SHOW NOTES
If you’re listening or watching this show then it’s likely you’ve either started and are growing a business or are dreaming of starting a business based on your skills and expertise.
Often we’ll just hang up our shingle as an expert in what we were doing for our previous employer without spending enough time thinking about our offerings, packaging and pricing offers, or how we’ll even get clients.
In this episode, accountant Maddie brown explains her stops and starts at starting her firm and how she ultimately chose to buy an existing firm rather than start from scratch.
Even if you’re already in business Maddie shares some thoughts that will likely have you nodding your head and show how much she understands what we all go through.
So listen in as Maddie shares:
- Why she chose to buy a practice rather than start her own
- The key advisors and resources that helped her make a good decision when purchasing the existing firm
- How she and her firm’s former owner laid the foundation for a successful transition when she took over
- Her best marketing strategy for getting new clients
- Her great advice for letting go of feeling salesy in discussions with potential clients
- The mistake she feels business owners make as they grow
- And her tip for creating a great life while you build a great business
As always listen all the way to the end where I’ll share your cocktail exercise and action step for this episode.
