This is episode 55. Robert and his brother Alex set a goal this year to make Clarity Wave a company that can stand on its own financially – bringing in at least enough to cover development and marketing efforts. I can tell you right now that they more than doubled their revenue this year, but the question is…was that enough? Highlights In today’s episode, you’ll hear: Robert’s experience hiring marketing partners, industry partners, and full on buy-in partners The harsh reality of making enterprise software sales How to deal with seasonal buying slow-downs Plus how they hope to determine the company’s valuation and what they’ll do with that number This might be the most complete behind the scenes picture you’ll see for the first year of a software company – Robert’s experiences are crucial for any business owner, but if SaaS in particular is in your future, make sure you stay to the end and take notes.

This is episode 54. Clarity Wave has added 10 more clients since the last time we spoke, with a yearly value between 7,000 and 10,000 dollars each. Robert and his brother credit this growth to their massive action approach to lead generation, which, as you’ll hear in this episode,meant redirecting time and funding from development into sales and marketing. Highlights In today’s episode, you’ll hear: Robert’s deep dive into LinkedIn connection strategies that work How he optimized a personal LinkedIn profile to generate leads The two connection methods they’ve used and what’s been more successful (including direct message templates you can copy) Plus their exact approach to create an industry group and use that to build authority with their market What they’ve done is built a consistent daily habit around inbound and outbound marketing, and the results speak for themselves.

This is the last episode in our series with Matthew, so today’s interview is an epic unpacking of a story you don’t often hear : What happens in those 12 months after you purchase a business? What kind of challenges should you expect? Is it worth it to buy rather than build your own? Matthew shares with us a number of big mistakes he made this year, and has some surprising advice for people who are looking to acquire their own online business for the first time. Highlights Matthew walks us through his major milestones and lessons, including: Matthew’s insights on the huge learning curve the first 3 months after acquisition The best time to implement changes in a business you purchased The issues he wished he’d changed sooner What to do to make sure employees in a business you acquire don’t get bitter at new management And why, despite slower growth than anticipated, he’s still confident the business can double or triple next year Make sure to stick around through the whole episode for all this and more.

This is episode 52. We’ve been following Kelly’s story all year and today we check back in with her for the last time. After beginning this year frustrated and tired of running her luxury spa robe ecommerce site and watching its sales decline, Kelly was ready to get it off her plate. But she knew she had a lot of work to put in first. In this episode, we’ll find out if all that work paid off and how she feels about her progress this year – including how sales are going during her busiest time of year. Highlights We’ll also cover: Where Kelly stands now on selling her business Why her sales declined the first half of the year , even though her site ranking stayed the same Insights from redesigning her entire product line including… Kelly’s tricks to setup a professional photoshoot on a shoestring budget And what advice she would give herself through some of the toughest times in her business. Having spoken with Kelly throughout 2016, I was really struck by her ability to leverage key skills like photography, website design, and SEO into a scalable, automated business rather than just getting stuck as a freelancer. Kelly told me during this interview about a big business decision she’s going to make come January 1st, so make sure to stick around through the whole episode for this exciting news and more.

Highlights In today’s episode, you’ll hear: Robert’s successful workflow with LinkedIn authority marketing His insights into resolving key startup issues , like automating sales and why hiring freelance developers can be dangerous Plus how all of Clarity Wave’s big wins come back to just one key approach I came away from this interview with the impression that Robert and Alex are going to be successful because they care so much about building connections and being genuinely helpful to the people in their market. That’s a huge lesson that anyone who’s struggling in business needs to learn, so pay attention and learn what Robert’s doing right.

This is episode 49. Today we are joined by Matthew Yahes, who recently acquired a 7 figure ecommerce portfolio in the gift baskets and wedding favors niches. Last time, Matthew talked about increasing revenue with one key strategy – cart recovery . That boost has allowed him to start testing a lot of other aspects of his business – from his mobile checkout process to opt-in coupons that build his email list. As you’ll hear, though, he’s run into a number of snags that have caused him to take a smarter approach to changes on his sites. Highlights In today’s interview with Matthew, we’ll also cover: The simple mistake that dropped conversion by 50% How he found an e-commerce expert and sold him on joining as a partner How to manage both parties’ risks in a partnership (i ncluding how they decided between salaries and equity splits) And evaluating whether to 10x or 2x his business Make sure to stick around through the whole episode for all this and more, as Matthew establishes his revenue goals for the end of the year and into mid-2017.

