On this episode, I get to talk with Tim Croll, who has mastered something I love; Serious Play. We talk extensively about:
About Tim: In a world of boring leadership and strategy sessions…. One man stands alone, connecting the complex strategies into easy to understand practical application. (betcha read that in movie voice)
Knowledge is great, I have been certified with multiple coaching programs and hold a Masters in Leadership. But it is the experience that allows us to apply the knowledge into wisdom. I was a contestant on LEGO Masters Season 2 (one of the highest watched reality shows) and this gave me the opportunity to share many of my life experiences, tying together the knowledge of leadership with the wisdom of action. I have had the opportunity to own my business, work in the corporate world and build E-commerce companies into multi-million dollar monthly sales.
But the passion I hold is how to inspire individuals to grow both in their personal and professional lives. To find their purpose and pursue it with all their energy. This impact on others is what motivates and drives my decisions and actions. I do this through LEGO, using ‘serious play’ methods to facilitate learning sessions that change people’s lives. www.timcroll.com
This episode, Vance is joined by marketing and customer relationship expert Meredith Rhoades. While we talk a lot about marketing and customers, the big take away is the necessity that every small business have a CRM (customer relations management) system. even if it is just a spreadsheet

Vance interviews Morry Zelcovitch,
As a child Morry had many problems ranging from hearing thousands of voices in his head to severe depression. He also had a very big mouth, was always getting into trouble and was unbelievably accident prone.
Something inside him made him start looking into the brainwave entrainment field when he began to observe that sometimes, time would seem to move faster and more pleasantly than other times. He eventually made the connection that when time seemed to move quicker the sounds, he was hearing were more rhythmic in nature. And when time seemed to painfully stand still, the surrounding sounds were far more disjointed.
After many years of using other people’s products, with some limited success, he was determined to figure out why these recordings seemed to work only in a minor way, when all of the research he read suggested the effects should be more dominant than what he was experiencing.
He decided that the best route to understanding was learning at the feet of an expert in the field. So he contacted the worlds foremost expert in the field of brainwave entrainment and discovered some invaluable secrets that he could not get anywhere else.
Now he has conquered those extra voices in his head and severe depression, and his mission in life is to help others improve the quality of their lives without the use of dangerous and habit-forming drugs.

Vance interviews Rich Hall, Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) with Silver Fox Advisors, who specialize in small and mid-market business growth and exit preparation advisory services.
Rich answers these questions about preparing to exit your business:
Baby Boomers own about 2/3 of all privately held businesses. Over the next 2 decades, they’ll be looking to sell or transfer their business so they can retire. That’s estimated at $7 Trillion of wealth will potentially transfer to someone else.
Too much dependence on the owner, Too high a concentration of clients (20% of revenue from single client or client group), Services company that relies on people that may leave if owner sells
First, they need to get a picture of what the company is truly worth. It may be worth more than they think or a lot less. Most companies today are valued by a multiple of EBITDA (a form of net profit), They should also look at the company from a buyer’s perspective. What would be the value from a pure investor? What gaps exist in people, processes, systems, sales/marketing, etc.
