In this episode of the Lazy Wealth Creation Podcast, Carl welcomes Rebecca Bonington, the CEO of Tricress and a seasoned business coach, to discuss strategies for achieving significant growth in small to medium-sized businesses. Rebecca shares her insights on the importance of establishing a strong management team, creating a positive company culture, and implementing effective systems to ensure sustainability and legacy.

• KEY TAKEAWAYS
  Focus on Legacy: Business owners should aim to create a sustainable legacy by building strong management teams and a positive company culture, which can lead to long-term success and the ability to pass the business on to future generations.
• Importance of Systems: Establishing effective systems within a business is crucial for scalability and growth. Without systems, a business can struggle to maintain stability and efficiency.
• Accountability in Coaching: A successful business coach holds clients accountable for their progress, providing support and guidance while ensuring that they stay on track with their goals.

BEST MOMENTS
"If you don't have systems in your business... your business just falls over. You have to establish your culture and then build the steel structure—those are the systems."

"You have to allow people to pursue things that resonate with them. Otherwise, they are living somebody else's life according to their rules. And that's just misery making."

"I've been doing a little bit of business development in business schools across the UK, and I've been looking at the heads of the business schools, the heads of the MBA. Not one of them that I came across has ever built their own business and exited it."

"The mindset is very different for an individual who is the employee versus the mindset of the business owner who's prepared to take risk, who's prepared to put their house on the line, get a mortgage, and pay down some debt to build a business from nothing."
