In this powerhouse episode of The Abundance Mindset Show, Vinney Chopra and Gualter Amarelo break down the mindset and strategies behind building businesses that aren't just profitable — but sellable. Vinney, who started with just $7 and has now built a $1.6 billion portfolio in real estate, hotels, and senior living, shares how he systematically creates companies that thrive even when he's not involved. Gualter, author of Broke To A Quarter-Million, brings his sharp operator's lens to the conversation. Inside, they dive into:
If you turned up to work yesterday, first day of a new week, with a bad case of Mondayitis, feeling like you're getting nowhere working for the man, thinking now is the time in your life when you should be the master of your own destiny, making your own decisions, getting the true reward for your labours, well join the queue. Buyer demand for New Zealand businesses is on the up with large business brokerage firm LINK reporting a record 19% year-on-year increase in would-be buyers signing confidentiality agreements, even though times are tough. You would think in a relatively depressed economy that people would stay put, that going out on your own would be the last thing you'd want to do, but no. It's not just LINK, ABC Business Sales CEO Chris Small also reported a record number of sales. He said business sales were countercyclical to unemployment, with people looking to buy themselves into a job when employment opportunities dry up or they're made redundant. He says right now there's a lack of stock, listings were down 10%, while the number of buyers looking to buy a business was up 30%. You can put that down to immigration, a significant number of would-be buyers are immigrants, but Small says a growing number of those who are just sick of working for other people. “It's becoming a real thing that people are coming to us and going, you know what I'm sick of, I'm sick of working for a big corporate. It's too woke or it's too annoying. I don't like my boss, and I want that financial freedom where actually, if they work really hard, you get rewarded. If you don't work hard, you're obviously going to be in a bit of trouble versus in corporate New Zealand - you can probably work pretty hard and not necessarily get rewarded for the hours you put in.” Now, when I've talked to people who own their own businesses, who are one of the myriad small to medium businesses that are the backbone of the business economy, a lot of them grew up with parents who had their own business. That's the way they saw the world. That you had your own business, that you worked as a team, husband and wife within the business, the kids quite often helped out, and so it was the culture of your family, was to own your own business. In our family, it was a bit different. My dad was adamant that my brother and I should get good jobs. When I signed up to the Broadcasting Corporation of New Zealand and my brother was an officer in the New Zealand Army, that was it for him. It was job done. We both had good, safe, secure jobs. Wonder how we'd look at the media landscape right now, but for him, it was getting a good, secure job. That was the dream. And I'm really interested in those people who are leaving paid employment. Leaving a corporate or middle management role and deciding to go out and buy a business. Can you actually make a go of it if it's not in your bones? If it's not in your in your blood? Because running your own business is hard work and I wonder if people underestimate that when they think no, I'm going to buy myself a little business and everything will be tickety-boo. I won't have to answer to anybody if I work hard, I'll get the return on it, it won't be going to anybody else. If I want to take Saturday off then I can. Well, can you? I mean, most of the business owners I know, especially in the early days of the business, were working seven days a week. Can you actually become a business owner later in life, without any kind of experience? Running your own business – it's not for the faint hearted. I totally understand that for people who don't enjoy their jobs, turning up, sitting down at the hot desk and finding filth is the first thing you do to start your day, having some overpaid tit telling you what to do and when to do it would be really grinding. You know, endless, pointless meetings would sap your soul. And I totally understand the desire to pick up your jacket, walk out, and start doing it for yourself. I'd be really interested to hear from people's experiences and those of you who are business owners, who have been business owners since you left school. And what your words to these would-be businesspeople, what your words of wisdom might be to them. What would you tell those who are looking to leave the corporate world, where they've been a paid employee for the most of their working life, they're now in their 30s or 40s, and they've had a gutsful. And they want to buy a business and get out there and make something of themselves. What would you tell them? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In This Episode What if selling your business felt more like a calculated strategy than a hopeful gamble? In this episode of the System Simplified podcast, host Adi Klevit talks with business consultant and author David Barnett about the hidden complexities of buying and selling small businesses—and how systems play a pivotal role in both. David shares his journey from frustrated business broker to process-driven consultant, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what really drives successful business transactions. He breaks down the seller's journey into distinct phases: from valuation and packaging to buyer interaction and due diligence. David also reveals how lack of documentation and disorganized operations can derail a deal—or significantly lower a company's value. This episode is packed with practical advice for both business owners looking to exit and buyers looking for peace of mind.
