            Carl Woodard of SCORE OC discusses the best time horizon to consider for a business plan. Transcript:  Bill: What's the right time horizon for your business plan? Here's SCORE mentor Carl Woodard.  Carl: A lot of people think that if they're not making it within that 90 days that you mentioned, then they need to close up shop and leave. They don't realize that the cash flow doesn't come in from day one, and so that's all part of the planning process. I would say, when you're putting together a plan, it should be for a fiscal year, one year period, and then do your financial projections for at least another year or two, especially if you're going to go borrow money for your business, because the financial folks and people that want to loan the money to you will want to know what you're thinking about after that first year. So, I would say, at least, cover a three-year horizon, but pay special attention to that first year you're in business. But of course, you're always adjusting it. If

Bill Ellerymeyer discusses the changing job market, the portfolio approach, and how to make income while pursuing your passions.  Transcript:  BB: You're counseling more people, "hey, to get more security, or to get more income, you need to think about a portfolio approach." BE: The market has changed so much, so that the today I would say that 60% of my clients, rather then helping them pursue a job directly, we build a portfolio career using their core skills over multiple streams of income. Example, you're an IT guy, so you now become a consultant in IT, but that is project oriented means up and down. So, to supplement that, you add in other things, the most common one is to start by teaching. You know, one night a week, you can marry that with board work, writing

Transcript:  John: I'm into financing businesses, so number one, your finances have to be in pretty good shape, especially if it's something we have to have so we can do SEC audits. Now, we're not necessarily saying they need SEC audits done, but they have to have trackability of their sources, of where they bought, what they sold, what barters they rent, and their financial statements. I think they should have an idea of what the opportunities are, what kind of opportunities they see. Because they're in the industry, and we're not. We have to find people to find people that are in that industry, so they have to know the industry pretty well, which they should. It has to be something that would be appealing to them to buy. If they were looking at a company, what would they need?  Need to work

Transcript:  Stephen: You know, there's a lot of factors that impact value. The business, you have internal factors about the company itself, as well as, on the other end, maximizing value through properly handling the sale process. When I say internal factors, I include addressing areas such as customer or vendor concentration. And, you know, buyer's will really have concerns about that. Another major concern is share-holder or employee dependency that will really effect value. So, I could talk for hours on the topic of what factors impact value, or how you can build value, but really, it all comes down to how predictable and sustainable are the sales and earnings looking ahead into the future?

Transcript:  Bill: Looking for a quick dietary tip to reduce your risk of cancer? Here's Doctor David Leonardi. David: Most people are convinced that protein is a critical part of our nutrition, and the consumption of plenty of animal protein is pretty standard in the Western Diet. But, we've long known from published studies, that high protein diets on a bio-chemical level, are actually deleterious. So, recently, a study published in 2014 finally looked at the relationship between protein intake and mortality In people aged 50-65, the intake of animal protein, in this study, correlated directly with mortality. Now, when I say animal protein, almost everybody thinks of red meat, but I'm talking about animal protein in general. So, this includes all meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. So the intake of animal prot

In this 1 minute highlight, Linda Duffy, President and Founder, Ethos Human Capital Solutions discusses the importance of recognizing that it is your Human Assets -- your key people, that are getting more valuable with each passing day. Transcript:  Linda: The thing about human capital assets, is they're actually the only asset that appreciates over time instead of depreciates over time. So, they're going to develop new knowledge, skills, and abilities, they're going to have tribal knowledge or organizational knowledge that takes a long time to replace when it walks out the door. And so, anything that you can do to develop those assets is great, and to make sure you're getting the right ROI or ROA, whatever it is that you want. Choose some metrics for your i

              Kathy Condon discusses networking strategies, including the finer points of starting conversations, asking questions, and the importance of listening.  Transcript:  Bill: Networking is a big thing these days, and a lot of people just don't know how to make small talk.  Kathy: That's why I tell people, come up with questions so they can start conversations. I'll share with you one of my best questions for anyone that you wanna get to know better. You look them in the eye, and you say, "tell me something great that happened to you lately." In order for the person to answer that question, they have to think of something great that happened to them, and the key here, is if you listen to the answer, you can easily ask another question. And the whole idea when you're out networking, is it's all about them, not about you. You know everything you know, what you want to do is, you want to learn about the other person.

Transcript:  Bill: If there were one diagnostic tool that creates the operations manual for a human being, would it be Strengthsfinder, in your assessment?  Brandon: I think so, and here's why. Dr. Clifton, who is the founder of Strengthsfinder in 1949, had the question, what would happen when we think about what's right with people, rather than what's wrong? And the man devoted his entire life to studying this idea of strength and talent. His conclusion was, we have so many words to describe what's wrong with us in psychology, where are all the words to describe what's right? And, he happened to live in the same city with George Gallup. Ended up purchasing Gallup, which, at the time, was providing the world with polling data, sampling fo
