The Language of Business

A big part of running a successful business is worrying about money. Where is your cash coming from, and where is it going to? In this episode, Greg looks at money from two big perspectives, investing and cash flow. What are investors looking for? How do you make sure you get paid in time to meet your obligations. Four different viewpoints are explored as Greg talks with Don Nelson, Aaron Cai, Ben Littauer and Dan Weller.

What shape will your business take? Are you envisioning a great corporation with many officers and locations or a Mom and Pop operation in a small storefront? No matter what size, shape and resources your business takes, you'll want to pay attention to this section of the business plan. Greg Stoller talks with E. Craig Sanders of C-Level Interim Executives, Paul Laskow of Save Energy Systems, and Jody Mendoza of Mojitos Latin Lounge about how their businesses have blossomed and grown.

Host Greg Stoller takes an in-depth look at the challenges of putting together the Organizational Section of the business plan. How do you know what skills you are looking for in your management team, and how can they lead your way to success? Greg speaks with entrepreneurs from big companies and start-ups to get a sense of what they have done, and the impact it has had on their businesses.

Greg Stoller continues his series looking at the world of business through the prism of the written business plan. In this episode, his in-depth look begins with a look at the Competitive Industry Analysis. Any start-up needs to be aware of the environment they are entering into. What (and who) defines your market? Guests include John Francis of TestMyPitch and Red Hat, Patricia Gray of P.A. Gray Law, and Leo Brea, Executive Director of Veconinter.
