Construction Champions Podcast

On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Ron Nussbaum and Elizaveta (Elizabeth) Tylor talk about books and your numbers, how to be prepared for when Uncle Sam comes calling every year. Elizabeth gives us easy steps to get our numbers in order for our business as well! Elizabeth’s Bio Hello! My name is Elizaveta Tylor and I’ve always been passionate about connecting with people and trying to help them with their work overload. I know how hard it is for a business owner to carry all the weight and perform multiple tasks at the same time. I have seen plenty of business owners trying to gather their financials in a hurry to make sure they don’t miss tax filing deadlines. One of the biggest misconceptions is that business needs to have the books done just for taxes. In fact, knowing how to read your financial statements could lead you to a more prosperous and profitable entity. ​ You want to partner with a bookkeeper that would understand your business needs, someone you could brainstorm ideas and consult with, and share your concerns and success. I can help you stay in control of your numbers! Based in Grand Rapids, MI, I help not only local businesses to grow, but businesses all around the US. ​ When I partner with my clients it is a professional commitment that brings value. I record transactions, hold meetings to discuss the financial reports, make suggestions by providing honest feedback, come up with profitability and budgeting strategies and create a useful system for your business.

On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Ron talks with Laura Cooley who has devoted herself to helping create the future leaders in the construction industry. We dive into what is a champion. Laura’s Bio Over my career, I have morphed from an engineer to an on-site construction professional to a corporate leader to an entrepreneur. I have developed a deep respect for the industry and what I call the “Construction Miracle”. Even though I have been involved in multiple aspects of construction, I am always amazed that buildings are ever finished: so many people, so many challenges, so many tools, materials, and resources. It really seems impossible; and yet, the evidence is there for all to see in every road, bridge, and building. I have focused my energy on leadership development in the construction industry because I respect the work, the risks, the people it takes to make vison a reality. I like to think my work helps nurture business and future leaders. I believe healthy cultures are comprised of people who feel like they belong and are valued and that these environments are made and destroyed by the day-to-day human interactions at every level of an organization. This is why developing talent, cultivating leaders, building high-performance teams, operating effectively and efficiently are all intertwined and mutually important. When I consult, I emphasize the interaction of strategy, process, results, and people. When I conduct training, I seek to spark insight--I look for that moment when each person finds something they make their own so they can apply it the very next day. Being a BOD Board member is important to me because our industry can only be successful only when there is multi-discipline collaboration. The Construction Institute is one of the few organizations that specifically strives to break through our silos to bring visionaries, leaders, and practitioners together to improve the industry at large.
