Could your business operate for three weeks without anyone calling you?If the honest answer is no, you may have created a demanding job for yourself rather than a transferable business buyers will want.In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt speaks with Daniel Scherotter, business broker, M&A advisor, entrepreneur, and Partner at Filament Business Advisors.Daniel explains why preparing a company for sale must begin long before an owner contacts a broker. Buyers want more than revenue. They want reliable financial records, predictable profitability, documented systems, a capable management team, transferable customer relationships, and a company that does not depend entirely on its founder.Gary and Daniel discuss how minimizing reported profits to reduce taxes can damage a company's valuation, why owner dependence shrinks the pool of potential buyers, and how unrealistic expectations can prevent an otherwise successful business from ever selling.Daniel also shares how strategic buyers evaluate companies differently, why owners must separate personal attachment from market value, and how building the right team can allow an owner to exit without years of difficult transition.What You Will Learn➔ Why waiting until you are ready to sell is one of the biggest exit-planning mistakes➔ How owner dependence reduces buyer interest and business value➔ Why weak accounting and unclear financial statements create red flags➔ How management teams and documented systems make a company more transferable➔ Why the market determines what a business is worth, regardless of the owner's emotional investment➔ How strategic buyers can see greater value than individual owner-operators➔ Why every entrepreneur should build the company as an asset, not simply as a jobAbout Daniel ScherotterDaniel Scherotter is a business broker, M&A advisor, entrepreneur, and Partner at Filament Business Advisors. Having owned and sold businesses himself, Daniel understands the sale process from both the owner's and the advisor's perspective.He helps business owners increase profitability, strengthen company value, improve organizational structure, and prepare for a successful sale before going to market. His work focuses on identifying the factors that attract serious buyers and helping owners avoid the operational, financial, and emotional mistakes that can weaken a transaction.Connect With Daniel ScherotterFilament Business Advisors:https://filamentbusinessadvisors.com/Daniel's Profile:https://filamentbusinessadvisors.com/team/dan-scherotter/Email:Dan@filamentbusinessadvisors.comPhone:804-728-1553Connect With Gary HeldtVisit:https://www.sbadvisors.cc/Connect with Gary on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gary-d-heldt-jr/Schedule a follow-up conversation with Gary:https://calendly.com/gheldt21054/podcast-follow-up-conversationListen and SubscribeFollow Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth for practical conversations that help business owners grow smarter, build stronger companies, and create lasting wealth.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grow-your-business-and-grow-your-wealth/id1521874291

Pop in here every day for a dose of different business building perspective! https://facebook.com/supersizebusiness Supersize Your Business (free) Skool link: https://www.skool.com/supersize-your-business-1654/about #supersizeyourbusiness #supersizeyourbusinessannualchallenge #emotionalintelligence #emotionhandling #EIforentrepreneurs Emotional health is often the missing link to your business success. Learn why ignoring your feelings creates unnecessary hurdles. Many entrepreneurs focus entirely on strategy while neglecting the internal state that drives their decisions. This session examines how specific emotions act as silent barriers to growth. If you feel stuck, it is likely because you have not acknowledged the feelings beneath your current business challenges. Adopting a stronger entrepreneur mindset helps you navigate these obstacles. By admitting what you are actually feeling, you clear the path for real change. Prioritizing your emotional health allows you to address the root causes of stagnation rather than just treating the symptoms. Once you stop avoiding your feelings, you can move forward with clarity. Subscribe for weekly professional development insights, and let me know in the comments: what is one emotion you have been ignoring in your work?
You haven't started yet. Or you started, and it's just not working. And somewhere along the way, "figuring it out" turned into doing a hundred random things and hoping one of them finally sticks. In this episode, I'm asking the hard question: is it possible your business has quietly become the thing you're serving, instead of the God who gave you the idea in the first place? I'm walking through five signs you've made your business an idol without even realizing it. Doing a hundred random things. Googling instead of asking God. Following the world's formula. Copying someone else's version of success. DIY-ing everything because trusting God with the money feels riskier than trusting yourself alone. By the end, you'll have the A.L.I. Method, Ask, Listen, Invest, a simple three-step way to trade the frantic hustle for actually hearing God again. Friend, if any of this stung a little… good. That means it's time!

