HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Rick Day sold his Keiz- er-based business, Advantage Precast, in July 2017 and he’s now writing the next chapter in his career. “I’ve done consulting work, during the past 15 or 20 years, but I’m turning it into my pri- mary business with Focus Con- sulting,” said Day. Through Focus Consulting, Day is looking to assist small businesses and non-profi ts with their growth or succes- sion plans, but trying to keep the cost reasonable. Whereas some consultants might charge $60,000 a year, Day is charging a fl at fee of $500 a month or 5 percent of the business moving forward. “$60,000 a year is a full-time employee and a small businesses can’t afford it. $500 a month is a small amount, but I want to provide way more value than that. I can do return on invest- ment analysis for equipment, purchasing other business and market analysis,” Day said. Day’s experience in busi- ness and capitalization is no small thing. At the peak of the economy, he owned a dozen companies and was managing 50 properties. He had to sell off many of them to keep Ad- vantage Precast afl oat, but even the losses he suffered came with lessons. “I used to think I needed things, but after losing almost everything in the recession I realized I wanted some money to cover expenses, some money to travel and money to put into charity,” said Day, 57. It also helped him realize that not every business owner’s goals are the same. Those ex- periences now inform his con- sulting practices. KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Rick Day, the former owner of Advantage Precast, is looking to help other small businesses with decades of experience under his belt. “I’ve always assumed that most people want fi nancial se- curity and freedom and to be able to walk away from their business someday. That’s true for a lot of business owners, but with farm and forest industries, the owners are looking at sus- tainability and keeping a cul- ture alive,” Day said. With Focus Consulting, Day offers a free initial consultation and leaves it up to business and non-profi t stakeholders to decide whether they want to move forward. “With small business, I assess what the owner or the fami- ly hopes to accomplish, who their competitors are, what as- sets they possess and and where their processes might be more effi cient. We’ll look at what fi - nancial security looks like for them and what succession they need to plan for. I will also be honest in my assessment. I’m Man cuffed for purse-snatching A woman concerned for her safety led a boyfriend to Safeway on River Road North where the man stole her purse and cell phone Tuesday, Oct. 23. Keizer Police Department offi cers responded to Safeway about 12:30 p.m. on a report of a purse-snatching. The sus- pect in the incident was last seen fl eeing on foot toward Bailey Court Northeast. Offi - cers arrived on scene soon and observed a male subject run- ning through a grass alley. The man was stopped and detained without any resistance or hav- ing to use any force. The man no longer had the purse or phone, but the items were found nearby. While one offi cer remained with the male who had been detained, another offi cer re- turned to Safeway where he made contact with the female who had her purse and cell- phone stolen. The victim told offi cers the male suspect was a boyfriend and she was in the process of trying to end their relationship, which had angered him. Both individuals were transients and she had talked him into going to Safeway with her as she was growing increas- ingly concerned for her safe- ty. Once at the Safeway store, she said her boyfriend used physical force to steal her purse and the cell phone that was in- side. There were several witnesses to the incident who remained on scene to give a statement to the investigating offi cer, all of which supported the victim’s statements. The suspect was identifi ed as 36-year-old Alan Johnson Campbell. He was charged with assault in the fourth degree, robbery in the third degree, and theft in the third degree (purse snatching). He was transported to the Marion County Jail. not getting paid to sit around and blow kisses at anyone,” Day said. With non-profi ts, Day said his long history in the Sa- lem-Keizer area has connected him with the businesses posi- tioned to assist charitable ef- forts, but he feels he can make a bigger impact the earlier he gets involved. “With non-profi ts, I want to talk conceptually about what options we can bring to the ta- ble as far funding and construc- tion resources, and then look at what can be done to generate additional revenues alongside those projects,” he said. The success of the consulting business feeds into Day’s other project, Advantage Holdings. Through Advantage Holdings, Day purchases local homes on the lower end of the spectrum obituaries Joyce Graham Feb. 15, 1936 – Oct. 19, 2018 Joyce Graham passed away peacefully on Oct. 19, 2018, in Keizer, Ore.
