  • Leader OR Bosszilla

    Leader OR BossZilla - which are you?

    Did you know how your employees characterize you can have a definite impact on your bottom line profits?

    Think about the best boss you ever had AND the worst boss you ever had....before starting your own company?

    Did you vow to never be like that awful boss?

    You may be a great leader!  You may have the best of intentions to be a good leader, but also it's the PERCEPTION that matters and a negative perception drags down your profits.

  • The Power of Going All In On Your Business

    In this episode, we're exploring the concept of being "ALL IN" in your business.  What does it mean to truly commit?  How do business owners who have reached seven figures continue to approach this level of dedication?

    It's all about the risk.  When we're starting out we jump right in and take the gamble, but as we grow the stakes are higher and we become more risk-averse.

    It's about:

    balancing your innovation and growth with your stability and consistency;

    implementing strategic planning aligned with your endgame to mitigate the risk; and

    leveraging data-based decision-making for more predictability.

    We call "B.S." on those who say you don't have passion when you're thinking about an endgame.  (In fact, we created a free guide just for you:  the "Exit Strategy Playbook"; GRAB YOUR COPY HERE!)

    The interplay between building a business with the intent to exit and the hesitancy to take risks as the business grows is an intricate dance that requires careful consideration taking into account these key factors:

    • Strategic Decision Making
    • Value Maximization
    • Time Horizon
    • Exit Preparedness

    We've created a guide just for you, the "Exit Strategy Playbook" (5 Things To Do Right Now to Accelerate Your Exit AND Boost Your Profits).  Grab your copy here!

  • Taking a Holistic Approach to Running Your Business

    Lost profits? Cash Flow Problems? Employee Turnover?

    The chances of this happening to you can be reduced when you take a holistic approach to running your business.

    Too many businesses operate in silos, with team members off doing their own thing, and lack of coordination, but look at it from the perspective of putting pieces of a puzzle together.

    An IT Consulting company was great with their technical expertise but fell short when it came to relationship management and business development.

    A Marketing agency loved the creative aspects of serving their clients but struggled with client relationships and financial management.

    Encourage integrated decision-making and look at the broader implications so you can thrive in a dynamic landscape.

  • Rebel in Disguise

    We're not talking about rule breakers or law offenders, but creating a rebel in disguise mentality within your company can help you get out of the day-to-day funk you might be in from dealing with "all of your business and responsibility" for so long.

    It can also motivate your team and increase creativity, build a solutions-based internal environment and boost your company profits.

  • It's Not About The Money

    What a hot topic! I hear this so often when I'm attending networking or mastermind events.

    I'll admit it's not ALL about the money, but if you have a business, it is about the money; if you don't think so, I call B.S.

    In this episode, we tell you why it IS about the money!

    We also share three aspects, and real-life examples, surrounding the "it's not about the money" mentality.

  • Doing Your Due Diligence -- often the killer of a transaction

    The longest part of a buy/sell transaction, and often the killer of the deal....Due Diligence.

    When should due diligence be done:

    • When you want to purchase another company to expand your current business;
    • When you want to exit your business; and
    • When you're looking to create new offers, enter new markets, or making major changes to your company.

    The most common part of due diligence is the financial aspect, but you want to dig deeper to make sure what you’re doing is in line with your current plan, e.g. if you’re purchasing a company will there be synergies that you can utilize to eliminate duplicate costs thereby increasing your profits; will the team and culture of the business being acquired fit in with yours; what is the data telling you about sustainability?

    Explore different areas of the targeted company that you should consider when doing your due diligence.

    Identify the documents you should be requesting.

    Understand the deal structure.

    These are just a few things covered in today's episode.

  • Start With Your Endgame

    I have witnessed so many business owners run themselves to the ground over the years.  We all know running a business is hard work and takes a lot of your energy and time, even when you have a team.  We often struggle to get by now and enjoy life, so we don’t necessarily put much away for that rainy day.  You give a lot; you miss a lot.  And when it comes to the end of the day, we either have little to show for it or what we think our business is worth isn’t what others think it’s worth.  (In fact, only 30% of business owners who put their businesses up for sale actually sell their companies.)
     
     To me, that’s just wrong!  I want business owners to live life on their terms, not only now, but when they decide to hang it up or move on to something else
     
     That being said, in this episode we’re going to discuss why you should start with your endgame when it comes to running your company.

    Find out:
    > Why this is so personal to me
    > How starting with your endgame brings clarity, refined focus and better results faster
    > Discovering the importance of finding the short-game / long-game balance
