Business Buyer/Owner Discusses His Journey and Lessons Learned

Craig Halena îs the owner of Buyken Metal Products and Valley Nut & Bolt. He bought Buyen at the end of 2016 and has doubled sales and tripled profits, all with 2/3 the number of employees from when he bought it.

He purchased Valley in 2023 and is implementing the same improvements. Listen as he discusses:

• Know your strategic advantage
• Acting like an owner not an employee
• Don't say yes to everything (be willing to shed customers)
• Move faster, eliminate bottlenecks
• Improve and document systems
• Delegate and don't be cheap (with employees)

It's not easy owning a business an especially dynamically growing one while making better margins. Craig is truly a success story.
