Dictating Your Own Exit Strategy 

Being able to dictate your own exit strategy should be the highlight of your career because it epitomizes the entrepreneurial dream: Go into business, be successful at it, and leave under your own terms. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Many owners are reluctant to make plans to walk away, and thus leave too many critical decisions to chance. Scott Peterson talks about what you need to know to put a plan together.

The Manufacturing Business Outlook 

U.S. manufacturing is the largest in the world. It produces 18.2 percent of the world's goods. That's more than the entire economic output of Canada, Korea, or Mexico. But America's leadership position is threatened by high operating costs. Manufacturing is forecast to increase faster than the general economy. Production should grow 2.8 percent in 2018. Growth will slow to 2.6 percent in 2019 and 2.0 percent in 2020. Listen in as the president of the largest machine tool builder gives us his outlook on the business horizon.
