I think I sit on 20 M&A boards.... you know the kind someone asks you before they buy a business Here is the issue with forming an advisory board first. Most of his students get bogged down, call it procrastination ... And end up never buying a business. My suggestion, go find a deal. A good deal. Get your reps in to find deals. Learn to know what a good deal is. Get your reps in to find financing. Once you move this direction, the laws of attraction start to work. Its a lot easier to form a board directors, and better quality, when you are the CEO of a $2 Million company than if you are a wanna entrepreneur. But hey, that is my opinion, no right or wrong answer here.

Earlier this week we partnered with Business Leader to speak to founders of businesses on preparing a business for a successful exit. Graham Ruddick, Editor in Chief of Business Leader moderated our discussion. Stephen Nemeth and Sam Kavanagh discussed the key topics to consider and we were grateful to Mike Bergin, ex CEO of Pimlico Plumbers who amplified these subjects with his real life experiences. #entrepreneurs #founders #growthbusiness #mergersandacquisitions

What do you attribute your success to? Have you ever asked yourself that question? As a successful business lawyer and founder of my seven figure online business, I’m often asked this question when I’m interviewed by others. So to uncover the secrets behind entrepreneurial success, we asked 25 CEOs, founders, and successful business leaders to share their insights as well.

The most influential pieces of content that helped me as a founder are Zero to One and Atomic Habits. These are just as important to me now as they were when we founded Sinn Studio Inc. years ago. 📘 Zero to One by Peter Thiel - An essential toolkit for all founders, providing a fresh perspective on creating unique value for societal progression. 📗 Atomic Habits by James Clear - Essential for developing good habits, ensuring efficiency with time, and scaling schedules as the startup grows. Four years ago, Sinn Studio was a bootstrapped team of three. Today, we're a 35+ team working on three different products and collaborating with the world's most influential companies to shape the future of spatial computing. The lessons in the books above consistently stayed relevant. They're timeless.

As business owners, we often encounter setbacks and successes along the way. Remember, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." This powerful quote by Winston Churchill resonates deeply in the entrepreneurial journey. #businessowners #entrepreuners #motivationalquotes

There's this video I recommend to almost every entrepreneur and business owner I meet. Why? Three things: 1 // It allowed me to understand (in my previous role as a COO) the stage of business we were in and depersonalise the challenges and issues that we were facing. Instead of feeling/thinking that we were doing anything wrong, it reframed my perspective to know that these were the challenges that come with this phase and that they are temporary and can be solved. 2// A common issue with small business owners is that they are the bottleneck - everything needs their approval, clients want to hear ONLY from them, and they're often also the ones closing the biggest business. The video showed me it doesn't need to be that way if you're intentional about building your operations alongside the business as it grows. 3// It took some experimenting, but I was finally able to resource the team with hires that supported the stage of business we were in by knowing what personality traits suit our stage, making sure candidates knew what environment they were taking on by joining us. If you watch this video (roughly 18 minutes long), I'd love to hear your reflections and what you took away from it! P.s. If you ever get the chance to be in a room with Prof. Loredana Padurean - take it! You'll go away smarter every single time.

The common wisdom is that not every entrepreneur is able or willing to change his or her management style with the changes in his or her growing new entrepreneurial venture, meaning that he or she could become a barrier to further growth. The Art of Letting Go in a Growing Business course covers the areas in which you need to start letting go and why if you don't your business won't grow. For the owner-manager to grow their business, a major skill required is to be able to trust staff enough to be able to know when and how much to ‘Let Go’ of micro-management activities. Should you not be able to do that, will prevent an employee or department to do their job within the organizational structure. This course breaks down the time, area, and amount that Letting Go covers. #businessgrowth #theanswerisyes
