Scott's back from a golf break (4 rounds in 5 days - now the back is jacked) and diving into what’s happening at Sinclair Range during the summer slowdown.
Here’s what we’re covering this week:
Lesson of the Week
• Why do we prepare financial models?
• Not to predict the future—but to clarify our assumptions
• A good model forces you to think about what really drives profit and cash flow
• And it gives you something to share with stakeholders
• Never send a model that shows failure -fix the assumptions, then get to work
Interesting File of the Week
• The Inner Circle: Deals & Capital launches August 12 at 3pm Eastern
• This is a free, private Zoom group for founders, executives, and advisors
• We meet every other Tuesday to
• Pitch deals
• Share challenges
• Get feedback
• Sharpen strategies
Struggles of the Week
• July and August - hard to gain traction; You can close a deal, but you can't really start one
• Reminded again that closings fall apart when admin is a mess
• We offer virtual, fractional controllership and bookkeeping at a reasonable cost to help you get your house in order
