Built a family business into a national franchise. Now I help professionals leave the corporate life through franchise ownership.
If you are going to start a business I encourage you to view it as a “reinvention. ”“Old” you wasn’t built for the new environment New identity New vocabulary Likely new/expanded social circle You will want an open mind and youthful curiosity to make the most of it. I’m…
If you are going to start a business, I encourage you to view it as a “reinvention” of yourself from the beginning of your exploration. Your “old” self wasn’t a business owner, don’t expect that version to succeed in the new environment.
Don’t apologize for running a profitable business with strong margins. This is the fuel that allows you to improve the lives of your team members… $13 million revenue: Added 100% paid health insurance for field teams $18 million revenue: Awarded all PTO days on the date of…
What is competition? If there’s 10 other listings on Google that do the same thing that you do, can you be certain it’s competition? Make sure you measure the sophistication and marketing powers of a company before you honor it with the term: competition.
Before you consider starting g a business, do a gut check. Do challenges motivate you or push you away? Easy early filter for business aptitude.
Hire like a pro (hidden tricks): Look in their car: how they treat their vehicle is a reflection of how they run their life and how they will treat your stuff Pay them to ride with you (or your top installer) for two weeks: you will learn everything you need to know in the…
Seeing a lot of people hating on the 50-year mortgage plan. This is going to make owning cheaper than renting. Make real estate investment much better for cash flow. Why is this bad then? Am I missing something?
You are missing the point, it’s not that cutting out $6/day in Starbucks ($2,200/year) is going to change your financial outlook. It’s the change the mindset, and likely the dozens of other line items that are defects, that’s where the impact lies. It’s the exact same thing…
Don’t forget about all of the tax advantages of owning a business. You W2 “profits” are worth about 30% more spending power when converted into owners benefit when owning the business. If the general public understood how little business owners paid in taxes, there would be…
Don’t take it for granted. The reason it looks easy or feels easy is because someone worked their ass off long hard before you ever saw what was happening.
Most deals are not worth waiting in line for. Measure your productivity vs the time spent and there has to be a better way. Just spent an hour in line and left as I realized it was going to take an hour more. I have stuff to do.
A healthy business takes and gives. A healthy business has benefit and burden. Unhealthy businesses only have one. #BusinessIntelligence #EntrepreneurLife
YouTube is restructuring. CEO Neal Mohan blames AI disruption. Employees get buyout offers; no forced cuts yet. Amazon cut 14,000 jobs this week for the same reason. Easiest time to find a job is when you don't need one. Same for starting a business. #CareerFreedom
Look around… more empty chairs? Doing more work without more pay? Corporate’s shifting—and not for you. AI and “efficiency” mean fewer people, same grind. You have options. Ask the hard questions. Bet on yourself. #futureofwok #careershift #entrepreneurmindset #leavecorporate
Local biz = you serve customers. Franchise = your customer is the franchisee—expecting big-league support. Your mission: - Listen - Systemize - Improve Every complaint = a clue. Every fix = growth. #franchiselife #businessgrowth #leadership #entrepreneurer
Just another quiet night by the fire… until my neighbor shows me TRAIL CAM FOOTAGE from 600ft away, right next to my backyard! A mountain lion AND a black bear 😳 I always heard the NW of Montana was wild, but I never imagined they were literally camping out in the trees beside…
Texas problems vs Montana problems... The butter dish...In Texas, it gets so hot that the butter is nearly liquid 24/7/365. In Montana, the butter stays solid as a rock and you better put it on something really hot to dream of spreading it. New place, new problems... #ButterWars
“Never take a job from someone, they can always take it back.” I didn’t get it...until the first time I got "released". A paycheck isn’t a promise. Security comes from betting on yourself. What is it going to take to bet on yourself?? #Entrepreneurship #CareerOwnership…
It’s Thursday and I’m going fly fishing. Why? Because I control my calendar. I built a business so I could build a life. Sure, it’s risky...like walking a tightrope over a canyon. The view, the growth, and the freedom make every step worth it. In the corporate world, a day like…
