If I can give one piece of advice, it’s to make data-driven decisions. Data on market trends and customer needs has moved my business forward. Trust the data! I spoke with Austin Linney, a seasoned innovator and entrepreneur, who shared how data helped him pivot from real estate to business acquisitions. By integrating data into every step of his business process, he was able to optimize operations, reduce risks, and build a resilient company. Today, he’s sharing how you can do it, too. 

About Austin Linney

But Austin’s life wasn’t always easy. He struggled with negative thoughts, self-sabotage, and alcohol addiction, which led to financial troubles and poor relationships. Hitting rock bottom, he decided to change his mindset and life, and now he focuses on helping others build businesses, achieve financial freedom, and grow personally.

Key Insights:

• Deliver great service. Positive customer reviews and feedback are critical indicators of business success as they build trust, attract new customers, and signal high-quality service.
• Balance big dreams with practical choices. Pick projects that make sense both financially and operationally. Austin compares the flashy appeal of big commercial jobs to the stability of residential projects in his business. 
• Use data wisely. Let data guide your decisions. Keep track of key metrics like call volumes and customer feedback to understand business trends and make informed choices about the next steps you want to take.
• Contribute to your community. Creating jobs and a positive impact not only adds to your business success but also fosters a positive social impact. This way, you build a loyal customer base and create a thriving environment that benefits everyone involved.
• Plan for the long term. Building a successful business takes time. I don’t believe in overnight success, and Austin also highlighted how planning ahead and being patient through the growth process can set you up for success.
