In particular, he shares advice on how to set goals your team will buy into, how to use tracking to maintain forward momentum, and exactly what to do if progress temporarily stalls.

David helps owners and leaders build their businesses without having to do it all themselves so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm,

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To give your children a head start in life get them into goal setting as soon as possible. Doug explains how.

• When you set and review your goals, you are feeding your subconscious. Reminding it what to focus on, so you work towards them virtually on autopilot.

• Write your goals down as if you have achieved them e.g. I am a good timekeeper. Start with 10 and write them down daily.

• Start with small goals to build confidence in your abilities.

• Your mindset is vital.

• Business owners need to get buy-in from their teams to achieve their goals.

• Reduce resistance by understanding what your team member´s priorities and goals are e.g. planning the work week, so people get more family time.

• Monitor progress effectively.

• Anticipate what resources are needed to achieve the goal ahead of time and act to fill those gaps before progress stalls.

• Use automation to improve workflow and avoid the frustration and negativity that delays generate.

• Put family time first and keep the channels of communication open.

• Often, people who feel trapped are cash-poor. Doug explains how to reverse this situation and free yourself.

BEST MOMENTS

“You´ve got to feed your subconscious this stuff (your goals) .”

“It´s definitely all about your mindset. You have a choice; you can have a positive reaction to something or a negative reaction.”

“It's resilience, and you just got to keep going.”

“Now I'm being more Doug, I will attract people that like the Doug.”

For this episode, David is joined by Andy Lee, who is the founder of Parallaxes Capital, an alternative asset manager and a market leader in monetising tax-receivable agreements on behalf of investors. Andy helps companies and organisations access tax receivables as an asset class rather than as a cost. 

He also explains how companies can take latent assets and use them to generate cash now. Before walking you through how to spot a gap in a market, educate customers about your unique and new service and scale your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Parallaxes Capital accesses and deploys funds that others overlook as sources.

• If you can claim tax (VAT) back e.g. £100 but need the cash today, Parallaxes Capital will give you a percentage of your refund immediately e.g. £90, then claim the full £100 and wait to receive that money.

• Not many businesses or entities are aware that they can improve their cash flow using this technique.

• Many companies are not leveraging the way the tax system works to finance their endeavours. 

• There are many ways companies can take an asset that is sitting there making nothing and use it to generate cash now. Some of which are discussed during the episode.

• Every person you hire needs to add to your bottom line, not just cover what you pay them.

• Marketing is equally as important as product development. You have to do both in tandem.

• Don´t overpromise. People appreciate integrity. 

BEST MOMENTS

“We provide liquidity for assets that are otherwise unloved or stranded.”

“It's a nascent asset class, and candidly, it's one of those things where it's all about education.”

“You help people to access these tax receivables as an asset class, rather than as a cost.”

“The price that you're willing to pay is entirely dictated by the value perceived to have been delivered to you.”

“That's a latent asset that can be converted into cash.”

“Many people spend too much time working on the product. They don't work enough on the marketing of their product.”

“Good growth is when every incremental individual you add, not only pays for themselves, they also deliver you a return.”

In this episode, David, who has created and sold many businesses, shares seven things you should not do when selling your business. Often, these relatively simple errors end up costing you a lot of money and making it far harder to sell, so the consequences of making these mistakes are serious.

David explains why these mistakes are so easy and common and, most importantly, how to avoid making them yourself. Including some things you need to start doing years before you eventually sell your business.

David helps owners and leaders to build their business without having to do it all themselves, so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm,

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• At some stage, the majority of successful entrepreneurs end up selling a business. 

• Even people who have no intention of selling their business end up doing so at some point. They get sick, priorities change, or their children do not want to inherit the business.

• Running a business as an asset that you will one day sell, pushes you to build a far better business.

• To be saleable a business needs a strong team, good processes, decent infrastructure, a sound culture and great products or services. All of which will also boost profits while you own it.

• Your business should be able to run without you, so you can take time off when you want. This has the added benefit of making it easier to sell.

• Sell to the right buyer, usually you will be partnering with them for months while you hand the business over.

• Do full due diligence on the buyer. The last thing you need is for the deal to fall through after months of work.

• Don´t get distracted, keep your business performing while the deal goes through. If sales drop off the buyer will likely pull out.

• Have someone working alongside you on the marketing and selling process. They will provide perspective and help keep things on track.

BEST MOMENTS

“Having an exit plan for a business, even if you don't want to sell it right now, can help you to avoid making common business errors.”

“Do not ignore the chemistry with a potential buyer. You have to be able to get along. You have to be able to come to reasoned and rational decisions together. .”

“Don't get distracted by anything other than cash, profit, people and service.”

