At this point, we've had guests share their expertise on the following:   Vetting and validating growth ideas, Creating a strategic growth plan that includes validated ideas, Developing project plans to implement your company's growth strategy, Growing your business through strategic partnerships, and Building your business to sell it for maximum value.   With all the planning tools we've learned for strategically growing our businesses, there's still the possibility that our plans may not unfold the way we envisioned. Our ability to handle unforeseen events or challenges that can halt our plans determines whether we'll stay in the entrepreneurial race.   The real question to ask yourself is, “Are you comfortable with potentially having to pivot?”   This is what our next guest, Christina Barsi, is here to talk to us about. As a former actor turned entrepreneur and owner of a successful podcast production company, she's a shining example of what can happen when you intentionally integrate decision-making and fulfillment into your  entrepreneurial endeavors.   Barsi's career transition experiences as a compelling example for entrepreneurs seeking to establish a personal infrastructure that resonates with their passions.   In part 1 of this two-part episode, Barsi explains why: Creating a personal infrastructure that aligns with your company's business infrastructure is critical for achieving self-fulfillment, Distinguishing between internal data and external data is key to establishing a foundation for business growth strategies, and Calibrating your mindset is necessary for assessing the work that brings you joy and will ultimately enable you to create action plans to bring growth plans to fruition.   Navigating business pivots and transitions effectively requires intentional decision-making and introspection. Join us on this journey of self-discovery as a pathway to lasting business success!  

Do you find yourself saying yes when you really mean no? Or maybe you hold back from expressing your opinions or needs out of fear of upsetting others? If so, you might be stuck in a pattern of passive behavior. But there's good news! It's possible to develop your assertive communication skills. If you're ready to find your voice and communicate with confidence, this episode is for you. In this episode we discuss: The difference between passive and assertive behavior How assertiveness can benefit you in your personal and professional life Practical tips to help you become more confident and effective in communicating your needsThis week's gem: The Scent Room Hit our Homegirl Hotline…we'd love to hear from you! Call or Text us at (310) 363-1067 for advice, to share the things you're proud of, or any gems you think we'd enjoy. Watch video on YoutubeSupport us on Patreon | Get Bravado bonus content + special discounts!Shop our Merch here!Our Sponsors:* Check out Equilibria and use my code BRAVADO for a great deal: www.myeq.com* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: www.rosettastone.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-black-girl-bravado1502/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

We're at the next stop on our Growth Strategies Masterclass this season and it involves exit planning. Now, you may be thinking, “I thought we were talking about growing our businesses, not exiting them!”   But the truth is, exiting your business by selling it can in fact be a smart move especially if you are seeking what our last guest, Carl Nicpon, described as “Freedom 2.0.” Building your company to eventually sell it requires significant work in formalizing business infrastructure and strengthening financial health.   In this latest episode, our producer and host, Alicia Butler Pierre, reveals why she wants to sell Equilibria, Inc. (the underwriter of this show) as part of the company's long-term strategic growth plan. This requires a level of honesty, introspection, and selflessness that few entrepreneurs dare to think about let alone act on.   Along the way, Alicia shares her story in hopes that it will also inspire you to: Focus on specific business infrastructure elements to build or improve, Discover the financial metrics required to attract future investors, partners or buyers, Build a dashboard to track core operational activity, Consider funding as a source for raising capital required to scale operations, and more!   You'll also gain access to additional resources where you can learn more about how to: 1) sell your business, 2) find the optimal exit planning strategist, and 3) get maximum sale value for the business you've worked so hard to build and grow.  

