Business Breakthrough

Everyone has something that they are living through that they want to get out of, whether it is poverty or an emotional trauma and so on. In today's episode Dave shares with us what motivated him to get to where he is today. My Guest: Dave Menz Dave “Laundromat Millionaire” Menz is a passionate Entrepreneur, Husband, and Dad from Cincinnati, Ohio. He is the owner of the Queen City Laundry Chain of Laundromats and the author of the Laundromat Millionaire (to be released in October 2021). What makes Dave unique is the path he took to achieve his success. From poverty, to a corporate career, to taking the plunge into business and turning a struggling laundromat (that he bought off of Craigslist) into a cash-flowing multi-million dollar asset, Dave's journey was anything but typical. Having fine tuned his operations over a decade, surrounded by his Rockstar team, Dave is obsessively driven to help, teach and inspire others while elevating the laundromat industry to a whole new level through networking, service and collaboration.

Many people think that when business is at its peak and successful it is the best thing, however listen in to Nicole who shares with us how to respect success but not idolize it, because we don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

And that is what she focuses on now. Pivotal Moments ·       Nicole's father owned a few car automotive stations. He was a big dreamer and he wanted to explore and expand. When Nicole was 7 years old her dad got involved in network marketing which back then was direct sales. ·       He then invested, sold the business went down to Brazil to invest, but the partners pulled out at the last minute. ·       He disappeared for months and months. Lost everything had massive debt. ·       That was Nicole's first experience at age 11 she saw what happens when you make big mistakes. It shaped her view of business and money. ·       Nicole became more involved with paperwork. By the time she was 14 she was doing a lot of back-end shipping and receiving and learnt a lot about business. ·       At 16 Nicole started her own business started selling products that she could get hold of. Such as fax machines. ·       She went to industrial areas and sold her fax machines from door to door, she then went onto selling lots of other products such as Volvo. ·       In the 90's Nicole built up her dads business in multiple countries. ·       Reaching multiple countries was via word of mouth. ·        It takes work to build success Advice Principles and relationships don't change. Current Business Struggle The challenge which is essentially an opportunity, Nicole is looking for more leaders at the highest levels that know what they are doing but want to work on the inner game and want to talk about relationships. There is a point where leaders get to a sealing of complexity.

One of the biggest mistakes start-ups make is sticking with the same idea that hasn't been working for too long because they are afraid to fail. In today's episode Steve pulls back the curtain for us and lets us in on the secrets to successful start-ups. My Guest Steve Hoffman: Steve founded three-venture funded and two bootstrapped start-ups, each of which is a unique tale. Steve is also the CEO of Founders Space, a global start-up accelerator, with over 50 partners in 22 countries and 50K entrepreneurs as members. Every year, he mentors hundreds of start-ups, helping them overcome their biggest challenges.​In addition, HarperCollins just published his book "Surviving A Start-up," where he delves into the hard questions, like why do most start-ups fail? And how can entrepreneurs beat the odds, overcome emotional stress, and break through both mental and market barriers. Pivotal Moments ·       First company was a game company. Steve and his wife did it themselves. It was a rewarding profitable business. They sold over 1 million games. ·       Steve's first venture-funded company in late 90's was synchronizing online entertainment to on air broadcast. It was very stressful. ·       2nd venture was media company it was a online video on mobile ·       After bad experience with venture funded companies he founded Founders Space bootstrapped. Current Challenge Everyone has been working from home or from the road, Steve wants to continue that, so as things open up again should they open up their physical accelerator? It is a lot of work. Getting a little more money isn't their goal. However can the clients get everything they can without coming to their physical space? This is their struggle. Advice For any start up: 1.     Who is your customer? 2.     Understand what value you are providing? Because there has to be a reason why people would come to you more than anyone else? 3.     Are there people who really need your product? 4.     Get recurring revenue, get a customer and never let go of that customer.

Most people think they need to register a legal business before they can ever earn more money. While this isn't technically true, it may still be a good idea. Chad tells us why, and how to do it right in the easiest and inexpensive way possible. My Guest: Chad Sakonchick Chad Sakonchick is the founder and creator of BetterLegal, a company that provides a one-stop-shop for business and entity formation in all 50 states. If there is one thing Chad knows, it is how to start a business. He was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug early on in his life and has been the brains behind successful and not so successful start-ups within the tech space. The thread that has been present in all of his business ventures is automation. Chad is on an automation mission, and his latest venture, BetterLegal, automates the business formation process so that what typically takes weeks to do, can be done in a few hours, maybe even less. The ability to form a business in a day is a game changer within the entrepreneurial space, so not only does he offer the business formation services individually, he has created a system to allow entrepreneurs to use his product to create a revenue stream for themselves. Chad is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to starting entrepreneurial ventures and is passionate about sharing what he knows with others looking to start their own business. Pivotal Moments ·       Started out working in Dell, but then got laid off. ·       He then wanted to go into software. ·       Chad then went into space sift. An airbnb for meetings. ·       It never hit off. ·       He then joined with a buddy of his and became partners. Better legal came from there.

