In Silv3r Advisors website copy we describe all our years of experience. In my case my career spans almost 45 years. Almost 30 of which have been specifically spent advising folks just like you. We may not have met yet, yet I (we) have been deeply involved in finding wisdom based solutions to your challenges for a long time.
Below are 9 factors (partial list) which I know for sure make Silv3r Advisors uniquely powerful in supporting your growth.
At present we are going through a time of RADICAL CHANGE! Everyone feels it whether they own a business or not. There is a reason we have a trapeze artist flying on our home page. Every business of any size needs support through this transition. Virtually no one is having an easy time of it. This includes any given famous company you are familiar with. Sticking the landing is crucial and many won’t. We stack the deck in your favor. No sports or biz leader of note is without a mentor or coach to maximize their performance. What makes you think you are better than Steve Jobs?
A well known fact is 97% of US businesses never reach a million in revenue. They can’t afford the $300-$1200 an hour both independent consultants as well as famous big firms charge. We believe our offering delivers world class advisory services at an affordable rate. Our research suggests the best firms for founders and their communities (sometimes called Small Giants or Zebras) are between $1-10 million in revenue. We are by design set up to get you there. Reference our guarantee.
A common yet eerily accurate trope is “owning a business is the loneliest job in the world,” which can leave both the leaders and the company in a place of stagnate isolation We are the cure for you. Let us support you to draw out the best you have to offer (your big idea),stop ruminating about it and actually pull the trigger with confidence.
“Mental Health” is emerging as a primary crisis for the independent business community. Probably all businesses, but at present I am speaking just to you. Actually mental taxation has been around for ions but only now getting notoriety as a real condition given the significant numbers and degree of impact beyond the single individual. If terms like anxious, burned out, ineffective, depressed, unhealthy fit your daily experience we have your new path forward. In fact stay tuned for our self published book and course on the practices that are proven to be effective. Do terms like resilience, flow state, highly creative, high performer sound better to you? What about team and community coherence? The infamous consulting firm Mckinsey has studied people working in a flow state are 500% more effective. How long will businesses be competitive without addressing this crisis as an opportunity? This is an area where Silv3r Advisor’s wisdom is absolutely uniquely positioned to have a huge impact. Many are saying mental health is the new wealth.
Being a conductor: Is your to list what drives your business? Do you spend all your time focusing on your product or service? 99% of independent business owners do. And 97% never get past that. The analogy we use is that you grew up in the orchestra and became the first chair violinist. You are so good you decided to go out on your own and start your own orchestra. Here is the rub. You are now the conductor. The challenge is you have never been a conductor before. This simple transition takes most founders from expert to beginner.
Impact: Most business owners love the idea of having an impact in their local community. Who doesn't enjoy the gratitude sent your way when you support the local little league team. The world needs businesses that are solving social and environmental challenges. Making a profit is vital so is giving back. This does not have to be hard or complicated with our help. Separate yourself from the pack.
Generations:For most businesses, integrating different generations to work together successfully to reach their potential is essential and often distracting to the primary business mission. We have strategies for you.
We help you remember: I have forgotten more knowledge and wisdom than I actively use on a daily basis. So have you! We help you remember all that amazing knowledge that will solve many of your current and future challenges.
Succession or exit planning is key to ALL successful business owners' plans. Most don’t. You might be leaving $100,000’s to millions of dollars on the table.
Why are you in business? Is it to make a living and have a community impact? Statistically you could be much better at it. Let us help you!
You may question how we do all of this and more in two Zoom calls a month. Well, we have done it. The question I have is - are you ready?
