This week, in Episode 257, David C. Barnett, Jay Goltz, and Lena McGuire talk about their experiences hiring consultants, advisors, and especially coaches. There are, of course, lots of great business coaches out there, but as the owners explain, it's easy to be led astray by coaches who don't really know your industry or who address your specific challenges with their cookie-cutter solutions. And here's a question: Does it matter whether the coaches were successful in their own entrepreneurial endeavors? “I've seen some of these people in the picture framing industry,” Jay tells us, “these people who were coaching and were giving advice to people. And every last one of them failed in their own business.” But when coaching works, it can be transformative, says Lena, who is “absolutely thrilled” with the coach she hired. So how do you tell the difference between a coach who can actually help and one who just talks a good game? Plus: Jay explains why he's thinking about opening a pizza shop. Seriously. Well, sort of seriously.

Before you invest in a franchise, you NEED to hear these warnings!

This week in Episode 256, David C. Barnett, Kate Morgan, and Sarah Segal compare notes on how they market themselves—and their businesses—online. All three are active on LinkedIn, but their strategies, investments, and even their goals are quite different. Are they seeking likes? Credibility? Clients? All three? “Sales and revenue are ultimately the metric we have to look at,” says David. “Likes and shares don't pay any bills.” Plus: Kate just spent what she calls “a boatload of cash” to publish a book. David self-publishes on Amazon—for free. And Sarah? She's not writing a book at all. She hired a VP instead. It's a lively conversation about what works, what doesn't, and how small business owners decide where to invest their time and money.

Buying VS Starting A Small Business with David Barnett   In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, David C. Barnett, a seasoned expert in buying and selling small businesses shares his insights into the world of business acquisition versus starting a new business. We dive into what makes a business "sell-ready" and explore how preparing your business for sale can improve not only its value but also its profitability and enjoyment. If you're considering growth, David offers invaluable advice on leveraging acquisitions as a path to expansion. In this episode, you will learn: The key differences between buying an existing business and starting a new one. Why having a "sell-ready" business can make it more profitable—even if you don't sell it. Strategies for preparing your business to attract the right buyer. How to use acquisitions to grow and scale your business quickly and effectively. Key Takeaways: Sell-Ready Businesses are More Fun David emphasizes that businesses designed with a potential sale in mind often run smoother, making them more enjoyable to operate. Owners of sell-ready businesses tend to focus on systems, profitability, and efficiency, which naturally lead to better financial outcomes and less day-to-day stress. Buy vs. Start: Understanding the Mindset of a Buyer If you're planning to sell, understanding the buyer's mindset is crucial. Buyers are looking for businesses that are stable, profitable, and well-documented. By focusing on what potential buyers want, you can make your business more attractive and profitable. Growth Through Acquisition For business owners looking to expand, acquiring similar businesses can be a faster and often less risky way to grow. By purchasing businesses in other markets or regions, you can take advantage of your existing knowledge and systems, mitigating the risk that comes with starting from scratch. Make It Sell-Ready, Even if You Don't Sell Preparing your business as if you were going to sell it can have surprising benefits. When systems are in place and the business runs efficiently, owners often find themselves less eager to sell because the business is more fun and profitable to run. Bio: David C. Barnett is a former business broker who sold dozens of businesses before transitioning into consulting. His consulting practice helps business buyers and sellers navigate transactions without the chaos of the traditional commission-based brokerage model. He's the author of multiple books, including Buying Versus Starting a Small Business, and hosts a popular YouTube channel offering advice on business transactions and management.

HC#010 Isaac buys a VERY SMALL window replacement company. Actually, it's his dad's and he wants Isaac to do the deal so he can retire six months from now. They're both realizing that this may not be a very valuable business, so, can dad grow it enough in a few months for it to make sense for his son to pay big bux for it? If not, is there any value at all and how should we be thinking about the value of what is there. Even though it's small, it would be easier to take it over than to start something from scratch.

HC#003 You like cash? I like cash! Who doesn't? Well, when the seller of a business promises an ‘little extra' because of undeclared revenues, it doesn't necessarily all fall to the bottom line. I show the caller how we can see if the extra revenue makes sense and detect whether it may be likely that some of the expenses may be paid with the cash.