Many people fail when launching their online courses the main point people fail on is you can build the course but it doesn't mean people will come. In this episode Abe lets us in on the do's and don'ts when it comes to launching an online program. My Guest: Abe Crystal Abe is not just the Co founder and CEO of Ruzuku, an easy to use online course platform for entrepreneur's, author's, coaches and small businesses. Ruzuku has now hosted over 75,000 courses serving over half a million students around the world. Abe specializes in learning design in human design and research and has a PhD in human computer interaction. He is a professor in the school of education and teaches seminars on education innovation.  Pivotal Moments ·       Abe was always interested in building things that people could actually use. ·       He became a consultant but it lacked on the sense of focus. He always has an edge to build a product that people would use. ·       So it lead him to helping people create online programs and courses. ·       They launched Ruzuku in 2012. ·       Abe is bringing out a book which in short advises you to think about how people will discover you and feel comfortable buying your course. Advice: Before launching an online program make sure you do your research first and try it out on humans before putting it out there. When trying to work out what platform to use, Abe advises you rather than trying to compare all the platforms that are available. Think about what learning experience you want to create for your participants and focus on mapping that out, and then identify the tools you need to make that experience happen. There are 3 reasons online courses don't work: 1.     They build it without a plan. 2.     Even if you do make sales you won't be successful in the end 3.     Motivation Current Business Struggle: Abe has a new product but wants more ideas on how to promote it.

Many coaches trip up from living the coaching business of their dreams because they are trying to wear two hats at once.

Lee has a reputation for building cohesive, high producing teams who have fun together at the same time and has authored two top-selling books about positive and profitable work culture. She is a straight talker who doesn't hold too many punches, although she does her best to be pleasant about it. Her big laugh and sense of humour have gotten her out of a lot of trouble.

Did you know that the same product in a different city or state will have a different formulation? State and Rural regulations are different and companies tailor their products to their customers and this is all software based. Join us today as Calvin Brown shares with us secrets on software and tech solutions and much more. My Guest: Calvin Brown Calvin Brown is a tech founder with experience managing global teams and multi-million dollar software deliverables. His software architecture background, coding capabilities, and keen understanding of the entire process help inform his mindful but competitive approach. Calvin is fueled by his passion for understanding the nuances of the technical challenges businesses face across all industries. He considers himself a ‘forever student,' eager to build on his hands-on technical foundation by architecting, building, and teaching others how to master the art of making complex technical issues solvable. In 2017, Calvin's love for giving back inspired him to create a community that offers free technical training. Today, the growing tech group of nearly 1,000 professional black coders provides access to the strategies and techniques used to build lots of the software we all use daily. Understanding the intricate dance between software developers and business owners, Calvin wrote a book to help entrepreneurs bring their app-related visions to life through effectively communicating with developers without necessarily knowing the technical language. He also contributes to technology-focused magazines, selflessly spreading knowledge and resources to empower others Pivotal Moments: ·       Calvin thought he wanted to fix computers, He never had computer in his youth. ·       During a yearly meet up with family from all over one of his relatives invited him to join them with their software company and that is how his life began with computers. ·       Lots of businesses have the challenge of how to connect with their customers.  Advice: Always look to automate things, the pain point that one thing that your procrastinate doing every day somebody else has the same issue look to replace this either have someone else do it or get a software. Not every business needs an app. An app is automation for something your business already does. It won't bring you new clients. It enables you to manage the clients that you have in a manageable way. The app is to enhance, not to bring business.

