Ok, today's the day. We're gonna bust a myth. Particularly, the myth that says, 'Starting a business means you're going to make six figures right away.' If that were actually true, who wouldn't start their own thing? The problem, as Kristen Edens and I discuss today, is that there's often an unrealistic image portrayed by social media about what entrepreneurship is like. Both Kris and I shared a bit about our background, how we got started as business owners, and what it felt like for us. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, as they say, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. If you feel the call to start your own thing, there are some great tips in this episode for you. After listening, if you realize that content marketing or copywriting is something you need help with, reach out to Kris on LinkedIn, or via her website at kristenedens.com. And as always, enjoy the listen. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/archdevops/support

Kris took his last drink on August 9, 2017. At just over 1000 days (at the time of recording) this is his story of living alcohol-free (AF).   Odette opens the podcast talking about beginner emotions, also called day one emotions. “You can be brave and afraid at the same time.” Feeling scared and uncertain is natural and part of the process. Embrace those feelings and you can go far.   [5:26] Odette introduces Kris.   Kris is 38 years old, married with 2 children and a dog. They live in central North Dakota and he is a power plant operator. For fun he loves photography, videography, staying warm in the winter, and camping in the summer. ND summers are the best.   [8:28] What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?   As kids, Kris and his brother would always go for vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, roasted salted peanuts, and Smarties as a topping.   [10:00] Can you give us a background on your drinking?   Kris said he started drinking in high school, he was shy and quiet in High School and this brought him out of his shell. He felt like he could be himself. He joined the Air Force out of high school and alcohol continued to help him forge bonds with others. While he was stationed in Korea, he says he began using alcohol for more than just fun and instead used it to cope with depression. They lived by “work hard, party hard” while stationed there. He felt lost when he came home and struggled with his identity. He says the last few years of his relationship with alcohol was really a disaster. He didn’t want to stop, he was hiding his drinking and his relationship with his wife was falling apart.   [22:48] What happened after your wife told you that you had to stop drinking?   Kris and his wife separated after that and he experienced an “Oh sh*t” moment. At the same time, he began having a willingness in his life to make and action change. He signed up for a treatment program.   [25:34] How did you feel after you realized that you had to do this? When did the decision to get sober become yours?   Kris said it was during treatment. Working with counselors he learned that he needed to take responsibility for everything. He also met with a pastor who encouraged him to start praying every day. He began asking God to help guide him. He learned the burden of his past doesn’t have to hold him back from his future.   [30:50] Do you still have cravings? How different is from the beginning and how is it still similar?   Kris said for the most part he only has moments where he romanticizes drinking. He reminds himself that it’s never one drink. Exploring the truth of what it is, sets him straight. He notices that it’s more about behaviors than actual cravings. Being short with his kids or tense with his wife. Because he now actively works on these things, he’s able to more quickly correct the action. Both Kris and his wife, in their relationship, work on these things. They are both more tolerant of each other.   [40:34] Walk us through a day in the life right now. What does working your recovery in this type of crisis look like?   Kris is considered an essential worker, so he’s still going to the office every day and his wife is a teacher, so she is homeschooling their children. Kris says his recovery is very similar, he just isn’t getting to as many face to face meetings as usual. He’s recently begun working with a sponsor again, so they are connecting a lot. He’s staying connected with Café RE, his sponsor, posting videos, showing support to others through the Facebook pages and Marco polo’ing.    [43:23] How do you keep this journey fun?   Kris chooses the tone for his life. He celebrates the milestones with his family, he stays connected with his friends in the sober community, he goes to events, and this past fall he hosted his own independent Café RE meetup. He surrounds himself with the people he loves and can be himself and let loose now that alcohol isn’t a part of the equation.    [46:36] Rapid Fire Round    If you could talk to Day 1 Kris, what would you say to him? Take it easy and you are loved.   What is a memorable moment sobriety has given you? Being in the water swimming with my family and seeing their smiles.   What are some of your favorite resources? Recovery Elevator podcast, Café RE, That Sober Guy (Shane Ramer), Transitions Daily, Saddleback Church, Elevation Church and a good sponsor.   What parting piece of guidance can you give to listeners? Be honest with yourself about where you are at. We can do hard things, but we don’t have to do them alone. Try to find a community, you are not alone.     You might be an alcoholic if...    If you’ve urinated in more corners of your house than you care to actually mention.     Upcoming events, retreats and courses: Ditching the Booze - The What, the Why and the How.