This is episode 48. Robert and Alex continue to deal with problematic contractors, and while they seem to be moving in the right direction, I ask them all about how the two of them forged a business partnership and continue to make it work, despite living in completely different countries. Partnerships are always a controversial topic, not to mention going into business with family, so I found Robert and Alex’s insights to be very illuminating. Highlights In today’s episode, you’ll hear: What are the right (and wrong) things to do to make a partnership work How to split business responsibilities based on strengths And deciding between equal time commitments or equal milestone commitments These two have put a lot of thought into creating a successful business relationship, so if you’ve ever considered entering into a partnership, you owe it to yourself to hear what they have to say.

This is episode 47. Today we are joined by Mark Daoust, founder of Quiet Light Brokerage, which specializes in helping entrepreneurs get the highest value from the sale of their online businesses. Today’s podcast is a recorded presentation by Mark from last year’s Rhodium Weekend – he explains the early mistakes he made in buying and selling websites and how exactly to avoid those same pitfalls. This is actually two talks in one, and I’m excited to bring it to you today as one epic podcast episode. The first part is focused on exit strategy planning – and after that, Mark goes straight into how to make the sale happen. Highlights The one thing Mark did to increase the value of his business 450% in One Year – from a 30K valuation to a $165K sale Plus what that site’s buyer did to re-sell for an additional $200K without increasing revenue You’ll also learn The 4 Pillars of an Investor-Focused Exit Strategy The 5 Biggest Sources of Risk in Your Business And the most important service that brokers provide (Hint: it’s not a Buyer List) Plus Mark lays out how you can cut out the broker entirely by using his exact selling playbook. Listen Now Next Steps If today’s in-depth look at navigating the acquisition process is really exciting for you, I’d venture to guess that you’re an online business owner looking to increase the value of your business – or maybe you’re looking to make a purchase of an online business – or perhaps you’re just looking to make your business more scalable , even if you don’t plan on selling. Listen, there’s a lot to learn, and today’s episode is a great starting point and maybe even an intermediate step…but if you’re hungry for this kind of knowledge, you’re going to want to go even deeper. That’s why, every year, I host the Rhodium Weekend event – where you can learn, network and do deals with experienced buyers and sellers of online businesses . Everyone comes to learn and share with one common goal – to create and enjoy incredible freedom. If you can picture yourself with this like-minded group of entrepreneurs, now is the time to apply before ticket sales close on September 23rd. I keep the number of seats limited to make sure every attendee gets incredible value and attention.

This is episode 46. Today we are joined by Matthew Yahes, who recently acquired a 7 figure ecommerce portfolio in the gift baskets and wedding favors niches. Since we last spoke with Matthew, he’s been very busy. He’s making some big shifts in his business, which you’ll hear about today…but his biggest effort right now is growing his revenue using “cart recovery.” If you don’t know what that is, or want to learn more, you’re in luck because we’re also joined today by John Peden from cartrecover.com . He’s not only an expert in improving sales by targeting cart abandonment issues – he’s the expert that Matthew has relied on to address his cart abandonment issues. Now 8% of Matthew’s monthly revenue comes directly from purchases that would have otherwise been lost. Highlights In today’s interview with Matthew and John, we’ll also cover: The number 1 most likely reason your customers put an item in their cart and never buy it How to figure out the real reasons people are selecting items to buy…and then never buying them When to focus on cart abandonment and when other issues should be your priority The most effective messaging for reaching out to abandoned cart customers depends on this one key factor Make sure to stick around through the whole episode for all this and more.

This is episode 44. Today we are joined by Rob Walling, a serial web entrepreneur who has been building, acquiring and revamping digital properties since 2005. We had Rob on back in episode 42 to talk about his incredible turnaround with the SaaS company Hit Tail. During that presentation, Rob talked about the genesis of his latest company called Drip, which focuses on marketing automation. In today’s episode, Rob is still fresh from the year-long acquisition process with Leadpages. We’ll go deep into the day-to-day aspects of the acquisition hearing more about the effects it’s had in his life and work. Highlights What was going through Rob’s head when the email came in from Leadpages founder Clay Collins asking him if he’d like to sell his company. The biggest deal breakers that caused him not to pursue other acquisition offers. Which advisors you definitely need during an acquisition, and the right times to bring each of them into the process. And to top it all off, Rob’s daily tactics to manage the stress of an intense year long process. Listen Now: Next Steps If today’s in-depth look at navigating the acquisition process is really exciting for you, I’d venture to guess that you’re an online business owner looking to increase the value of your business – or maybe you’re looking to make a purchase of an online business – or perhaps you’re just looking to make your business more scalable , even if you don’t plan on selling.

