I help SMB owner/operators up their game. What’s UP mean to you? The answer’s not the same for everyone. Let’s talk about yours.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@ConnorAbene So true. Just make sure you're using the customers' definitions of problems, pain, and value - not yours. Not everyone defines them the same way.

@ChrisTwiggsPM @shawngorham With that jump in rents it's possible all your tenants will leave.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@JackieHirsch_ @blueprintsmb22 Isn't that way anybody has any habit?

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@pjmcgeary Probably 50% of the time I coach owners who have a problem employee, the employee improves when the owner becomes a better manager.

@andrewglynch Wait till you see the business plans presented to investors.

@andrewglynch @Camp4 I went to England once and it didn't rain.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@PGHNewLiberals @ProHousingPgh And a lot of them are really nice!

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

WOW. I live here and had to think for a minute about how he got this shot. Amazing.

Been a few weeks since I’ve posted but my day job (which is not photography) and my kids sports took over the month of May. But I’m back now, so here’s a view of the moon from yesterday morning in #pittsburgh. Thought it was pretty cool to include the Heinz Stacks and incline.

@KHendersonCo PS if anyone is interested in developing a "curriculum" I've got a lot of content. Hit me up.
It should be an MBO (master of business ownership) not MBA degree 😁

@KHendersonCo •My site - https://t.co/Z5x1i8nFHF
•My substack https://t.co/0gc4iLHYnT
•My Youtube Channel https://t.co/x6S2GgZf6s
have a lot of this stuff developed over more than 30 years. BUT not well organized. I'm working on revising the site to be more organized and link to it all

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@dylthorn You can't talk about that without considering the time value of money and opportunity costs. Yes there are people who talk about it.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@CarolWalshReal1 @Empty_America Do you know anyone with any political clout who is pushing this idea? I'd love to work on it.

Mayor @ZohranKMamdani signs an Executive Order repealing bedtime to watch the Knicks play in the NBA Finals

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@JulieChangRE I'm with you. Split the check evenly.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@CarolWalshReal1 @Empty_America 💯 A year for everyone. Let them pick a year between age 18 & 25. Military or other services. Assign them to live & work with people from different socio/economic/geographic backgrounds.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

So True.

How stock market bubbles work

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@Molson_Hart I don't think the money alone would get better people or the same people to act better. I've seen wonderful people and assholes at all income levels.

Yes they should be paid more - but without enforced guardrails on behavior that alone isn't sufficient.

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@Rainmaker1973 Very cool. Looks like some kind of exhibition.
Have the sheep done this before at this location? Do they know where they're wanted to go?

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

@DietCoke_Esq @SMB_Attorney Like any tool you need to know how to use it, what the dangers are, what you shouldn't use it for. The more powerful the tool, the more important the restrictions. Not to mention halucinations.
Too many people think "Oh, the output is words, I know how they work, I'm good."

[John Seiffer @BetterCeo]

Deals are sexy but the money is made in operations.

[ETA Journeyman @ETAJourneyman]

The Seller Transition:

Everyone talks about closing the deal.

Nobody talks about what happens the day the seller hands you the keys and is still standing there.

The transition period is the most underdiscussed chapter in SMB acquisition.

Here’s mine. 🧵
