She was doing everything right. Revenue was up. The business was growing. But she kept reinvesting and never seemed to get ahead. The problem wasn’t effort. It was the structure underneath the business, working against her instead of with her. Wrong entity type. No separation between revenue streams. A tax situation nobody had ever looked at from the legal side. Most business owners don’t lose money in one dramatic moment. They lose it slowly, through decisions that made sense at the time but were never revisited. That’s Burning Profits. And it’s the one that surprises people most. If you’ve never had someone review your structure from a tax and legal standpoint together, that review is worth more than most people think. Comment ACCESS and we’ll start the conversation.☝🏼 by @iamscottreib
Most business owners don’t avoid their lawyer because they’re careless. They avoid them because every phone call costs money. So the small question gets Googled, run past a friend, or left alone. Six months later it comes back as a bigger problem with a much bigger bill. That pattern comes from how lawyers charge, and most firms still charge that way. When the question is cheaper to ask than the problem is to fix, people call early. That’s the whole idea. When was the last time you skipped a legal question because you didn’t want to pay to ask it? Comment ACCESS and I’ll send you the details on how it works. by @iamscottreib
Who is your ideal client? Not "anybody who will pay." One real person. ⠀ In The Shatterproof Entrepreneur I ask three questions to build a customer avatar: Who is my ideal client? Where can I find them? What are their biggest obstacles? ⠀ Swipe through, answer all three, then reread your last marketing message. Was it written for that person? ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #Marketing #BusinessOwner by @iamscottreib
"Scott, I'm in trouble. The sheriff's here, and he's taking my equipment." ⠀ He had been sued and never saw the papers. His registered agent was a CPA he had stopped using years before, so the court entered a default judgment. ⠀ One small detail nobody owned. Who in your business is responsible for the boring details that protect everything else? ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #BusinessOwner #Entrepreneur by @iamscottreib
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. ⠀ Ninety days is long enough to move the needle and short enough to keep your focus. Set the goal, hit it, then set the next one. ⠀ What's your 90-day goal? ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #90DayGoals #Entrepreneur by @iamscottreib
10 questions every contract should answer. Swipe through with your last signed agreement next to you. ⠀ In Chapter 6 of The Shatterproof Entrepreneur I put it simply: if it's not written down, it didn't happen. What you want out of it, dates, parties, considerations, remedies, duties, governing law, disputes, term and early termination. ⠀ Which one would your last contract fail? ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #Contracts #BusinessOwner by @iamscottreib
Someone asked me why 90 days and not 60. For my first goal, I did the math and 60 wasn't going to get me there. Ninety was. ⠀ Most of us have full calendars. Over 90 days, you can carve out enough time to move a big project forward. ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #90DayGoals #Goals by @iamscottreib
From The Shatterproof Leader: “When you know who you are and whose you are, your decisions get easier.” The second half of that line carries the weight. Knowing who you are tells you what you value. Knowing whose you are tells you who you answer to. Once that question is settled, many hard calls get shorter. The deal that conflicts with your convictions becomes a quick no. The hire who fits your mission becomes a quick yes. You spend less time second-guessing and more time building. Which decision on your desk would get simpler if you answered that question first? by @iamscottreib
"I made that huge mistake. I wish I knew better years ago." That's the sentence I don't want you saying to me. ⠀ Imagine someone tells you, "You can keep the business, you just can't keep the name." The better you are at marketing, the easier you are to find. ⠀ Don't wait too long to find out whether you own your name. ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #BrandProtection #BusinessOwner by @iamscottreib
In 1903, a French scientist named Edouard Benedictus dropped a glass flask. It broke, but the pieces stayed connected. That accident became the safety glass in your windshield. ⠀ A windshield has two jobs: a clear view of the road ahead, and a shield. That's what your business needs too. The road will crack it. A shatterproof business won't let the damage reach you. ⠀ That's why I call it Shatterproof. ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #BusinessOwner #Entrepreneur by @iamscottreib
Most business owners only call a lawyer after something has already gone wrong. A big deal needs a contract by Friday. A cease and desist shows up because you used something that wasn’t yours. An employee leaves and takes clients with them. I’ve been through that last one myself. Hiring an attorney in the middle of a problem always costs more. Build the relationship before you need it, and tell your lawyer where your business is headed. The more they know, the more problems they can spot and help you avoid. When was the last time you talked to your lawyer when nothing was wrong? by @iamscottreib
You didn't start your business because you love reading contracts. ⠀ You started it because you love something and you're on a mission. Protecting it is how you keep doing what you love. ⠀ What made you start? ⠀ #ShatterproofEntrepreneur #BusinessOwner #Entrepreneur by @iamscottreib
