95. How to Take over a Business Successfully - Recap of Month 1

Agriculture & Rural Business Podcast

In this episode, I’m doing a recap of month one of taking over the business we purchased called 406 Design. As I’ve shared in previous episodes, the first month has been hectic! One of my biggest learnings is that if you’re planning to take over a business, make sure it’s in the contract that the sellers will help train and guide you. We were so lucky to have the help from the previous owners to get us started on the right foot. If this isn’t possible, hire a consultant to help.

Within the six foundational parts of a business I teach and coach: mindset, leadership, your offer, marketing, sales, and business management, I’m concentrating on which area I need to focus on to fix holes right away. The top one is business management right now. Our top priority is making sure clients are getting their orders in a timely fashion. To do that, we implemented a new software called Printavo. This will help us streamline orders and make production efficient. Join me as I will continue to share what we’re learning as we take over our new business!
