Jeff Hawkins, CPA is crushing it with thoughtful questions for the “Mastering the Art of M&A” Panel at Atlanta Dealmakers Conference. Words of wisdom from Sara Burden, CBI, MAMI, CMAP, FIBBA, FMAS, Michael Lonergan, Drew Miller, Peter Mangal: - Deals age like milk, not wine. - There’s been a dramatic increase in due diligence. More deals are dying as a result. - A sell side Quality of Earnings is all the more valuable in this environment. - Know your potential buyer’s track record on re-trades. - Select constructive, effective advisors. - Run your business every day like you were selling it tomorrow. Nicely echoes my mantra for every owner working with Level Four Business Solutions: “Always be ready to sell.”

Thanks so much for having us, Family Business Center - University of St. Thomas! One of the great things about these sessions –?and I’m sure Marnie Kittelson will agree –?is that as much as we share insights, we also learn a great deal. There were so many great moments at this session, but one that really stood out for me was an insightful question from a woman from a family business in the Hmong community who asked how to approach marketing in a community that is so culturally unique. It’s such a great question because I think there’s sometimes a perception in marketing that successful brand strategies can be applied almost interchangeably to different communities and contexts. The thinking seems to go: Success is success, even if it was a strategy that targeted a completely different audience in a completely different place. I disagree. My advice when developing a strategy in unfamiliar contexts is to approach the challenge with humility. This is when even the most experienced strategist should throw out their favorite playbook, and invest time in listening, learning, and understanding the customers and the community. A brand strategy, is, after all, about connection.? Thank you to everyone who attended, engaged with us, and shared their insights! #BrandStrategy #GenerationalFamilyBusiness #BrandingWithoutBragging

We at the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC) are thrilled to announce that we have received over 100 submissions for our inaugural RUN THE BLOCK grant and mentoring program. WOW! This is an amazing response for a first-of-its-kind initiative to increase Black ownership in the running industry. Here's some geographic data ??: RUN THE BLOCK has attracted applicants from all corners of the United States, highlighting its broad national appeal to current and future Black retail business owners. Leading the pack, we have New York (11), California (10), Texas and Illinois (9 each), Georgia (8), and Maryland (7). North Carolina also shows strong interest with (7), followed by New Jersey (6) and Tennessee (5). We're excited to see submissions from Florida, Ohio, and Michigan (4 each), Alabama (3), and Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, and Washington (2 each). We also have applications from Colorado, New Mexico, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, Iowa, Utah, and Wisconsin (1 each). Following this list is my very amateur visual map of cities illustrating the geographic distribution of our applicants. I will #dobetter next time lol. We are all excited about the enthusiasm for RUN THE BLOCK and can't wait to see the impact this program will make. It will be challenging to narrow it down to one winner this year, but our teams—comprised of retail owners, investors, small business advisors, brand leaders, and others—are ready for the challenge. Stay tuned for updates! #RunningIndustry #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackOwnedBusiness #RunTheBlock #RIDC #Running4Diversity

Lots of people talk about the damage of the wrong co-founders and let the assumption stand that as long as you don’t choose them everything will be okay. Why don’t more people talk about the magic of finding the perfect co-founders? And how to fuse them together in a way that makes a startup much stronger than the sum of its parts? Why don’t more people talk about finding the most powerful thing that you can build into the heart of your startup before it’s even a thing? Tonight Our CEO is speaking at Aussie Founders Club on exactly that, and we expect he’ll challenge a few conventions on how to pick, pay and bond with co-founders in a wholly unprofessional but deeply necessary way. He’ll also share stories about the amazing people that almost became Maslow’s co-founders, and how there’s no shame in acknowledging that the fit isn’t always right. We date people before we choose life partners…. Why shouldn’t we date them before we choose business partners? Come along! Tickets below.

A fabulous quarterly catch up yesterday in Birmingham City Centre with one of my long-term clients Neate & Pugh. I've worked with this all-female team on retainer since early 2021 and it's been a joy from day 1. These ladies are always open to new ideas and trying different things, they're ambitious and also a lot of fun to spend time with - we always have a laugh! Working with women in business is my absolute sweet spot ?? Why? ?? I love that it's always a collaboration. ?? There's an unspoken trust between us. ?? Relationships (and friendships) naturally form. ?? There's always a mutual level of respect. ?? We want to see each other succeed. So whether you're a woman working solo, or maybe you're leading a small team and growing your empire - I'd love to support you on your business journey. The right words can build your credibility, increase your visibility and help you attract the right kind of clients, driving more inbound leads and then converting them into paying customers. Words can do A LOT! Drop me a DM and let's chat ?? P.S. If you're looking for expert advice on all things employment law or support with the human resources side of your business then the ladies at Neate & Pugh have 100% got you covered - give them a shout ??
