Helping Entrepreneurs & CEOs Build Better Businesses
Building a valuable business is difficult. We all have gaps in our vision. We ALL need help at various times in our challenging journey.
I started, grew, and sold a business over a 10+ year span. I learned what the “business books” tell you the hard way, and how to put them into action to solve real business problems. I specialize in helping entrepreneurs and CEOs overcome challenges to create value in their business.
Building to Sell
The best businesses are the ones that people want to buy. The reason is because those businesses have stability, profit, a solid leadership team, low dependency on the owner/CEO, and make it easy to perform diligence.
Even if you don’t want to sell your business, the best kind to stay in run are the ones that are very attractive to buyers. Having gone full circle in this process I can help you get there.
Outcome Driven Approach
You will have specific challenges you are facing at each stage of your business growth. Most of these challenges are ones other business owners have faced as well. Getting a little help, advice, and information from those that have overcome these issues was such an important aspect of my journey, I want to pay that forward and try to help others.
On a high level, these are the top elements I focus on, in addition to any specific elements you are currently facing in your business:
Monthly Business Review Meetings
Quarterly Goal Structure
Understanding Financials - Measure, Track, Report, Improve
Scorecard
Accountability Matrix
Weekly Targeted Issues Meetings
Corporate Identity / Purpose / Alignment of Decision-Making
Correct and Aligned Leadership Team
Leadership Principles - Working ON Your Business
Ability to Evaluate Employees
Exit Planning Assistance, Sustainability, Owner Dependencies