Turn $1000 into $40,000 in 40 days?!? $40,000 is the average American income per year. In this episode Zack shares his wisdom; Zack believes that you don't need to have a massive amount of resources to blow that goal completely out of the border. My Guest: Zack Boothe: Just a few years ago, Zack Boothe was a window cleaner. You can even find his window cleaning tutorial videos on youtube with millions of views. However, Zack always dreamt of being a real estate investor. Taking a leap of faith, he walked away from window cleaning, and within a handful of years, he was making over a million dollars per year from real estate investing. With his successful business, he now spends his time helping others see how simple it is to make money with real estate. Zack is here today to share his insider secrets to finding massively discounted properties regardless of your experience level. Pivotal Moments ·       Zack began as a window washer. When he was washing windows of a wealthy gentleman, he gave him properties for a small sum, Zack then sold them on and made $100,000 profit. ·       Zack's marketing strategy is called driving for dollars. He has a driver that drives around and identifies houses that have physical signs of neglect. He creates a list of ugly houses. Zack also sends texts, postcards and cold calling. ·       For every $1 he earns he spends 15 cents on marketing. ·       How do you find buyers? ·       Once you start putting out deals, buyers start coming to you. ·       There are also buyers groups within different cities. ·       Zack began working when he was 11. Door to door sales was where he succeeded and he enjoyed it. ·       By the time Zack was 17 he had hand crafted cheese, framed houses, finished carpentry, and much more. ·       At age 16 he had to fend for himself. ·       Zack learnt that you need to take responsibility for your financial situation. ·       Zack set a challenge to go from earning $1000 to earning $40,000 in 40 days. ·       His real goal was to give people belief and faith and see that it is possible.  Current struggle: Even though Zack is a successful coach, he still feels that for himself to be ultra successful, not only does he need to create financially successful people, he needs to create leaders. So he is looking into getting coaching for himself. Advice: If you want to have an impact, you need to serve.

Tony has generated multiple 7 figures annually for a decade and a half using lead generation strategies that stand the test of time that don't depend on algorithms and don't depend on the latest and greatest. In this episode Tony pulls back the curtain and uncovers the secrets on how to reach tens of thousands of people and make money. My Guest: Tony DUrso: Tony DUrso is one of the top podcasters in the country. He's the #1 talk show on VoiceAmerica and is on a roll for 15 Million Listens with over 500 interviews of some of the most successful people in their category, whom Tony calls, "Elite Entrepreneurs." Tony's shows are syndicated on Roku, Amazon Alexa & 14 AM/FM U.S. Radio Stations. He is an Amazon bestseller (Elite Entrepreneurs). Tony helps millions of entrepreneurs learn from the success of others. He teaches The Vision Map™, the testament to his success. Tony says, “Success awaits those who persevere and remain steadfast despite the odds”. Pivotal Moments ·       Tony worked in Lead Gen for 7 years but then due to privacy regulations moved onto podcasting. ·       The reason he went into podcasting was because he was looking for something that he could control and didn't have to follow any regulations. ·       There have been no industry regulations against podcasting. Besides for certain words that may not be used and if they are used you get put on a watch list. ·       Social media platforms are amazing. It takes work. ·       You need to focus on the basic core social media platforms and grow them faster. That is the key to success. ·       Tony would rather grow his twitter than his facebook. ·       His favorate platforms are Twitter and LinkedIn. ·       Although there are many podcasters out there, most of them give up after 10 shows. ·       There are easy ways to make money through podcasting, through hacking your day job. ·       Bring on people to your show and part of that deal is if the guest sends that show to their lists. Advice If you want your business to make money, the first place to go to is LinkedIn. If you don't have 30,000 people following you, then keep going. You need to reach out to connect to the first 30,000 and then you will grow from there. Current Business Struggle: How to break into that next level. It takes planning, courage and strategy. At different levels there are different challenges, so Tony is working on his challenges in order to grow.

Tony says, “Success awaits those who persevere and remain steadfast despite the odds”. Pivotal Moments ·       Tony worked in Lead Gen for 7 years but then due to privacy regulations moved onto podcasting. ·       The reason he went into podcasting was because he was looking for something that he could control and didn't have to follow any regulations. ·       There have been no industry regulations against podcasting. Besides for certain words that may not be used and if they are used you get put on a watch list. ·       Social media platforms are amazing. It takes work. ·       You need to focus on the basic core social media platforms and grow them faster. That is the key to success. ·       Tony would rather grow his twitter than his facebook. ·       His favorate platforms are Twitter and LinkedIn. ·       Although there are many podcasters out there, most of them give up after 10 shows. ·       There are easy ways to make money through podcasting, through hacking your day job. ·       Bring on people to your show and part of that deal is if the guest sends that show to their lists. Advice If you want your business to make money, the first place to go to is LinkedIn. If you don't have 30,000 people following you, then keep going. You need to reach out to connect to the first 30,000 and then you will grow from there. Current Business Struggle: How to break into that next level. It takes planning, courage and strategy. At different levels there are different challenges, so Tony is working on his challenges in order to grow.

