10,000 subs!!!




10K Subs feels great!!

Did you hear?

I now have 10,000 subscribers on YouTube.

It’s been quite a journey.

Hey, if you want to see some funny stuff, go back 5 years and see what my videos used to be like.

In all honesty, it’s pretty humbling.

I’m glad people are enjoying them and, more importantly, learning from them and avoiding bad deals.

It’s my mission, after all.

I don’t think I have the guts to run into a burning building to save a cat, so it suits me just fine.

Thanks for all your support to this point and all the great feedback and comments I get on a regular basis.

Remember, if you have any friends who are interested in business, have them check out my website and sign up for my list; www.DavidCBarnett.com

Here’s to the next 10,000 subscribers!

Cheers

How does one make a big positive change?

At what sales level can we consider being an absentee owner?


Depends on whether you can afford the decline in sales and efficiency.

Nobody puts more energy and passion into a business than the owner.

Employees simply are not invested to the same level in most business environments.

If you’re going to put a manager in place and step away from an operating business, you need to figure out how you can efficiently observe what’s happening in the business.

Otherwise, the priorities of the business will change to benefit someone else!

Uneven partnerships in Business. Startups or Acquisitions. How to Buy a Business


Sundeep has time.

Charlene has some money.

Miguel has a truck.

Peter has the contacts with a huge potential customer.

How do these four properly structure a business that only two of them will work in to be equitable in compensation for what they bring?

It’s the problem of the uneven partnership and if it’s not handled properly, it becomes the problem of the partnership breakdown.

The Freedom Formula discussed with author David Finkle


The Freedom Formula Interview

Want to be FREE??

Of course, you do!

This week I spent a bit of time with author and business coach David Finkle discussing his new book called The Freedom Formula.

I took the time to read it and I enjoyed it very much.

Most of what I do as a consultant and as a coach through the process of buying or selling a business is focused on the numbers and the way people relate to each other while negotiating.

David’s book is all about how to make the darn business run better and would be a great read for buyers, sellers and high-position employees within any business.

I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve added David’s book to my Amazon Bookstore if you want to get yourself a copy.
