Open minds are required for success – new, forward thinking is needed to keep up with rapid and ongoing changes in the global marketplace. Leaders of organization culture change understand the crucial need for new, upgraded skill sets and growth. For culture to be elevated, dated assumptions and veiled beliefs must be put away for achievement of the organization’s true values and goals to emerge. In many organizations, this means leaders must change – personally and professionally – to ensure a successful future. Making changes in an organization’s culture often requires customized training so individuals and teams can adjust, develop, and plan for the challenges the future will undoubtedly provide. It often means choosing the right leadership to develop the best culture for the organization and investing in that leadership culture. Doing so allies leader behavior with operational strategies and the result is an organization that is purposefully transformed to meet the complex challenges now and in the future. Edward Beltran is the CEO for Fierce, which is focused on company culture, how to solve cultural challenges in corporate environments, and alleviating stress in corporate communications.

All too often, business leaders make the mistake of thinking their position’s main goal is the advancement of the company instead of factoring in the main component of their organizations’ success, which is the motivation levels of their direct reports and entry-level employees.

There are many ways to be “stuck” in an organization and hold back change. Organizations undergoing digital transformation often miss the mark — but that’s because they’re looking at technology as the solution, not people. Even for organizations that reopen as the pandemic winds down, the workplace will never be the same: the pivot to remote and blended workforces, the rise of analytics and AI, and other changes have already taken place. Yet many employees and organizations still aren’t ready. In his book, Stuck: How to Win at Work by Understanding Loss, Patrick McCreesh spells out three simple but powerful strategies for getting your people and your organization to “un-stick” when it comes to digital transformation.   He joins Adam to discuss those strategies as well as: How a technology fallacy makes organizations overlook the human factor in digital transformation.

There are three main phases to most businesses. Growth. Scale. Exit. Most business owners focus heavily on growth and scale, but don’t put much thought into exit. Truth is, you should enter into a business with the thought of eventually exiting. Whether it’s passing the torch, selling, or retiring, or just closing it down, you should have some sort of strategy and plan in mind. Joining Adam is business strategist, Tanaha Hairston. Together they discuss: How to begin with the end in mind Clarity to exit: drive sales and new business development How to create Monthly Recurring Revenue (ARR) for every source of Revenue in Your Business How “Breaking Past the Fear” achieves business success And much more!

Business owners, artists and entrepreneurs tend to have unique financial flows and income and expense patterns. Additionally, because they have many deductible expenses, their tax returns do not always reflect their full financial picture. So, the hardest part is documenting income. Also, business owners’ financial documents take more time to analyze, and they require more attention to detail to evaluate and approve. Additionally, many lenders consider self-employed people to be “risky” borrowers (this is ironic because most business owners have an excellent payment history, even if they sometimes make their payments a little behind schedule). Mainstream lenders and most independent mortgage broker are after the “low-hanging fruit” of mortgages for employed borrowers with perfect credit scores (this is about 30% of borrowers)—these are quick and easy to do by following what are essentially basic and routine procedures. This is where Alejandro Szita comes in. Specializing in providing lending solutions to business owners, artists, entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals, Alejandro gets it. He joins Adam to discuss: Why the majority of the mortgage industry is not geared towards the self-employed borrower (business owners & entrepreneurs) Why it’s more difficult to get a mortgage when you’re self-employed How business owners can qualify for a mortgage And so much more!

According to the Business Enterprise Institute, a whopping 81% of business owners want to stop working in their businesses before the decade closes—and two years of pandemic problems have only thrust this desire into overdrive. But while business owners are dreaming about “getting out,” 79% are missing one make-or-break element: a Master Exit Plan. And that’s a huge problem.  An unplanned exit can have devasting financial consequences. You might pour your capital, sweat equity, and tears into building a business and not be positioned to attract buyers upon your exit. You could sell your business but not have nearly enough to retire. Or unforeseen events could shutter your business long before you receive any return on your investment for all of your efforts. “Most business owners are far too busy running their companies to plan for an exit they don’t believe is imminent. But if you wait until you’re forced to go to market or receive an unsolicited offer, the chance of being able to successfully sell your business is less than 20%. The key to success is proper planning,” says leading business educator and M&A advisor Chris Vanderzyden, author of Master Your Exit Plan: Sell Your Business, Preserve Your Legacy (Emerald Lake Books; April 19, 2022). Chris is joining Adam to discuss: 6 business exit strategies—and how to determine which is right for you The 7 steps to selling a business How to answer the million-dollar question: “When should I sell?” The key ingredients that make a business marketable How to prepare for your post-ownership life—and exit with no regrets And so much more!
