Why Are We Here?

Good Question!  Our goal is to help business owners discover some of the minefields, i.e. with employees, partners, ownership, etc.  In our 32 years as business owners, we blew up more than a few of the largest minefields ourselves.  We had great employees except for a few who caused a problem or two.  

Owners?  Partners? Employees? Customers?  We experienced new challenges every year.  Some were expected simply because we are all individuals and have our own ideas.  Others surprised us while a few made no sense to us.

Setting goals makes sense for a business owner.  Hiring the best talent and skilled employees is a good decision, too.  It's the small pieces of the puzzle, the small expenditures, often the every day decisions you make that builds profits, growth and expansion. 

However, it takes only 1 or 2 costly mistakes to get your attention.  We'll share a few big blunders that were very expensive to us.  Easy fixes we overlooked and you can easily avoid.

Your insurance coverages, liabilities, salaries, ownership, accounting and legal issues can drive you bonkers.  Simple things that get under the radar.... ONE word, a short phrase, etc. is all you need in a legal document to change your future. 

None of us like conflict.  However, TRUST and equitable sharing of the values are critical to success in every business.  Too many "good" buddies are wonderful pals until you add work and money into the equation.  An equitable solution or guideline is seldom the same for any two people in business together.

Change happens and should be expected.  Original ownership of a business is not always equitable long-term.  Nothing can replace the values of honesty and integrity within the ranks.  Your goal is to build a valuable asset with a fair equity for everyone.

Don Monteith Blog

We're delighted that you have joined us here and hope you'll stop by our blog site and join us there, too. 

Our focus is on a home based business to build a Plan B to give each of us financial security.  Nothing is more exciting than an added income stream when your boss gives you a pink slip in the future.  Down sizing and outsourcing continue to plague the American landscape in many industries.

Just in case we happen to fall victim when it's least expected.  None of us get much warning when a department gets moved to another state and often out of the country.  Financial security is our goal for you and your family.

We've written a number of articles about the home based business area as well as franchising challenges.  Every business requires your personal due diligence before, not after, you spend or invest your cash.  

Our writings are the result of 40 plus years in the business arena.  As you might surmise, there's lots of curves in the road when you have business partners, employees, vendors, taxing authorities, rules and regulations to follow.  Legal counsel, insurance advisers, accountants are imperative if you expect to build a successful business.

We have a PhD from the "School of Hard Knocks" where the rubber meets the road everyday.  There's a huge difference in learning from the college books vs experiencing the real world of business on a daily basis. 

Join us and we'll learn together.  None of us have all the answers and new questions arrive daily.  Life is GOOD anyway and owning your own business is usually a good choice.  Ask questions, share your own experiences and we'll all learn more each day.

Be sure to stop by and visit our blog today.

 Kindest regards,

Welcome!

Welcome to Monteith Partners, we're glad you're here.  If this is your first time to visit us...... great!  Come on in now!

Nothing pleases us more than new friends stopping  by our store to see what we are all about.  Sometimes we wonder ourselves but just know that we're trying to learn too.

ONline or OFFline makes no difference to us.  Both have the same challenges and opportunities to succeed or fail.  Our goal is to help you be in the 10% group vs the 90% who end up out of business and usually broke in spirit and funds [money] long gone.

Thanks for letting us meet you and share a few ideas.

Got questions?  Ask and if we don't have a clue you can be sure that we'll do our very best to find you an answer.
