The Bus Plan: If you got hit by a bus, what would happen to your business?

If you are operating a business with a positive impact that you would like to continue after you are no longer in the business, you need to plan for it.

Succession planning is the process of replacing yourself as the founder with a new leader so that the business will continue to have the same impact it is currently having with you at the helm.

If you have spent a lifetime building a business that has a great ministry for God, why would you leave the continuance of that ministry to chance? Plan for the transition.

Today we are joined with Harry Jones who helps people transition their business to the next leaders.

One question to ponder: What is the impact your business is having that makes it worthwhile to continue after you are gone?

That’s a good question.

Join us today as we delve into that and other insights to guide you on the journey of passing your business on.

I realize this may not be your need today, but it will be someday. Plan today to make that future day better.

Step Up Referrals

Building a business takes a lot of diligent work and time to get up and running. It also takes a lot of diligent and intentional time to rear godly children.

Join us for a candid conversation with Chris Widener about what he did to stay connected with his family while being a professional speaker.

Being gone often can lead to an absentee father figure but Chris put some guardrails in place to keep him on track. It was profound what Chris did to minimize his away time while speaking.

Listen in and find simple and practical ideas to connect with your children while you are away and while at home.

While every business is different, there will always be a way to close the shop and invest time in your children. It is the non-urgent but very important work that every dad needs to focus on.

How can we honor God in our business?

Do business by the book. God says a lot of things about living a righteous, godly life. You need to live out the same standard in your business.

One challenge from today:

Be the voice, not the echo. Be the person who is creating and delivering content to help others, just don’t repeat what everyone else is saying.

Virtual Assistants are very popular these days. But having a successful experience with a VA has much to do with you as it does with your VA.

We have brought on Samantha Prestidge today who has established a US based VA business now for a number of years.

Join us as Samantha shares not only key benefits of hiring a VA but how to make them useful and profitable for you in your business.

It’s not just another employee. Think of a VA as a laser focused expert to help you do all those things in your business you either don’t like to do, don’t have time to do, or don’t know how to do.

In this episode:

Advantages of working with a VA service

1. They will screen applicants before you even meet with them
2. Get the volume of work that is right for you. You don’t need to keep them busy for 40 hours.
3. Get help where you need it most.

Levels of Virtual Assistants

1. SM manager or bookkeeper
2. Entry level administrative assistant – Keep you on track
3. Executive assistant – Higher skills to brainstorm and plan with you if needed

Questions to ask to decide how a VA can benefit you.

1. What do you want to be responsible for?
2. What do you do today?
3. Whatever the difference is, pass on to a VA

Get into and stay in your zone of genius and let someone else help you with the rest of your business.
