In this episode, I’m going to have a conversation with Mel Abraham, a.k.a. The Influencer’s Influencer and The Thought Leader to Thought Leaders. He is the founder of Thoughtpreneur Academy, an online training program that helps entrepreneurs build their expertise and authority in their niche to grow their businesses and increase their revenue. He is a sought-after speaker, the number one bestselling author of The Entrepreneur’s Solution, and the creator of The Entrepreneur’s Solution podcast, which is currently the top-ranked business podcast for social entrepreneurs.
Mel has built, bought and sold numerous multi-million-dollar businesses for himself as well as his clients, and his strategies have helped build thousands of businesses which have generated hundreds of millions of dollars for his clients, ranging from large corporations to startups and small family-owned businesses. His principles help business owners ensure that their customers become raving fans and that their lives are full of fulfillment from a business that is congruent with their values, in alignment with their higher vision, and connected to all stakeholders at an emotional level. I met him about a month ago at the Brendon Burchard mastermind, and we became best friends.
I've heard him talk about finances and what is happening in the world right now, and how he is watching businesses that are in fear take their dollars and turn them into pennies while others are able to step back, take pennies and turn them into dollars. So I wanted to bring him on to talk to us about how we can fortify our businesses financially in the crisis that we’re facing right now. He will talk about sales problems versus profits problems and how we can work around them, how we can keep making money with our businesses while maintaining great relationships with our customers, how the recently unveiled CARES Act can cushion us from the harm the Coronavirus pandemic is unleashing, and so much more. This episode will help you prepare financially in your business for what’s coming, so don’t miss it.
