Description: In this episode I am speaking with Wendy Mayhew who is the author of WISER: The Definitive Guide to Starting a Business after the Age of 50. This is a rebroadcast of episode 180 I recorded with Wendy in early 2020. I think it is as relevant today as it was 3 years ago. This is a guide to entrepreneurship for those over 50. Before we get to the episode this episode will publish the Monday before the US Labor Day weekend. I will not be publishing a podcast episode the week of September 3rd nor will there be a Career Pivot Insights newsletter on Sunday, September 3rd. Here is Wendy's bio: Author Wendy Mayhew has been an entrepreneur for 40 years. Her most recent businesses are WISE - Seniors in Business and WISE 50 over 50 Awards. WISE - Seniors in Business, was formed to change how older entrepreneurs are perceived and to guide wannabe older entrepreneurs on deciding if entrepreneurship is for them. Wendy has quickly become Canada's leading expert on older entrepreneurship. She has done extensive research and understands the challenges facing this newest and fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs. Wendy is a sought-after speaker and workshop facilitator by business organizations now starting to realize the importance of serving this newest group of entrepreneurs. Seeing the gap in information available to older entrepreneurs, Wendy authored WISER: The Definitive Guide to Starting a Business After the Age of 50 to assist this group of new entrepreneurs in starting their businesses. Wendy also offers assistance and guidance to help business organizations set up programs specific to new entrepreneurs starting a business later in life. The WISE 50 over 50 Awards recognize and celebrate Canadian entrepreneurs over the age of 50. With the support of well over 100 Canadian organizations sharing information on the awards through their networks, the 50 over 50 Awards have generated awareness of the most under-supported and underserved group of new entrepreneurs in Canada.

In-Depth With Amazon Seller Ben Webber  In today's episode, we sit down with Ben Webber, an entrepreneur with multiple successful Amazon businesses. Ben shares his journey, from his early influences to his experiences building a thriving e-commerce empire. Join us as we explore the challenges, triumphs, and key takeaways from Ben's remarkable entrepreneurial journey. Early Influences and Ambitions Ben grew up in West Virginia with a strong entrepreneurial influence from his aunt and uncle, who were successful entrepreneurs and lawyers. Initially, Ben aspired to become a marine biologist but later developed a passion for ancient history in college due to his interest in the subject and the quality of his teachers. Customer-First Approach in Business After graduating college, Ben started a tennis lesson business, where he prioritised customer satisfaction and relied on word-of-mouth referrals instead of traditional advertising. His approach focused on keeping customers happy, leading to increased positive referrals and business growth. Transition to Entrepreneurship Following his experience with the tennis lesson business, Ben worked with a telecom company, but left in 2015 to pursue entrepreneurship full-time after changes to his bonus structure. Ben embarked on his Amazon business journey in 2014/2015, teaming up with three friends, including a lawyer and a friend looking to transition out of their family business. Early Ventures in Amazon FBA The team discovered a price disparity for Swiffer liquid and decided to venture into Amazon FBA, establishing a company under the holding name JLS (Johnny's Lawn Service) as a nod to their friend's first entrepreneurial venture. Initially focused on retail arbitrage, they eventually shifted to private label, capitalising on gaps in the market and achieving significant revenue growth. Expansion and Success By sourcing from Chinese manufacturers, the team improved margins and introduced multiple brands across various categories on Amazon. Their revenue reached $30 million by 2021, thanks to systemisation, team training, and proprietary software development. Challenges and Growth Maintaining a moral compass in the competitive marketplace was a significant challenge. The team attempted to diversify by investing in an in-house printing setup but eventually sold the equipment due to low production rates. They pivoted their strategy to patent acquisition and purchasing existing products, leading to better margins and substantial success.   In this episode, we delved into the entrepreneurial journey of Ben Webber, a successful Amazon entrepreneur. Ben's story teaches us the importance of a customer-first approach, adapting to market trends, and maintaining a moral compass in highly competitive environments. We explored their transition from a tennis lesson business to building a thriving e-commerce empire, their early ventures in Amazon FBA, and the challenges they encountered along the way. Ben's story is a testament to the power of perseverance, team success, and personal growth.    Are you a 7 figure brand selling on Amazon?

