In Episode 25 I was a guest on Leigh Farnell's podcast "Leading Your Best Life". We discussed many ideas and experiences of doing business and selling businesses. That episode went for an hour and a quarter (have a listen to it if you haven't already). At the end of it, we recognised that there were so many more things we could discuss that would help business owners so we agreed to do a part 2. This episode is a recording of part 2.
We share experiences and case studies to highlight things such as:
We share so much and would love to get your feedback on what you got out of it. If you are in the market for sales training or consultancy go to https://www.leighfarnell.com/

In this episode I feature Katie van Heek the owner of Health Intent as we look at how to recognise mental health issues in business and how to handle them. It is a recording from a webinar we did and the slides are available at Katie van Heek Slides.
Mental health issues are becoming more prevalent in life and business. There is a lot more awareness now and with that comes more help to deal appropriately with them.
Katie van Heek created her business Health Intent and shares her time between individual body-led counselling support, and training as a licenced facilitator of Mental Health First Aid, Older Persons Mental Health First Aid, and as an educator for Western Australian Recovery College Alliance (WARCA). Katie is passionate about education and the inclusion of Mental Health in the community and Workplace.
Here is What You'll Learn from this webinar recording:
* Neurodiversity vs Neurotypicality
How are our brains different and what does that mean in the context of owning a business?
* Cultivating Psychological safety in professional relationships
What are the four pillars of psychological safety and how to I integrate them into my workplace?
* Mental Health First Aid
One conversation can save a life, everyone should know how to start one. What does this look like in a workplace?
* What are Psychosocial risks and how do I mitigate them?
The Workplace Safety and Health Act offers some guidance; what does that mean practically in the workplace?
* Psychological Contracts
What are they, how do I navigate them and how do I safeguard against breaches?
* Communication is Key
How do I discuss all of this in a professional setting, communicating the needs of the business and supporting the needs of myself, and employees?

I get frustrated and need to have a rant. I would pull my hair out - if I had any left!
If you enjoy this episode or have a question or comment, use the text link above this description.
This is one of those times. This time it was triggered by a conversation with a business owner who was wondering why business brokers weren't getting back to them after their initial call. I tried to explain to the owner what the problem was but I don't think the message got home.
In this short podcast I recount the conversation with this business owner and emphasise for all business owners "Have you business ready for sale all the time!"
A business that's ready for sale is well worth keeping. Build your business as though you are going to keep it forever, but could sell it tomorrow. ENJOY!

My guest on this podcast is Amanda Rowe. Through her own needs as a mum, Amanda saw a gap in the market for a product for feeding and connecting with babies. She created a product and realised there was potential to make this into a business.
In our discussion, we cover everything from having an idea, creating a product, getting a product manufactured, funding growth through grants, patents & trademarks, dealing with investors, taking a product overseas and so much more.
Much of our discussion also covered life, the universe and everything and having a life as well as a business. There is so much to learn from Amanda’s experience. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating this podcast.

Partnerships are like aircraft. The only ones you hear about are the ones that crash. I keep telling business owners this because when I say to them that getting into a partnership or combining their business with someone else may be a way to grow their business or exit their business, they tell me “I'm not getting into a partnership, they don't work.”
Partnerships can work if you go about things the right way. I know that because I was in a very successful partnership some years ago and this podcast is an interview with the partner I had at the time. We discuss why our partnership worked and how you can make a partnership work for you.
A partnership can be a great way of growing a business and selling it. It can also be a good way to transition out of a business and sell it over time to the partner.
You need to do some work upfront and get to know each other and choose the right partner. Then there are some fundamental things that we recommend you do to help the partnership be successful so listen to my former business partner and very good friend Peter Bangle from Investors In People as we discuss how to have a successful partnership.

I love it when I get interviewed for someone else's podcast because then I know I am talking about things that interest someone else. Whilst a lot of questions I get asked when speaking with business owners are the same questions, it's also the case that every business is different and every owner has their own personal circumstances and their own questions. Hence, being interviewed brings things out that may otherwise not be discussed. Enjoy this episode where I cover many things about selling a business.
On the episode, I am answering questions from Carmen Alla-Petale on her Committed Creative Podcast. Carmen is a content strategist and public relations consultant providing services including copywriting, blogging, content marketing, editing and ghostwriting. Carmen's website is Red Platypus Creative.

Starting a business can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it's important to consider the end game before you even begin. Planning for the exit strategy is a crucial part of the business planning process.
It's important to determine how you plan to exit the business before you even start. This will help you make decisions about how to structure your business, what resources to invest in, and what goals to set.
This podcast is as much about "thinking" as it is about exiting. Thomas J Watson is alleged to have come up with the slogan "THINK" which he introduced to IBM. IBM was for decades the largest computer company in the world. IBM trade marked THINK. They called their laptop computers "ThinkPads". That's how important they believe thinking is. Have a listen, create some thinking time and think about your end game for the business!