What if you could escape the grind of business ownership and step into a new chapter with confidence and insight? In our latest episode, we welcome John Martinka from Martinka Consulting, also known as "The Escape Artist," who shares his expertise on transitioning out of a business. John's unique journey into consulting, fueled by a blend of serendipity and mastermind group inspiration, is as enlightening as it is motivating. We explore the intriguing dynamics of business sales, where well-managed, profitable businesses find buyers despite an inefficient market. The conversation highlights the power of referrals in opening new doors and the art of matching enthusiastic, experienced buyers with honest and well-run businesses. Navigating through the complexities of business transitions, we underscore the critical need for a well-thought-out exit strategy. John brings to light the importance of having a clear motivation behind selling, especially for those not planning to retire soon, to avoid skepticism from potential buyers. Through insightful stories, like that of a business owner who boosted profits by effectively delegating tasks, we unravel the benefits of reducing owner dependency. Delve into the MAC and MRE frameworks for assessing readiness and compatibility, and discover why less owner involvement can lead to seamless transitions. This episode is packed with valuable insights that aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of selling a business successfully.

Nearly one billion dollars is still owed as the deadline for Covid-era loans approaches. Inland Revenue says many Small Business Cashflow loans will default in June if not paid off. About 130,000 businesses were issued the loans, totalling $2.4 billion. ABC Business Sales Managing Director Chris Small told Mike Hosking he's not surprised so many owners haven't paid it back yet. He says there were no personal guarantees or general security agreements, so it was a free hit for business owners. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this podcast we go into 5 powerful reasons you must KNOW YOUR NUMBERS to GROW A BACKBONE with your Business Sales. Discover just how empowering it is to do this simple calculation using the Financial Model Calculator I outline in this podcast. We also go back and listen to a key part of the Mark Jackson interview where he outlines how his father was the one to challenge him then change his whole business experience by doing the numbers and knowing the numbers. Here are just some of the key points: 5 Powerful Reasons to Know Your Costs, Charge What You're Worth, and Stop Discounting 1. Profit Protection – Know if You're Winning or Losing If you don't know your true costs and minimum charge-out rate, you're flying blind. Every deal could unknowingly be losing you money. Knowing your margins means you can confidently say yes to profit and no to loss-making work. "If you don't measure it, you can't manage it." 2. Strategic Pricing – Charge What You're Worth Understanding your cost structure helps you price intentionally, not emotionally. This allows you to move from being a price-taker to a value-maker. You stop undercharging and start positioning your offer with confidence and credibility. "Cheap pricing often signals cheap value." 3. Discounting Destroys Profit (Fast!) A 10% discount might seem small, but it can wipe out 50% or more of your profit margin. Unless you dramatically increase your sales volume (which often doesn't happen), you're simply working harder for less. Know your break-even point and protect your profits. "Discounting is a silent profit killer." 4. Smarter Deal Decisions – Say NO When You Must When you know your costs and minimum charge-out rate, you can walk away from bad deals with confidence. Some clients or jobs cost more than they bring in. Your pricing clarity gives you the power to make better decisions and avoid draining your resources. "Not all revenue is good revenue." 5. Build a Sustainable, Scalable Business A business built on random pricing and gut-feel discounts is not scalable. But when you have structured, strategic pricing based on real numbers, you build repeatable, profitable growth. This is the foundation for long-term sustainability and business success. "Real businesses run on numbers, not guesswork." Take Action: Review and calculate your minimum charge-out rate. Know your fixed and variable costs. Stop discounting—start selling value. Train your team to price confidently. Build a business that grows with profit, not panic. Need help with this?

