Simon Bedard, Founder and Managing Director of Exit Advisory Group, joined them as the third speaker. He is National Chair of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers and a Registered Business Valuer.

The lunch put Your Business Momentum's founders and an exit adviser at the same table, on the same question. YBM sums up Greg Gunther's view in one line: a business is only worth what it can do without you.

That is the same idea Simon took to financial advisers two days earlier, in his FAAA webinar on building a business that can run without the owner. A buyer pays for a business that keeps running, and keeps earning, once the owner steps back.

The day before, Simon was in Brisbane for the AIBB National Board's strategic planning day, as National Chair of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers.
