In this inspiring episode of "The Real Bottom Line," host Wendy Brookhouse is joined by serial entrepreneur Cathy Bennett, whose extensive career ranges from successfully running the largest female joint venture in Canada within the McDonald's franchise system to serving as the Finance Minister of Newfoundland. Cathy shares invaluable insights into the lessons learned from her time in the fast-food industry and how these experiences propelled her into a diverse array of business ventures, including construction, real estate, and even venture capital through Sandpiper Ventures, focusing on empowering female entrepreneurs. Throughout the conversation, Cathy emphasizes the critical importance of strategic exit planning, the power of mentorship, and the necessity of fostering a supportive team. Her journey not only highlights the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurship but also sheds light on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women in the business world.


Key Takeaways from the Episode:



 * The Value of Franchise Experience: Cathy attributes much of her success to the foundational skills and disciplines learned from the McDonald's franchise system. "You get to refine your problem-solving and your strategic thinking very significantly with that type of intensity."
 * Diversification and Opportunity Seizure: From owning McDonald's franchises to launching a venture capital firm for women, Cathy's journey underscores the importance of seizing opportunities and diversification. "Where I saw an opportunity that financially made sense, and where our team had the capacity to expand, we expanded."
 * Strategic Exit Planning: Cathy advises entrepreneurs to start planning for the sale of their business from day one. "The day you buy a business, you should really be thinking about it... because at some point, that time is inevitable."

 * Mentorship and Empowerment: Cathy shares stories of mentorship and its impact, emphasizing the importance of empowering the next generation. "It was a similar path that I walked when I didn't have the capital, but ultimately a partnership was an opportunity for me."


Quotes from Cathy:

 * On making decisions: "It's really difficult not to make really quick decisions when every lunch hour... is a make-it or break-it type of experience."
 * On the importance of a supportive team: "If we became stagnant, then the opportunities for [the team] became stagnant."

A true entrepreneur at heart, at the age of 11, Sophia seized her first opportunity to solve a problem when her family returned to live in the Seychelles after immigrating to Canada 7 years earlier. She started selling healthy sandwiches and homemade popcorn during recess to replace the junk food offered in the schoolyard!

At the age of 28, she moved on to a more significant challenge: the labour shortage in Canada. She co-founded a company specializing in the relocation and integration of foreign workers to address the pressing labour shortage.

Sophia set a goal to double her company's revenue every year, which she achieved with her partner and team. This goal was accomplished through her hard work and dedication to both her business and family balance. The fact that the success of her company resulted in a seven-figure acquisition agreement is a testament to her leadership and strategic vision.