Feeling lost, confused, and overwhelmed in your 20s? Does the pressure to have it all figured out make you want to crawl under the covers? Well, what if we told you that your 20s are actually the perfect time for exploration, stumbles, and unexpected discoveries? In this episode, we'll tap into the wisdom of hindsight and share the advice we needed to hear in our 20s. In this episode we discuss: The value of setting boundaries, prioritizing yourself and your needs The importance of networking and building strong connections that go beyond college How to reframe mistakes as learning experiences And much more!This week's gem: Elemis Cleansing Balm Hit our Homegirl Hotline…we'd love to hear from you! Call or Text us at (310) 363-1067 for advice, to share the things you're proud of, or any gems you think we'd enjoy. Watch video on YoutubeSupport us on Patreon | Get Bravado bonus content + special discounts!Shop our Merch here!Our Sponsors:* Check out Equilibria and use my code BRAVADO for a great deal: www.myeq.com* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-black-girl-bravado1502/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Whether your growth idea involves starting a new business, a new product or service, or pivoting altogether, it's wise to begin with the end in mind. In other words, you need to know your exit strategy.    It might seem strange to think about an exit strategy when you are focusing on starting either something new or doing work in a new way. However, another effective and potentially lucrative growth strategy could involve your exit as a founder or leader, the exit of one of your business partners, acquiring another business, or selling yours.      While there are several myths about how to exit your business successfully, our special guest expert, Carl Nicpon says one thing is certain - “You only have one chance to get it right!”    Carl is a Managing Director at Marsh Creek, a boutique business brokerage and mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. His career journey from school counselor to third-generation business owner to Merger & Acquisition (M&A) advisor brings a wealth of diverse experiences to his clients.   In this episode, Carl debunks several myths about selling a business while also educating us about the selling process. This includes providing a foundation for understanding:  How to increase the value of your business, Why your business needs to be able to operate without you, When to start preparing to sell your business, and What EBITDA is and the pivotal role it plays in determining the value of a business, and   You've worked hard to build, grow, and scale your business. Discover how to achieve what Carl describes as “Freedom 2.0” by assembling the right team of experts that will guide you to selling your business at maximum value.  

Do you remember the goals/intentions you set at the top of the year? How successful have you been in achieving them?? As the initial enthusiasm of the new year fades and we find ourselves in the midst of the year, it's not uncommon to realize that the goals we set at the beginning of the year might not be resonating as they once did. Whether you're experiencing a mid-year goal slump or seeking guidance on refining your desires this episode is for you!In this episode we discuss: Strategies for reevaluating and adapting your goals for continued growth + success How to work towards identity based goals as opposed to destination-oriented goals And much more! This week's gem: Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny OdellHit our Homegirl Hotline…we'd love to hear from you! Call or Text us at (310) 363-1067 for advice, to share the things you're proud of, or any gems you think we'd enjoy. Support us on Patreon | Get Bravado bonus content + special discounts!Shop our Merch here!Our Sponsors:* Check out Chime: chime.com/BRAVADO* Check out Equilibria and use my code BRAVADO for a great deal: www.myeq.com* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code BRAVADO for a great deal: happymammoth.com* Check out NPR: npr.org* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-black-girl-bravado1502/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Have you thought about forming partnerships with other people or companies to catalyze growth at your company? Achieving scale, more revenue, and greater profitability at a faster rate are just some of the many benefits that a strategic partnership can offer.   But you must be careful in forming these partnerships. There are legal aspects to consider like profit sharing, intellectual property protection, and even a plan for dissolving the partnership. These aspects should be formalized in a contract and then discussed, negotiated, and signed in writing to protect everyone involved.   In this latest episode of our Growth Strategies Masterclass, our producer and host, Alicia Butler Pierre, shares details about her behind-the-scenes work with Karen Mills. As a reminder, Karen was the lawyer featured in the last episode. She specializes in contract law, in particular teaming agreements.     The information shared in this episode is a bit unique in that Alicia actually sketches out a workflow diagram (or flowchart) as she describes her work with Karen. As a result, you can expect to:   Learn the process for drafting a teaming or partnership agreement, Discover the different ways to construct a partnership agreement, Gain an understanding of the various types of clauses (i.e., first right of refusal and non-disclosure) you may want to include, and Walk away with a foundation required to form a strategic partnership with confidence.   Talk is cheap. Stop relying on verbal agreements

Hyper-capitalism — also called late-stage capitalism — is what happens when material resources, lifestyle activities, and everything in between becomes both commodified and consumable. In hyper-capitalistic economies, products get invented that no one needs or wants. Celebrities are revered like gods. Inequity is everywhere, and citizens internalize the idea that their worth is measured by some mysterious combination of career success and amassed material goods.Many argue that the United States has entered its hyper-capitalist era, as Americans report that the relentless demands of trying to keep up results in working longer hours, increasing loneliness, and lowered life satisfaction.On today's show: A conversation with New York Times bestselling author Kirsten Powers about the ways in which Americans are experiencing the effects of hyper-capitalism in real time. Here's a preview:[5:00] A laundry list of hyper-capitalism's consequences in 2024[11:00] Europe doesn't consume way America does.
