  • #72 Emergency room reflections

    Today I wanted to get a little vunerable and discuss the stories of growing up in an entrepreneurs family when it isn't going right.

    We had a bit of a scare and I had to bring my wife to the emergency room. Quite a bit happened and it brought back some feelings and memories.

    I wanted to share today because it reminded me of times and things from my past that may help you gain perspective. You see we had someone pass at the ER and it triggered the memories of my step-dad passing.

    It reminded me of some of the failures that were exposed upon his death. These are things that could easily have been rectified and planned for.

    If you own a business or have a family there are mission critical contingencies that you need to have in place. The cost compared to the protection you provide is minimal.

    While I will not write out the specific policies and financial plans here (Thanks SEC!) please consult a competent financial advisor to discuss. *I do review these processes with my consulting clients*

    I hope this episode gives you pause. More importantly I hope it makes you take action. It only takes an hour to ensure your legacy is preserved. While it takes a little longer to do so for your business it is also a worthy venture.

  • #71 101: Back to Basics

    Today I discuss some real life examples of needing to go back to basics inside business. I break out the key reasons we exist as businesses and how to excel at the little things that make you stand out.

    I do this in preparation for being a judge for the University of Connecticut's Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans. As a judge I was asked to help break down the pitches from these pre-revenue and early income businesses and provide insights. It is a give back very much inline with my phase three for my business and non-profit.

    Take a listen to the teaching points I provided to my landscaper as it is applicable to the businesses I am helping who will add 7 figures in revenue this year using the same pieces.

  • #69 A Nice time to grow 41%

    My client grew his business over 41% by learning his numbers. No fancy ads, affiliate specials or click funnels.

  • #68 Your standard is THE standard

    Recently I had a post garner a fair bit of attention. I talked about how I had delegated out a call that could have a significant financial impact to my business and my family.

    I wanted to break the WHY behind this in greater detail for you here. See so often we end up out of alignment in business and in relationships because we do not have clear intention. (there's a reason this pod is called Intentional Disruption after all)

    If you applied the reasoning from this episode to your business and family life a few things would happen.

    You would make more money, you would have a better relationship with your spouse (and all the bonuses that go with that) and your connection to your children would improve.

    Please let me know the value you receive from this episode by dropping a quick rating and review. The pod is currently top 10% worldwide and we are growing our reach to help other business owners and families truly live their best lives.

  • #67 Let's talk about DEBT baby...

    Today I am discussing the good the bad and the ugly of DEBT.

  • #66 Do you know these key figures in your biz?

    Today I am discussing lessons from the recent acquisitions and consulting clients I have the pleasure of working with.

    Whether you are running a business or want to buy a business the key metrics for success come down to managing the data. Knowing not just the raw goods costs but also the finished cost factoring in labor rates. Many very successful companies are hindered by not knowing their numbers.

    When you're moving from the 1-3m revenue range to the 5-10m range these seemingly small things become exponetially complex. The systems you put in place now will determine the success of your scaling, profit and especially your exit valuation.

  • #65 Claiming your Independence

    Today's episode of the podcast is focused on your independence. Not from British tyranny or taxation without representation.

    I am focusing in on your personal and financial freedom. As a business owner the next 24 months will be pivotal in your ability to create generational wealth for your family.

    It will decide what the face of your community looks like for the next 20 years or more. See during the lockdowns small businesses shut down at record numbers. The setback of wealth inside local communities will have a 50 year recoup attached (if they ever recover)

    Today I share the WHY behind your need to grow your business. Our nation very well may depend on your success.

    With that in mind I am also sharing the primer materials to help you become lethally efficient in business free of charge. Go to https://michaeldemo.com anbd set a 15 minute call with me. No sales pitch, no upcharge. Reference the podcast and I will send you the materials at the end of our call. Not to be salesy but that is a $500 value.

    I am committed to your success and I wish you a truly happy Independence Day.

  • #64 Knowing your Burn Rate

    In the last month I have been guiding select companies for their growth and scale, expansion and acquisitions.

    One of the key pieces you need to know is something that these established businesses were not readily able to produce.

    If you do not know these basics it is hard to forecast and develop a quality plan to grow your businesses through the next phase of the economy.
