Not every member of the Resultants team shows up on the org chart. Some supervise our desks, claim the best seats and occasionally make themselves part of the workday, whether invited or not. 🐱

National Cat Day is a chance to celebrate them, while also remembering the cats still waiting for homes and the shelters and rescues caring for them.

Meet Stella, Kitty, Willow and Mei. Who keeps you company during the workday? Share a photo in the comments!

🧢 A lot of business owners get where they are by wearing a lot of hats. Sales, operations, customer issues, putting out fires. It comes with the territory.

But as the business grows, there comes a point when you can’t keep carrying all of it yourself.

The solution isn’t always another pair of hands. If you still have to assign the work, answer the questions, and keep things moving, you’re still carrying most of the load.

That’s where a strong second in command can make a difference. Bill Oelrich digs into what that can look like in his latest blog: https://theresultants.com/post/wearing-every-hat-in-your-business-its-time-to-hire-a-second-in-command/

The goal in business isn't to avoid every mistake. That's impossible.

The goal is to recognize mistakes sooner, learn from them, and make adjustments before they become bigger problems.

That insight is at the heart of the latest blog from Senior Business Advisor Steve Wilcox. Steve shares five common leadership pitfalls he's seen across organizations of all sizes and what leaders can do differently moving forward.

Busy doesn’t always mean you’re getting ahead. You just solve one problem, and another one seems to take its place.

When cash flow is unpredictable and taking a day off feels nearly impossible, it may be time to step back and find a better way forward.

If you own a small business, especially in the trades or services, some of this probably sounds familiar:

• Everyone still needs your permission for everything
• You had to run a job site yourself again, because someone didn't show
• The last few people you hired didn't work out
• Customers are putting off jobs until "things settle down"

Each of these traces back to one of nine specific, fixable areas inside your business. UNSTUCK is a 90-minute workshop to help you start moving forward again.

Wednesday, October 21, 7:30–9:30 AM
MNCPA Education Center, Bloomington | $50

Seats are limited - get more details and register here: https://UNSTUCK-Oct21-2026.eventbrite.com

Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for "Every Financial Statement Tells a Story" with guest speaker Tom Klein from TMG Consulting.

Each person in the room chose to invest part of their morning in professional growth. They asked questions, shared experiences, and explored how financial information can support better decision-making throughout an organization.

Stronger teams don't happen by accident. They are built by leaders who continue learning, challenging their thinking, and making time to grow.

We're grateful to have been part of the conversation.

From our whole team here at The Resultants, thank you.

Starting October 1, the SBA is adding new Quality of Earnings requirements for certain business acquisition loans in the $3M to $5M range. The regulation itself isn't the point.

The real takeaway is this: much of what banks and buyers will want to see has a three-year history behind it. Strong financial reporting. Consistent processes. Clean records. Reliable systems.

Things that can't be created at the last minute. They are built over years.

Whether you're considering an acquisition, a partner buyout, or succession planning, now is a good reminder to get your house in order before you need it.

Take a hard look at the financial information, processes, and documentation that support your business today. The sooner you identify gaps, the more time you'll have to address them.

A production stoppage gets everyone's attention.

And it should.

👉 But if leadership teams spend all their time reacting to visible problems, they'll often find themselves solving the same problems over and over again.

The real value of a leadership meeting isn't discussing what happened.

It's creating time each week to understand why it happened, determine what needs to be addressed, and assign ownership to solve it.
