    Randy Taussig is the Founder of BlueCore Leadership, a coaching/advisory company that helps growing entrepreneurial companies stay on course and get what they want from their businesses. Today, he will discuss how the right people affect exit strategies. 
     
    Questions Discussed:
     

    1. What do you mean by, "the right people/the right seats" and how does it affect the exit?
    2. You mention the need for clear alignment around "culture" as the first step in getting the right people in the right seats of an organization. Is it common for the “culture” to change after the exit?
    3. Aside from helping organizations get clarity around attracting great people, what other thing do you do to help facilitate a successful exit?

    Host: Bill Black Audio Library: www.ExitCoachRadio.com 
     
    Garry Spinks discusses employee preferences and needs and how your business can adapt to the changing employee landscape.  
     

    Transcript: 

    Garry: There's a lot of organizations that do a great job at knowing what their business is, what their financials are, what their competitors do, what their strategy is...but the element that sometimes is overlooked is: what about our employees? What are their preferences, what are their needs, are we meeting their needs? And that's why we talk about the employee value proposition. We really think organizations, they know the first three things we mentioned, but they should really put a microscope on: what are employee preferences and needs, and are we meeting those? Because the workforce is changing dynamically right now, and the war for talent is getting no less, there's less people to do all the jobs.

  • Carl Woodard - What is The Right Business Plan Time Horizon? (G1417)

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Carl Woodard of SCORE OC discusses the best time horizon to consider for a business plan.

    Transcript: 

    Bill: What's the right time horizon for your business plan? Here's SCORE mentor Carl Woodard. 

    Carl: A lot of people think that if they're not making it within that 90 days that you mentioned, then they need to close up shop and leave. They don't realize that the cash flow doesn't come in from day one, and so that's all part of the planning process. I would say, when you're putting together a plan, it should be for a fiscal year, one year period, and then do your financial projections for at least another year or two, especially if you're going to go borrow money for your business, because the financial folks and people that want to loan the money to you will want to know what you're thinking about after that first year. So, I would say, at least, cover a three-year horizon, but pay special attention to that first year you're in business. But of course, you're always adjusting it. If you're a little behind or a little ahead of your schedule, then you can adjust your current year to make it more realistic.

  • Bill Ellermeyer - Building a Work Portfolio instead of Finding a Job (G1317)

    Here's a 1 minute highlight from one of our Exit Coach Network Shows. Find the full interview at www.ExitCoachRadio.com -- just click "Exit Coach Network" in the "LISTEN" section and click on the show name to hear the full interview!


    Bill Ellerymeyer discusses the changing job market, the portfolio approach, and how to make income while pursuing your passions. 

    Transcript: 

    BB: You're counseling more people, "hey, to get more security, or to get more income, you need to think about a portfolio approach."

    BE: The market has changed so much, so that the today I would say that 60% of my clients, rather then helping them pursue a job directly, we build a portfolio career using their core skills over multiple streams of income. Example, you're an IT guy, so you now become a consultant in IT, but that is project oriented means up and down. So, to supplement that, you add in other things, the most common one is to start by teaching. You know, one night a week, you can marry that with board work, writing, teaching, all of these things go together so that you have an income from three or four sources.
