Over the last few weeks, I’ve been talking about the business owner’s support team and the various professionals that need to be a part of it. As I’ve gone over each of these positions, I’ve been equating them to positions on a baseball team. In today’s blog, I’m going to go into greater detail on the second baseman of our team, the insurance professional. I’m not talking about salespeople. Instead, I’m referring to the professional who can advise us about which insurance business owners need to have, and why.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how important it is for a business owner to have a support team that really wants to see them succeed. As important as it is to have this team, it is just as important to have the right people on it. We’ve been using the analogy of a baseball team and assigning each role to a corresponding position in a baseball lineup. As we continue this look at the support team, I’d like to focus on your shortstop… the business owner’s legal team.

Recently, I began talking about the importance of business owners having a support team. Although I gave an overview of what the business owner’s support team lineup should look like, I want to provide a little more detail for some of the All-Star players. In today’s blog, we will discuss the first baseman and clean-up hitter in our baseball analogy, the rockstar CPA. Join me as I explain why the forward-thinking CPA is a must on a business owner’s support team.

There’s something about sports that binds us. People from completely opposite backgrounds can be united by their love of a team. There’s power in a group of people coming together with a common goal. A team can accomplish what the individual never could. That’s as true in business as it is in the world of sports. Building the right support team can give you a serious advantage in your business. Join me as I draw up the perfect starting lineup for every business owner’s support team!

So much has changed since the beginning of 2020. The way we socialize, how we learn, even the way that we operate our businesses, all have been changed by COVID-19. So, as we push forward, what does the new normal mean for our businesses and how can we set ourselves apart? There have been many business changes in the midst of COVID-19. As entrepreneurs, it is up to us to adapt and find new ways to flourish. In today’s blog, I want to address some of these changes and look at ways we can position our businesses to succeed.

As business owners, it can be difficult to ever truly “check out” from our businesses, much less, take a vacation. We work long hours that continue even after we’ve gone home. The truth is, there is always some aspect of our businesses— contracts, equipment repairs, a team member that’s struggling, etc.—that can keep us up at night. But there are good reasons why business owners need a vacation.
