    3. What To Do With Leftover Profits at the End of the Year

    It’s an exciting position to find yourself in: having more money than needed for immediate expenses at the end of the year. So, the big question is: what should you do with these leftover profits? Should you reinvest, save, support your community, or do a mix of the above? In this episode, we share the exact thought process to follow to make sure you’re stewarding your extra profits well. ➡️ If you’d like a more step-by-step approach to your annual strategic planning, download our free Strategic Planning Guide! Some key takeaways from this episode include: If your business is holding any high-interest debts, such as credit card debt or small business loans, pay those off first. Interest rates eat into your profits, and clearing these will free up your cash flow in the long term.  Investing wisely acts as a 'force multiplier'—streamlining operations, increasing capacity, and ultimately stimulating growth. When investing in your community, it's crucial to understand the needs of the people and causes you wish to support and align your contributions with those needs effectively. You started your business to make an impact in the world, but now you’re too busy and burned out on the day-to-day operations to serve your community. That’s where we come in!

    2. Strategic Planning for 2025 | What People Get Wrong About Planning for the Year

    Strategic planning is crucial for the success of your company in the upcoming year, but there are so many things that organizations get wrong when it comes to planning. In this episode, we break down the mistakes we often see during the strategic planning process, and how you can avoid them to make 2025 the best year yet.  ➡️ If you’d like a more step-by-step approach to your annual strategic planning, download our free Strategic Planning Guide! Some key takeaways from this episode include: Use your core values and shared vision as the guardrails for your strategic planning. Your goals should all align with your core values and mission objectives and get you closer to your vision of success. Don’t conduct your strategic planning in a bubble. All of your key stakeholders and team members should bring the data and insights they’re responsible for to ensure you’re setting data-driven goals. Hope is not a strategy. You shouldn’t only plan how much money you want to generate, but also how you’re going to make that money. What are your core offers? Does the pricing make sense? How are you reaching ideal customers? You started your business to make an impact in the world, but now you’re too busy and burned out on the day-to-day operations to serve your community.

    1. What It Actually Means to Build an Impact-Driven Business + How to Keep Impact at the Forefront

    Welcome, Changemakers! In the first-ever episode of the Changemakers Collective podcast, we’re talking about the ethos of our company: impact. Impact is so much more than a slogan, a list of core values, or even a lump sum donation. It’s about leveraging your company to solve problems in your community, and we’re here to show you exactly what that looks like and how you can start amplifying the voice of change and multiplying your impact today. Some key takeaways from this episode include: You can’t serve who you don’t know. It’s imperative that you get to know the community you’re trying to serve. You will make a much more meaningful impact when you understand who they are and what they actually need. Donating to a cause is great, but how do your business’ services impact the community? That’s the key difference between charity and impact, and it’s how you catalyze change in your community. If you don’t care about who gets credit, you can multiply the impact through collaboration. If you look at other organizations trying to solve the same problem as competition, you’re missing the point of impact.  You started your business to solve a problem and leave a lasting impact in the world, but now the inertia of your business has taken over and you’re too busy and burned out to serve your community. That’s where we come in! Hosted by Scott Woods and Steff Thomas, the team behind Silverback Ventures, the Changemakers Collective podcast is here to help impact-driven business owners like you accelerate growth and multiply impact through servant leadership.