“Complete on the deal emotionally.”

“Remove that dependency on you.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For virtually every business problem there is a tech solution that can solve it or make things a lot easier.

• AI has the power to solve multiple problems.

• The fact that systems can be hard to integrate e.g. the most popular ERPs do not talk with the most popular CRMs can be overcome.

• You need to nail your processes before you can introduce the right tech.

• Use AI to help you record your current processes and create flow charts, Michael tells you how.

• Not everything can be automated. Train your AI to immediately route these things to a human.

• Human solution providers should be using tech tools to solve problems faster.

• Your AI chatbot must be backed up 24/7 by humans your customers can easily reach.

• If a customer is talking to AI, tell them. If you don´t, they will never trust you again.

• Much of the most important knowledge resides in the heads of employees. Use technology to capture that knowledge and make it more widely available.

• Companies that prioritise digital operations end up with technologies that work smoothly together.

• The ROI on digital automation is very fast, less than a year and is usually between 75% and 150% initially and up to around 300% a few years later.

• Technology frees people up to do other more important tasks e.g. develop new products. It does not have to result in job losses.

BEST MOMENTS

“Too many tech guys try to jam in a solution that does not quite fit.”

“Make sure people are aware they are speaking with an AI .”

“The outcome is consistency, clarity, capacity, confidence, and, ultimately, cash flow.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

●     The UK´s growth year to date has been lower than for most of the world´s large economies.

●     Interest rates are set to fall, but slowly.

●     Outsourcing some roles can help to reduce the impact of the NI changes.

●     The capital gains tax rates were 10 and 20%, they were increased to 18 and 24%. Selling assets earlier can help to minimise the impact of this change.

●     Investigate the use of Substantial Shareholding Exemptions (SSE) and group structures to help to reduce tax when assets are sold.

●     Having an exit plan for your business is now vital.

●     When budgetary changes are announced, always review the impact it will have on your business and future plans.

●     Hone your cashflow monitoring processes.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“It's just about taking professional advice and reviewing your estate, and your medium-term plans.”

“I'm a strong advocate of the 13-week rolling cash flow forecast.”

“Leverage technology to make life as easy as possible.”

“There wasn't actually an increase in capital gains tax rates for residential landlords.”

“Restructuring into a group is worth considering. “

“They've got to find that money personally to pay the tax, even though the asset they're inheriting is a company.”

“Sophisticated planning can be put in place to significantly reduce your capital gains tax bill.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Only 27% of men in the USA have 6 friends. In the UK,  only 1 in 5 men have any friends.

• Committing to regularly do things together builds strong friendships, but you need to structure these meetups, so people turn up often enough.

• Social media is helpful, but in-person contact matters too.

• The new ways society requires us to communicate, and act can make some people fear saying the wrong thing to the point where they say nothing and never connect.

• Bonding while enjoying a walk, run or skiing provides a chance to talk.

• Research shows that men and women build and maintain friendships differently.

• Authenticity is key.

• Show empathy and be willing to be vulnerable.

• If you go into business with a friend, be clear about what the exit strategy is.

“Sometimes these little snippets are the kind of little top-up that you need just to check in and connect.”

Today´s leaders must lead by example and empower their teams to take the right action quickly. David shares the 8 attributes today´s leaders need to cultivate to ensure that they can do that effectively.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The traditional lead and control approach no longer works. Empowerment is more important.

• Great leadership makes a huge difference when it comes to staff retention. Replacing someone and getting them productive typically costs between £15k and £50k, so good leaders are vital.

• Great leaders create strategies for the future and select the right people to deliver them.

• Tailored support is essential. People need the right skills and tools to be able to grow and be empowered to deliver your vision.

• Make sure everyone feels heard.

• Effective communication is a crucial leadership goal.

• Keep in touch with the change as it is happening.

• Spot problems bubbling up and tackle them before they become a crisis.

• Great leaders have very strong emotional intelligence. That starts with self-awareness, understanding your strengths and weaknesses, and your natural orientations.

• A good understanding of your own emotional intelligence can help you to align the team to either avoid a crisis or take fast action in a crisis.

• Learn to keep your cool under any circumstances.

BEST MOMENTS

“A leader creates a vision …. and works to a longer horizon.”

“How well do you as a leader, bring people together and motivate them as individuals to work together and all pull in the same direction?.”

“How do you show up each day? … The behaviors you exhibit will be copied and emulated by people that respect you.”

“Being an agent for change is not just coming up with ideas, and then swanning off to let everybody else deal with the chaos that you've created.”

“Delegate how that crisis is handled.”

“How comfortable are you taking a calculated risk, both to prevent a crisis and to resolve one?”
