Growth by Subtraction: The Strategy Most Business Owners MissReleased March 17, 2026

🎯 Episode SummaryIn this episode of Profit With A Plan, Marcia Riner sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and mentor Yarin Gaon to unpack a common growth mistake many business owners make: assuming that scaling means adding more. More offers, more clients, more services, and more complexity. But once a business has traction, that approach can actually reduce profitability and create operational drag.

Yarin explains why profitable growth often comes from subtraction, not addition. Instead of chasing every opportunity, business owners need to pause, evaluate what is truly producing profit, and double down on the parts of the business that create the most value.

For growth-minded business owners, this episode is a practical reminder that focus creates momentum, clarity improves decisions, and profitable growth requires strategy before tactics.

🎥 What You’ll Learn• Why the hustle mindset helps in the early stages but can hold a business back later

• The difference between growth by addition and growth by subtraction

• Why revenue alone is not the best measure for making growth decisions

• How hidden overhead and delivery costs can quietly reduce true profitability

• Why financial clarity and strategic focus are essential before scaling further

⏱️ Timestamp Highlights[00:10] Marcia opens with the idea that stalled growth is often a strategy issue, not an effort issue

[00:31] Introduction to the concept of growth by subtraction instead of growth by addition

[02:15] Marcia introduces Yarin Gaon and his background in entrepreneurship and investing

[03:46] Yarin explains why planning becomes a high-leverage activity as companies grow

[04:18] Discussion on why founders avoid planning and stay in hustle mode

[05:25] Yarin explains how doing more can dilute effort and create mediocrity

[07:07] Founders often try to solve strategy problems with systems and operations

[08:24] Fear of missing out causes business owners to chase hype instead of their strengths

[09:17] Why business owners need to look at decisions through a profit lens, not just a revenue lens

[10:47] Yarin breaks down growth by addition versus growth by subtraction

[12:12] Why scaling from $5M to $20M requires focus, not more complexity

[14:19] Why many small businesses expand too early in their lifecycle

[15:42] Signs a business is ready to move from trial and error to focused growth

[17:58] Yarin urges founders to pause before they scale inefficiency

[21:05] How a financial clarity canvas helps founders see where profit is really coming from

[25:29] Hidden overhead costs can dramatically change how profitable a product or service really is

[29:00] Why profitable growth depends on identifying what truly creates value

[31:05] A practical tip for pausing: tie reflection to a hiring decision, loan, or expansion move

[32:21] Yarin shares his free private equity playbook and how founders can use it

The Sales Engine That Scales – With Alan VersteegGuest: Alan Versteeg, Co-Founder of Growth Matters
Host: Marcia Riner | Profit Booster®
Podcast: PROFIT With A Plan
Topic: Building a Sales Engine for Entrepreneurial Scale
Released: July 22, 2025

🔍 Episode SummaryWhat happens when an engineer applies the law of cause and effect to sales?

Alan Versteeg—former engineer, global sales leadership strategist, and co-founder of Growth Matters—joins Marcia Riner to reveal why most entrepreneurs fear sales, how to overcome “sales ick,” and what truly drives growth: not more sales reps, but better sales management.

This episode is packed with value for business owners, founders, and service-based entrepreneurs looking to scale smart, lead with conviction, and grow teams that sell—without the sleaze.

⏱️ Timestamps & Key Takeaways[00:00] The Sales Engine Every Entrepreneur Needs
Marcia opens the episode with the concept of building a team that sells without you in the room—what Alan calls the real sales engine for scale.

[02:53] Alan Versteeg’s Unlikely Path From Engineer to Sales Expert
Alan shares how leaving engineering, getting fired from his first four sales jobs, and finally treating sales as a profession changed everything.

[05:47] Why Motivation Alone Doesn’t Work
Alan explains how being “the world’s most motivated talking brochure” failed—and how cause and effect became his north star for success.

[09:00] Selling vs. Helping: The Real Mindset Shift
✨ “Selling won’t help—but helping will sell.”
Alan breaks down the psychology behind ethical sales and how intent, not personality, is what persuades.

[11:00] Conviction, Not Charisma, Drives Sales
Marcia and Alan explore why you don’t need to be extroverted to be successful in sales. What you need is conviction and a service-oriented mindset.

[13:00] Avoiding the “Ick” Factor in Sales Conversations
Sales becomes authentic when entrepreneurs stop talking about their product features and start speaking about the problems they solve.

