Startup 

You took the risk and mistakes made here can have lasting impacts years down the road. A big reason why 25% of businesses do not make their fifth birthday! Your key right now is being adaptable, learning, clear on your target and managing all the hats of a launched business.

Growth

You are generating revenue and taking on new customers consistently. The challenge now is your organization. Do you have the right people in the right seat, should you hire or not. You are so deep in firefighting mode that no one is running the business. Your role has changed!  Delegation, expectation setting, and leadership is now in the forefront.

Maturity/Exit

You now have stable profitability and have been comfortable with your size and growth. Businesses either are growing or dying. The choice you are faced with is grow, exit, or slowly have the company disappear. The business is likely your largest asset, what is your plan to cash out? Have you begun to think like a buyer?

Every journey begins with the First Step.
You are here.

Now challenge yourself to take your next step!

Meet Brad

I have always been curious about how things work, including people. From my first job bagging groceries through fortune 100 manufacturing companies, I have always been a go-to teammate, mentor, challenger, friend, and leader. I have been asked by numerous people-" how do you see the future.” I use the context around me and put the pieces of the puzzle together to see the gap and challenge the status quo with a purpose.  I am the only coach who has built a team to outsource nearly 1,000,000 man-hours, and built a PMO office in a 125-year-old company changing the culture for the better. And I am the only coach who has had worldwide supply and inventory and P&L accountability for the world's largest mobile earth-moving equipment.  In doing so, I have developed suppliers to do and become better. I focus on supporting the business owners to do what was right for their business.

Your Business is Behind the Times …AND You Can Catch Up

By Brad Herda • 26 Jul, 2023
It might be frustrating, but the truth is this: the younger generations don’t think the same way as your older workers. They grew up differently and have a different set of lived experiences. So it’s not surprising that their way of working is different, too.

Are You Avoiding Gen Z?

By Brad Herda • 13 Dec, 2022
Let’s suppose you have a position open at your factory. How long has it gone unfilled? How much is that costing you? If you don’t know that number, you should. Those open positions are costing you a lot. I can hear you yelling, “We can’t find good people!” Stop it! The blue-collar world has said this since 2001. It was stupid then, and it’s stupid now.

3 Ways to Tell if You Own a Business or a Job

By Brad Herda • 01 Aug, 2022
You say you’re a business owner, but are you really? Many entrepreneurs put themselves in a position of owning a job, not a business. This can be true whether you’re a solopreneur or have 50 employees. As a person supporting blue-collar businesses, I see this all too often. An owner comes to me with a company that’s been around for many years, looking to make a change. The business is profitable, and yet they can’t sell.

3 Ways to Stop Begging for Employees

By Brad Herda • 27 Jun, 2022
Each new generation brings changes to the workforce. Having spent over a decade mentoring tomorrow's leaders and observing the behaviors of a multigenerational workforce, I know how tough finding the right person can be. I’ve been leading and growing teams, coaching, and mentoring for nearly 20 years. And I’ve seen business owners make every mistake imaginable when it comes to their workforce. Here’s how you can stop begging for employees and start attracting – and keeping – the best.
