Wat als we straks een circulaire markt hebben, maar geen Nederlandse industrie meer om die te bedienen? De verduurzaming van de chemische industrie is geen toekomstbeeld maar een keiharde noodzaak. De sector staat op een kruispunt: zonder duidelijke regels, investeringszekerheid en marktcreatie dreigt Nederland de boot te missen.

In this episode of “Let's Talk Business,” Meny Hoffman sits down with Seth Farbman—serial entrepreneur, investor, and founder of multiple successful companies including Vintage Filings, Vstock Transfer, and Share Media—to talk about what it really takes to build, sell, and scale businesses. Seth shares his journey from sleeping on a couch while launching his first company, to executing multi-million dollar exits, to reinventing himself as a marketing strategist helping others share their story on LinkedIn. The conversation dives deep into the emotional side of entrepreneurship—what it feels like to step away from something you built, how to navigate identity after a major exit, and what founders often overlook when selling their companies. They also unpack practical lessons on CRM systems, client relationships, and how staying top-of-mind can be more valuable than chasing new leads. Seth explains why storytelling is the ultimate business skill, how great service starts with the person answering the phone, and what really moves the needle when building trust with clients. This episode is full of honest reflections and actionable insights for entrepreneurs across any industry—whether you're just getting started or thinking about your next chapter. - This episode is brought to you by Ptex Group's One-Off Clarity Sessions—a game-changer for business owners looking to get unstuck and move forward with confidence.

If you focus on doing good work and solving real problems, the right people will come knocking. CRM isn't optional. It's not exciting—but if you're not tracking your relationships and staying top-of-mind, you're leaving a lot on the table. Details matter. Sometimes it's not the pitch, the deck, or the product—it's the person answering your phone that wins you the client. Learn to tell your story. Your story, is what connects people to your business. And if you don't tell it, someone else will—and not the way you want. The exit isn't the end. You've still got to show up, keep growing, and stay aligned with who you are and what you're about.

If you stifle that creativity, and say, “You must do it my way,” you're likely to lose a lot of people pretty quickly. One of the best ways to avoid the conflict between the business side of things - which demands creativity according to a specific timetable - and the creative side, is to suggest that your creatives give you their own timetable, rather than asking them to hew to one that the business people made. This increases accountability and personal responsibility, and also does wonders for the company culture. The most important element in choosing a partner is to make sure that you have the same vision. If every detail is perfect but you each see the end goal differently, then the partnership will fall apart, with potentially disastrous results. When you work together with a partner, you absolutely must hammer out the details in advance, and put them in writing - even if your partner is your best friend in the world - so that you both understand what's expected of each of you. If you don't, the business may fall apart - or on the contrary, it may work great, but you're doing all the work even though you're splitting the profits.

In today's rerun episode of Let's Talk Business, we're excited to revisit a foundational conversation with Adam Lean, a seasoned accountant, business owner, and founder of the CFO Project. Hosted by Meny Hoffman, this episode focuses on the crucial importance of understanding and managing business finances, especially for entrepreneurs driven by passion rather than numbers.   Adam Lean delves into the common challenges faced by business owners who often prioritize their craft over financial management. This candid discussion illuminates how neglecting crucial metrics can undermine business success, and emphasizes the vital role of cash flow in sustaining and growing a business. Listeners will gain valuable insights into essential financial strategies. Adam breaks down the importance of tracking cash flow over mere revenue or profit, explaining that actual cash on hand is what keeps a business afloat. He introduces key performance metrics—like the number of leads, conversion rates, retention rates, purchase frequency, and average purchase amounts—that drive cash flow and highlights the need for regular monitoring using tools like scorecards. This episode also clarifies the distinction between accountants and CFOs, drawing attention to the proactive, strategic planning that CFOs provide, which goes beyond mere number tracking. The conversation underscores the benefits of virtual CFO services for small and medium-sized businesses, offering a cost-effective way to gain strategic financial insight. Through practical examples, including a roofing company that transformed its business by focusing on targeted financial metrics, Adam underscores the power of weekly tracking and adjustment over waiting for annual financial reports.

Evaluate all expenses to ensure they're contributing to making money. Avoid cutting costs randomly, as this could harm business operations. Instead of relying solely on industry standards, benchmark your performance against your past results to gauge progress and improvement accurately.   https://ptex.co/pandadoc https://thecfoproject.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamlean/