What things do you need to eliminate out of your life in order to create time for achieving the outcome of what you desire to have? 3. What business do you think you're in, what business are you really in, what business do you need to be in? 4. Don't let others tell you how to run your business, you say how you want to run your business. 5. People are googling hair products more than haircuts. Why not target the products you use to the 7 mile radius around you? 6. Once you target clients, run a retarget ad to get them in your salon. 7. Hourly employees can pack orders, stylists can create videos with a QR code to share how to use the products. 8. Ask coaches who give disruptive information to show you how they have made more money and run their business more efficiently before taking their advice. 9. You don't rise to the level or your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. 10. Make sure you believe in what your selling, what makes it stand out, why are you passionate about it? 11. If you're using affiliate links instead of selling physical products, you get to control your margins. 12. Saying no to your client behind the chair is saying yes to your team. Have a day dedicated to your team. Look into the Replacement Ladder. 13. 1:3:1 rule: What's the real problem that will fix 80% of the issues, what are the 3 solutions to solve that problem, and what is the 1 that would be the best option to move forward with. 14. Everyone has different goals, and there's not one vehicle to get there. 15. By learning what not to do, you learn what to do. 16. Make sure you're not adding an ignorance tax, failure can lead to massive success.

Key takeaways Strategic Foundations: Business growth starts with creating demand that exceeds supply, driving scarcity to increase perceived value and profitability. The “Three-Part Year” framework helps businesses focus on: Marketing's Role in Strategy: Marketing should focus on generating warm leads that the sales team can convert, reinforcing alignment between marketing and sales. The “best brand campaign is ownership” — creating experiences where customers interact with your product is the ultimate branding tool. Overcoming Tensions Between Departments: Collaboration is key: Marketing, sales, and business strategy must work cohesively to scale effectively. Avoid “looking good but going nowhere” by focusing on growth and scaling rather than aesthetics or superficial metrics. Demand Generation vs. Lead Generation: Demand generation is about creating interest and need through trust, insights, and engagement strategies. Lead generation is the result of demand generation — capturing signals of high intent from potential customers. Navigating Mindsets in Business: Understanding the reptilian, autopilot, and visionary brain modes can help individuals stay creative and productive rather than reactive. Awareness and emotional intelligence are crucial for overcoming workplace tensions and building better interdepartmental relationships. Practical Marketing Tactics: Use introduction events, scorecards, and assessments as effective ways to engage and nurture potential customers during the consideration phase. Experimentation is key: Test new ideas on a small scale to gather actionable data before scaling them. Importance of Long-Form Content: Long-form content like podcasts builds trust and transparency, offering unfiltered insights that resonate deeply with audiences. Shorter content should always lead back to the long-form version to maintain authenticity and context. Communicating Ideas Internally with CAPSTONE: Use Daniel Priestley's CAPSTONE framework to structure pitches: This approach ensures clarity, builds trust, and fosters collaboration, making it easier for stakeholders to buy into ideas. Boredom as a Success Indicator: Scaling success often feels monotonous — repetition and consistency in executing a proven strategy are essential for sustainable growth. Adapting Scarcity Tactics: Even small businesses can introduce scarcity by testing waitlists, exclusive offers, or time-sensitive promotions to create demand.

In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we talk to Albert Fialkovich, President and Managing Partner of the Prospere Companies owner of Transworld Business Advisors of Colorado; Texas: Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth Central & Waco; Nevada: Las Vegas South and Transworld Commercial Real Estate. Tune in as he shares how his father's experience with not selling his business and the challenges he faced with a broker while trying to sell his own inspired him to become highly productive in the industry. "A lot of these deals, when you're good at them, are about finesse, and that's to get a deal closed and know the right partners—like how to talk to a client—because business owners, including myself, are lunatics." In today's episode, we'll dive into the current trends in the business brokerage industry, sharing predictions on how the field will evolve with technological advancements and shifting market demands. We'll also feature inspiring stories from clients who successfully bought or sold their businesses through Transworld Colorado, showcasing the transformative impact of these transactions.
