You started your business for a reason...maybe it was for more control over your schedule or your life, flexibility, or more time to spend with your family, whatever your reason, it somehow got lost in the shuffle.
As you grow that same business you're finding you've lost your ambition; you're feeling stuck in the status quo and can't even remember how you ever thought you'd have more freedom.

If you had an option of expanding your business without starting over and eliminating the overwhelm of handling capacity, would you take it?

If you had an early warning system of operational deficiencies and a continuous process for identifying positive improvements, would you use it?
As business owners, you might already have such a system at your fingertips, but you're not using the right data or you don't know how to interpret it for the best use in your company.
Dive in and listen to this episode.
There are four stages of exit based on both your financial readiness and mental readiness to exit your business.
Most fall in the "stay and grow" phase and unfortunately most get to the "get me out at the highest price" phase. The latter is the desperate phase when you have to get out even when you're not financially ready. This is the phase you want to avoid!
We want to move you from th...

Leader OR BossZilla - which are you?

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:...
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.

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.
As you continue to grow your company it's vital to not only manage your cash flow and increase profits, but it's vital to create the overall company value.
No matter if you intend to sell, merge or leave your legacy to a family member, value becomes a key factor.
A company of great value is profitable, scalable and sustainable. During this episode, we discuss the 3 P's that will get you there.

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" men...
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 y...
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 ...