[16:00] The Clear Line Between Confidence and Arrogance
Alan explains why the difference is tact, not tone—and how to persuade without damaging relationships.

[20:40] Objection Prevention vs. Objection Handling
Instead of responding defensively, Alan teaches entrepreneurs to preemptively name their buyer’s hesitation and build trust faster.

[24:00] Scaling the Sales Function Through Standards
"You can’t scale yourself—you can only scale your standards.”
Alan shares how setting cultural and performance standards enables companies to scale through people, not pressure.

[27:05] What Actually Makes a Great Salesperson
It’s not knowledge or charisma—it’s the ability to connect, listen, and sell with values that match the brand. Hire managers who grow people, not just sales.

[29:13] Final Advice: Give Yourself Agency to Sell with Purpose
Alan closes by urging entrepreneurs to “look in the mirror” and realize they’ve created a solution worth sharing. Let go of the imposter voice—and sell with purpose.

Scaling Smart: Private Equity, Profit & PurposeGuest: John Brooks, CEO of Warehouse on Wheels
Host: Marcia Riner, Profit Booster® | PROFIT With A Plan Podcast
Episode Runtime: 33 mins
Tags: private equity, business growth strategy, business exit, scaling operations, stakeholder ROI, team ownership, trailer rentals

🚀 Episode OverviewWhat does it take to grow from 4,000 to over 37,000 assets, expand across North America, and create private equity returns as high as 9x?

In this powerful episode, Marcia is joined by John Brooks, the CEO of Warehouse on Wheels (WOW) — a seasoned financial and operational executive with deep experience in building PE-backed businesses for profitable exits. Since 2018, John has led WOW from a modest startup to one of North America’s fastest-growing trailer rental companies with 35+ offices and 37,000+ trailers.

You’ll hear what it really takes to scale sustainably, work with investors (not for them), and create legacy wealth — not just for founders, but entire teams.

⏱️ Key Takeaways & Timestamps[00:03:00] How John Got Into Private Equity
John shares his 7 “tours of duty” in PE-backed roles and the aha moment that led him to build WOW by acquiring a competitor.

[00:05:35] Vetting Your Private Equity Partner
Not all capital is created equal. John explains why business owners must interview PE firms, check cultural fit, and align expectations up front.

[00:07:00] Why PE is Rocket Fuel for Growth
"You’ve built the rocket and mapped the flight path — now you need fuel." Private equity accelerates momentum if you’ve got a clear vision.

[00:09:45] Structuring Smart Partnerships
Avoid getting pushed aside: run your business like a business, not a lifestyle. Clean books, defined roles, and early clarity on ownership percentages are key.

[00:12:00] Staying In the Business After a Deal
Exiting isn’t required. Many firms want leaders to stay and reinvest. WOW itself has transitioned from one PE sponsor to another — with John and his team intact.

[00:14:00] Sharing Wealth with Your Team
WOW’s employee reward model gives every team member a financial stake in the next sale — creating loyalty and life-changing impact.

[00:16:00] PE as a Culture and Leadership Amplifier
PE isn’t just financial capital — it can bring senior leadership support, L&D investments, and help build organizations that scale.

[00:18:00] What to Expect in the Exit Process
Selling to PE? Expect 6–12 months of due diligence, data rooms, advisors, and distraction. Prep early with experienced legal and banking support.

[00:21:00] Why PE Relationships Fail
Surprises kill trust. Misalignment, lack of transparency, and poor communication are the fastest paths to breakdowns with investors.

[00:23:00] Shifting from Entrepreneur to Executive
Owners must decide: stay and adapt to accountability, or exit and let others carry the vision. Either way, clarity from Day 1 matters.

[00:26:00] Alternative Capital Options
You don’t always need to give up equity. John shares insights into permanent non-control equity, private debt capital, and creative funding vehicles.

[00:28:00] 100% of $100 vs. 49% of $1M
Sometimes less is more. Giving up a slice of ownership can dramatically grow what you actually keep — if it comes with the right partners.

Smarter automations, better leads, more sales — no tech headaches.

💡 Final ThoughtsPrivate equity isn’t the villain it’s often made out to be. In fact, it may be the very thing that takes your business from where it is to where it could be — with capital, leadership support, and culture-enhancing investments that build lasting value.

As John puts it, the key isn’t if you raise capital — it’s who you raise it from and how prepared you are when the time comes.