Send us Fan MailWhat if growing your visibility didn't require posting more, chasing followers, or spending days away from your family at networking events?In this episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I'm joined by Jessica Rhodes, founder and CEO of Interview Connections, the world's first podcast booking agency. Jessica launched Interview Connections in 2013 after beginning her entrepreneurial journey with a desire to create a career that allowed her to be home with her children. We're talking about podcast guesting as a visibility and business growth strategy for mom entrepreneurs, coaches, and service-based business owners—and why you don't need a massive audience to make it work.Jessica shares how podcast interviews can help you establish authority, communicate your unique story, build genuine relationships, create reusable content, and ultimately attract the right clients. We also talk about how to position yourself as an expert when you're still questioning whether you're “expert enough,” what podcast hosts actually want from potential guests, and why a great podcast one-sheet can make it much easier for a host to say yes. One of my favorite parts of our conversation is Jessica's reminder to approach podcasting—and business in general—transformationally rather than transactionally. Your success isn't only about downloads, follower counts, or whether someone immediately becomes a client. The relationship you build with the host, the confidence you develop in your message, and the opportunities that grow from one genuine conversation can be even more valuable. In this episode, we talk about: Why podcast guesting is especially powerful for busy mom entrepreneurs How to use podcast interviews to increase visibility and establish authority Why you don't need a huge audience to attract dream clients How to position yourself as a valuable podcast guest and expert What podcast hosts really look for when considering guests Why every potential guest should create a podcast one-sheet How to repurpose podcast interviews into social media, email marketing, sales content, and more Why the podcast host may be one of the most valuable connections you make The difference between transactional and transformational networking Why relationships matter more than vanity metrics The realities of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship Jessica's “secret weapon” for managing stress and expanding her capacity through nervous system regulation One simple action you can take this week to start becoming more visible through podcast guesting Jessica also shares why podcasting can be such an accessible visibility strategy for moms who don't necessarily have the time or capacity for conferences, travel, and constant in-person networking. A podcast interview can happen in less than an hour, while the conversation can continue reaching listeners for years. Reflection QuestionWhere are you trying to create more visibility, growth, or opportunity in your business—and what might change if you focused less on doing more and more on creating deeper, more meaningful connections?And as you think about the next level of your business, ask yourself:What are you doing to support your own capacity for the business and life you're working so hard to create?Connect with Jessica RhodesLearn more about Jessica and Interview Connections: Interview ConnectionsJessica also offers a free podcast guesting masterclass to help entrepreneurs learn more about getting booked on podcasts and turning those opportunities into clients.