Succeeding in the real estate business is about learning the needs of people, and everyone needs a home inspection to buy or sell. BJ Johnson knows this perfectly, and his knowledge about the industry and attention to detail have carried his company, Inside & Out, to the top.   Throughout his youth, BJ performed as a professional golfer, but the entrepreneurial spirit of his father inspired him to immerse himself in the world of business. As his father took him to construction, he worked as a manager, and he developed incredible, on-the-ground knowledge about construction, which later became the cornerstone of his house inspection business.   Tune in to this episode of Real Estate Excellence to learn how the best inspectors make it happen.   00:00 - 13:19] From Professional Golfer to Property Inspection Entrepreneur • BJ Johnson spent 4-5 years playing professional golf since high school, though he realized how hard it is to earn money playing.  • Working with his dad taught BJ how a home was built and taught him a proper work ethic.  • BJ's knowledge comes fundamentally from real-world experience.   • Most of St. Augustine's homes were built in the last 20 years, but further in, there are older homes with potential for renovations.   [13:19 - 26:23] Building a Family and A Business • After his wife got pregnant, BJ began searching for new opportunities, and a good friend of his asked him to inspect a property. • He began the business as a single-man shop and gradually built a team as he gained more experience. • BJ hires his team members based on their personalities, communication skills, and their ability to carry a conversation and relate to potential clients.   [26:23 - 39:26] Training a Team and Education in the Home Inspection Business • It is important for BJ to allow his team members to learn, access educational opportunities, and train themselves. • Most home inspectors don't have formal training or construction background, but they can become great inspectors through repetition. • Every house is a different story, so the trade is learned by repetition. • Having the best equipment you can get to document your work and share information is extremely important.   [39:26 - 45:56] The Importance of Proper Quality Control for Homebuyers • Quality control is important for builders to avoid costly mistakes like improperly sized footers, erosion, and lack of nail guards, among other examples. • Builders may hire third-party inspectors for code inspections, but it's not enough for quality .control. • Safety codes constantly evolve, and builders must keep up with them.

For sure.""It's very important to be the best version of you. So, like, for me, I go to the gym all the time. I have to take care of my body. I'm always taking care of my mind. I'm reading a lot. I'm always educating myself, being better every single day.""It's never gonna get better until I get better. And why did it take that long? I have no idea, but that's whenever I realize that it's up to me. I have to do it.""It's those small promises that build confidence that allow you to reach the bigger goals."""I don't care what perfect you know, host looks like or how pretty the picture looks or what's in the background? You know, what's most important is what's coming out of the person's heart and out of their mouth.""My point is that is where a lot of my confidence has come from. Is from biting off those, snapping off small winds.""You have to start out with these routines and these mornings like you from 5 to 9. You've got a regimen in place. You know exactly where you're gonna be. At every minute of that time, between 5AM and 9AM.""It's those small promises you know, you know that, okay, I'm gonna go knock that gym workout out for 45 minutes every morning. And then that's a check, man. And that means Those things compound, and those things work on that confidence.""It's not something that's gonna be, you know, people 1 thing that we do, Greg, in our world, man, is we hear, you know, everybody comes out and spits this stuff out all the time, man. And they talk about it, and it makes it sound kind of easy.""If you're somewhere out there, if you want a listener out there and you're trying to turn your life around, it's not gonna be easy.""The key is you're gonna get your ass kicked. I got my ass kicked.""The key thing that keeps you going and keeps you in that women's bracket is that you don't quit. You keep driving. That's it, man. I mean, you nailed it. I mean, I was gonna say it. You said it before me. But the truth is, that's it."""Fear never leaves. So that fear I was talking about being afraid of getting that first credit repair client when I first started my business. And then now my business is in a different place, and it's it's it's we've moved the ball down the field. But I still deal with it. I've still got 3 things that I'm putting off that are sitting over there that I know I've gotta take care of and I'm scared of them because I know because I've never done them before. I've never dealt with it before. It's new to me.""But even though are the things that are so important, You know, man, for me and I'll I'll just be vulnerable here a little bit with the with the listeners""It is as much as it sounds hard, it is that simple.

