Every time they keep pulling me back to the front lines! How to manage a SmallBiz

How is a business owner supposed to work on building their business when they keep getting drawn into front-line tasks?

How are you supposed to get away from the office when none of the employees will make any decisions while work slowly grinds to a halt?

We take a page out of how big businesses operate and steal a secret from the auto-repair business and apply it to my caller’s problems.

Been reading this on vacation... powerful

An amazing book about how one company created an industry, came back from the brink of death, and is trying to change the world.  I'm only 1/3 through and I'm recommending it to everyone...

Do you own a Blue Collar Business? Listen..

I had a great time being a guest on 'Blue Collar Proud,' the business podcast for those who make their living getting things done!

Check out the show and listen to what I had to say about making a small service business into something that can be sold one day.

What if you were FORCED to buy a business you HATED?? How to buy a business, succession planning

Ever since he was 17, Harry worked for his dad.

The only problem was, he hated it.  No passion for the work.  He never left though because he wants to please his dad.

Now dad thinks it’s time for Harry to buy the business.  What is Harry to do? He wants to leave and do his own thing but he’s afraid that dad won’t love him anymore.

Does Harry have to leave town to avoid his father’s fury?  How can a father create this kind of succession plan?

Watch as I discuss Harry’s situation: https://youtu.be/1aJfJEVZIsk

My Amazing Cape Breton Vacation and your small business -How to Manage a Small Business

I took the kids on a 5-day trip to Cape Breton Island.

We saw the Fortress of Louisbourg, the tall ships in Sydney Harbour, the Alexander Graham Bell historic site, the Cabot Trail and the site of Marconi’s first operational trans-Atlantic radio base.  It was a blast.

In this week’s video, I talk about the trip but also about why vacation time is so important.  You need to break your routine to come up with the ideas that ultimately create value.

Your business is an asset that should be delivering this lifestyle.

Don’t believe me? I’ll show you some cool stuff from an article published in Psychology Today all about why we need to get away.

Watch as I talk about the amazing trip I had and why vacation time is so important if you run or will be running your own business: https://youtu.be/moQ2WJ2v4SA

My Advice to Immigrant Entrepreneurs- How To Buy a Business

Last night I spent 3 hours with a group of newcomers.

India, Israel, China… people from all over.  They’ve decided to pack up and move to a new country and are using entrepreneur immigration programs to do it.

I’ve been speaking to groups like these since 2009 and some of the same topics always come up.

I’ve summarized it in this video where I give my top advice to immigrant entrepreneurs: https://youtu.be/yz037j4grrs
