This week Jeremy Rettig and Chris Stanly bring on their first guest to the Adjusting to 6-Figures Podcast. Jason Heenan is the co-owner of Royal Adjusting Services, an independent property insurance adjusting firm based in Fort Worth, Texas. Jason joins the duo to share the story of how he hit his limit, refused complacency, and acted on his crazy idea to start his own business.

Jason's conviction comes from an ignorant belief in himself. His approach is if you're not sure how to do the job, get the job and figure it out. This philosophy may lead to many different types of failures, but Jason's 6-Figure mindset does not interpret failures as failure, but as trial and error to push forward and pivot. This helps Jason and his team focus on the things that they know work and attracts the right type of people.

Tune in as Jason, Jeremy, and Chris discuss the keys to great leadership, how to foster a comfortable work environment where employees can grow, as well as how Jason has kept balance in his physical, mental, and spiritual health.

What You Will Learn:

• Necessity breeds innovation
• What is a roofing adjuster?
• How you can start your own adjusting business
• How to stay open-minded
• Owning up to your shortcomings
