This episode of North GA Business Radio is dedicated to our Veterans who have served and continue to serve this great nation of ours! We THANK YOU for your selfless service!

Wars are won by an abundance of counselors. Proverbs 24:6

Business owners and executives, here’s a question to ponder! Who, other than yourself, is looking out for you and your business?

We all need counselors — especially when you are a business owner. For instance, every business needs an outstanding accountant, excellent legal counsel, marketing magicians, sales specialists, and bankers — just to name a few! So, how do we keep them all on the same page and working together for our business’s betterment and smooth operation?

J.D. Mealor joins host Phil Bonelli today for another great conversation about making business work BETTER, especially in these turbulent times, and how gathering everyone for a “Roundtable Advisory and Consulting Meeting” makes all the difference.

HINT: The winds of change are blowing hard and fast. The advice dropped in this show could literally help change how well your business performs in 2024 and beyond!

 

Key Take Aways:

  • Discover the power of a Roundtable Advisory meeting to accelerate your business success.
  • Unlock the benefits of a roundtable approach and tap into valuable insights for growth.
  • Learn how to coordinate your advisors effectively to drive your business forward.
  • Navigate economic challenges with expert advice and make informed decisions for your business.
  • Harness the power of the roundtable to gain a competitive edge and fuel your business growth.

 

Action Items:

  • Consider creating a roundtable advisory meeting for your business by gathering all your advisors, including your accountant, attorney, banker, insurance person, and marketing advisor, to discuss your business goals and strategies.
  • Place a picture of your logo in front of everyone at the roundtable meeting to keep the focus on YOUR business.
  • Ensure there are no assumptions at the roundtable by clearly communicating your expectations and goals to all advisors.
  • Have your CPA and banker work together to align financial and tax strategies to maximize your business’s financial performance and loan opportunities.
  • Include a CFO on staff or external to drive the conversation and ensure accountability at the roundtable meetings.
  • Discuss long-term plans for your business, such as exit strategies, succession planning, or buy-sell agreements, with your roundtable advisors to ensure all aspects are considered and coordinated.
  • Consider paying your advisors for their time to attend roundtable meetings, as it can provide valuable insights and collaboration.

Living for today… Business owners are notoriously busy– ALL THE TIME. A big problem with that is they are missing opportunities to connect with others… How often do you take the time to connect with people you know? What’s it going to take for you to make time to do it?

During this episode of North GA Business Radio, special guest J.D. Mealor of  Senior Vice President of Commercial Banking at Regions Bank and host Phil Bonelli are doing a lightning round of local business shout-outs!

Almost here — Nick St. Caire is the AH-mazing Chef of Antebellum and Peyton’s Pie Co., is opening Caroline’s — breakfast and brunch — in downtown Flowery Branch!

Haydee’s Cafe and Haydee’s Meat Market on Atlanta Hwy! Delightful homemade Mexican food plus to-die-for fresh meats from their market.

Gainesville Flooring — aside from doing amazing flooring and tile work, they do an exceptional job of creating a cherished “client family.”

Thom Price of Visiting Angels from Warner Robins GA. Superb home-care service provider.

Meadowlark Coffee. Simply the BEST!

Faith And Archery — If it’s time to get your bow tuned up for hunting season, Chuck Henzy is the man to see!

Harrison Oil and Tire — Dependable, trustworthy and so very good at what they do. BONUS – you can walk to Meadowlark and get a coffee while you wait!

We’re also talking about FRAUD. And how to avoid becoming a victim of these very clever and resourceful thieves.

RULE NUMBER 1 — NEVER NEVER NEVER give anyone your login credentials to ANYTHING over the phone. If they say they are calling you from your bank, they don’t need your credentials — they already have them.

RULE NUMBER 2 — Don’t send checks (or cash) in the mail. Postal workers are getting robbed all the time. Your check if it’s in the mail has ALL of the account information a thief needs to wipe out your bank account (and steal your identity).

RULE NUMBER 3 — If you bank/pay online, BOOKMARK your login pages. Be VERY careful when searching for a login page via Google. These fraudsters are SEO savvy and can capture your info through a false login page before you even realize what happened.

RULE NUMBER 4 — If you are a business owner and you get an email from one of your vendors requesting you update your banking info with them — DO NOT DO IT based on that email. Give them a call to VERIFY all of that information. While it might be legit, nowadays 9 times out of 10 it is a hacker. And they will steal all of your money.
