Kevin Weir - If it is Hard to Turn The Key, You Will Not Get Top Dollar

Kevin Weir, Action Coach, discusses a common problem of many small businesses - lack of processes and systems that make it hard to transition the business.

Transcript: 

Kevin: When you're trying to sell a business, it's a lot harder to sell a business if it isn't a turn-key operation. If somebody wants to walk in and buy a business and all the systems are sitting in the owner's head, that potential buyer is going to place a discount on that business, because most people who are investing in business aren't going to want to just purely operate it on an ongoing basis. A lot of people who are wanting to buy a business want to be able to have some level of ability to let it operate buy itself. The less systems you have in the business, the bigger the discount. So, what we do, is we help them develop and systematize the business such that it can work without them, because our definition of a business is a commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you, the business owner. To the degree it fits that definition is the degree that you're going to have a much more valuable business.

David Roemer - You Can't Manage Your Time if You Don't Track It First

David Roemer of DDR Group, Inc. shares a 1 minute tip from his interview. Hear the full interview for more great tips!

Transcript: 

Bill: It's been said that one of the building blocks of planning is managing your time properly, but how do you do that best? Here's an idea from action coach David Roemer. 

David: To track your time for one week, you really have a much better idea of where you're wasting your time right now. I know I've done it, and I was shocked. I didn't realize I was spending as much time, for example, just doing things like answering emails that really didn't need to get answered right then and there, that could've waited. Doing things like picking up the phone instead of letting it go to voicemail and having to get back to what I was doing after the phone call. Because those distractions kind of throw you off, you waste time. So, tracking your time for a week really gives you a better sense of where you're wasting your time.

Transcript: 

Bill: You know, a lot of business owners would probably start the planning process a lot earlier if someone talked to them with the clarity of this gentleman. Listen to expert planner Joe Siecinski. 

Joe: By far, the biggest challenge that I see, is time. I mean, the foundation for any business, you've got kinda four pillars of your businesses. It's Time, how you use your time, your Destination, where you want your business to get to, you can't get there if you don't know where you're going, Delivery, which is about consistency in the delivery of your product or service, and Knowing Your Money. Before we can do anything, we've really gotta free up some time. So, I have a system called the Small Business Countering System, which is in my book, called Brain Share, and I really try to get 8 hours back in their work week, then we can start working on the business. So, I almost always start with getting some time back in your business, so we can work on the business.

Transcript: 

Bill: People listen to the show for any length of time. You know we talk about processes and systems and the importance of them in your business, but here's a great overview taking it one step further by Tom Bliss. 

Tom: What systems you have in place today or what systems do we need to put in into play, and then how can we automate that? Whether it be technology be technology through sending out emails, birthday cards, just ways to stay in touch with the customers, newsletters, internet radio talk shows. Whatever those things are that help enable these systems to stay in touch. What it really boils down to is, what system to we need, or what system do we have, and how can we improve on that? And that's really where we get at is that, what I see is technology helping us drive that, not that, "ooh I got a great widget, how do I use that in my business?"

Measure Your Way to Success By Using KPIs

One of the things I enjoy about watching a good football game is the commentator’s use of statistics.
