I recently conducted a survey of entrepreneurs who are still doing everything themselves. I discovered that the #1 reason why entrepreneurs hold back from investing in support is they still believe that the cost to build a team is greater than the potential revenue growth. Well that's just baloney! In my experience, the fastest, most direct path to making more money is getting things done with speed. And if you are trying to get everything done yourself, well, then it's j... more...

Wow did I get a real world demonstration of the saying, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." If I could rephrase that to the business sale situation it could be, Strategic Value is in the eyes of the particular buyer." We are representing a small company that has a patented and somewhat unique product. They have gotten distribution in several hardware store chains, Lowes, and are going into Wal*Mart next spring. The owners are at a cross-roads. To keep up with their growt... more...

"Kendall, how DO you get it all done?" I hear this question all the time. "What's the big deal?" I asked as I initially shrugged off the question. But over time, I've come to understand that how I run my business is very different than how a lot of people run theirs. So I sat down one day and quickly listed all the little habits, behaviors and strategies I use on a daily basis. When I looked at the list of the small practices, I realized that wrapped together, i... more...

Are you producing great music but not earning the profits you dream of? Do you own a record label but barely making money despite having talented artistes? Well, that's hardly surprising. Nowadays, the music market is dominated by the four biggest music labels -Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music. These companies comprise many smaller labels and companies that serve under different regions and markets. You might think this would make any independent label obsolete ... more...

At the opening of Monaco's new consulate in London recently, Prince Albert of Monaco acknowledged the important contribution British people are making to his country, and said he would like to see more in the Principality. Best known as Europe's premier tax haven and home to the Monaco Grand Prix, the number of Britons living in the world's second smallest country has risen dramatically as the British economy has prospered, and multi millionaires have seen Monaco as a natur... more...

If you are thinking of starting your own business or already have, one of the best ways to protect yourself is to create a backup plan. Depending on what it is that you are marketing, you may have slow times of the year or you might just have slow sales for no reason. Either way, it is always good to have something to fall back on in case you are not meeting your financial goals. Primarily, it is a good idea to have a second service or product to market during your off months. For examp... more...

Who does wish they could find a way to get rich quick with little to no investment risk? If you were to stand before a roomful of people and ask them this question, and then ask them to answer by raising their hands, would it surprise you to see the majority with hands held high? No, of course not. You would probably raise your hand too. There is a certain attraction or lure to the easier path, regardless of what you may subject you may be considering. Nowhere is this statement truer than wh... more...

If you are a business seller, one of the most challenging aspects of the sale process is listening to a potential buyer tell you why your baby is not beautiful. It is hard not to take that personally. A friend of mine is selling her condo and laughingly tells me of a buyer that came in and rolled a tennis ball across her floor to demonstrate that it is not perfectly level and that this flaw should justify a lower sale price. As I said, she laughed about it and did not get upset because she recog... more...

If you were granted one wish what would it be? Most people, in one way or another would wish for more money. They believe that making more money will solve all of their problems and buy them happiness. Many of these people play the lottery, or are always looking for the next get rich quick scheme, but the real reason only 1% of the world's population controls 98% of the wealth is because they know things others don't. What do they know? They know the secrets to making m... more...

As a business what is the lifeblood of the company? Well, if you deliver a product or service of any description then it's most likely to be your customers or clients. It may also be true that your frontline staff play a massive part in keeping the company in front of as many people as possible at any given time. Why do so many businesses place so much emphasis and focus on getting new customers? Potentially they are sitting on an untapped goldmine of opportunity right under their no... more...

For family business owners, the employees, if they are not actually family, they are like family. Many have been there through the bad times and the good. They may have not gotten an expected raise because of tough times. They have been to each other's children's weddings. The boss has helped the employee family with an unexpected healthcare expense. The bonds are very strong. An admirable trait that we see from almost every business owner we represent is the deep concern for what happ... more...
