Sam has successfully scaled Atlas to a multimillion dollar operation over the last 10+ years and now employees over 100 people. Building his team was a key point Sam talked about on the show, but a huge focus was the fact that no matter how many systems or processes or people you have on the team, if you can't sell then you'll never be able to keep those great team members or use the systems and processes correctly.

Through hiring our salesman, we are focusing heavy on this side as opposed to pouring money into print marketing or social advertising at this time.

In todays episode I walk through a report I just recently found in LMN to help you see exactly how much time we spent doing un-billable tasks last year. This report was very eye opening and made me think long and hard about waste, and how we can continue to purge it from our company. We are chasing profit to use as fuel for growth, and 30% unbillable time just isn't going to get us there. I also dive into whether or not I should hire a personal driver lol. This thought can easily be torn apart by me just hiring an estimator so I don't have to spend my time doing it, but it's still a fun convo. Hope you enjoy!

As we grow, our cold calling will be a huge source of lead gen. and I want to perfect it as much as possible. Thanks to a recent hire in the sales position, our goal is to cold call very frequently and train to handle objection well. Overcoming objection is a major key to growth and it is something that I believe most people struggle with actually learning how to do. I have really two words for it: Just Care. Care to solve their problems and come into it with a genuine desire to help give them a solution they are looking for. Find our their problem and craft a unique response to fix it!

In today’s episode I dive into a couple things. One of them being showing profit in your business. As you start your business you may have alway heard “ I don’t want to pay any taxes”, but in my opinion that’s the wrong outlook in the beginning. You should be looking to build your business with profit so that you have some history and proof that as your grow and need OPM to help scale, you can get it. As you grow and the business develops then this strategy may change, but until then have people around you guiding you the best way to grow!

In todays episode I continue to unpack the things that entrepreneurs commonly make mistakes at. I firmly believe this is one of them. Growing too quickly is something that I have seen personally wreck the life of a business owner and his family. If you can't manage the growth you are seeing then you must either pump the breaks on the sales funnel and stunt the business growth or you just fall so far behind that you get stressed and start to worry about quality control, attitudes, etc.. This is all if you don't have a system to manage these incidents. Build the system, manage the system, let the system manage the people. I hope this episode has some value to you and you take action from some principles discussed today!

That is done by giving them a process like any multi-million dollar company would.

In todays episode I share about some of the things that growth and success takes especially in the early days. I am currently on family vacation and am continually trying to better myself and grow my network. I was able to attend the LMN mastermind summit for half a day on Monday as it worked out we were in town during it. Taking time away from my trip and family wasn't convenient or even desired, but I felt it was beneficial. It allowed me to be in the room with and meet new people who are going to help my business go from 500k to 5M in the next few years. When you feel yourself getting complacent, ask yourself "Am I growing the way I want to?" I hope this message finds you well today and brings some value to your day!

In todays Marriage Monday episode Savannah and I start a new series for the next 10 weeks covering topics we all face in marriage and entrepreneurship together. In week one we dive into discussion regarding vision casting and goal setting. I'll be honest, this is something that we both have had to work on/grow in. I naturally am able to think big, but thinking big continuously as we start to achieve goals isn't something you necessarily think of when starting out. Listen in as we get this series started together!
