Business Bootcamp

You don't sell products or services! You sell the reactions that your product/service creates. The food, mowed lawn, built house, etc are just the vehicle to create a positive reaction by your client.

In this episode, I get real personal and I debate whether to share this vulnerability with my team. I encourage you to at least consider the same idea of being vulnerable... it might just change the business relationships you share with employees.

The Amazon/Whole Foods acquisition was a match made in heaven, and there is a lot to learn from Samsung on how they are marketing the new Galaxy S8 using influencer marketing.

Positivity wins, but negativity still stings! I got a couple bad online reviews for my landscaping business and, yes, it really hurts... Now I need to double down on giving positivity a voice and letting satisfied customers give their online reviews.

Today I share about what my company is up to and the decisions that we have coming up next week to start a second location and franchise the concept.

This was an internal off-site meeting I had with my team at Augusta Lawn Care Services. We talk about how we are going to take the business from 1 million to 10 million in sales... and the changes needed to get there.

I share my story of going to college at age 13 and how I went from pre-med student to entrepreneur. I don't usually share any interviews on the show, but BeeInfluenced is a new podcast and I love helping other young podcasters grow their audience.

There is a life cycle to every business... newborn, toddler, adolescent, adult, etc. Today, I talk about her my business in -- that hyper-growth part called puberty!

I have been listening to an amazing audiobook called "Extreme Ownership." I highly recommend you listen to it if you are a small business owner or leader within your organization.

This is a follow-up to episode 184. In this show we talk about the WHEN aspect of hiring middle management. Several of you had emailed me with questions as far as what indicators tell you it is time to hire out areas of your business.