Online courses are so hot now especially with most of the world still stuck in their houses everyone is coming with the perspective of what are people interested in. However that is backwards. When you make your focus to make money you are stacking the odds massively against you. But when you come from within and you really discover your passion-what you love doing and it helps other people, then that is a recipe for success. My Guest: Alex Lasarev: Alex spent his 20's as a stand-up comedian and then accidentally built a global cult following as a dating coach until 2015. He discovered that our ability to attract amazing connections was in direct correlation to how much we fully love and accept ourselves. He then founded the Infinite Man Summit where they show men how to live fearlessly, empowering them to become the highest versions of themselves, by mastering their health wealth and relationships and ultimately discovering and living their soul's highest purpose. He had his first spiritual awakening in 2009 and went hard core pursuing enlightenment in 2015. In 2016 he started his podcast where he interviews people who are on the path of self realization and self love. Pivotal Moments: ·       When Alex was 17 he started with comedy. ·       Because of his traumatic and difficult upbringing he had no confidence. This is because he never got any love and support as a child that would have been helpful in his development. ·       In his 20's he couldn't connect with people especially with woman as he had too much fear. ·       So he got into the scene of how to talk to woman, and discovered it was manipulative. Alex went against the grain and instead of doing what everyone else was doing; he decided there is another path to that. ·       He came up with the idea of day game. ·       Alex has been successful in online courses. How did he get there? ·       Alex found that it all came about from helping people. He would help people and ask for reviews. His following grew. ·       In 2015 Alex went into a rabbit hole of self realization and true nature. Around that time he began a podcast. Advice: Only work with someone you love. Say no to the ones you don't want to work with. Love is our essence. The more you figure out that that is what you are and the more you realize that we are all connected, everything we put out is exactly what will come back at us. When you start living with the intention that everyone is your brother and sister then amazing things start to happen in every part of your life. Before you start your business do enough of the journey within to really discover on a deep level why you really want to do what you plan to do. If you are not at that place it will not be anywhere near successful than a business that begins on that foot. Quote: People don't care what you know until they know you care.

Many people start their business to create a job for themselves, but at some point it's time to move beyond working all day and create a business asset that works for you. Have you ever wondered what steps to take first when you decide to move beyond just having made yourself a job? Join us today as Lisa gives us the tips you need to know on how to build an asset for yourself to be able to sell. My Guest: Lisa-Kipps Brown With 25 years of internet business experience, Lisa can help you use the web in the most profitable way possible, covering way more than marketing, technology & design. Lisa started her web & marketing strategy business in ‘96. At the same time as raising 2 kids & caring for her father-in-law with Alzheimer's (7+ yrs). She was later the caregiver for her mother with Alzheimer's (4yrs). Lisa is a big believer in building a business that can be adapted to fit one's life stages. Lisa has almost 15 years experience in rural Economic Development. Pivotal moments ·       Lisa wrote a book just after her mum had passed away from Alzheimer's. She was her care giver. The advice in it is really for anyone, but Lisa was targeting people age 50 + because they are at a stage in their life where they need to be thinking about selling their business. However many people don't even have what to sell. ·       People build businesses that don't have saleable value. But there is a point where you can own your business as an asset. So you can sell it on. ·       You have to remember no one wants to buy a job. ·       We have to think about what our assets are that we can be building up that aren't physical. It has to be something that has value to other people. ·       Lisa has a degree in accounting, but she hated it. She had a side consulting firm too. ·       Then Lisa dropped everything and started with her web and marketing strategy business in 1996. ·       Nowadays no one really needs web design they really need the strategy and to understand how to make everything work together. So now Lisa focuses on consulting on helping people get their business ready to sell. ·       What is a web strategy? ·       You have to look at the web as part of your business. ·       Lisa says everything is based around your strengths and weaknesses and goals and dreams. ·       When wondering what app to use it doesn't make a difference because it is a tool. You pick the tool that works best for you. Advice For something to become a scalable profit, you need to remove yourself from it completely. There is no way you can take the salary that you have created for yourself and sell it. Now based on everything you have learnt, you can create something different that can become a product. The highest value you can create is to think of your business as a turnkey business. As if someone walks up to you, hands you the cash and you can hand them the keys and leave. Quote The most important questions are the ones you don't even know need asking.
