At some point most business owners will need to find out how much their business is worth. They will be faced with the task of finding someone to perform a business appraisal or valuation. In such unfamiliar territory owners often don t know where to start.
With the relationship between the three skills and the functional needs of the business, Gerber was only partially correct. He leaves readers with the impression that the entrepreneur (alone) must consistently possess and exercise all three of these skills for the business to succeed. A key distinction is that the three skills represent the three functions of the business that must be completed for the business to succeed. I believe that the entrepreneur does not have to perform all three functions personally. In fact, the business and the entrepreneur will be more successful if the entrepreneur DOES NOT personally perform all three functions.
