In this episode, I talked about the importance of strategic planning for secretly struggling entrepreneurs.

Hi there, and welcome to another exciting episode of the Leaky Bucket Podcast!

Today, we have a very special guest with us, Laura Evans from SISU Pancakes, based in Cheltenham.

Now, let me tell you, trying to describe SISU Pancakes is like trying to explain a deliciously unique blend of a pancake and a cake - it's simply something you have to experience for yourself!

In this episode, Laura shares her incredible #journey and the #challenges she faced in her childhood that ultimately shaped her into the strong, determined individual she is today. We'll also delve into her career outside of business and how it influenced the qualities she brings into her #entrepreneurial endeavors.

One of the most inspiring aspects of Laura's story is how she persevered through failure after failure until one mistake turned into a catalyst for #success. We'll explore the mindset and values that drove her to keep pushing forward, even when the going got tough.

Laura's outlook on life is truly remarkable. She believes that success is not a destination, but a continuous journey, and she's purposeful in the way she lives her life. She's a true example of someone who has found #happiness and #fulfillment by making conscious decisions and prioritising what truly matters to her.

So, if you're ready for an #uplifting and #motivating conversation with an incredible entrepreneur, then don't wait any longer!

You won't want to miss it!

Darryl is a dynamic, driven Business Consultant and Coach with over 20 years of experience and passion for creating successful outcomes for founder-led businesses.

He is a great connector, team builder, problem solver, and inspirer — showing the way through complexity to simplicity.

Darryl together with his team raise awareness of the fact that as a business owner, if you want to get the most from your life’s work and exit on your terms, then you need to prepare for exit and make your business attractive for a buyer.
 
The problem that occurs when this doesn’t happen is that;

· Only 10-40 % of businesses that go to market actually get sold!
· And, of those that do get sold, the deal is structured in a way that means the owners have to work through an ‘earn out’ period to realise full valuation.
· And more that 50% of these earnouts don’t get completed either because the goal posts are moved, or the owners have run out of energy.


This can be avoided if your business is exit ready, de-risking the deal for both the owners and the buyers.

In this Episode Darryl generously gives his expertise in Preparing a Business for an Exit.

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Leaky Bucket Podcast.

In this episode, I talked about how secretly struggling
entrepreneurs can get a better grasp of the numbers behind their marketing.

I explained how an incredible set of numbers from Google - 70, 10 and 2 - could prove the key to transforming your marketing; how to reverse engineer the entire process for success; and why setting your stall out clearly to potential customers is vital in order to clarify your marketing message.

In this Episode, I tackled about how secretly struggling
entrepreneurs may have set their businesses up to fail.

I explained, through the real-life example of Jess and Ben - who run a design agency - how their business wasn't set up to thrive; how they managed to reframe the way they viewed their work and potential clients; and the benefits that these changes brought about within their business and personal lives.