Entrepreneur and early learning veteran Tony D’Agostino joins us today to talk about understanding margins and your numbers, his ‘near-death’ experience in the childcare business, how to deal with a crisis, and toxic employees. Tony and Kris also discuss how to develop a culture where everyone on the team is accountable with shared values and the challenges currently in hiring and retention in the child care business field. Tony also discusses the mission behind Inspire! Care 360 and the three-pronged approach in helping leaders manage their people, brand, and purchasing. As a bonus, you’ll also hear about Tony’s rock and roll roots and his awesome mullet back in the 1980s.   Key Takeaways: [8:31] Tony owns and operates four centers across Western New York. He comes from a corporate background and originally bought the centers to spend more time with his family. He started with five acquisitions, went down to three, and then brought in another one. [10:05] Tony and his team originally grew the margin of business from 8% to over 30%. [14:06] The finances work out to your favor when you focus more on the margin and the revenue than getting a waiting list. [15:18] One of the first, crucial steps for getting in control of your business and staff is to thoroughly understand your margins and your payroll. [17:52] Tony is the proud father of two very cool boys, ages 17 and 19. He loves outdoor activities and anything that takes him close to the water. He also plays in bands as the lead guitarist and may have had one of the best mullets you have ever seen in the ’80s. [21:33] Tony speaks of his ‘near-death’ experience in the childcare business. One of his centers had a toxic environment with a negative staff. One day, the director and five employees quit, causing a real crisis. Tony took this occurrence and learned from it to realize the need for real training, power, and structure for owners. [28:33] Inspire! Care360 has three divisions: People, Brand, Buying. [32:39] Childcare has the perfect storm of needing to cover ratio, a relatively low-pay workforce, all mixed with a high burnout rate. Both Kris and Tony agree that a strong culture along with slow hiring and quick hiring are some of the biggest defenses against falling prey to hiring the wrong people who are misaligned with the core values. [40:35] It’s important that the directors empower their team to make decisions and grow with accountability. [45:41] If someone is not aligned to your culture, getting them off-boarded in the most ethical way is going to give you a sense of relief and the best thing for them and their future. Even if it puts you behind in ratio, it’s still one of the best things you can do for your culture. [50:15] When we put our ego aside and focus on becoming a servant leader, we see bigger and better outcomes than we may have ever imagined.   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray Child Care Marketing Solutions Child Care Success Academy Child Care Success Summit Inspire!

Kris is joined by very special guest, friend, skiing buddy, and founder of ChildCare CRM software, Chuck Gibbs. Kris and Chuck have much in common. They both started their businesses around early 2010 and are here eight years later, still great friends with a love for Colorado, working hand-in-hand on impacting the childcare industry and helping others toward their goals and dreams. In this episode, they do a deep dive on what you should be measuring in your business, some game-changing resources you can apply to your business, case studies and success stories on CRM, the specifics of how business owners can utilize ChildCare CRM to provide clarity around the enrollment funnel, as well as the use of automation so one can be enrolling people as they sleep or are on vacation! Now ChildCare CRM has the niche of providing the best software to improve enrollment and retention within childcare centers. Chuck’s software is now in over 2,500 schools in multiple countries, so he also shares an interesting take on childcare between countries and how his vision for his own business has grown and changed over time. He has started 19 companies, so he has some great and sound advice on challenges as an entrepreneur at every level.   Key Takeaways: [3:37] Kris welcomes her guest, Chuck Gibbs. He shares his background and involvement in software in the childcare industries. [6:26] When Chuck first started, he reached out to over 100 different centers, and visited many of them personally. Only 37% of the time did they take his contact information and then only 20% of the time did he get followed up with. [13:48] Chuck speaks on how the original passion and dedication for changing the world and making a deep impact has stayed the same, but their goal has changed. At first, it was to improve communication and build a business that was a lifestyle business. Once he reached that goal he expanded his vision to impact more globally. [17:26] Both Kris and Chuck find being in a mastermind group with other entrepreneurs crucial to self-development personally and professionally. [30:01] Chuck shares some of his travel experiences as they relate to the childcare industry. He is surprised at how similar the experiences are. He cites New Zealand and Australia as having some of the most child-centered curricula. One of the key differences, however, is the tolerance for risk in the play areas. [32:14] Finding great people, knowing your metrics, focus, and perseverance are some of the top factors of success that Chuck has learned along the way. [43:02] Exciting new announcement! Kris has decided to bring back the Enrollment Bootcamp Challenge live training. It’s a five-week course that is the bread and butter of what she teaches and will be updated in 2018.
