The Winning Momentum Podcast with Scott Sinclair
Winning Momentum is for business leaders, entrepreneurs, owner managers, related professionals and students of business. It is about improved business performance, leadership and crisis management. Turning negative momentum into positive momentum that, in turn, renews energy and passion, attracts resources, both human and financial, and relieves the destructive personal and family pressures that come with a struggling business. Winning Momentum content consists of three parts: 1. Leadership Skills: Because troubled businesses need leadership to change. 2. Mindset Development: Because troubled businesses are always limited by the personal habits and mental filters of its leaders. 3. Technical Skills: Because running out of money during a turnaround is not an option.
The Winning Momentum Podcast with Scott Sinclair
Week in Review – August 8, 2025 | Sinclair Range
This week at Sinclair Range, we spent serious time preparing for The Inner Circle: Deals & Capital. The calls start Tuesday, August 12 at 3 p.m. Eastern and continue every other Tuesday. If you’re raising capital, restructuring, or navigating challenges — show up.
In This Episode:
• Lesson of the Week:
Be a magnet. You can’t sell financial deals — people have to want in. Structure and storytelling make the difference.
• Interesting Deal:
Refinancing and restructuring for a client with a major receivable standoff. The customer says they’re owed payments that were never contracted. If the company had collected, they likely wouldn’t be insolvent. Now we’re preparing to push the conversation forward — starting with attention.
• Struggles of the Week:
Dealing with lenders who haven’t caught up to the current situation. When the only thing left to sell is growth, the story has to be real — and built on trust.
• Musings
On governments and not-for-profits: broken processes get excused, but they don’t get fixed. What do you do? Be the best option. Make them want to work with you.
