Emily is the owner of SideMark, which she started 7 years ago. It is a highly successful company & she puts its success down to implementing EOS (The Entrepreneurial Operating System) into the business.

Apart from the successful business, Emily is living her dream career life which she has crafted intentionally over time. 

She has just recently written a. book called Growth Junkies Unite – A Simple Guide to Invigorate your Journey.

In this episode, she shares with us what being a growth junkie really is & how she has created a multi-faceted career, as co-owner of the business, a Professional EOS Coach & Business Coach, a published Author & a peer-group facilitator, as well as enjoying a full life outside of business.

After implementing EOS to help them run their business 5 years ago and seeing tremendous success, Emily launched her EOS coaching practice to help other entrepreneurs and leadership teams get more of what they want from their business.

She describes herself as the poster girl for EOS as she has run a business without EOS & with EOS. And she wishes she had found it earlier.

"When I first got into entrepreneurship, I didn't know what I was doing. It's not like I went to school and learn how to run a business. And at the time, I found this business was in need of a turnaround situation, it was a $13 million office furniture dealership down in the southwest part of the United States. And it was just so much fun to dig into. And yet I could have done it better now that I know what I know, it would have been easier and faster. And so when I moved into the opportunity to buy in as third owner of a $15 million office furniture dealership, my two partners and I quickly realized that we really wanted to come together and figure out our vision for where we wanted to take the company. And so luckily, at that time, I was a part of a peer group. And in that group, I heard about EOS, which is the entrepreneurial operating system. It's a way of operating and running a business more effectively and efficiently so that you can get more out of the business and actually enjoy the business more."

Emily shares her journey to bring EOS into the business & how it changed not only the business but her life too.

Cash flow can be a real issue for businesses... Especially with the current environment where we have some industries pushing out payments to up to 80 days.

So what's stopping you from freeing up some cash to continue your growth initiatives? 

Invoice financing is huge overseas in Europe & the US but many people don't actually know what it is in NZ, because it's not widely used. 

Invoice financing is the process of releasing money from unpaid invoices, so that you can use that money to pay for things the business needs & Sarah Lochead-MacMillan, as the GM of Geneva is an expert in this area.

For many of the businesses, they have to wait maybe 60 plus days to get paid. There are some wholesalers who work with supermarkets that can be waiting up to about 75 days to get paid. If you're paying your staff weekly, that is a mistiming of cash. 

And you always have rent and power and bills like that to pay monthly. 

If you don't get paid for two months, how do you find the cash flow? 

Join me as I speak with Sarah about the pros & cons of Invoice financing & how you can use it to accelerate growth in your business.

Sarah also shares her top 3 tips for businesses, which are simple but effective.
