The Mark Haney Podcast

In this webinar, we review most recent guidance (June 23, 2020) and highlight notable changes from the SBA with regards to the PPP Loan Program and specifically on the requirements for applying for loan forgiveness.

I have always been a big dreamer. From the time I was a kid to this very day. I remember laying in bed talking to my younger brother almost every night about the day we would have the 10,000 sq ft house, circular driveway, and all the toys to go with it. 

Today in part 3 of my entrepreneurial journey Rick Spencer is diving into the BIG dream I am trying to make come true today. If a dream is not big enough I am simply not motivated enough to make it a reality. And let me tell you, this one is even big for me. I have never been more motivated to make a dream come true. 

Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg are all entrepreneurs that changed the world with their inventions. Have you heard of the entrepreneur that is in the process of changing the world right now and will soon be added to that list? 

In this week’s podcast I sit down with the most interviewed entrepreneur in America right now, Trevor Milton the Founder and Chief Executive Chairman of Nikola Corporation. We talk about the mindset it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and how Nikola is changing the world with electric and hydrogen powered vehicles.

 Trevor started Nikola in the basement of his house, and it is now valued over $30 Billion. He shares what it takes in order to take a company from startup to IPO. If there is one entrepreneur that you would want to learn from right now it is this man. 

How do you learn to lead a business? There are more books, classes and podcasts than I can count that offer to answer this question. For me, it took painful business mistakes to find my ability and voice to lead.

In this week’s podcast, episode 2 of a series where I am interviewed, I share my personal story on how I scaled a video surveillance company from 25 to 200 Million in annual revenue. Most importantly, I relive the mistakes, like how I lost a star performer and other team members to a competitor by managing from the press box. I also offer perspective on how entrepreneurs and business leaders can learn from my story.

Whether you are looking to be the best leader possible, or just want a more intimate look into my story, I hope my mistakes can be your lessons. If you do learn something, don’t forget to pay it forward by sharing, liking and subscribing.

If we can learn from your mistakes, post your story in the comments. Who knows, you could be my next guest to help others on their leadership journey.

Legion AVS, a full service event and video production house, and valued HaneyBiz partner shares how they've been impacted by and responded to COVID-19.  Learn more about how their pivot to producing differentiated virtual events has successfully leveraged their core skill sets to provide value to their clients and keep them busy throughout the crisis.

The tables have been turned and I have found myself in the hot seat. This is the first of a four part series where my teammate Rick Spencer, HaneyBiz's Vice President, sits down to get the full story of my entrepreneurial journey. 

We go from my first entrepreneurial venture when I was a boy to vision/mission we are trying to make a reality today and everything in between. This four part series will be jammed packed full of lessons that I have learned from starting, scaling, and selling different businesses throughout my life.

This first part starts with the lessons that I learned on the baseball and football field that I have carried with me into everything I do. We then dive into the lessons that I learned during my paper route as a kid, the most important lesson I learned when working for my family business (it involves me breaking a $1000 refrigerator), and finally what I learned from making a pivot from video stores to video surveillance distribution. 

These lessons that I learned early on in life have shaped me into the entrepreneur I am today and have been a major reason for the successes I have had.

What are the most important lessons you learned early in your life that you still carry with you today?

I sit down with Brandon Brown the founder and CEO of GRIN to talk about how he is leading his team through this crisis. What steps he is taking to make sure that he is able to come out of this on the other side stronger and positioned to thrive. 

We also talk about Save Small, Sacramento which is a fundraising effort to help small businesses in Sacramento that are unable to operate during this shut down. This is the Power of With in full affect! 

You’ve secured your PPP loan and funds have hit your account. Congratulations!  NOW WHAT?

The SBA has yet to release final guidance on reporting requirements for forgiveness (as of May 4th).  In the meantime, you likely feel a sense of urgency to make time sensitive decisions and take action in order to maximize the benefit of these funds for your business.
