To learn more about how Mike can help you unleash your business potential, then please visit www.mhc.consulting. In today's episode, we talk about cash. Now cash is the fourth and final element in the scaling up program, but because it's the fourth and the last, it certainly isn't the least important. In Mike's experiences, he has found that many companies see their cash flow as a second thought, and this is detrimental to our business. He says it's important that we know on a daily basis what our cash flow is. We should be clear about what money's coming in and what money's coming out, very much like a household income budget. For this episode, Mike talks about the cash conversion cycle, and the download for this tool is in the show notes, and I recommend that you download it for this episode as Mike walks us through this document and explains the different areas and how important it is, and how to use it. This episode also marks the end of the podcast series with Mike on scaling up your business. At the end of the podcast, Mike shares with us some actionable points that we can take away from this podcast that he would like to help you to implement in your business. He also shares with us some additional information about how to get in touch with him and how he can help you grow your business. Please subscribe to our podcast.

To learn more about how Mike could help you unleash your business potential, then please visit www.mhc.consulting. In today's episode, we talk all about execution and what that really means. It's the part where we act. We've done our planning. We've got our team, but now, we're talking about bringing this all into play. The keyword here is "focus". When we focus, we need to be clear on what our desired outcomes are that we want from our execution. To help in this process, Mike shares with us the importance of prioritization and what that means and what that looks like. He helps us understand metrics, the keys to success, ability for us to measure what exactly we've been doing, and ultimately, putting a timestamp into this so we have a clear end date of when this execution of this goal takes place. This will be covered in this podcast as well as a checklist called, the Rockefeller Checklist. It is a health check for your business and an awesome tool to have in your business toolkit.

It's our mission to give you, the business owner, back your freedom and allow you to grow your team and your business in a sustainable, manageable, and more enjoyable way.  Each episode we will explore the four major decision areas every company must get right. Those are: people, strategy, execution, and cash. Mike shares with us insights and experiences in achieving success in these areas, along with some great tools and techniques that all aim to help the business grow. But most of all make you, the business owner, not feel so trapped. To learn more about how Mike can help you unleash your business potential, then please visit www.mhc.consulting. In this episode, Mike talks to us all about strategy, what it looks like, what it means to a business, and how you can go about achieving it. Now we know that strategy is all about achieving desired goals and ultimately it drives the scope and direction of the business, but it's a bit bigger than that when it comes down to the planning of it. It's about getting clear on what it is we are going to be selling, what are resources are, and how we will actually go about it. Mike also introduces us to another concept called BHAG - Big Hairy Audacious Goal - and this is all about going out there with a long 10 to 15 year vision of where you would ultimately love to see the company. Now that's a fairly big mission to achieve, but it can be done and Mike takes us through the conversation around that. He also then breaks it down into more manageable parts because obviously, a 10 to 15 year goal isn't at this present moment and we need to think about what we can do right now to help us drive towards that Big Hairy Audacious Goal.  Please subscribe to the podcast.