This is episode 43. Today we are joined by Sean Ogle, who has built an online business by being a sort of online mentor and pioneer in the lifestyle design movement. He currently runs an online course called Location Rebel, where he teaches others to build businesses that support lives that lead to their greatest happiness…just as he has done for himself. In this episode, Sean talked to me about the one key focus he’s had that’s taken him from being completely miserable, stuck in a job he hated that got worse by the day , to selling out his first course in 48 minutes while travelling the world. Highlights Sean’s insight that’s lead to greater affiliate sales with a smaller list, as well as the amazing success of his first course How to get started in business from a place of security rather than panic And the one filter question Sean asks everyone who comes to him for help – and most of them can’t answer Listen Now: Next Steps If today’s episode really resonates with you, you’re probably someone who’s looking for the freedom that an online business offers.

This is episode 35. Keeping Focus While Selling a Business With Kelly Shroads Kelly Shroads is a photographer, web design consultant for startups, and E-commerce business owner. Her business, which sells spa-quality bathrobes, has been going strong for eight years, but is currently in a state of transition. Kelly is looking at selling her company now—but that in itself involves a lot of research and work. In this episode we take a look at Kelly’s business model, and the many considerations she faces as she decides how to sell her business and where to go from there. Starting an ecommerce business: finding a niche, finding suppliers Selling a business: keep a share or sell outright? When is the right time to sell, and for how much? How should you prepare? Financial classifications: is it worth the hassle to reclassify a business as an S corp? Finding direction: how do you take stock of your business’s “why”? Listen Now: More About This Episode Kelly Shroads runs a successful E-commerce business in a particular niche: spa bathrobes. The high-quality robes used at hotels and spas aren’t widely sold online or in stores, and many spa-goers are frustrated by their unavailability to consumers. “That really was my initial inspiration, trying to create the spa experience at home,” Kelly says. “It’s very specific.” After a lot of research in industry journals and trade shows, and a lot of refusals, Kelly found a supplier to help her meet the demand. But that supplier was recently bought, and while Kelly looks for new ones, the business is in a state of flux. At the same time, she’s also starting the process of selling it, and wants it in optimal condition for potential buyers. “When you look at your business from the standpoint of showing it to a buyer, it changes everything,” Kelly says. That means putting some work into cleaning up her financials. “I used to do just simple spreadsheet accounting,” Kelly says. “I knew I needed to step it up in the accounting department so I dialed everything into Quickbooks.” While before she had filed taxes as a sole proprietor, with income from all three of her businesses under the same LLC, she’s also reclassified her robe business as an S corp. The reclassification involved some changes and challenges, with payroll to manage and new accounting habits to form, but Kelly says that she’s traded a little more work each month for a lot less work at the end of the year. More importantly for her buyers, having separate entities has made it easier for her to report on and track expenses and earnings for this particular business. She can clearly report on exactly where her company’s earnings and expenses are, and send that earnings information to her potential buyers. Then there are higher-level questions about selling the business. Is it best to sell the business outright and let someone else take off with it? Or is it better to retain some part in it so she can “get some reward from the work I put into it.” A lot depends on the sale price, but that can be hard to assess. Hearing a lot of discussion about value at Rhodium Weekend gave Kelly a sense of what’s average in the market for businesses like hers, and what the low and high end she can expect to see are as she proceeds with selling—helping to inform her decision to retain part of the business or not. But maybe the largest scale question is when the right time to sell is. This year is the first year Kelly’s sales have gone down. Part of that is because of her supplier issues, but there’s a lot of other work she knows the business needs as far as branding, promotion, and alternate forms of monetization. The question is whether it makes sense for Kelly to do that work now, taking a year to get her business in top condition before selling it, or to sell it and leave those decisions up to the new buyer to make for itself. That’s a question Kelly hasn’t answered yet, but she’s devoting a lot of thought to it and to her overall goals in business and life. “[The bathrobe business] is something comforting for people. It’s a simple product, simply delivered,” Kelly says. But as she moves forward, she’s balancing the management and improvement of her business and deep consideration of how her future business can make an impact and be of service in the world.

