35:56

Welcome back to ‘The Cash Rich Exit Podcast’! I’m your host, Colleen O'Connell-Campbell, Wealth Advisor. Today, we continue our conversation with Eric Deschamps, a leadership and business coach who talks about the often-overlooked issue of loneliness in leadership. Eric brings insights on how to navigate isolation, especially for those at the top who may feel the weight of leading, without a peer group to lean on. 🌟 Redefining Leadership Loneliness: Eric opens up about the reality of isolation many leaders experience, describing it as a "silent pandemic," especially for men who may lack a support system outside of work. He emphasizes that leadership is about making hard decisions AND about finding the courage to seek connection and support. 🧠 Navigating the "Lone Wolf" Mindset: We explore the common “lone wolf” mindset often encouraged in leadership, where self-reliance becomes a double-edged sword. Eric explains the difference between standing strong in solitude when necessary and living in prolonged isolation, which can negatively impact both personal and professional growth. 💪 Strategies for Overcoming Isolation: Eric shares actionable advice on creating a network of support, finding mentors, and establishing an inner circle for meaningful connection. He stresses the importance of reaching out, sharing vulnerabilities, and moving from self-imposed isolation to a mindset of connection and openness. 💼 Key Takeaways for the Self-Made Nation: Loneliness Isn’t Permanent: Recognize that isolation can be a temporary phase and that you have the power to change it. Embrace Vulnerability: True connection begins when you’re willing to show your authentic self. Find your People: Seek a community or mentor group to share both your challenges and triumphs. Thank you for listening to this valuable discussion, and stay tuned for the final part of our series with Eric. As you hit play on this episode, please drop me a 5-star rating.

Welcome back to The Cash Rich Exit Podcast! I’m your host, Colleen O'Connell-Campbell, Wealth Advisor to business owners working towards a cash rich exit. In today’s episode, we kick off part one of a three-part conversation with business and leadership coach, Eric Deschamps. Eric brings a wealth of knowledge, sharing insights into maintaining work-life balance - though, as you'll hear, he prefers the term "work-life rhythm". 🎙 The Ebb and Flow of Life and Business: Eric talks to me about the importance of understanding that life and business are not meant to be perfectly balanced, but rather harmonized in an ebb and flow. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing different seasons in life and business and how to adjust to them, rather than striving for unrealistic balance. 🛠 Tackling Burnout: Eric shares his personal experiences with burnout and highlights the common signs entrepreneurs face, including fatigue, irritability, and lack of motivation. He discusses how taking time off is only part of the solution. To truly overcome burnout, systemic changes and mindset shifts are necessary. 🧠 The Power of Leadership and Self-Care: As a coach, Eric has worked with thousands of leaders. He explains that effective leadership is about more than business strategies - it’s about personal growth, mindset shifts, and prioritizing self-care. By focusing on yourself and investing in your own well-being, you bring the best version of yourself to every role, both personally and professionally. 📈 Key Takeaways for Entrepreneurs: Watch for Burnout: If you’re asking yourself, “Am I burnt out?” you likely are. It’s time to seek help and make changes before burnout derails you. Delegate Wisely: Leaders must delegate tasks effectively to focus on the highest and best use of their time, rather than getting bogged down in minor tasks. Recognize your Season: Understand that life and work come in seasons - sometimes your business needs more attention, and sometimes your personal life does. Adjust your priorities accordingly. Are you feeling the weight of balancing business and life? It might be time to evaluate your current situation and your future exit strategy so you can focus on securing your financial future. Reach out to me for a complimentary one-on-one wealth gap analysis, and let's start crafting a plan that gives you the freedom to live your best life while building toward a cash-rich exit.

Welcome (back) to The Cash Rich Exit Podcast! I'm Colleen O'Connell-Campbell, your host and Wealth Advisor, dedicated to guiding you, the Self Made Nation, through the pivotal transitions of your entrepreneurial journey. Today, I’m calling your attention to a topic that is perhaps not as talked about as it should be by Canadian CEOs, founders, and business owners: preparing for a future where selling your business might not be an option. It’s a reality that 91% of business owners over 55 are facing without a formal succession plan. In this episode I’ll give you the primer you need to start planning. 🔍 Understanding the Importance of Early Planning: Tax Minimization: Strategies to reduce your tax liability as you transition your business. Strategic Business Transition: How to plan effectively for handing over your business reins. Planning for Retirement and Financial Freedom: Ensuring your post-business life is secure and fulfilling. Wealth Transfer: How best to pass on your wealth to the next generation. We'll explore these areas through the story of "Sally", a CEO-Founder of a consultancy firm whose business model relied heavily on her daily involvement. When a health crisis struck, the lack of a protective business framework led her business to falter, highlighting the critical need for robust planning. 🛡️ Key Takeaways you’ll Gain from this Episode: Understand your Wealth Gap: Identify what resources you need to maintain your lifestyle without the business’s daily operations. Consider Protection: The importance of critical illness insurance* or similar safeguards to protect against unforeseen health issues that could impact your business and personal finances. Plan for Non-Sale Exits: Develop strategies for exiting your business that don't rely on finding an external buyer but secure your legacy and financial future. 🌟 Sally's Story as a Learning Tool: Sally's experience underscores the necessity of a wealth gap analysis and having a plan that encompasses the ideal exit and prepares for unexpected challenges. 📈 An Invitation to Action: If Sally’s situation resonates with you, or if you're starting to think about your exit strategy, whether it’s looming in the near future or further down the line, I'm here to help. I offer a complimentary one-on-one wealth gap analysis that can help you put in place a strategy to bridge financial gaps and prepare comprehensively for the future.
