November 13, 2017 Josh Brown - Bet On Yourself (K1317)
Host: Bill Black Audio Library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com

Josh Brown discusses business ownership and offers tried & true methods that help both business and franchise owners scale and grow.

Transcript:

Bill: So, where do people tend to go wrong when they get into franchising?

Josh: I think people fall in love with brands, but they don't understand the underlying business model. And, if you're going to buy a franchise, and be a good operator, you have to understand the underlying business model. I think people don't take as much time and consideration into factoring in their territories, because, as much as you are buying a system, and you're buying a brand, and you're buying the expertise of somebody else who has come before you, your location, your backyard, your geographic location is so important for your business because we were talking about how small business who are not franchised compete against franchises, well franchises are competing against them, as well.

November 12, 2017 Swami Tirtha - How to Reduce Stress (K1217)
Swami Tirtha is the Author of "The Hip Guru's Guide", and for the past 40 years he has been helping business owners and their families with natural health and stress management.

Transcript:

Swami: There's actually a lot of wellness research that shows that when businesses take care of their workers by giving them wellness plans, for example, several things happen more than we even expected. First, of course, they start feeling better. Secondly, they start to feel a sense of purpose, which you wouldn't necessarily put those two together. They then become more productive, more involved with the company, productivity goes up, quality goes up, and then another thing that people say is, "well, maybe if the workers are healthier, we won't have to pay as much in medical insurance or medical care," which is true, but they also found they were able to reduce their medical insurance costs in places like Safeway, saving millions of dollars a year. Taking care of your workers improves your heart, your soul, and your pocketbook.

November 11, 2017 Terry Shope - Practice Your Steps Before You Get To The Big Dance (K1117)
Terry Shope, Principal - MPL Consulting,Inc. discusses some of his practical tips for owners to prepare well in advance for the sale of their business.

Transcript:

Terry: One of the many situation that I step into is that you're dealing with the entrepreneur or owner, who's very creative, many ideas. One day they have this great idea and they work to implement it and the next day they have another idea. In a situation like that, I typically step maybe in as an interim manager, CFO, COO role, sometimes even as president, and we start working together to create a structure for the company, a line, a path both short term and long term. After a few conversations they allude to me, they develop a little bit of trust, that they're looking to exit their business, and of course they don't want their employees to know. After a period of time we set it up, we found opportunities to strengthen the top line, they had very sporadic sales revenues, and so we found ways to stabilize that top line and even grow it, which greatly helped the bottom line, and from that we were able to take some money, they had a profit sharing plan in place, but they weren't able to fund it. So, now, we set up a target sale date, and we start funding that profit sharing because the business was doing much better and we were able to manage a budget and things of that nature.

Here's a past highlight from one of our Guests. Find their full interview at www.ExitCoachRadio.com -- just click "Audio Library" in the "LISTEN" section and enter their name to hear all of their past interviews!
Transcript:
Bill: Where do you start to plan when you have a new business? Here's T. Phillip Boggess.
T: Almost everyone, when they start a business, wants limited liability, so let's make sure that we create the entity that's gonna have limited liability so we aren't opening the door for any litigators to pierce the corporate veil. At the same time that's happening, we have to plan our exit strategy, because trying to plan for that later is too difficult. So we need to create some sort of buy-sell agreement or some other way for these business owners to know, when it comes time that I want to leave or that I have to leave, that here's how it's going to work. It's going to protect everybody, it's going protect people who are staying in the business, because they're going to get to have the business and run the business as they are without necessarily being in business with their former partner's family, and it's going to protect the former partner's family because if something were to happen to him or her, it makes sure they are going to get what they deserve.
