Punch Above Your Weight: Success On Any Budget


To come out on top as a new firm, Max Antony knows that you must get creative, niche down, and never give up. He started with a shoestring budget and has grown over the past five years to a staff of four. Attorney at Antony Law Group, Max is living proof that even a solo attorney on a shoestring budget can punch above his weight and develop a thriving practice. He shares the most difficult parts of starting a new firm – and how to get through them. When his firm had no marketing budget, he found success by tapping into social media. And he explains how building a network can help your firm succeed.

Key takeaways:

– Slow and steady wins the race to success. Even if your first hire is a part-time high school student and your only marketing is on social, it is possible to grow.

– When the budget opens up, consider purchasing a #clientmanagementsoftware and ensure your website is in order.

– #GoogleReviews boost your #rankings. Seasoned and fresh firms alike need to tap into their existing client base and ask for reviews to help lead the pack.

Ep 253 Peter Carlin How to Punch Above Your Weight Class With Acquirers


Peter Carlin started Logicearth to improve how companies teach their employees online. They built e-learning courses that were almost as good as being there in person. They caught the attention of a marketing agency called The Creative Engagement Group (TCEG), which had clients that needed online courses.

It was around this time that Carlin and his partner Paul McKay were finding it frustrating to break into larger accounts – many of which TCEG already had. They decided to explore a partnership that quickly evolved into an acquisition offer from TCEG.

�� Listen to the podcast here
https://builtto.se/tunein

This episode has several critical lessons for aspiring value builders:

Punch above your weight class: despite having just two dozen employees, Logicearth ranked ahead of giants ten times their size on a Google search. They hired a digital marketing professional full time and invested heavily in a website that made them appear much more significant than they were. All of which got the attention of acquirers looking to invest in online corporate education and searching for the most prominent players in the industry.

Vet your acquirers: Over the years, Carlin had received multiple acquisition offers, but most had some sort of catch. In one case, an acquirer simply offered Carlin and McKay a job; in another, the acquirer offered shares in their company, but Carlin and McKay were not entirely comfortable with how those shares would be valued. Carlin and McKay agreed to an earn-out with TCEG but not before negotiating every last detail right down to how their P &L would be calculated as a division of TCEG.

This episode features several additional wisdom pearls, including:

• How to negotiate your earn-out
• How to weed out unscrupulous acquirers
• How to retain creative people
• The one thing most entrepreneurs forget when negotiating a Letter of Intent
