E202: All Business is People Business with Glenn Lundy
With 20 years in the automotive industry, Glenn Lundy grew a dealership from 120 cars a month to an 800% increase in just five years, becoming the second-largest used car franchise in the nation. Then he had a midlife awakening.
Glenn realized he was only serving himself, not the future generations. So he left the dealership after eight years, at 40 years old, and with his wife pregnant with their seventh child at that time. Quit his job on a Monday, then flew to Las Vegas the next day – not to gamble, but to show up at the largest automotive event. There he built strong connections and ended up creating partnerships and profitable endeavors.
Now running three businesses under his leadership, Glenn knew there was no other way he would be able to build his legacy had he not made that leap!
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Episode Highlights:
[13:56] The Road to Leadership
Glenn always rose at the job in every job he ever had and ended up in leadership positions. Having established relationships with all different types of personalities within the industry, Glenn only began to translate that into an entrepreneurial gift set after he decided to go out on his own and build his own business.
[14:32] All Business is People Business
Once you’re able to dial in people’s talents, gifts, or assets, the sky's the limit on what’s possible. But you’ve got to hone your people skills. Get a better understanding of what people are made of because you can’t treat two people the same way.
[15:44] Building Your Legacy as an Entrepreneur
One of the reasons Glenn decided to build his business is the ability to build his own legacy as an entrepreneur. He realized that when you're working for a company, you're only building their legacy, not your own. And so, it was only serving him, but not the next generations.
[09:11] The Best Time to Quit
Before you quit your job, make sure you've maxed out the opportunity. Never leave because times are tough. Maybe the company is going down or things at work suck, so you’re going to quit. But the greats walk out when they’re at the top and everything is amazing.
