Idan Shpizear is a speaker, thought leader and the founder of 911 Restoration Franchise. He shares how to find alignment within yourself in order to grow your business and why this will help you care for your customers.

Define Your Purpose

Businesses that define their purpose and values are better positioned for long-term success in an ever-changing climate. Idan believes that in order to align your business and your vision, you must first ensure you have found alignment within yourself.

“As a leader if your vision is not really connected to who you are… I think we need to embody our vision… First of all, you need to spend time with yourself and really connect with where you want to be, who you want to become, and why it’s important to you.”

Once you become clear on your mission, bring your team in and ask them for their thoughts and opinions. Idan shares that your vision should have a life of itself. Make sure everyone on your team feels as passionately about it as you do, because you want your organization to work as a whole - not as a bunch of individuals.

A Fresh Start Attitude

911 Restoration and its team are dedicated to living a ‘fresh start’ attitude. Idan describes this mindset as being the positive in every negative situation as well as providing support for every member of the team. You are there to be of service to your client. Once you adopt this mentality everything else will fall into place.

“We’re going back to empowering every person in the company and we know that once you’re empowered, everybody around you will kind of get that sense, get that feeling as well. So, it’s really, are you fit for service? When you go out there to work with somebody who is going through a disaster - water damage or fire - are you really present to be there for them and support them?” 

You want to be the calm in your client's traumatic storm. When you are worried about how your team members are, how your business is running or anything else that is happening in the background, you are not giving your client your full attention. You are adding to the chaos they are already experiencing.

Be The Person Who Listens

Most people want to be heard and listened to. If you are actively listening to your clients and helping them through their tough times, you will gain their trust. Plus, when you really listen, Idan says, you don’t need to sell anything because people will tell you exactly what they want.

Personal Development in Business

It is not about what you want to have in life, it is about who you want to become. You will find a greater sense of fulfillment from the level of contributions you make to your work, your family and your community. Find alignment with who you want to be and success will follow.

“When you put a light on a limited belief, it dissolves, it gets transformed. Suddenly I am seeing I am not working hard but I am making more money. I am putting meaningful relationships and adding value at the core of what I do. So it’s not about how much money can I make, it’s about can I build a meaningful business with that person. Can you really be aligned on the business and mission… Once my focus was on that, the growth was unbelievable. So when you chase something, you’re just really pushing it further away from you.”

Idan closes with the advice to start nurturing yourself, learn new information, and do things that bring you closer to who you want to become.
