Welcome to Episode 171 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Brian Johnson, the founder of Main & Johnson, Inc., a business consulting and coaching company whose goal is to help small to medium-sized businesses thrive — not just survive. Brian shares his own entrepreneurial journey with us, explaining how he made the jump from building multi-million dollar business units within Fortune 500 companies to starting his own small business. He also covers the progression of companies along the business cycle, using a practical analogy of an airline flight — from takeoff, through ascension, cruising altitude and safe landing. Along the way he explores what to do when you need to make adjustments for turbulence and how to formulate a strategy for continued growth. You’ll find out discussion helpful whether you’re starting a new business, trying to break through a plateau or planning for your exit.

So if you want to know:

• The importance of developing a growth strategy — even when your business is already growing
• Why you can’t wait for everything to be perfect again before moving your business forward
• The importance of figuring out what systems you need to scale and grow your business
• How finding the right partners can help deliver value to your business
• When it’s time to look for a business coach
• Why you can’t lose sight of the “end game”