00:06:00 – Repeatable Tasks = Scalable Growth
Marcia breaks down why 90% of your business should be repeatable—and why skipping process creation early will hurt your ability to grow and hire effectively.

00:07:38 – Don’t Overbuild Too Early
Eric shares a cautionary tale about planning for 100 employees when you only have 2. Systematize in layers as you grow to avoid wasting time and resources.

00:09:05 – The First Red Flag You’re the Bottleneck
Hitting 50+ hour work weeks consistently? That’s your signal. Eric explains how overworking should trigger system creation, not more hustle.

00:10:49 – Escaping the “Busy Week” Trap
When every week feels like a one-off fire drill, you're in a productivity death spiral. Eric offers a mindset shift for recognizing patterns before burnout takes hold.

00:13:13 – Document What’s in Your Head
Why “intuition” is really just an undocumented framework—and how to turn it into SOPs, video walkthroughs, or AI-optimized procedures.

00:15:00 – Delegation Starts with Communication
Learn how to define decision boundaries: where your team has flexibility, and where precision matters. This is the core of sustainable delegation.

00:17:00 – Frameworks vs. Instructions
Marcia and Eric break down the difference between over-documenting and creating effective systems with room for creativity.

00:18:13 – Custom Work is Still Systematizable
Even in personalized service industries, 80–90% of delivery is repeatable. Eric explains how to systemize without losing your personal touch.

00:21:01 – Narrow Your Focus to Scale Smarter
Too many offers? Serving too many markets? Eric and Marcia discuss why simplifying your offerings is the first step to building lean, repeatable operations.

00:23:18 – Build Systems in Growth Increments
Revisit your systems every 6–12 months. You need breathing room to reorganize, delegate, and shift from reactive to proactive leadership.

00:24:52 – From Doer to Delegator
The dream business runs without you. Eric shares how to set up rules, roles, and reliable handoffs that allow you to finally take that vacation—without your phone.

00:26:00 – How to Troubleshoot Processes
Instead of scrapping an entire workflow, learn how to isolate and fix the one step that’s breaking down. It’s faster, more efficient, and more empowering for your team.

00:27:40 – Employees Can Help Build Better Processes
Engage your team in improving workflows. Their feedback can lead to time-saving changes and fosters ownership in the execution.

00:29:09 – Systems = Business Value
Thinking of selling your business? Buyers want processes, not just profits. A documented, repeatable operation is what makes a company attractive—and transferable.

💡 Featured Tools & Frameworks* Mental Download Framework – Extract your expertise into step-by-step guides others can follow. * Delegation Readiness Checklist – Identify what can be handed off with clear metrics and controls. * Process Liberation Method – Escape owner-dependency by documenting, automating, and optimizing.

🎯 Final ThoughtsWhether you're just starting out or managing a large team, your business will only rise to the level of your systems. If you're tired of being the bottleneck and ready to create more freedom, structure, and profitability, start with Eric’s free masterclass:

Crafting Marketing that Connects with Emily AbornHost: Marcia Riner, Business Growth Strategist & CEO of Infinite Profit®Guest: Emily Aborn, Copywriter, Content Marketing Consultant, and Podcast HostIntroductionWhat if your words could do more than just fill space on a webpage? What if they could attract the right clients, build stronger relationships, and drive real business growth?

In this episode of Profit With a Plan, I sit down with Emily Aborn, an expert in content marketing, copywriting, and brand messaging. With over a decade of experience and collaborations in 113+ industries, Emily knows how to turn words into powerful business tools.

We’re diving deep into:
✔ How to craft marketing that feels authentic and engaging
✔ The balance between pain points and benefits in messaging
✔ Why cohesive branding matters across all platforms
✔ The power of specificity and clarity in your content

Whether you’re a business owner struggling to connect with your audience or just looking to refine your brand voice, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you turn marketing into a growth engine for your business.

Let’s jump in!

Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways[00:00:07] Introduction: The Power of Words in Marketing* Marcia introduces the episode and the role of effective copywriting and branding in business success * Guest Emily Aborn has worked with businesses in more than 113 industries, helping them create impactful messaging

[00:02:26] Meet Emily Aborn: From Outdoor Gear to Copywriting* Emily shares her journey from writing about outdoor sports gear to becoming a top content marketing strategist * The importance of storytelling in making marketing more relatable and effective

[00:06:49] Discovering What You Truly Love in Business* How Emily identified her strengths in marketing, writing, and strategy * The importance of aligning your business with your natural talents for long-term success

[00:08:56] The Power of Specialization Without Losing Opportunities* Many business owners fear niching down, but Emily reframes it as recognizing patterns in ideal clients * Why specialization can actually attract higher-quality clients

[00:10:59] Crafting a Clear, Authentic Message for Your Brand* Avoid trying to be everything to everyone—clarity builds trust and connection * Consistency in tone and language reinforces your brand identity * Using recordings of natural conversations to refine messaging

[00:13:40] Pain Points vs. Benefits: Finding the Right Balance* Many marketing strategies focus only on pain points, but is that always the best approach? * Why excitement and aspiration can be just as powerful as urgency and fear * Instead of just fixing a problem, market the vision of a better future

[00:15:47] Selling Without Manipulation* Not every customer wants a quick fix—some prefer a strategic, long-term approach * The difference between marketing to emergency buyers vs. aspirational buyers * Why attracting aligned customers leads to better long-term relationships

[00:20:29] Making Copywriting More Conversational and Engaging* Find your natural speaking style and let it translate into your writing * Avoid robotic or overly polished copy—people connect with authenticity * Using voice memos to refine messaging before writing

[00:23:28] Using Specificity to Make Your Message More Relatable A vague message won’t connect with the right audience * Example: Saying “Imagine biting into a slightly tart Granny Smith apple” is more engaging than just saying "apple.”* * Being specific makes content feel more personal and engaging

[00:27:43] Targeting the Right Audience Without Being Too Narrow Instead of just selling wrinkle treatments, focus on the desired outcome * Example: “Want to look effortlessly radiant, like you just applied the perfect makeup—but without wearing any?”* * Speaking to a specific outcome attracts the right audience without alienating potential customers

[00:28:43] The One-Person Rule: Speaking Directly to Your Ideal Customer* Content marketing should speak to one specific audience per post * Trying to appeal to everyone at once makes messaging unclear and ineffective * Instead of writing one long, general post, create separate targeted messages for different audience segments

[00:30:42] Creating a Cohesive Marketing Strategy* Marketing starts with a great conversation that builds trust and leads to sales * Effective copywriting connects with the audience and makes it easy for them to take action * Your words should reflect your brand personality so potential clients feel they already know you

Conclusion: Your Words Can Build Your BusinessGreat marketing isn’t about tricks or gimmicks—it’s about using the right words to connect, engage, and convert.

Emily shared invaluable insights on balancing authenticity, specificity, and strategy to create messaging that truly resonates with your audience.

[00:12:15] Micro Breaks for Maximum Focus
Mark highlights the importance of taking 3-5 minute micro breaks without technology to recharge your mind and body. He explains how stepping outside, grounding yourself, and taking in nature can refresh your energy and improve productivity.

Actionable Tips:1. Micro Breaks: Take 3-5 minute technology-free breaks throughout the day to reset your focus. 2. Plan, Don’t List: Put your most important tasks on your calendar, not on a to-do list. 3.

Breaking the Growth Ceiling: How to Scale Your Business Without Working Harder "What if you could reclaim 50% of your time and still grow your business? It’s not about working harder; it's about working smarter and more intentionally." – Brandon Gano Are you feeling trapped by the growth ceiling in your business, no matter how much effort you put in? What if the answer isn't working harder but working smarter? In this episode of Profit with a Plan, Marcia Riner sits down with visionary entrepreneur Brandon Gano, who shares his game-changing insights on breaking through business roadblocks. Learn how to identify the hidden issues that are holding your business back and discover strategies to scale your company without sacrificing your sanity or adding more hours to your workweek. If you're ready to take your business to the next level, this episode is a must-listen! Host: Marcia Riner, Business Growth Strategist & CEO of Infinite Profit®Guest: Brandon Gano, Co-Founder of WhadIf Key Topics Discussed:

  1. Where Growing Businesses Get Stuck:
    Many business owners hit a growth ceiling that feels impossible to break through. Brandon discusses the common pitfalls that businesses face and how these barriers can often be self-imposed. Instead of working harder, identifying and addressing hidden obstacles within the business can lead to breakthroughs.
  2. Pinpointing the Root Causes of Business Issues:
    Rather than assuming the solution lies in more leads or additional marketing spend, Brandon emphasizes the importance of diagnosing the real problems. He compares this approach to a doctor's diagnosis—asking the right questions and analyzing symptoms to find the true cause of issues, rather than jumping to drastic solutions.
  3. Scaling Beyond Current Limits Without Adding More Hours:
    The episode dives deep into how business owners can scale their operations without working themselves into the ground. Brandon introduces the concept of intentional business model design, which involves aligning all parts of the business to function seamlessly as a cohesive unit. By doing so, entrepreneurs can achieve growth without the burnout that typically accompanies expansion.

