Monopoly Control: How to Build an Unbeatable Business Moat

In this episode of Navigating Abundant Retirement, Carol Dewey dives into one of the most powerful yet overlooked drivers of company value — Monopoly Control.

When you build a moat around your business, you stop competing on price and start commanding premium valuations. It’s not about being the biggest in your industry — it’s about being the only one in your niche who solves a critical problem better than anyone else.

Carol shares real-world stories, including how one founder outperformed billion-dollar competitors not by expanding, but by focusing. You’ll learn how clarity, specialization, and defensibility create lasting enterprise value — and why buyers line up for businesses with strong moats.