This is episode 33. “Drinking from a fire-hose” – the enormity of a million dollar takeover. It’s been a month since we last spoke to Matthew Yahes about his seven figure E-commerce business purchase and a lot has happened. The deals have been done, the keys have been handed over and Matthew has just started to get to grips with his new investments. In this episode, Matthew talks about the importance of a supportive handover before getting into the real meaty issue; how he is dealing with the huge task he has taken on. It’s a major rush as well as a serious challenge for the buzzing entrepreneur. Highlights What the closing day on a 7 figure deal looks like from behind the scenes. Managing all the aspects of the handover. Benefits and challenges of running an E-commerce company. Listen Now: More About This Episode Starting out Just what is it like to take over the controls of a major E-commerce business? It’s now just under a month since Matthew Yahes did just that, making the biggest deal of his life in the process, and a lot is happening very fast. Fortunately, thanks to careful due diligence and a positive approach from everyone involved, Matthew has exactly the support that he needs. It’s not always a cutthroat world This brings us to the first big lesson of this month’s catch-up. The old cliches about business being a case of kill or be killed aren’t always true. Sometimes a little friendliness between buyer and seller goes much further than the old game of hardball. The ample support Matthew has received from his seller has proved much more valuable than the few dollars he could have knocked off his purchase price. Building Relationships It’s not just about the buyer and the seller though. Along with the business, Matthew gained a team of new employees who he is gradually building mutual trust with. You can have all the business savvy in the world but if you can’t relate to your team, there are going to be problems. Fortunately he has been fine with this from the first time he met them over dinner. We find out how he managed this and how he benefits from it now. Starting to Delegate and Outsource Getting to grips with his place in the company and other people’s places around him has been one of the biggest parts of Matthew’s learning curve. Settling in with the team and knowing who to look to for what is just the start; negotiating with suppliers, arranging SEO audits and managing a hugely complicated advertising campaign are all things that need careful attention in a short space of time after takeover. Matthew takes us through all the niches of a new business that need to be filled and offers a few tips on surrounding yourself with people you can rely on. Tips for taking over From vendor management, to hiring, to advertising. Matthew has taken on a lot of new responsibilities and his lessons are yours. What is the best way to use a business platform operations manual? What should the financial plan look like? Should advertising or tech be a priority? These are all questions that Matthew has had to answer for himself. Thanks to his latest lesson though you won’t have to The Pros and Cons of an E-commerce Company Being a drop-ship company and not having any inventory to deal with seems like a flexible financing dream, and Matthew tells us that for the most part it is. He also takes us through the challenges of building a brand identity around other peoples’ products while competing with your own suppliers. Big challenges, big rewards! As Matthew says, “Go for it.” It may be “Like drinking from a fire hose.” The information may come at a hundred pages a minute and the challenges just as fast, but the achievements and opportunities that lay in wait make it all worthwhile. He tells us about the opportunities he sees in the future, the goals he has set for himself and how these things keep him motivated through fifteen hour days and long, tense meetings. Goals and Opportunities Matthew’s plans and visions for the future are becoming more and more clear all the time. He tells us just what these are and how he is 100% confident that they will happen with hard work and determination. In time he’ll be cutting the management of this company down to just a few hours per day and spend more time working on spinning off other businesses to reinforce his portfolio. Of course we’ll be there with him along the way to see how he is doing, hear about his successes and learn from his mistakes. All in all it’s been a roller coaster few weeks that has seen Matthew move from ‘new kid on the block’ to the center of operations. Not an easy maneuver, but a necessary one. There has been a lot to take in and a lot to dish out, but with the help of the seller and the new team Matthew is determined to come out on top. Listen to this month’s story to find out how he got into this position and where he plans to go from here. This is one man who is going far, and we intend to go all the way with him starting next month. In his words; “It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You need to put in the effort to succeed”. See you at the finish line. Mentioned In This Show Magento : The Leading digital E-commerce platform. Volusion : A useful E-commerce store setup tool.

However he gave that life up, even dropping down to the point where he had only $200 to his name because he wasn’t completely happy and fulfilled with the success he’d achieved. Philip went on a personal journey to discover his purpose in life and found that purpose in inspiring and helping others. He now says his sole focus is helping people create a life that means something and make money doing it. He’s helped everyone from housewives to Olympic athletes, celebrities, and even billionaires all create a more fulfilling and authentic life. Phil has graciously offered up his Authentic Goal Setting course for free to my listeners. Normally $60 but if you go to http://philipmckernan.com/rhodium/ it’s yours free. In this episode: Why you don’t have to wait for a wake up call like a mid-life crisis to start living the life you want to live. What Phil has to say about my off-the-grid Montana fly fishing trip and why you might want to consider doing something similar. Why chasing money or freedom won’t make you happy and what the one specific thing that will is.