Highlights:

  • Diagnostic Tools: Brandon talks about a free diagnostic tool available on the What If website. This tool asks critical questions that help identify where business pain points and roadblocks are, offering a clearer path to resolution.
  • Historical Business Insights: Brandon provides an interesting look into how the evolution of business structures since the Industrial Revolution has led to the common departmental silos and competition for resources that exist today. He explains how this historical context affects even small businesses and why a new approach is necessary.
  • Practical Steps for Business Owners: The conversation offers practical advice, like conducting time studies to understand how business owners are spending their time. This self-awareness is a crucial first step in reallocating tasks and focusing on strategic growth activities.

Takeaways for Business Owners:

  • Evaluate Your Business Structure: Look at your business as a whole and identify areas where you may be acting as the bottleneck. Start considering ways to delegate tasks and build systems that allow your business to operate efficiently without your constant involvement.
  • Adopt a Holistic Approach: Avoid seeing different functions (like marketing, sales, and finance) as separate entities. Integrate them to work towards a unified business goal.
  • Plan for Serenity: Aim to build a business environment where serenity is part of the culture. Constant firefighting and crisis management are unsustainable. Focus on systems and training that empower your team to handle issues independently.

  2. Why Every Business Should Prepare for Sale: Marty discusses the often-overlooked reasons for preparing your business for sale, including the "Four D's and a B" (Divorce, Debt, Disagreements, Disease, and Burnout). These factors can unexpectedly force a business sale, and being prepared can prevent financial loss and ensure smooth transitions.

    • Identify Your Buyer: Building your business with a potential buyer in mind helps ensure it meets the criteria that make it attractive to future owners.
    • Understand Your Valuation Target: Knowing your business's true value and what it takes to reach your financial goals is essential for long-term planning and eventual sale.
    • Focus on Profit, Not Tax Mitigation: Prioritizing profit over minimizing taxes increases your business’s valuation, making it more appealing to buyers.
    • Prepare for the Long Term: Maintaining clean and profitable financials and operations for at least three years before a sale can significantly enhance your business's value and appeal.

Key Quotes:

  • "Even if you never plan to sell your business, things can happen that might force you into it."
  • "Preparing your business for sale, even if you never plan to sell it, is a wonderful thing no matter what."
  • "A business that revolves around you is very difficult to sell because I can't sell you."

In a this podcast episode of "Profit with a Plan," host Marcia engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. St. John, known as the Father of Affirmations, on strategies to boost profitability in small businesses. Dr. St. John shared insights from his extensive body of work, including his new book, "The Seven-Figure Expert," and discussed his method for accelerating success within 12 weeks.

A portion of the podcast was dedicated to Dr. Noah, who shared his compelling life story, tracing his journey from growing up in a less privileged environment within an affluent community to finding his purpose through self-help literature and spirituality. His first book, "Permission to Succeed," published in 1999, played a pivotal role in his transformative journey.

One of the key themes that emerged in the conversation was the concept of "Unconscious Success Strategies." Dr. St. John discussed how highly successful individuals often unconsciously employ strategies that are challenging to teach. This phenomenon was illustrated using the analogy of learning to drive a car, which goes through stages of competency. Marcia acknowledged this gap in conventional success teaching, highlighting the need to understand and incorporate the missing piece.

The conversation also delved into overcoming income barriers. Dr. Noah shared his experiences and techniques from his coaching, particularly his 12 Week Breakthrough program, which has facilitated significant growth for numerous clients. Marcia expressed her own challenges in feeling stuck and received guidance on breaking through this barrier through Dr. Noah's "power habit system."

The importance of belief in oneself was another core topic. Dr. Noah emphasized the significance of not only believing in oneself but also having a method to cultivate this belief. An example was shared of a client raising $185,000 in private funds after applying Dr. Noah's system. Marcia expressed an interest in understanding systems for progression and was recommended Dr. Noah's book, "The 7 Figure Expert," which outlines his success system.

Simplicity in complex situations was highlighted by Dr. Noah, who stressed the need for a balance between the "inner game" (unseen aspects affecting actions) and the "outer game" (visible elements like offers and traffic) as a recipe for success.

