Being a business owner has its rewards, but it can be very stressful, especially when operating the business yourself. You only have a limited time and energy each day, so you can't possibly do everything.
There's value in being an expert and becoming indispensable at work. But, reaching new levels of success requires letting go of specific day-to-day tasks. To scale faster, you must fire yourself from time-consuming and repetitive tasks you've been doing and learn to delegate, outsource, or automate. However, letting go can be pretty scary.
So, how do you move from being a business owner and operator to becoming a leader? How do you free up more time to focus on more impactful things? That's what we are discussing today with my good buddy Austin Netzley.

With the rise of AI, more and more people are outsourcing tasks to robots to save time and money. Now more than ever, you see many books coming out, and guess what? They're written with the help of AI. We're also seeing a wave of digital narration. After all, why narrate your book when you can ask AI to do it?
Well, AI can do many things, but there are still limitations, And my guest agrees 100%. Capturing and conveying the meaning and sound of a book is a unique skill that requires human emotion. Who better to know that than an audiobook narrator? So, let's get right to the conversation.

As many people learn how to utilize ChatGPT and other Generative AI models, there's a nagging question about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Should we be scared?
Tesla and SpaceX leader and famous innovator Elon Musk suggests that AI could potentially be very dangerous. But where is the real danger?

“On September 18, 2008, the Secretary of the US Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve went to Capitol Hill and told congressional leaders that if they didn’t authorize a seven-hundred-billion-dollar bank bailout, the financial system would implode.”
How many of you remember this event? Do you realize how the US financial system recovered? Today, I have the man who helped pull America out of the 2008 recession. We will hear the backstory straight from this guy, so you have got to listen!

“I know everybody makes the argument that if you hold your money in cash, you're losing money because you're holding cash when the value of the dollar is going down.
What I also know is if there's a crisis, having a big pile of cash is the most important thing to have. We had that when we restarted buying in 2011, and that's why we've been able to make millions of dollars in the market.”

If you’re a business broker or the buyer or seller of a business, you know that the only way a deal gets done is if there's money available to make it happen. When financing a business acquisition, you need cash (your own money), a loan, and equity.
We will discuss these things in detail as we speak with my favorite business broker Jessica Fialkovich. She understands the ins and outs of buying a business with no money down.
We're also going to crush a common misconception that business brokers are wicked and out to stop a deal from happening. Jessica is here to make you believe in the power of business brokerages. She also delves into the significant changes in the SBA Loans Program.
If you're interested in buying or selling a business, join us in today's episode of SMART Businesses Do THIS!
About the Guest:
Jessica Fialkovich is an award-winning business owner and an expert in mergers and acquisitions. She is the founder of Exit Factor and the co-owner of Transworld Business Advisors, the world leader in the marketing and sales of businesses, mergers and acquisitions, and franchises.
