Nick Adams is a serial entrepreneur and is the Vice President at Heirloom Property Management. Nick provides some unique insights from his experiences throughout his career, all the way back to starting a painting and remodeling company in college. In this episode, you’ll hear about implementing processes into your business, how to get the right people in the right roles, and what EOS can do for your company. 

 

Takeaways: 

  • Building the processes for your business does not happen in a linear progression. Often there are short burst intervals and you need the right people in place that can handle that. 
  •  When your business is facing a problem, you need to ask if it is an issue of people or process. Sometimes you can have a great person and a broken process. Othertimes, that person may be hitting their limit.
  • Adding personality assessments into your hiring process can help you make sure that you are getting the right person to fit the right role. 
  • Personality assessments can also help identify the ways people approach problems, which depending on their role, can differ from how you do. As a leader you need to tailor your approach to your team to help them in the ways that need to be helped. 
  • When your team is finding lots of problems with the way your company does something, don’t see it as a burden. Reframe it so that you can appreciate everything they’ve found and work together with them to create a better process that removes those issues.
  • The EOS system is a great way to develop KPIs and goals for your business that you can share with your team and build on with both weekly, quarterly, and yearly meetings. 
  • Entrepreneurs need to realize that they need to continue to grow and develop themselves and their skills or else they can become a hindrance to the growth of their company.