Dr. Noah's Inner Game Mastery was exemplified with the story of a CEO, Adam, who achieved a 600% increase in sales after coaching from Dr. Noah, attributed to mastering his inner game.

The conversation also explored breaking subconscious barriers to success by recognizing self-imposed limitations and bringing them to the conscious mind, allowing individuals to make informed decisions.

The importance of implementing the right systems for success, as opposed to the constant "hustle," was emphasized. Dr. Noah shared examples of clients reaping significant returns on investment by focusing on the system.

Dr. Noah's coaching and content strategies were discussed, including different service levels (done for you, done with you, and do it yourself), and the benefits of incorporating simple systems into business operations for profitability. The conversation concluded with plans for further distribution of

Dr. Noah's content across various platforms, upcoming book releases, and the ambitious goal of authoring 30 more books. You can grab Dr. Noah's book at https://www.7FigureExpertBook.com

Marcia talks with Donna Dube about how busy CEOs can boost their productivity and profitability.

Love for Data:

A Key to Success Donna shared her transition from a project manager in the online space to operations, emphasizing her love for data analysis. She highlighted the importance of using data to make informed decisions for a business, noting that numbers don't lie. Marcia agreed, expressing that many CEOs often overlook this aspect. The conversation suggested that understanding data and metrics can greatly improve productivity, time management, and overall business growth. C

EO Power Hour for Strategic Reflection

Donna and Marcia discussed the importance of time management and strategic thinking for CEOs. Donna emphasized the need to prioritize and focus on the essential aspects of the business, recommending a weekly "CEO power hour" for reflection and decision-making. She also stressed the importance of self-care and delegation. Marcia agreed, highlighting the benefits of regular, consistent reviews of the business's direction and performance. Both agreed on the value of this approach for both visionary CEOs and those heavily involved in day-to-day operations.

Automating Maintenance for Growth

Donna and Marcia discussed the division of tasks in a business between maintenance and growth. Donna suggested that many maintenance tasks, such as website changes and social media posts, can be automated or delegated to save the CEO time for more important growth tasks like partnerships, webinars, and high-level sales calls. Marcia agreed, adding that these tasks could be handled by contractors or virtual assistants. The aim is to free up the CEO's time and reduce costs.

Time Management for Business Owners

Donna and Marcia discussed efficient time management strategies for business owners. Donna suggested delegating tasks to create more time and using a CEO score to track time spent on maintenance versus growth tasks. They agreed that scheduling personal time and blocking off important hours for business were effective ways to maintain a healthy work-life balance. They emphasized the need to prioritize tasks, focus on essential tasks, and set specific work hours that work for the individual to increase productivity and efficiency.

Focusing on Tasks: Distraction Management

Marcia and Donna discussed the importance of focusing on tasks and avoiding distractions. They suggested implementing a 'focus time' method, where one works on a single task until its completion. They noted how constant interruptions, such as phone notifications, can hinder productivity. They also emphasized the psychological benefits of completing tasks, such as increased motivation and confidence. Donna suggested using digital tools and reaching out to colleagues or friends for accountability.

Task Management Strategies With Eisenhower Matrix

Donna shared tips on managing a task list using the Eisenhower matrix, which involves categorizing tasks based on their importance and urgency. Marcia expressed appreciation for the strategies, particularly the concept of scheduling time for important tasks and focusing on growth activities. Donna also emphasized the need for regular review and planning to adjust expectations and prepare for success. The discussion ended with Marcia summarizing the key points for listeners.

Maximizing CEO Time: Effective Strategies

Marcia and Donna discussed tools and strategies for effective time management in business. Donna emphasized the importance of maximizing the CEO's time and shared her PDF, "CEO Amplify," which outlines a method for achieving this.

Marcia talks with executive delegation expert and owner of Team Delegate, Tonya Thomas about how to best benefit by using an executive virtual assistant to help you with everyday tasks that will free up valuable time. Tonya explains that an executive assistant isn't going to build a webpage or create content, the EVA will confirm appointments, follow up on tasks, and do so many of the little activities that you actually gain hours back in your day. And they do it with very little guidance. Nothing like training a new employee, just doing the things that you need to get done.

Marcia talks with capital investment expert, Melissa Widner about how to get funding for growth. Venture capitalists only fund about 1% of the asking businesses and banks often won't lend to growth-focused companies, so where do growing companies turn?