BEERS: Other Half strikes yet again with one of the highest-rated beers in our network, Green City. A 7% IPA, it's one of those beers that just looks like a glass of cold orange juice. Jake reviews his experience when he tried Green City at a popular restaurant in Washington DC. We debate if IPA's are becoming the “laughing stock” of social media, or if it's just another fad. Fall is in full swing yet again, and Will ventures back to The Malted Barley to get a taste of Left Hand's Pumpkin Spice Latte Nitro. Is there a better fall beer selection than Providence's best beer bar? BUSINESS: After a few months of mayhem and uncertainty, it finally does look like Elon Musk is going to be forced to go through on his $44 billion take-private deal of Twitter. The catch? Other billionaires are going in on it with him. We break down Elon's suspect texts with other Silicon Valley elites and realize that they communicate just like normal people. A few weeks ago, we discussed Kim Kardashian's newest endeavor into the venture capital world, and now she's already getting in trouble…she's been ordered to pay a fine over $1 million to the SEC after some shady dealings in crypto. BALLS: Aaron Judge has made history, finishing the season with a record-breaking 62 home runs, the most for any player in the American League. Is that enough to keep the Yankees' momentum going after a bye week into the playoffs? We pick a few teams that might have a sleeper chance at making a run deep into October, and wonder if the Mets or Cardinals can pull it off against the mighty Dodgers. We are bringing back “Contenders & Pretenders” this fall, and discuss who's for real and who's just here for the ride. SPOOKY SZN PREVIEW (42:31) : It's October, which means you'll be seeing a lot more spooky content on social media…mostly thanks to Connor from @Con_Spiracy on TikTok, Facebook, and other networks. Connor, now a 3-time guest, joins us to kick off October the only way we know how - with Morbid Facts. We first discuss the Salem Witch Trials, and yes, it runs much deeper than what Hocus Pocus 2 tells us. Could “witches” just have been poisoned from a fungus in rye bread, afraid of getting attacked, or pressured by societal norms? All is on the table. We discuss the odds that vampires and sleeper cells are living among us in America. To close, we review the story of “The Man Who Killed Halloween.” This story ended up with the guilty party sitting on Death Row…and it's well deserved.

BEERS: Two unique reviews coming from us today. Will reviews a new creation from our friends at Providence Brewing Company…and they're “ice cold.” Frozen beers are all the rage in the summer, and PVD's lived up to their expectations. You can head to Providence Brewing to try either Strawberry Banana or Pina Colada! Jake reviews Bent Water Brewing's take on a White Ale - it was a bold attempt to Allagash's gold standard, but how does it fare up among a great selection of Bent Water's summer beers? BUSINESS: After a slow week last time, we discuss two big storylines that are affecting consumers. Amazon announced its intention to acquire iRobot - or, as you know it, the maker of the Roomba smart vacuum - for nearly $2 billion. We debate if this is a win for your smart home, or a win for “big data.” Also, we look into what other brands could potentially be acquired this year. In other news, if your flight is delayed longer than 3 hours, you could be entitled to financial compensation…if the DOT's new set of regulations goes through. The DOT proposed to force all airlines to give refunds to passengers under a few different circumstances that have affected nearly everyone that's flown these past two years. What does this mean for travelers in the near future? BALLS (32:08): JJ Gruden, long-time listener of the Small State Big Takes podcast and now friend of the House Enterprise community, joins the show. We discuss how JJ became known as “Taking the Points,” or “TTP,” on TikTok and Twitter. The summer has traditionally been a boring time to bet on sports, but TTP has taken advantage of a full baseball slate by betting the unders, and has made some coin in betting on a lack of offense. We also break down the upcoming football season: are we all out on the Cardinals? Can the Packers silence the haters? Are the 49ers a playoff-worthy team? Finally, we select our House Parlay - make sure you play along with us and bet it (responsibly) if legal in your state. We're proud to present Manscaped as our latest partner!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of scaling a business so you can put more time back into your day! Hear insights about: Why scaling a business enables you to achieve greater time and financial freedom How to leverage time, resources, and people to get the most out of our businesses Why success doesn’t have to come at a price How to determine what to delegate so you can focus on activities that only YOU can do What to look for in ideal candidates as you grow your team How to approach energy management as you scale your business How to organize your business to support your lifestyle vision The Art of Scaling a Business After 6 months on the road with my family, I am finally back at my office in Winter Park, CO. I am bursting with energy because when I first got into the real estate business, a trip like that would have been a complete fantasy! Scaling a business enables us to leverage time, resources, and even people to create more space in our lives for personal and professional growth. This process results in more energy, creativity, clarity, focus, productivity and so much more! Growth and scale are the keys to achieving the time and financial freedom you were seeking when you started. Stop Surviving Success Whether you are a brand new real estate agent or a seasoned veteran, chances are you’re reading this because you’re serious about success. Wherever you are on your journey, it’s important to prepare for your success, in order to avoid letting it rob you of your time, energy and sometimes happiness. Don’t get me wrong; success requires sacrifice. There’s a saying about entrepreneurs, something about working like most people won’t in order to someday live like most people can’t. On the other hand, the growth of your business should not prevent you from enjoying the very success you’ve been seeking once achieved! When you do it right, you’ll find yourself energized, organized, and creating predictable growth, leveraging your natural gifts as well as the gifts of others. You’ll create opportunities for everyone around you, while giving yourself permission to enjoy the fruits of your labor! Delegate and Automate The real estate industry is a roller coaster at the bottom, and it is a roller coaster at the top. If you are not enjoying the ride, it is time to take a step back and figure out what you can change! It doesn’t matter if you are able to pay the bills if your life is suffering as a result, and scaling a business can help you mitigate that lack of balance so you can focus on the revenue-generating activities that only YOU can do! When you figure out exactly what to delegate and offload from your plate, you will start to see results almost immediately. Learn how to get it done in this episode of Pursuing Freedom.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Canada/U.S. border closed, putting great stress on businesses and families on both sides who depend on international traffic. In this episode, Toby Mathis of Anderson Advisors talks to Lars Jacobson, a businessman and entrepreneur who has owned and operated his own businesses for more than 20 years. Lars and his family left southern California and moved to the panhandle of Idaho. He expected to semi-retire, buy 100 acres of land, and become a farmer. However, plans changed. In June 2019, Lars and his family acquired the “Little Town of Porthill, Idaho” that includes a convenience store, gas station, restaurant, and package depot on the Canadian border. Highlights/Topics: Picking up Packages: People don't want to ship packages from the United States to Canada because it's so expensive to get them across the border. Starting a Business: After living in southern California, Lars shared things by learning, travelling, and teaching entrepreneurialism. Forget about Retiring: After a year or so, God told Lars to buy a town. Wait, what? Pray about it and make it a family adventure. God is Good: Business was fantastic and awesome, but when the coronavirus hit, the border closed, and God gave Lars a challenge. Whatever happens, persevere. How much longer until the border opens? Remain hopeful and keep calling because nobody seems to have a clue. What about the Americans? The closest town nearby has a couple of supermarkets, gas stations, and fastfood, but is about a half-hour away and costs much more money. Got Money? The Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was supposed to be given to people and businesses that needed it. Was it enough? No, Lars’ business is losing more than $10,000 monthly and still cutting back. All the employees were laid off except a maintenance person. Everybody’s gone. Financial and Emotional Impact: Consider every option and do everything possible after losing what you worked so hard for all your life. Get yourself and your assets and liabilities structured, organized, and prepared.

