    • Bill Crawford - Life from the Top of the Mind

      Settle in for a fascinating conversation with 2019 Vistage Speaker of the year Dr. Bill Crawford. Bill is a licensed psychologist, author of 4 books, and has created over 3,300 presentations for Sprint, Shell, The American Medical Association, and many more esteemed organizations. While we are over-saturated with information, Bill realized early on that we are not necessarily sure of what to do with it. After taking a class on the biological basis of behavior, Bill came up with a tried and true system for taking advantage of the way our brains work in order to think at a higher level.

      Reactions are due to the way we process information, and Bill shares why thinking in different parts of the brain causes different responses. By training our brain to think in the neocortex, our decision making process becomes more advanced and clear. Bill sheds light on what can happen when we try to see other people as allies instead of adversaries. While it may seem exhausting to aim for high level thinking all the time, Bill discusses why this process can actually be chemically energizing. Treat yourself to Bill’s exceptionally useful information.

      Transcript: 

      Bill: What's the buyer who's gonna buy your business, gonna look for in your business? Here's two great tips from Rick MacBarron.

      Rick: The investment banking market is a nervous market, buyer's are very, very careful. So, again, when you present to the market, the business has got make a lot of sense. A buyer's gotta be able to look at the financials and understand it quickly, and not have to do a lot of digging around and, "can you explain this to me, please?" and, they don't want to ask a lot of those questions. Well, the other thing I see, Bill, is business owners just doing too many things, so that when a buyer comes along, the buyer's gonna say, "well, wait a minute, Mr. or Ms. Business Owner, you are the business." A company I'm working with right now in Wilmington, where we're intentionally bringing in a management team, so that when my client steps out, the buyer can look at it and say, "okay, this is a business I can buy, and it can continue running without the big guy still in the company."
