Small Business Owners

“I track my success to the people I know and can reach quickly. My business would not be possible without the quality of my personal network. “ -Dale Carnegie This is the power network in the South Bay. Nothing comes close to the business owners, entrepreneurs and power players in this network.

Here's what you will get: Access to the top entrepreneurs in the South Bay. Here's how it works: This select group meets each week to reconnect with the sole purpose of supporting each others businesses - specifically to give warm referrals. We give leads that are from highly trusted sources. Here's what I want you to do next: Apply for the group on the link below. We will review your application and discuss it with the group to see if it is a good fit. The goal is to find entrepreneurs who are hungry to grow. You don't have to have a huge business, only the fierce burning desire to connect with South Bay businesses. We help you do this by offering tools to scale your business, implement new growth strategies, connect with subject matter experts and get your high level questions answered.

We are all supporting each other go grow our businesses, and the synergy created is greater than you could do alone. Be warned, this is a participation group only. If you want to join just to take deals and not give anything in return then it won't work. The people who succeed are the ones who share knowledge, offer expertise and give domain specific knowledge to the other CEO's A contractor doubled his business after 1 year as a member. An wellness center expanded into another city during the pandemic and doubled revenue every quarter. A business insurance firm wrote new policies for 10 million dollars in their first 100 days. A video production company got 10 new high paying clients in the first quarter. This is a group for people who are committed to taking their business to the next level and want to be surrounded by people who will push them to get there quickly.

We will start the meeting with a round of introductions. This will give you the opportunity to present yourself, your company, and your product or service to everyone else in attendance. After that, we will open it up so that everyone can participate in a general business conversation. We will discuss business issues that are timely and relevant, with the goal of helping each other by sharing knowledge, leads, ideas and resources.

I am a business broker. I help my clients buy or sell a business at the best price possible and as quickly as possible. During our one-on-one private meeting, I will give you clear and concise answers to common questions like: Why do 75% of small businesses never sell? What happens to that 90% of an owner's total net worth that is tied up in the business? What does the buyer want as part of a transaction? What is my business worth? How long will it take to sell my business? What can I do to improve the value of my business and make it easier to sell? What are the benefits of using a business broker? What are the main steps in the actual buy/sell process? If you want the answers to these and other questions, sign up for my video conference!

Schedule your day with a Keystone Habit. Plan this as a daily habit and start in the morning. This could be making a list of the really important things you need to accomplish. 2. Identify the 3 most important tasks that must get done. This is a Keystone Habit. You should plan on doing this daily and get it listed in the morning. 3. Review your goals. Another Keystone Habit that really does need to be reviewed daily. What action steps are required to keep you on point to reach the goals? Make sure it’s something obtainable and makes sense to work on now. 4. Do the hardest task first. Use Support Habits on a daily basis to get this done. If one of your goals is to keep your office clean and you have papers everywhere and you can’t find important documents, a support habit to this would be to schedule a time to re-organize your office. A support habit would be a big note to self: reminding yourself to get a box or bucket to stack your papers in before you go through them. 5. Chunk down a Project (Goal) into small manageable steps. Using more Support Habits on a daily basis at the time that works for you, provide yourself the steps from start to finish and only handle a small part of it. 6. Remove distractions before starting the work. Using Support Habits like shutting down all devices that will distract you are very helpful. Use a timer and stay focused while the timer is on. 7. Create an interruption-free environment. More Support Habits: Put a DO NOT DISTURB note in your work area. Put on white noise to help you stay focused. I like the sound of my laundry room dryer for white noise. 8. Reach out to 1 person each day who you can help or who can help you. Nurture real relationships with time to grow your genuine referral base.
