Axial talked to Dr. Allie Taylor about how Orange Kiwi is different from a typical advisory firm, the most surprising thing she uncovered in her research on business owners, and more.
As a business owner I’m always on the look out for client trends. Last year the majority of our clients were focused on scaling their businesses. So far, 2018 appears to be the year of acquainting clients with their MOM.
Successful entrepreneurial owners are: dynamic, resilient, driven, focused, goal-oriented and the businesses they build tend to reflect this nature.
Allie Taylor recently participated in a podcast hosted by Russell Haworth of the Family Business Podcast in the UK.
The art of reflection does not come naturally when you are “wired” with a bias toward action and execution. It was not until a mentor challenged me to create space for reflection that I realized its power.
Owner experience, advisor observations, academic literature, and popular books agree – significant transitions (scale, sale, succession) fail more often than they succeed in the low to mid-market business environment.
Decision-making is the single most important function of a management team, yet few spend any time thinking about the ruthless pursuit of effective decisions.
