• Supply and demand and price elasticity
• Growing a business
• Reaction to government actions
• In a buy-sell deal

Take a listen, it's under 5 minutes.

Sports teams are just that, a team. It's rare one player can do it all. Even Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tom Brady, etc, didn't win every year.

In business a solid team that reduces the owner's role (no owner dependency) is a key value driver.

Listen for some examples and stories about great teams and strategies.

In 2012 I published two posts, one with tips for business buyers and one with tips for sellers. When I came across it in my files I realized those tips are just as relevent today as they were in 2012 (and many decades prior).

For buyers it's about being aggressive throughout the process.

For sellers, it's getting educated on what's involved (like massive amounts of information to provide the buyer and his/her lawyer), that the right buyer is the most important factor, and more.

Recorded in beautiful Antigua, West Indies (hear the roar of the surf).

It's always a great and interesting story when talking about sloppy bookkeeping,, inaccurate financial statements, and anything similar. But let's not forget that many companies have very clean books and the financial statements actually reflect the performance of the company.

In this episode, I discuss a handful of clients who have books and in one case, the financial statements and tax returns, actually match.
