EP 101- Part II - Dan Ward: The Minivan Monster Truck School of Business
This week, we continue with our compelling interview with Dan Ward who can best be described as a business Machiavelli in every sense of the word. How many guys do you know own a Llama and love minivans?
In this segment, Dan showcases his in-depth knowledge and acumen in business as it pertains to best practices, systems, processes, and diving into his thoughts on side hustles and the new way to capitalize on growing a business $10 at a time over the long-term.
In this episode of Step It Up Entrepreneur, Tom and Dan discuss an industry full of people who fall under the nickname “Fucktards,” and the simple fact that sometimes people focus on using the wrong principles to build and scale a business. They have a candid discussion and break down how knowing your numbers will predict the trajectory of your future in business. Dan and Tom also discuss the power of looking for additional streams of revenue inside of an existing business, and share a little about the network that makes it possible to collapse time and bring everything together with a flawless, systematic approach.
What You'll Learn:
- The one industry known affectionately as “Fucktards”
- Why being a leader requires you to be a talent scout and the efficiency at which you need employees to perform
- How knowing your numbers will allow you to narrow down your troublespots and scale your business effectively
- Golden nuggets of how to know it’s time of when to start a business
- The type of person you have to become to run and operate a successful small business
- Getting to know the type of employee you’re looking for in your organization to effectively maximize results
- Dan’s response to the question of when it’s time to take a side-hustle and make it into a full-time business
- A book shared that will allow you to implement recurring revenue models in any company
- And much more!
FAVORITE QUOTE:
“You can put recurring revenue models in any business. Let’s go back to the barbershop. Instead of saying, $25 haircuts, why not do unlimited haircuts for $20 per month. People are doing it on a small scale, but if you can get that and blow it up...it’s a high margin anyway, and you can do it with a lot of businesses. The biggest thing is recurring revenue.”