Show NotesHair-Reland grew up in a fairly affluent White neighborhood constantly asked if her hair could be touched. She didn't truly understand the negative nuances of that question or action until later on.Being Mixed-It's fair to say she's privileged as a mixed-race person. Most people assume she's White, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to racism.-Reland is tired of frequently receiving questions concerning her ethnicity. They make her feel boxed in, and once she's been labeled as a Black person, her status changes.Positivity-Experiencing racism in any form is incredibly taxing, but Reland is naturally positive, resilient, and energetic. Her motto is that when one door closes, another opens, and she's not going to sit and stare at a closed door.Her Sales Journey-She began in retail then worked at a bank for a period before returning to retail as a Regional Merchandising Manager for Michael Kors. She left Michael Kors after being recruited to do business development for staffing.The Health Toll-To express an opinion as a Black woman makes you angry, but constantly being everyone's cheerleader takes a physical and emotional toll.-Reland ended up in the hospital for four days because her kidneys were on the verge of failure and she hadn't paid attention to the signs. She's held to a higher standard and feels she needs to show up for work no matter what.Starting a Business-After losing her job due to COVID and unable to get ahold of unemployment benefits, she started her own business in late March.-As she built it, the push to amplify Black voices began, so her launch has been successful.-Register to vote and vote with your dollar. Support the Black-owned businesses in your community.Performative Ally-ship-You won't get a gold star for posting on Instagram.

With 75 million dollars in sales under her belt last year, Leigh Brown and I shared one of the funniest and most thought provoking recordings yet! Her honesty was so on point when it came to the direction our industry is headed. If we want to see a change, we need to be willing to be that change. Get involved, take the time to advocate for our industry, and we’d all be better for it. We get such a bad rep as realtors because brokerages focus on the number of agents they hire instead of how many of those agents are capable of succeeding in this business. We are the only industry where likability trumps competency! Listen in as we discuss the importance of being authentic realtors from our involvement in our community, our business organization, and our client connections.     Show Features Here are some of the key takeaways you get from this episode. ·        Why 85% of Agents Get Out of the Business After 2 years ·        Making Competency more important than Likability ·        2 Key Factors that lead to Success ·        How to be proactive instead of reactive
