In this episode of Remodeling Mastery, Mark gives suggestions and insights that will help you prepare for a softer market. Tune in to learn 7 tips that will help increase the resilience of your business.\\n\\n(12:59) Thought Leader Interview with Anthony Mathews, Transitions Expert\\n\\nDo you have a plan for an exit or transition out of your business? If not, then Employee Stock Ownership Plans or ESOPs might be the answer to this problem. When you own a productive asset like a business, one of the principal ways that it changes ownership is through inheritance. However, this family transition is becoming less common. Join Mark and Anthony as they discuss how ESOPs can be a good option for business owners who have reached the end of their career.\\n\\n\\u201cSomething that I'm really concerned about, as an advisor to businesses, is the number of businesses, especially small to mid-sized ones, that I see where the intent is just to liquidate the company... That for me is very troubling because it means that not only are we losing a productive asset from our culture but we're losing jobs, we're losing a tax base...One of the things that we've been working a lot with was this notion of letting companies continue but in the form of an employee-owned venture.\\u201d \\u2014Anthony Mathews\\n\\nSubscribe to Remodeling Mastery: iTunes | Google Play | SoundCloud | Stitcher\\n\\nIn 2019, Mark G.
