This episode is Part 2 of a 2-part conversation with Mark C. Winters, co-author of Rocket Fuel and the foremost expert and Visionary/Integrator relationship. If you haven’t listened to part 1 of this episode, go do that now.

In part 1 of this 2-part conversation, Mark and I focused on the dynamics between a Visionary and an Integrator. What wasn’t shared in that episode is that great Integrators are RARE.

Mark and his team at Rocket Fuel University™ discovered there are 4 Visionaries for every 1 Integrator.

This means really good Integrators are hard to find…and even harder to keep.

If you want to learn where to look for your integrator, and more importantly, the principles for keeping them happy and effective, watch this video.

Episode Highlights:

-Where to find great Integrators both inside and outside your organization

You have a chance to give back to our host city of Albuquerque by participating in the pre-EXPO Paint-It-Forward project on February 21.

The Gibson Health Hub has deep historical ties to the local community. Formerly a hospital, many residents recall their children born or urgent care needs treated at this facility. After years of undergoing changes in ownership, the City of Albuquerque acquired it in 2021.

As part of the city's larger "One Albuquerque" initiative, the goal is to restore the facility to its former glory by creating a resource hub for people experiencing homelessness or suffering from addiction. Revamped services will now include addiction and psychiatric treatment as well as a women's shelter, a medical respite center, a sobering center, and even resources designed to assist people to find permanent housing and connect them to job opportunities.

PCA's Paint-It-Forward project will primarily focus on bringing the interior entrance back to life by restoring and repainting the iconic lobby. Your day of painting will leave a lasting impact on the residents of Albuquerque for generations.

Make sure to come early and participate. All you have to do is check the Paint-It-Forward box on your EXPO registration form.

Selling is not just transactional. It’s a form of relationship building.

On this episode of Estimate Rocket Radio, we are joined by Brandon Lewis of the Academy of Professional Painting Contractors to talk about building the type of business that has the long-term potential to sell.

But here's the trick: you can only sell the business you love. When you are building a business that is worthy of a good ticket price at the end, it inevitably becomes the type of business that you don't always WANT to sell. Why? Because the only businesses that sell with a profit are those that can still make you money. The conflict of whether or not to sell has to be real if you are to expect any serious offers on the business. Whether you choose to sell or not, building to this 'conflict of choice' is the way to build a truly profitable business in any economy.

This relationship is an integral part of the organization's success.

The Visionary/Integrator relationship is one I hear a lot of business owners wrestling with.

Here is why - A lot of you likely fall on the visionary end of the spectrum.

You have a head full of ideas and a heart full of passion. You took the entrepreneurial leap and gave birth to what would become the business you own and lead today.

You saw opportunities where others didn’t and you have a natural ability to see what you COULD build.

But here's the thing. Visionaries can wreck companies.

It’s possible to have too much vision and too many ideas. A Visionary can easily rip their team in a million directions or load them down with an unreasonable number of projects. Visionaries are also typically pretty terrible with holding accountability. And your business pays for that.

The answer is to find an integrator. But

Just because you find an integrator, doesn’t mean your business will thrive. The Visionary/Integrator relationship is like a marriage.

And just like a marriage needs frameworks, habits, and methods of communication that will set it up for a shot at long-term success, so does the relationship between a visionary and an integrator.
