Sylvester Stallone is one of the most recognized American actors and filmmakers of all time. After his beginnings as a struggling actor for a number of years upon arriving to New York City in 1969 and later Hollywood in 1974, he won his first critical acclaim as an actor for his co-starring role as Stanley Rosiello in The Lords of Flatbush. Stallone subsequently found gradual work as an extra or side character in films with a sizable budget until he achieved his greatest critical and commercial success as an actor and screenwriter, starting in 1976 with his role as boxer Rocky Balboa, in the first film of the successful Rocky series, for which he also wrote the screenplays. In the films, Rocky is portrayed as an underdog boxer who fights numerous brutal opponents, and wins the world heavyweight championship twice. — Learn More about this episode Premium Episode Released Weekly See Episode Description for details — Enjoy the full experience by upgrading your subscription on your platform of choice.

Among the common goals of members of a capitalistic economy is the creation of wealth. This is often a reason why people own businesses. For an individual, the concept of wealth creation is the escape from dependence on earning funds for current expenses to live a certain lifestyle to building up assets and resources that appreciate over time and are of a magnitude to sustain that lifestyle or a better lifestyle without the need to earn funds for current expenses. Creation of wealth is a reference to accomplishing financial independence through the creation of passive income from investments. There is also the concept of risk involved with the creation of wealth. To be independent from the need to earn income it is ideal not be at risk for the source of that income. Risk cannot be eliminated, and the safety of certain types of passive investments can be debated; however, there is no question that an income source from a business has more risk than an income source from most passive investments. Business risk is significantly more because even over short periods of time the business arena is constantly changing, with markets evolving, management transitioning over time, and other unforeseen changes. A business which is not changing or that is making poor decisions will become unprofitable. This business risk, although variable for each business, will usually be far greater than the risk of carefully making passive investments. For a business owner, the path to wealth creation is to transfer the value created by the profitable operation of the business from the business to the owner taking that value out of business risk. This enables the creation of wealth through the acquisition of safer passive investments that sustain a desirable lifestyle. How does the business owner accomplish the transfer of the maximum value possible out of business risk and into personal investments at lower risk? A sale to a buyer outside the business will accomplish the maximum value transfer of value from out of the business to the business owner. The strategy to accomplish a deriving maximum value from a business through a sale to a buyer outside the business is Prior Diligence. Prior Diligence is the basic strategy for planning to sell the business to a sophisticated buyer who will investigate the business as part of a due diligence process prior to sale. Prior Diligence places the business owner in the view of the prospective buyer and asks, “would I buy this business – if not, why not?” The business owner reviews a diligence checklist and addresses deficiencies of the business accomplishing improvements through Dynamic Planning. The details of the Prior Diligence strategy and the Dynamic Planning method are described in the substack, Owning A Business, https://rickriebesell.substack.com.

"Strategic planning is creating certainty in an uncertain world." – Tim Fulton Strategic planning is essential for success in any business, yet many companies either overlook or struggle with the process. In this episode, Trace Blackmore welcomes back Tim Fulton, President of Small Business Matters, to explore the fundamentals of strategic planning and how businesses can chart their course for success.   Tim shares insights on why strategic planning matters, how to involve the right people, and how to create a plan that actually works. Whether you're a business owner, manager, or part of a team, this episode provides valuable takeaways to help you navigate uncertainty, set clear objectives, and execute effectively. Why Strategic Planning is Critical Strategic planning helps businesses stay focused in an unpredictable world. By analyzing past performance, assessing the present, and setting future goals, companies can adapt to changing markets, industry trends, and emerging technologies like AI. Who Should Be Involved in Strategic Planning? Successful planning requires input from leaders and key employees at different levels. Involving the right people fosters collaboration, avoids blind spots, and ensures that the plan is practical and actionable, rather than created in isolation. The SWOT Analysis: A Tool for Understanding Your Business A SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) helps businesses understand their position. Identifying strengths and weaknesses within the company, along with external opportunities and threats, provides a clearer strategy for growth and risk management. Executing the Plan & Measuring Success A strategic plan is only effective if it's executed properly. Setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) ensures clarity, while quarterly reviews and color-coded tracking (Green, Yellow, Red) help teams monitor progress. Methods like the 12-Week Year and OKRs (Objectives & Key Results) keep businesses on track and accountable. Why Having a Third-Party Facilitator Can Make a Difference An outside facilitator brings an objective perspective, helping businesses stay focused and engaged during planning. Leaders who try to both facilitate and participate often struggle to balance these roles. Involving an expert improves discussions and strengthens team buy-in. Common Mistakes in Strategic Planning & How to Avoid Them Many businesses fail in strategic planning due to poor communication, lack of follow-through, and ignoring potential risks. A strong plan must be actively maintained throughout the year to ensure long-term success. Tim Fulton joined Trace Blackmore to deliver essential insights into strategic planning, emphasizing clarity, involvement, accountability, and the power of facilitation. This episode challenges listeners to create meaningful strategies, fostering organizational resilience and success in any environment.
