5.0 out of 5 stars A Ladder to Personal Prosperity
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
Bill Heestand's book "Ownership Ladder" delivers a major opportunity for a wide range of people to attain financial independence. It's not about "invent it and sell it". It's about making profits from a business operation that one owns. How can a person become a business owner? By becoming an employee of a business, preparing for managing the business, and then buying out the owner. Are there opportunities? 4,000,000 small businesses in the United States will experience owner retirement in the next 10 years. Someone will either take over these businesses from the retiring owner, or the business will go out of business, with little remaining value for the retiring owner. Millions of these businesses are highly profitable for their owners; but only as long as the owner is running the business. The Ownership Ladder is a lesson book for how to become an owner of one of these businesses, by working with the retiring owner to keep the business generating profits, both for the retiring owner and the new owner. This is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a get rich reliably scheme.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward, blunt, how-to guidance
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2020

As a Business Transitions practitioner of 20+ years, I found Bill's book to have distilled the key issues into a simple, clear, actionable process to step through the challenges and seize the opportunity of business ownership. He understands the mind and emotions of entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses. In my practice I emphasize that it has to be a good deal for all; buyer, seller, employees, customers, lenders and vendors. The approach Bill outlines in his book does that. (BTW, I have known Bill personally for over 20 years. He's a straight shooter.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read For Business Owners
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2020

As a small business owner I had all but dismissed the idea of finding a successor owner for my practice. Bill Heestand's The Ownership Ladder opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at succession. The concept makes so much sense and may well have eluded me if not for this book. Thank you. The book is enjoyable and a must read for current business owners and future owners looking to kick their boss to the curb with a smile!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ownership transfer is complicated and this book will help.
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020

I devoured this book in 2 days. Succession of a business is complicated and emotional. The Ownership Ladder gives the best practical guide by a mile. I even found myself writing notes in the margins. I never do that. If you own a business or are interested in basic ownership concepts - try this one out. Great work by the author. His real world experience is clear and his insight is valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gives a new meaning to compound wealth
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
The author has shown a fantastic way to own a business and compound wealth. I always believed that a successor-owner is the best way to own a small business (if there is an opportunity) but the author has shown a very systematic way of doing it. Examples from his own life and his Dad's life helped in proving the concept. Written in a confidfent manner based on experience.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2023
A book of truisms. Only 1 financial formula or loan scenario ($1.2 million, 5%, etc...) even discussed. And the remaining 99% of the book is a "hmmm...... is this right for me?" Not what I was looking for....
