Lisa Harrington, Founder/CEO of Abiding Strategy and former guest of the show, joins me again this week to talk about what it means to be a leader, and how that’s different from just managing a business. We discussed the transition from being an entrepreneur with no or few employees to leading an entire team, how to learn when to delegate, and the importance of being self-aware of your limitations as a leader. Lisa also talked about how she speaks with leaders about taking care of their own mental and physical well-being, and just how much that plays into running a business.

Join us this week on P&L to learn what it takes to be a leader!

Steve Conwell, Founder/CEO of Final Ascent, joined me this week for a conversation all about optimizing your business’s exit strategy. Steve actually went through a business sale himself years ago and realized that their strategy wasn’t the best and, had he known what he does now, the sale would’ve gone so much smoother. So, Steve founded Final Ascent, where he now works with business owners years ahead of selling their businesses to make sure they’ve got all their ducks in a row when it comes to sellability. Steve actually recommends starting to prepare to sell your business at least 3 years ahead of the sale, and he walks me through his entire process and some key things to watch out for if you’re a business owner who wants to streamline your company.

Join us this week on P&L to learn what it takes to prepare your business to be sold!

"One of the challenges, I think, with international business is it is about relationships, but it's also about process, procedures; you have to have your business practices buttoned up. There's no room for error." - James Sellers

• The Complexities Of Global Manufacturing

Our Favorite Quotes:

• "When times get tough, you start selling." - James Sellers

• “So, you know, there's a life cycle of a business. It extends past our life cycles. So therefore, as a life cycle of a business, of a founder, owner, CEO, it becomes very, very crucial that you start developing that leadership that's going to be able to then go on and take it to the next, take it to the next level.” - Rob Schulz

• "If you are running a business as a family or an individual, and you look at the capital the company is accumulating and you possess that as yours, it changes your thinking. But if you are a CEO hired to run a company and look at those assets, always focusing on the best utilization of those assets, the fact that assets exist, they're worth something, doesn't bother you." - James Sellers
