Business Owners & Entrepreneurs Podcast With Peter Boolkah | Business Coach | The Transition Guy®

I describe the change curve and how it can help you understand the process of accepting change. In a crisis like the one we’re facing, acceptance is the necessary stage that must occur before you can problem solve. Understanding the process of change can help you accept things more readily and prepare for a new future.The first steps are shock and denial. When I started hearing news stories about the virus in China, I did not take it seriously. I couldn’t understand why there was a push to prepare the country for an outbreak at home. After all, there have been other outbreaks in Asia in the past and the effects never traveled very far. In these beginning stages, it is hard to act because you have not yet accepted the gravity of the situation.The next step in the change curve is anger. Anger occurs as acceptance slowly starts to sink in. I was angry that we could have done more but didn’t. I was angry at China for not having done more. In this stage, blame is often passed around. Then comes bargaining. You beg

To them, I would simply say, “don’t be a hater.”I recently came across an ad posted by a guy named Rob Moore, who was offering a free podcast related to how to monetize your podcasting. I had heard of him and knew that he put out great content so I decided to check out the comments to see what people were saying about him.I was shocked by the negativity. Please don’t be a hater, even if you disagree with someone. The comments showed a real attitude problem. And what was it that was so offensive to people? Well, it was a number of things: he was preying on people; he shouldn’t be putting ads out during these tough times; he shouldn’t be asking for people’s email addresses. Now, hold on. Yes, there are a lot of people out there who are really suffering. It’s tragic. But should that stop someone who is

In a paradox, we often find great clarity.

Becoming an entrepreneur is a huge leap of faith.Many of us go from jobs with plenty of security and comfort to becoming our own bosses. This is both extremely rewarding, and potentially nervewracking at the same time.What's interesting is to see the backgrounds that many entrepreneurs come from, as is the case with Clayton Shipton, who went into the entrepreneurial journey from a corporate career.In this video, I talk with Clayton on his entrepreneur journey, and how he came to be the CEO and founder of CLS Money.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high g

This week I interview the directors of Reaction Fire Suppression about their business growth and how teamwork skills have been integral to their success. When entrepreneurs form partnerships with one another, they don’t always work out. But in the case of Sam and Ed, they’ve made their relationship a business strength.When Sam first started out, he was part of his family’s business for a brief period of time. In that position, he discovered his talent for customer engagement. That experience gave him the motivation to start his own business. Sam began selling his own cars but he quickly realized the many challenges he faced.The thing is, success takes more than hard work. Teamwork skills can be an important part of the business growth process because when teams work well together, partners can complement one another. When a partnership works well, each person adds their skill sets to the business and contributes meaningfully. This is what Sam and Ed were able to do once they met one another. Business expansio

The challenges of business growth are numerous. When you start talking about a family run business, those challenges can often be compounded. This week, I talk with Mike Young, CEO and founder of Multipipe. Mike explains how his journey had ups and downs but that his perseverance eventually led him to build the company to where it is today.Getting through the tough moments, however, wasn’t easy. Starting out in business with his brother and father, Mike saw firsthand the issues that can arise when working with family. He describes how the dynamics of a family can complicate the business relationships that are so crucial to a company’s success.  Decisions made in the company could sometimes become problematic and lead to very real problems between family members.Mike makes the point that it’s very hard in general to find a partner who you truly share a culture and vision with. It’s even harder with a family run business. Working independently offers the advantage of being able to follow your own instincts and

✔️SUBSCRIBE✔️https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn1EOlVVgH7c5ppWQeFjWQ/featured?sub_confirmation=1People often don’t realize the importance of effective management. They tend to focus on leadership without making sure that they have systems and processes in place that will allow them to manage their business.The problem of having a business full of leaders is that nothing gets done. The managers are the ones that hold people accountable and make sure that the right boxes are ticked each day. Too many people think that managing is boring compared to leadership. Another important part of effective management is having systems and processes in place. A lot of businesses simply don’t have a system in place. This is why it can be very beneficial to have someone from outside come in and ask questions regarding how the business is actually being run. Systems can be very beneficial for a business because they ensure that things get done consistently. If you know who is doing what and how each task is supposed to happe

Today I am joined by fellow coach, Reggie Shropshire. All managers, directors and business owners have tough conversations at some stage, whether it’s telling a team member they aren’t getting a pay rise, dealing with poor performance, or letting someone go. Having tough conversations is not easy and management is a skill in itself - but there are ways to make those discussions both productive and as least-disruptive as possible.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pain

Today I'm joined by Louis Biron, COO of One Horn Transportation discussing the importance of having an acquisition framework. There is no secret formula to make acquisitions successful. Like any other business process, they are not innately good or bad. Each transaction must have its own strategic framework. The most successful ventures have distinct, well-articulated ideas going in. --------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World’s #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience
