Don’t you hate it when you run into somebody who is always on the take? Yeah, me too.
I have to admit that I am a bit of a noob when it comes to the Twitterverse. I am starting to get it but clearly there are people out there with more time and talent than yours truly.
One of the fun things about running a successful consulting firm is that we have the opportunity to help clients realize their business dreams. One of the ways we do this by helping our entrepreneurial clients develop business plans that are detailed and at the same time functional.
It is particularly rewarding when we have the opportunity not only to help a client realize their dream of business ownership but also to help them realize their dream of immigrating to the United States. Though it may sound cliché’, the American Dream is still alive and well; even today, many citizens of other countries still aspire to live in the United States and to make a meaningful investment in the U.S. economy.
I recently had an article published in the magazine Solopreneur Solutions and in CEO Shift Ezine.
I consider myself fortunate to have my article included in two great publications.
In Solopreneur Solutions you will find a number of really useful articles there and you will find my article on page 19. You can find the magazine at:

CEO Shift Ezine is the creation of Kris Cavanaugh, C.E.O. Catalyst & Coach at Shift Inc.
Kris is a dynamic coach who really puts her clients’ needs first. After talking with Kris, it is impossible not to like her.

Till the next time, I hope you have a great week!
When cash flow is tight, it is difficult to think about your business growth strategy. A friend of mine, Dan Jablons with Retail Smart Guys, believes now is the perfect time to create a growth strategy.
Below, Dan makes his case:
From time to time, we work with clients who are considering selling their business. Ultimately the question that comes up is:
How much is my business worth?
To be certain there are many factors that go into placing a valuation on a business.
The best recommendation I have for business owners is to analyze the value using a few methods to create a range of valuation. This will give you better information and will allow you to understand the valuation from a buyer’s perspective. I will detail a few methods here, but ultimately there is one principle that you should always keep in mind.
The true value of a business for sale is determined by what a buyer will pay.
I have seen many a business owner obtain a valuation for their business and then miss out on a sale opportunity because the buyers just were not there at the price and terms the owner was demanding. It is easy to think that your business is worth more than a buyer will. After all, you have put your heart and soul into your business and this is your baby.
Okay, so now for some good stuff!