Networking can quietly outperform almost any ad campaign but only if you approach it with structure, intention, and consistency. Dr. Ivan Misner, founder and Chief Visionary Officer of BNI, the world's largest business networking organization, reveals how a proven referral system helped members generate over $27 billion in reported business over the last year, and how you can apply the same principles to turn casual connections into a reliable pipeline of high-quality leads. Dr. Misner explains why networking is not about showing up and pitching everyone in the room, but about teaching others exactly how to refer to you. You'll hear how BNI's weekly, highly structured meetings help small business owners turn casual connections into predictable referrals, why the “sweet spot” of around eight hours per week of networking can produce 60–70% (or more) of your business, and how to use every touchpoint from thank-you notes to one-on-ones, as part of a deliberate referral system instead of random busyness. We also dig into the mindset and habits that make networking work for real people, not just extroverts. Ivan shares why introverts can actually excel at networking by listening more than they talk, the simple questions that start meaningful business relationships, and how BNI's visitor hosts help newcomers avoid feeling like “a wallflower in the corner.” You'll learn why networking is a marathon, not a sprint, and how to stay consistent long enough for others to truly know, like, and trust you. Beyond tactics, Ivan talks about scaling a business from “garage to global” while avoiding the “curse of complexity,” the tendency to keep adding systems, rules, and features until growth slows down. He introduces the idea of working in your “flame” instead of your “wax” so you stay energized and effective as your business grows. You'll also hear his perspective on building an intentional legacy, living your values, and making sure your life's “summing up” reflects the impact you actually want to have. https://youtu.be/ghbAwvdGhw4?si=hbmtcpVfSIgssMR8 If you're tired of cold outreach, inconsistent leads, or feeling like you're networking “by accident,” this episode will show you how to turn relationship-building into a repeatable, referral-driven growth engine. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of how to structure your time, choose the right groups (BNI, chambers of commerce, service clubs, and more), and build a network that feeds your business for years to come. Quotes: “Networking is a contact sport. You've got to get belly to belly with people. You've got to go out there and connect with people.” “We want to change the way the world does business and have them focus on helping each other to build lifelong referrals.” “The more complicated you make things, the worse it's going to get. Feature creep and the curse of complexity will kill your growth.” Contact Details: Turn Connections Into Opportunities: Join BNI Today Discover Dr. Misner's Insights on His Official Website Connect with Dr. Ivan Misner: The Father of Modern Networking on LinkedIn Discover Business Growth Strategies: Follow Dr. Ivan Misner on Facebook Follow Dr. Ivan Misner on Instagram for More Networking Tips Transform the Way you Network by Following Dr. Ivan Misner on X
You have a few options sitting in a doc somewhere. A few names. A few taglines. And you keep opening it, staring at it, closing it again, because none of them feel like THE one. In this episode, you're getting a real, unscripted look inside a 15-minute FAB coaching call with new student Gretchen Greene. Gretchen came in stuck, not because she wasn't capable, but because she had too many good ideas and no framework for choosing between them. Listen in as we work through her podcast name, her niche, and her tagline in real time, and watch how fast clarity can actually come when you stop trying to figure it out alone.

If you could pick only one, would you take 10,000 new followers or 10 new paying clients? That simple question exposes a problem many entrepreneurs run into: we confuse attention with revenue, then wonder why we feel “busy” but not profitable. We're done treating Instagram followers, views, downloads, and impressions like the finish line. We want a business model that pays us, supports our life, and rewards depth over noise.We break down why audience growth does not always equal business growth and how chasing bigger numbers can dilute your messaging, pull you into trend-chasing, and turn content creation into a full-time job. Visibility without a clear offer and a clear conversion path can leave you with a large audience that never buys. The alternative is simpler and more sustainable: focus on transformation, not broadcasting, and build trust with the right people who are already paying attention.Then we get practical with a 90-day focus plan built around five moves: the right audience, the right offer, the right conversations, the right content, and the right conversion path. We also explain why a handful of great clients can become your best marketing through case studies, testimonials, referrals, and real market intelligence that helps you sell with clarity.If you're ready to stop optimizing for vanity metrics and start optimizing for profit, hit play, share this with a friend who's stuck chasing followers, and subscribe and leave a review so more business owners can find it.Read more hereBook your free discovery call.Support the show

In today's episode, I'm getting real about something I've been sitting with all week: self-sabotage, and how it shows up in ways I never expected. I always thought self-sabotage meant doing something on purpose to work against your own goals, until I realized how wrong that definition actually is. I'm walking you through the book that cracked this open for me, the question my mentor asks that changes everything, and the specific ways I sabotage myself even while running a successful business. I'm also talking about control, the armor I've carried most of my life, and a phrase I heard recently that hit me harder than almost anything has in a long time. If you've ever known exactly what you should be doing and still couldn't make yourself do it, this episode is for you.

First, she experienced a highly public professional setback. Then, just 14 months later, she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor that required major surgery and an extensive recovery.After returning to work, Becca faced a deceptively simple decision: attend an important executive meeting or put her daughter on the school bus.

In this episode, Bradley shares 10 new tools and strategies for Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Walmart sellers, covering AI research, ad tactics, inventory, indexing, and smarter profit tracking. What if you could uncover keyword indexing problems, research entire Amazon niches with AI, monitor sales across marketplaces, and find new advertising opportunities in a fraction of the time? In this episode, Bradley Sutton breaks down 10 new Helium 10 tools and strategies, plus 2 bonuses, built to help Amazon, TikTok Shop, and Walmart sellers make faster, more informed decisions. The episode dives heavily into new Helium 10 MCP capabilities, including Black Box Niche research, historical price, BSR, review, and search volume data, Index Checker, Product Targeting, and competitor research. Bradley demonstrates how these tools can work together with Claude to uncover niche opportunities, analyze competitors, identify keyword gaps, and find potential product targets without jumping manually between multiple reports. There are also updates designed to improve everyday operations. Sellers can now check keyword indexing directly from Keyword Tracker, use prebuilt advertising tactics and bid rules, monitor TikTok Shop performance through Seller Pulse, view Walmart inventory levels, account for indirect business costs inside Profits, and gain greater visibility into AWD inventory. Each feature is connected to a practical strategy for protecting profitability, improving advertising, or spotting problems before they become bigger issues. The biggest takeaway is that these aren't just new buttons to click. They're opportunities to combine AI, automation, and better data into smarter workflows for your e-commerce business. Whether you're researching your next product, optimizing PPC, watching inventory, or figuring out why a keyword suddenly stopped ranking, the right data can help you act faster and make better decisions before your competitors do.

A property may look like the perfect investment, but unexpected repairs, poor tenants, weak planning, or the wrong financing can quickly turn an opportunity into an expensive lesson.In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, guest host Sandra Bempah of Sandy Financial Solutions speaks with Jeremy Rodriguez, Broker and Owner of D.A.R.E.

