Steve Jobs is 100% right here ✅ I spent six years in the professional services world, consulting companies of all sizes (mainly publicly listed); however, I've learnt more about business and leadership (both personal and team) in the past six months since running my own start-up. The difference is mainly due to ownership, responsibility, and accountability (and having to do some actual work - rather than making PowerPoint slides look pretty and discussing meeting agendas 👀). Running a start-up means actively engaging in every aspect of the business - HR, finance, accounting, sales and marketing. It's about transforming ideas into action, owning and learning from mistakes, and resiliently moving forward. "Without owning something, where one has a chance to take responsibility for ones recommendations, and where one has to see ones recommendation through all actions stages and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes and pick oneself up of the ground and dust oneself off, one learns a fraction of what one can." #consulting #business #leadership #entrepreneurship #startup

Large enterprises are messed up. You’d think they have it all together but my observation is that they often do not. Why does this matter? If you are a consultant or coach you might be afraid to work with enterprises which limits your earning potential by 3-10x. Here’s what to know: - big companies have problems - they can afford to pay well - budgets to get help exist - the bar is lower to add value - engagements can last years Bottom line: Don’t be afraid to work with large enterprises - they are the key to earning a great living as a coach or consultant. Need help? Comment or DM me and I’ll send you some free resources to help you acquire and deliver value to big companies.

One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in my years as an entrepreneur is the importance of recognizing and celebrating my team members. Whenever one of our marketing associates or transition consultants at Elite Consulting Partners helps a financial advisor move firms, I send out an email to congratulate them. This simple action always sparks a long chain of other Elite employees chiming in to share their congratulations and messages of support. Your team has committed to working for you and driving the progress of your company, so it’s essential to foster an environment where they feel valued and appreciated. Remember to recognize their efforts because not only will it boost their confidence, but it will create a sense of community and motivation within your company’s culture. #Elite #EliteConsultingPartners #FinancialServices #TeamBonding #Success #BusinessGrowth #Grind #BusinessTips #EntrepreneurLife #CelebrateSuccess

Things look very different now than they did just a few years ago, especially for businesses. Benchmarks have moved, and priorities have been rearranged.

A commonly faced challenge encountered by emerging leaders in family businesses, is the integrating if contemporary management approaches, into a long-standing family enterprise while preserving its heritage. Here is a story about that same issue as it unfolded in real time.

Eager for evolution yet cautious of familial sentiments, they enlisted the guidance of a renowned consultant, recognised for his adeptness in revitalising family-owned enterprises. Upon examining the Family Business, a consultant found several challenges: 1. The older generation resisted adopting new technologies and managerial practices. 2. The company had been operating without a formal vision or mission statement, causing a lack of direction.

What You Can Learn from Family Business ✅ To many, the phrase “family business” connotes a small or midsized company with a local focus and a familiar set of problems, such as squabbles over succession. While plenty of mom-and-pop firms certainly fit that description, it doesn’t reflect the powerful role that family-controlled enterprises play in the world economy. Not only do they include sprawling corporations such as Walmart, Samsung, Tata Group, and Porsche, but they account for more than 30% of all companies with sales in excess of $1 billion, according to the Boston Consulting Group’s analysis. If your family business is facing similar challenges with its operations, a trusted partner can help.
