Young Guns Movement

Mike Danielson, commercial banker at Waukesha State Bank, joins Young Guns Movement CEO Paul M. Neuberger to discuss the questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves before getting involved in the SBA loans process.

Mike helps aspiring entrepreneurs start or acquire new businesses, helps business owners grow, and facilitates real estate transactions in regards to businesses - from purchasing property for a business to managing properties as a business.

SBA loans are a great way for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs to move from projections to profits. Banks are incentivized to provide these loans based on the support of the federal government should anything go wrong, making them less risky investments. The SBA program, however, is not necessarily ideal for all customers due to fees and tenure. They're also lent at an adjustable rate. 

Tune in to this podcast to see how and if you can qualify for an SBA loan, and if it's the right move for you!

Escaping your cubicle sounds like nothing more than a daydream. And, as Paul Kan says, there are a staggering number of people who are dreaming of exactly that.

The cubicle to some acts like a prison, and to others, it's an amusement park. The mindset necessary to find fulfillment is the true barometer. Are you yourself ready to accept change and view situations and settings differently? Are you willing to open your mind, take a leap, and escape what's holding you down?

As our collective mindset shifts towards entrepreneurship, being a solopreneur, and making our own way through the world on our own terms, Paul says we give ourselves the opportunity to avoid dying in our cubicle - and instead, thriving.

Bringing awareness to your business is the first step in getting sales. Jeff Godbout and Angela Lingle join YG Workshop today to help learn how to bring awareness to Brass Light Gallery and shine a light on their handmade, made in the USA lighting fixtures.

Awareness is key in attracting customers, because if they don't know about you, then they can't buy from you! Part of the magic for Brass Light Gallery is the amazing feeling that people have when they get a new fixture for their home - something that feels like more than decor. How can you describe that in an email? 

Well, maybe an email isn't the best way to bring awareness to your products!

How do you operate a digital photography, videography, and marketing company when you can barely operate a camera? Have faith in your employees and work with them to make them successful. After all, they're the experts!    

Jim Kohlhardt is the owner of Saturn Lounge and Digital Color, two companies that operate in marketing, photography, design, and printing businesses. Jim joined the company, started by his father-in-law, in the midst of bankruptcy - but that didn't stop him from applying the skills that he had to make it what it is today.  

Coming from a career in sales, Jim applied himself where he could be most useful and let the people he hired do the work he couldn't. He talks about how they work with and around the constraints and working habits of the creative professionals in order to make them the best versions of themselves.   

Humble beginnings and excellent stories!

Whether you're in sales, leadership, management, or otherwise,  distinguishing between active vs passive listening and being committed  to giving people time and acknowledgement is a proven way to earn their  trust. Active listening encourages space and time, and also, the  abilities to rephrase or bite your tongue.

Don't be a passive listener - pay attention. Stop looking at your phone,  chasing the cars as they pass the window, and don't be the type to say  "I've got a hard stop." In John Scott's playbook, that's the best way to  let someone know that you don't have time to hear them out.

Our first instinct might be to try to solve problems for people, but in  reality, it's the opportunity to show that you're listening and let  someone else work through their struggles with you that can be the most  valuable.

Company Brewing's business acts a hub for beer, music, events, and more.  Launched by George Bregar in 2014 using his experience in coffee  production and supply chain, Company Brewing has grown to be an integral  part of the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee.

Brewing beer wasn't George's first love though, and it's not something  his business is struggling with. No, that would be growth, expansion,  and giving himself the opportunity and time to work on the business  instead of in the business. Does that sound familiar to you?

In this episode of YG Workshop Presented by First Federal Bank, David  Belman and panelists Mervyn Byrd, Lori Highby, and Ariel Kopac exchange  advice, suggestions, and knowledge with George Bregar to help him take  Company Brewing to new highs and tap into the potential of the business.

The Wisconsin Restaurant Association's president, Kristine Hillmer,  joins Paul M. Neuberger to talk about guidance, leadership, and how both  people and businesses have pivoted in offerings and habits in the  foodservice industry.

A restaurant can be a community staple, a tourist attraction, or just a  darn good place to get a bite to eat. In Wisconsin, the WRA is a  not-for-profit association that is dedicated to the foodservice industry  and advocates on the behalf of entrepreneurs and restaurateurs, which  has been challenging, to say the least, over the last year.

Kristine talks about how safety is a priority, but also how safe dining  truly is, and makes a great point about restrictions placed unfairly or  unjustly on dine-in restaurants in comparison to other industries.

When it's time to pivot, you need to have your mindset dialed in. You  have to do what is necessary when it's necessary because YOU are  necessary. For Dr. Katina Fuller-Scott, this mindset shift happened when  her father started having health problems, and her readiness to pivot  came from something he said to her.

In business, the readiness to pivot can be difficult to build. After  all, who wants to be in the mindset of "if this fails, then...?" But,  you can't let your decisions be made from fear. You have to be ready to  make the switch.