The Unconventional Path: Entrepreneurship and Innovation Stories and Ideas With Bela and Mike
In this milestone 200th episode of The Unconventional Path, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman celebrate a major achievement. Only 2.66% of the 4.3 million podcasts globally reach the 200-episode mark, and the team credits their listeners for joining them on this journey of entrepreneurship and innovation. To celebrate, they sit down with Henry DeVries, the CEO of Indie Books International and a former columnist for Forbes. Henry is a master of "Authority Marketing," a strategy that uses book authorship to establish credibility, attract "right-fit" clients, and grow a business. Whether you are a consultant "renting your brain" or a CEO managing a global corporation, Henry explains why a book remains the number one marketing tool in a digital world. The Power of Authority: Henry explains that "authority" literally starts with "author". Writing a book allows you to stop chasing clients and start attracting them by sharing your proprietary processes and expertise. A Book as a Cultural Foundation: Beyond marketing, a book can define a company's culture by codifying core values through stories. Henry shares how legendary leaders like Ray Kroc (McDonald's) and Jack Welch (GE) used books to align their organizations. The "Invisible" Impact: Most people who find value in an author's work may not even finish the book. Henry notes that a book acts as a "three-dimensional business card" that opens doors for speaking engagements, podcasts, and high-level consulting deals. Publishing is the Starting Line: Henry debunks the myth of being "discovered". He provides a practical "marathon" strategy for promotion, including mailing 20 copies a month to key influencers and securing regular speaking spots. Entrepreneurial Resilience: Reflecting on starting his business during the 9/11 crisis, Henry shares lessons on persistence and the importance of listening to what the market actually wants from you. Bela and Mike reflect on how storytelling is the "connective tissue" of successful business communication. They discuss the affordability of professional book production and how a book serves as a lasting foundation for all other media channels, from short-form videos to keynote speeches.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now I'm trying to make it sound fun, like, yay, referral party, but we also call it a one-to-one house call. It's a meeting with somebody where you sit down and you say to them, Here's what's going on in my world. And here's what a good introduction looks like for me. Tell me what's going on in your world and what a good introduction looks like for you. And we don't get off the phone until we make at least one introduction for each other. You do that with five people every month. Who can I introduce you to that's meaningful? Now you might not always get a perfectly qualified lead. That's why you want to do five. You might say, Oh, well, my son or daughter is about to take their SATs to get into college. Oh, I know a great, you know, SAT tutor. I'll make that introduction. All right. Well, I was hoping for someone that was going to buy 10 units, but I'll take the SAT tutor. Sometimes it's that; sometimes it's just relationship building. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Become the most trusted health practitioner in your market & attract pre-sold patients with YouTube → https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/youtube?el=July19Turning YouTube viewers into paying patients has nothing to do with going viral. In this episode, I break down the exact five step system that generated more than 21.4 million dollars in the past two years from a small YouTube channel serving a niche audience of health practitioners.I'll also share how to get found without competing against massive channels, the real psychology behind thumbnails that get clicks, the single most important metric on YouTube, and how to build a content funnel that gets viewers to show up to your practice already pre-sold.Subscribe for weekly strategies on growing your health coaching or practice-based business: https://youtube.com/@HealthpreneurRESOURCES AND LINKS Website: https://healthpreneurgroup.com Podcast: The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim Healthpreneur Website: https://healthpreneurgroup.com ❓COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONSWhy don't people work with me even if my content is good?Yuri explains that people do not work with you for one of two reasons. Either they don't know you exist, or they don't see enough value or trust in you yet. Trust is built by getting people to spend time with your content, which is why long form video works better than short clips or ads.Do I need to go viral to grow my practice on YouTube?No. Yuri says chasing viral views is the wrong goal. His own channel intentionally targets a small, specific audience of health practitioners, sometimes getting only a few hundred views per video, because those views come from the right people who are ready to take action.What is the most important metric on YouTube?Watch time. Yuri explains that YouTube rewards videos that keep people watching longer by showing them to more people. This is why the first few seconds of a video matter so much, and why filler intros or early promotional pitches often cause viewers to leave before the real content even starts.ABOUTI am Yuri Elkaim, founder of HealthPreneur. For over 20 years I have helped health coaches, practitioners, and wellness experts build seven and eight figure businesses online. This channel shares the exact strategies, funnels, and frameworks we use with our clients every day. New videos drop weekly.

You've been staring at AI like it's a magic trick you'll never understand. You've watched everyone else claim they're 10x more productive while you're still Googling how to write a better prompt. Here's the truth: AI isn't going to replace you because it's smarter. It's going to replace you because someone else learned how to use it and you didn't. Geoff Woods is the author of The AI Driven Leader and has spent years teaching normal people how to use AI to solve real problems, not just write better emails. He's worked with venture backed companies, public corporations, and CEOs racing toward exits, and in this episode, he's breaking down the exact framework that turns AI from a glorified search engine into a strategic thought partner that makes you think better, work faster, and solve problems you didn't even know you had. In this episode, you'll learn: The CRIT framework: Context, Role, Interview, Task, and why this four step process is the difference between AI slop and superhuman output Why asking AI questions is the worst way to use it and how making AI interview you instead unlocks insights you'd never think to share The 80/20 rule of AI: why most people waste time automating tasks that don't matter and how to identify the 20% that drives 80% of your results Why cognitive decline is the greatest risk with AI that nobody's talking about and how to use it in a way that makes your brain stronger, not weaker The AI board: how to build custom personas of Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett, and your future self to advise you every single day Stop treating AI like a shortcut. Start treating it like a thought partner. The people who master this won't just work faster. They'll think differently. Thanks to SoFi for sponsoring this episode!
