GROWING AN IDEA INTO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

Overcoming naysayers. Most business ideas never get off the ground. How do you change that?

From business planning to staffing, to raising capital, manufacturing, and delivery logistics, it can be hard to see beyond the horizon. Most business owners I work with, have some business skills they’re great at – but they also understand it’s not possible to know everything needed to run – and build a successful business. This episode highlights the entrepreneurial journeys of BE Alink, Founder of The Alinker Inventions Ltd. (a non-motorized walking-bike without pedals); Brianne Miller, Co-Founder of Nada (a package-free grocery store); and Toni Desrosiers, Founder and CEO of Abeego (beeswax food wrap) as they share how they turned brilliant ideas into business success. One of the first lessons they share: You cannot be an expert at everything. This means developing your network of competent advisors, business experts, peer group mentors, support persons, and a community of friends and family.

CREATING A SUCCESSFUL EXIT PLAN

If your business is “your baby” – how could you ever part ways?

In the absence of an exit plan, the company’s future and the families’ financial security are often in significant jeopardy. In my experience, the majority of business owners that don’t have an exit plan fail to realize how much money they will need to live a comfortable retired life, achieve their financial goals post exit, or do the things they dream of after retirement. When it comes to designing a successful exit plan, we’ll share the experiences and advice of Dane Chauvel, Founder, CEO and Fisherman, Organic Ocean Seafood Inc., Ross Bonetti, Founder and President, Livingspace, Elyssa Lockhart, Partner, Fasken/Trust, Wills and Estates and Charities Department.
