There's a Seattle area school district in a deep financial hole, as per the state auditor and their own management team.
I don't know the whole story but often well meaning people like the mission and don't understand the workings. Large business, small business, school district, or non-profit, you can't spend more than you take in (for very long).
In this episode I talk about debt issues, understaning financial statements, and how they're tied together.

In our soon to be released book, Exit With Style, Grace, and More Money we cover things an owner should think about (besides getting the business soaring and in tip-top shape).
Buyers should want the seller to think through these things because if no thought is given the chances seller remorse increase.
Listen to learn and here some examples.

It's easy to find good business tips and examples of great competitive advantages. Just as easy to find examples of mistakes and no competitive advantage (competing on price is one that is not-so-good).
Listen to hear everyday examples of both.

It's the Wild West with non-compete agreements. Michelle explains what's going on with:
Non-compete agreements
Non-solicitation agreements
In Washington state
On the federal level
Exempt versus non-exempt employees
And much more
A very timely and fast changing topic relevant to all business owners and buyers.
This was recorded prior to July 3, 2024 and on this date, a federal judge in Texas hearing the case against the FTC allowed an injunction for the plaintiffs only and plans to make a full ruling by August 30. There remains a chance that the judge will rule on August 30 that the FTC overstepped its authority and halt the implementation of the law. Because we cannot be sure, all companies, other than those participating in the lawsuit, should expect the law to go into effect on September 4 and be prepared to notify employees that their noncompetes are no longer valid.

Both the local (Seattle) and national press recently had articles on the drama around Rite Aid's buying of local favorite Bartell Drugs. FYI, it hasn't gone well with 1/3 of the Bartell stores closing in the few years since the acquisition.
A majority of business owners I talk with comment on how they want their employees taken care of when they sell.
Listen for tips on preserving legacy.
