- S2E5 | Coaches Vs. Mentors | How one person can change your life (for free)Today we discuss what is a mentor and how that differs from a coach. Mentors come and go, but they are meant to provide us with invaluable insight on an industry that we are in or closely related to. Finding a mentor can be tough at times, but in all in the approach. We need to be genuine with our intentions, go into the interaction with the notion of making friends. Understanding that not everyone will be your mentor, but when you get one... you can/will change your life and help boost/change the trajectory of your business! Good luck, love you guys.....Listen to the podcast on-the-go:https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/gxSLuIa8Gxb...A Little About Me:I am an Indiana native who migrated down to Central Florida. I started my career in Corporate America, but wanted more for myself and my family. I quickly found success in Roofing, specially, Tile Roofs. I moved to Costa Rica for five years and continued my entrepreneurial journey there with Real Estate Development. Those five years taught me the ins and outs of clay tile and have been specializing in Tile for over 35 years! I came back to America and now sit on the board for the Florida Building Code for Roofing. I'm also a member of the Florida's Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association (FRSA). As I continue with my roofing business, I thoroughly enjoy helping and mentoring other entrepreneurs, guiding them to success!..Say hello with the links below!TikTok - tiktok.com/brad_hogannInstagram - instagram.com/brad_hogannFacebook - facebook.com/bradhogannWebsite - bradleyhogan.com25 min

- S2E2 | Product Vs. Service
Product vs. service... both have their pros and cons. With technology today, people can sell their products online from the comfort of their home. Service businesses can be an excellent way to create value for your clients and be compensated for it. There may be more work involved in the service industry, but there may be more of an emphasis on logistics with products. Both can be pretty lucrative if you plan it out! If you have any questions, let me know... I'd love to help!

- S1E12 | Finding Your Niche
Finding your niche is probably one of the most critical things you will do in your company. You can't please everyone, but you can put in the time and effort with a specific demographic. Niching up or down, you need to identify who your target it and what they need/want. When you can be the expert in your product or service, you create strong differentiators for your customers! Niching leads to opportunities in profitability.
