Educational resources and tools for building business value and preparing a clear strategy.
- Practical insights on exit planning and value acceleration.
- Guidance from CEPAs to navigate the complexities of value growth.
This platform offers a holistic approach to business planning and exit strategy, helping owners and leaders move from the day-to-day-operational mindset to focusing on long-term strategic growth.
How Will This Impact CEPAs?
DriveValue.com is designed to support and enhance the work that Certified Exit Planning Advisors (CEPA) are already doing. Rather than taking away from their efforts, the Drive Value platform will equip CEPAs with even more resources and tools to deepen their engagements with business owners. It provides new opportunities to facilitate important conversations around exit strategy and planning, value acceleration, and the shift from success to significance. Scott Snider said, "for our CEPAs, Drive Value is a content platform they can leverage to share educational resources with their clients — from podcasts, books, white papers, and case studies to tools and resources to readiness surveys, as well as a whole network of partners. It’s designed to help owners not only understand the process but execute it effectively and achieve real results.”
By creating a platform built specifically for business owners, ultimately more engagements will be driven for CEPAs. As the platform grows, CEPAs will find themselves better positioned to guide owners through their exit strategy, offering tailored insights and strategies that align with long-term goals.
In summary, Drive Value amplifies the role of CEPAs by expanding their toolkit and increasing awareness about the value of exit planning and value acceleration. Ensuring that business owners are both prepared and motivated to engage with expert advisors.
