Episode 215-Collaboration #6-Jonathan Goldhill on Growing a Family-Owned Business into the Next Gene

Welcome to Episode 214 of Building My Legacy.

Business coach and personal strategist Jonathan Goldhill has first-hand experience with family businesses. His family men’s apparel manufacturing company — started by his great-grandfather — was sold in its third generation of family ownership, most probably because Jonathan’s grandfather saw there really wasn’t a next-generation leader who could take the business to the next level. Today Jonathan provides business coaching, especially for family businesses that want to scale up as a new generation takes over the leadership. In this podcast Jonathan talks about the various factors that will help family-owned businesses and entrepreneurial companies grow into the next generation.

So if you want to know:

– What to look for in a next-generation leader in a family-owned business

– The importance of understanding personalities within a business and how people need to relate to one another

– What it means to have a “vivid vision” as well as the importance of being able to execute on that vision

– The importance of having a playbook to run your business
– How businesses can become saleable
