Crushing It In The Digital Revolution

So often I get calls from friends and clients wanting to update their website. I ask... WHY? The answer is always... we need to get new customers. The idea that a silver bullet like updating your website, changing your logo or buying Google AdWords will immediately result in new customers won't work. You need to be thinking multi-step marketing campaigns, and nurturing relationships is the only way to get the attention of your prospect and gives you the opportunity to serve them. We will go over all this and more in this podcast!

In this podcast, I will discuss how one of my key vendors has managed to kill the entrepreneurial spirit in their business. They are forcing our hand to sign a ridiculous contract and creating a win/lose contract which has come out of pure greed. Jake and I will discuss this and much more in this podcast.

I've been providing local business leaders with assessments for many years and I'm happy to say it has allowed most of these people the oppurtunity to take action and really make an impact on secuing informaiton for their clients, share holders and employees. On the other hand I have seen many horrible assessments that make me question what the provider was really trying to do for their customer other than steal their money and provide almost no value. In this podcast I'll discuss what you should be looking for when you have an assessment like this performed. All this and more!

I've talked to a lot of business leaders and business owners and many have said, our data is completely secure. The truth is no one has a completely secure system and unless you are doing one particular thing you are not even close to being secure! I'll reveal this secret and much more in this podcast.

Being an entrepreneur and running a business is very rewarding, I love it! I wouldn't be telling the truth if there were days or times when it got tough, and it wasn't fun. It was times like that when I was tested, and as a result, I became a better leader and ultimately more successful. I've seen a couple of recent cases when I felt the leadership made some terrible decisions and as a result, I believe will only hurt their business because of the decisions that made. I hope you enjoy this podcast and the others I've created!

My son, Jake, and I have been contacting hundreds of local business leaders following up on an invite to our May 24th event. I've had many conversations, some good and some bad. I've learned a lot throughout this process over the years and I've discovered a few things that I need all of you other business leaders to fix! This podcast will discuss the conversations and the secrets you need to improve your sales team which will really help me.

After taking a couple of weeks away I've discovered something that is costing our business a lot of time and money. One piece flow is the anti-assembly line concept that increases effciencies.  When you pick and and put something down multiple times during an assembly process it slows you down, creates more work and is inefficent. I go over this idea and much more in the podcast!

Making a significant change in how you operate your business can be very rewarding. Most projects are delayed and more expensive because of just a few key reasons. We will discuss ways we have had success and failures and why in this podcast.

Setting goals is easy and necessary to move forward in your business, family or personal life. In this podcast we will review ways to help you crush your goals and get where you want to go faster! We will go over ways to make it fun too!

Yesterday I had a woman get upset and blocked me on Linkedin. To her defense my message to her was aggressive, and I've changed our approach, but we have sent that same message to over 100 others without negativity. The point is if you don't upset someone once in a while you are probably not marketing. You have to create a pattern interrupt to grab attention, and then you got to have something of value to say. This podcast covers all this and more.
