5. Webinar Recording: "Crisis Cash Flow Management"

Webinar Category: Cash Flow


So many questions plaguing the minds of CEOs right now come down to one answer: Cash Flow. The old "cash is king" adage will once again prove to be true. We learned it in the dotcom bubble, the real estate recession, and now COVID-19 is teaching us the basics of business > Cash in/Cash out. These building blocks will help you implement crucial changes NOW. 


Many business owners manage cash at a very high level. They know that as long as we are getting more sales we should be able to cover our expenses. As one of our Elite members puts it, “You don’t have to worry too much about expenses if you just make more money.” He calls it J3M for short… Just Make More Money!


However, if sales aren’t what they need to be right now to cover expenses, you may find yourself in a situation where you wish you were better at managing the details of cash flow, not just the high level. The Crisis Cash Flow Management call with Jeremy Veatch, founding partner of Ironwood Venture, will be helpful for you if you want to...


  • Illuminate your costs: By understanding all your costs and timing you can see what you actually spend
  • Understand: Which costs to keep, which to pause, which to stop
  • Revenues: New revenue streams and how to bring them in/structure them
  • Cash flow dashboard: implement a proven process that gets cash into you’re savings account


Lastly, from Jeremy:


As a follow up, I want to pass along some additional resources that can be helpful for you. Here are links to:  

These are the guiding principles we recommend in times of peace, as well as in times of war and this is the detail that will be required for the forgiveness provision of the PPP. 

 

Thank you,

4. Webinar Recording: "Essential Ingredients for Effectively Leading Remote Teams"

Webinar Category: Leading People


In the current environment, many of us are adjusting to working from home. Even if you were used to having some of your team members work from home periodically, most business owners still have an office or a shop or a store (a physical location where your business is housed). Let’s face it… making the transition from leading a team in the office to leading a remote team can be difficult.


How can you see how people are really doing?

How do you maintain culture/esprit de corps when people aren’t together?

How can you know if everything that needs to get done is getting done?

How do ensure the right people are having the right conversations with each other, with partners, with suppliers, and with customers?


Over the years, you’ve developed a sixth sense of sorts. You can walk into your business and almost immediately tell how morale is doing and how productive people are. With everyone working at home, that ability to get a real-time pulse is missing and it can be a little nerve-racking.


On this call, we will give you the Essential Ingredients for Effectively Leading Remote Teams, including tips and best practices in the following areas:

  • Engaging team members
  • Keeping culture alive and well
  • Meeting rhythm do’s and don’ts
  • Clear performance expectations and dashboards/measurement

3. Webinar Recording: "Details about “COVID-19 Disaster Assistance” SBA Loans"

Webinar Category: Managing Cash


Come learn about the SBA COVID-19 disaster assistance loans from one of our very own Elite Entrepreneurs community members, Tyler McBroom of Measured Results (https://measuredresultscpa.com/).


Tyler will share details about these new SBA loans, including:

  • What terms you can get on these loans
  • Who is eligible to receive these loans
  • How to apply for the loans
  • And even information about forgivable portions of the loans


Most business owners who are doing all they can to keep their people on the payroll while responsibly managing cash flow through the COVID-19 pandemic should seriously consider applying for one of these loans. The U.S. government is using these SBA loans as an important part of their strategy to keep small businesses afloat and to keep people employed. Given the number of businesses who will likely take advantage of these loan programs, it is probably best to act sooner than later.


Come learn from Tyler and be ready to ask your questions as we will make time for Q&A after SBA loan details are shared on the call.


ALSO: Tyler provided a FAQ List on the CAREs Act live link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kNsoopB96I6ER1ooyyFC0oXgdvTQ_Qk-3noSV1GyX6o/edit



2. Webinar Recording: "Leading People Through Challenging Times"

Webinar Category: Leading People

  • The Stockdale Paradox as an approach to staying grounded in facts while creating a brighter future

Webinar: Creative Ways to Engage Employees, Prospects & Customers During a Pandemic

Date: Thursday, April 9, 2020 

Time: 9 AM - 10 AM PT / 12 PM - 1 PM ET 

Presenter: Brett Gilliland, Co-founder & CEO, Elite Entrepreneurs


Many business owners aren’t engaging their teams powerfully during this coronavirus pandemic. Not only does that mean the business owner is shouldering a great deal of the stress and uncertainty alone, but it also means that team members aren’t being asked to contribute to the creative problem solving that would lead to the best ideas to help the business through these turbulent times.


Additionally, you and your people can and should be doing creative things to engage your prospects and customers. As we have engaged with our Elite community over the past few weeks, we’ve seen stellar examples from leaders across many business types and industries. 


This webinar will be helpful for you if you want to hear the creative, affordable and practical examples that other leaders are doing to…


  • Ease concerns for their employees and enroll them in problem solving and innovation
  • Build relationships with prospects to increase the likelihood of converting them to customers in the future
  • Provide exceptional service and value to existing customers in order to retain them
