 It's the middle of Summer and the time for reading couldn't be better. Read for help with making better decisions. Read to learn how to establish a solid footing as you go down the road you've chosen and read to find comfort while making important decisions. Read now to take action in the Fall.
In conversations with my readers I've learned that many of you save these weekly emails electronically in a file. Others tend to go more old school and print them out to save in a binder. It seems the ideas, suggestions and tips I write about have a value and for that I appreciate your acknowledgment. In the spirit of sharing something of value with others, I'd like to direct you to a link where you can read or reread many of my past emails. Please visit My LinkedIn Article Section. There are over 125 emails all in one place. Thank you to all of my readers who responded to the last email and took action by reaching out to speak with me. I believe those I spoke with would agree they received answers to their questions and solid direction regarding selling or transitioning out of their company. The offer still stands, call or email. A five minute telephone conversation could make a huge difference in the success of your next steps. Make every day count.

 If you're a business owner today it's not easy. The world is changing crazy fast. Decisions need to be made quicker, the implications can be more impactful and it seems like every day there's another new challenge you know little or not enough about.
So what's an Owner to do? Start by admitting you don't know and follow immediately with identifying someone who can help. If it was your golf swing or getting in shape you'd know where to go. If you wanted travel advice, it's pretty simple. But when it comes to your business, your baby, the passion of your adult life. (Ok one of the passions of your life.) At least some of the decisions coming up are key and will affect you and others long term. So who you consult with is as important as the decisions you make. Most Owners will do the knee jerk move and call their Accountant or Lawyer. But is this an appropriate time for their services? Are these questions outside their areas of expertise? A business coach is a great choice. A coach or coaches could be helpful by providing insights, specific expertise, connections, objectivity, emotional support, cheerleading and a laundry list of other things. But what kind of expertise do you require? Depending on where you are in the life cycle of your company will impact who should help you. Is it a start up coach, grow and improve coach or a start down and get ready for transition coach that would better satisfy your needs? As you drill down the choice will become easier. Make a decision and try it out. If the choice is correct, next time a challenge pops up and it will, you can say to yourself - I don't know, but I know who can help me. As a starting point, I am available for a no charge call or meeting to discuss your current situation. We could end up working together or not. At this point what you need is to drill down, talk to someone who is a good listener, impartial and able to bring fresh eyes to the conversation. I'm sure some new insights would also be welcome. Often accused of being inside my readers' heads, I tend to understand quicker and more easily than others what you might be going through. Offering to help you is my way of saying thanks for being a loyal reader and for graciously maintaining our relationship. So feel free to give me a call or send an email and let's talk about you. Make every day count. Take action now, 'Coach Eric'
A great question and we get to answer it more often than we think. It's typically our choice and we live with the consequences. We also sometimes bring others into the result and are therefore responsible for the impact of the answer on their lives.
So regardless of whether you're making a poor choice in clothing and embarrassing your spouse or a business decision that affects the entire company you need to decide. Would you rather be the one who says I wish I had or the one who says glad I did?
