There is a lot of talk about supporting local economies and small business owners as we get closer to November. Events like Witness to Mass Incarceration Inc.'s Suitcase Sunday next week are a way to take action in directly supporting them. These are not just entrepreneurs but role models for their communities in how you can turn your life around. I'm happy to be tabling to represent Defy Ventures in talking about how we support second chance entrepreneurship. #entrepreneurship #smallbusiness #secondchances

Should you wear protection..? 👀🌚 Now, if we pick our minds out of the gutter 😅 Let me ask you; 🚘 Would you drive without a seatbelt? 🥊 Would you box without a gumshield? ✈️ Would you skydive without a parachute? 🦈 Would you cage dive without a cage? So why would you go into business without a legal team? 🤷 In my opinion, the two most important people in your start up (apart from founding team) are a solid accountant and a reputable lawyer(s) 💰📝 Without these, you cannot operate as a proper business. You are just faking it, and there’s enough of those online nowadays 😅 Month one of working with Adrian Palladino | Harry Game and Stuart Hatcher of Forsters LLP has been nothing short of a pleasure as they manage our FITFCK A round fundraise, high profile FITFCK management clients and introduce us to superstar board advisors Alex Edmans If you’re not on top of your legal docs, start up life can be unnecessarily stressful. Trust me, my thin hair is testimony to this 😂 #startup #legals #accountants #aroundfundraise

The single reason why most people never succeed with joint ventures is because they don’t take responsibility for the outcome. They leave it up to the other person and guess what - most likely the other person is leaving it up to you so guess what - joint ventures won’t work for you. But when you see a WIN-WIN in the making, then knock down walls to ensure that the WIN-WIN happens because YOU take the responsibility for the outcome.

I look forward to moderate this upcoming webinar with Elizabeth Bagger on the Ownership Strategy which will include a discussion on: 1. Understanding Family Ownership Dynamics 2. Developing a Family Ownership Strategy 3. Navigating challenges in Family Ownership #familybusinessnetwork #thefamilybusinessnetwork #fbnlevant #fbn #familyownership #strategy #challenges

So grateful to have been invited to share my thoughts on ownership strategy and owner dynamics in a family business with the wonderful family business members of The Family Business Network - FBN Levant!! Super excited to join you again and always a huge pleasure to work with you Lina Chehab! So much to discuss... I'll leave you with a couple of questions to ponder: - What's the vision for your ownership? - What are your ownership goals? - Who can own and how are shares transferred in your family business? - Are you able to have meaningful discussions with solid outcomes and decisions in your family business? If not, what typically happens?

As we often say at Family Business UK, #Succession really is a process...not an event. And there are always other roles for the transitioning Gen to go into, to help them continue to share their passion (and knowledge) for the family business, even when the Next Gen become the strategic Now Gen.

https://lnkd.in/gauqUaSc This WSJ had over 10M views over the weekend. Over the past 36 months, we've seen a massive evolution in America's blue-collar industries. The person at the top isn’t your traditional blue-collar worker anymore. Everyone is racing to treat to get a piece of the pie, whichever way they can: + Significant consolidations + Private equity roll-ups + Legacy franchisors holding on or selling off + Emerging franchisors racing for unit growth + Post-MBA search funders entering the market + Quick launches of independent owners + ETA (Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition) + vSaaS and tools like Jobber.com to support operations This is a new era for skilled trades and service-based industries. What do you think will stick and what will fizzle?
