Buying a business sounds exciting. But finding the right one might be the harder part.
In the latest episode of Growth Under Pressure, Gretchen Roberts, CEO of Red Bike Advisors, talks about why she believes you shouldn’t settle just because you want to become a business owner.
Once you buy the business, you’re committed to it. And if there’s an SBA loan involved, as Gretchen puts it, you’re “married to that thing.”
A great conversation about knowing what you’re actually buying and making sure it’s the right fit.

Your business can be profitable and still run out of cash.
That’s one of the challenges of growing a business. Revenue can be increasing while cash gets tighter because of hiring, larger expenses, delayed customer payments, or investments made ahead of growth.
A 13-week cash flow forecast gives CEOs and founders a clear, rolling view of what’s coming in, what’s going out, and where cash is heading.
The value isn’t in predicting the future perfectly.
It’s in seeing potential problems early enough to do something about them.
Before you hire, invest, or accelerate growth, do you know what that decision does to your cash over the next 13 weeks?
We break down how a 13-week forecast can help you make those decisions with more visibility.

AI job interviews?
If you’re hiring, is AI helping you find the right people, or making it harder to know who you’re actually talking to?
And if you’re an applicant, do you use AI to ace the interview?
The bigger question is: How do we use AI to improve hiring without losing the human side of it?
I talked about this when I joined Chad Carden on his podcast. Curious to hear what you think.
What happens when the pressure goes beyond anything you’ve experienced before?
Tim Kelly shares what it was like to hit “Code Black” during the 2014 polar vortex, when the natural gas market went completely crazy.

That’s what operating under extreme pressure can look like.

You can make a mistake. It happens. Own it, apologize, and fix it.
But lying is a different story.

If it's close to the ethical line, don't do it.

Stop being so hard on yourself.
Striving for excellence is important. But don’t define yourself through the lens of someone else’s expectations.
That’s noise. Set it aside.
Know your values. Know what you’re passionate about. And have the confidence to stay true to yourself.
Dan Albaum shared this perspective in the latest episode of Growth Under Pressure as we talked about leadership, confidence, and the pressure to measure ourselves against everyone else.
In a world where social media constantly shows us what everyone else is doing, staying grounded in who you are matters more than ever.

Great leadership isn’t always about having the answers.
Sometimes, it starts with asking better questions.
