I’ve been predicting the demise of the grocers for three decades! By and large I’ve been wrong or let’s just say it’s taking longer than I expected. Carrie LaFranz in last week's AFR has an interesting take on this subject.
When you think of entrepreneurial success, you might picture a lone wolf conquering the corporate world. But what if the secret to success is collaboration? Kelly Jamieson, co-founder of Edible Blooms, sat down with Mike for the Troubleshooters Podcast over a year ago to share her inspiring journey of building a thriving business with her sister. A year on, I have been reflecting on the invaluable insights she shared.
Back in June 2024, I had the chance to chat with Tom Waterhouse on The Troubleshooters Podcast. We covered a lot of ground, but one topic really stuck with me—the big question most business owners face after selling: what’s next? It’s something I hear all the time from clients, and Tom’s experience sheds light on that particular dilemma.
James Thompson has written a piece in the AFR citing Gary Wiess' advice to CFO’s, suggesting, they focus on the numbers, “of course.”
He goes on to say “At the very basic level, it is the accumulation of the financial data in a cohesive, coherent manner that can be understood.” Sounds simple but as Weiss says, “it’s not always a given.”
