Key take aways this episode: Empowering your team is crucial for business growth, allowing you to step away without operations falling apart.  Delegation is most effective when you choose the right people for the task and provide clear instructions.  Building a culture of trust and accountability ensures that your team can make decisions and solve problems independently.  Documenting systems and processes is essential for creating a business that can run without you.  To create a business with maximum valuation, the company must not be dependent on any single leader, including the CEO.  All this and more, on this week's episode of Beyond 7 Figures.

Mitch Russo is the CEO of MindfulGuidance. He built one of the earliest and most successful software enterprises in the 1980s, which he sold to Sage and ran as COO with a team of more than 300 people. Since then, he has dedicated himself to helping numerous entrepreneurs grow their businesses in addition to founding several successful ventures of his own.

Together, they created a phenomenally successful business while serving countless entrepreneurs.  Mitch is the author of the best-selling books, The Invisible Organization and Power Tribes. He has also been featured in Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and more. In this episode… Developments in technology have provided great opportunities for entrepreneurs, especially for those in the SaaS development space. However, failure to embrace new technology or a delay in acting quickly enough can mean that entrepreneurs have to deal with obsolete software.  This is the situation Mitch Russo found himself in when a sudden change in technology made his software outdated overnight. He, however, decided to immediately switch gears and create a software for lawyers. The result? A $10 million company. Mitch Russo, the CEO of MindfulGuidance, is Rich Goldstein's guest in this episode of the Innovations and Breakthroughs Podcast, where he talks about his early entry into software development and the lessons he learned about the SaaS model. Mitch also talks about his ClientFol.io software platform and explains how pivoting helped him build a seven-figure business. Stay tuned.

About Mitch Russo: In 1985, he founded Time Slips Corporation which grew to become the largest time tracking corporation in the world and in 1994. Time Slips Corporation was sold to Sage PLC for eight figures. While he was at Sage, Mitch went on to run all of Sage US as Chief Operations Officer, a division with 300 people with a market cap and excess of a hundred million. Mitch joined Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins and created Business Breakthroughs International, a company serving thousands of businesses a year with coaching, consulting, and training services. Mitch was the president and CEO. In 2015, he published The Invisible Organization, which is a CEO's guide in transitioning a traditional brick and mortar company into a fully virtual organization. Nominated twice for Inc Magazine entrepreneur of the year, Mitch helps companies scale rapidly.In 2018, he published Power Tribes, how certification can explode your business which is the master-blueprint for building profitable certification programs. In 2021, Mitch launched Clientfolio, which is a SaaS platform for coaches to increase productivity and decrease administration time.    In this episode, Jordan and Mitch Russo discuss: Mitch's experience working as CEO for Tony Robbins How Mitch's SaaS platform, “Clientfolio” cuts admin from 30 minutes to 5 for each coaching client.   What an executive coach can do to increase their value to their client Key Takeaways Don't coach in an area in which you don't have experience. It's not ethical.  To build your company, get testimonials from people who respect you for how they've gained or transformed from your coaching.  Coaching is mostly not about telling people what to do, it's sharing your experience and what strategies worked and what can work for them too.  Failure is not the opposite of success, giving up is. You can't fail as long as you're pushing through all setbacks and hindrances.    “You don't have to be the best in the world to be a coach, you just have to be experienced in what your client needs.” —  Mitch Russo Get Mitch Russo's free ebook on how to get publicity at,  https://profitstackingsecrets.com/   Get Mitch Russo's blueprint for creating a certification program at www.powertribesbook.com     Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com    Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com  Connect with Mitch Russo:   Website: https://mitchrusso.com/ | https://clientfol.io/client/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchrusso/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/mitchrusso   Connect with Jordan:  Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com  Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com    Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/

Make sure that you tune in to this podcast to learn the greatest business wisdom from Mitch firsthand! About Our Guest:  Mitch Russo co-founded Timeslips Corporation, the largest time-tracking software company in the world. When Timeslips Corp. was sold to Sage, he served as its Chief Operating Officer. He was also a pioneer, and later the President and CEO, of the virtual organization Business Breakthroughs International, together with Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins.  Mitch is the author of the bestselling books, “The Invisible Organization,” and “Power Tribes – How Certification Can Explode Your Business.” In 2017, he launched the SaaS platform, The Results Breakthrough Network.

He volunteered to book their band for their gigs. Shortly, they started making over $500 a night—that was in 1970. This experience taught him how it's like to be an entrepreneur. When his parents divorced during his teens, they struggled with their finances. He and his sister decided that they will not remain poor. He studied electrical engineering and worked with pioneers in the computer industry. There, he didn't just learn how to build and design circuits; Mitch also learned how the industry leaders thought. He realized that the rest of the engineering jobs is more related to paperwork. He then started investing in real estate and building small portfolios of properties. Having a Sharp Eye for Opportunity to Reach Success You can be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to work. When you see an opportunity, you have to go for it confidently. There were a lot of starting software companies when Mitch started his, but he and his partner believed in what they're doing. "Comfort is the enemy of success." Overcoming the Greatest Challenges in Business When he started Timeslips Corporation, they priced the program at $99—which almost took its credibility away because it was so cheap. The American Business Association tried to discredit their product because it was not ABA certified. Together with his clients, they fought ABA and spread the word about Timeslips. 18 months later, the ABA convention invited Mitch as a keynote speaker. The Biggest Motivation to Success The three words that he had in his mind after a rejection from wanting to transition into sales became his motivation: "I'll show you." Entrepreneurs have to be careful of self-talk because it can either bring you up or down. Your belief and your determination to be successful is what will serve you towards it. Money is a measuring stick. Without the desire to pursue it, you're not going to want it. Advice for Struggling Entrepreneurs If you have a struggling business, there is no excuse, what you need to do is to sell. If you're in a slump, the best thing to do is to get testimonials from happy clients. A video or audio has more credibility than printed words. If you're starting, keep in mind that you have the gift of the beginner's mindset. The Wealth Mindset Wealth does not come to people unless they're in that mindset. You have to overcome the limitations of your unconscious mind. Your mentors don't have to be live people—they could be programs or authors. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to people. Consequently, you have to make yourself valuable to that person. The Greatest Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make Starting unprepared Demanding before proving their concept Not knowing the market You have to learn how to sell yourself and what you're doing. If you have 45 seconds to tell people what you do, you only need to write down seven words to convey your message. The first three words should be “You know how…,” and the next four words are, “What we do is…” Failures and Turning Points When he was working as a field applications engineer for a software chip vendor, his boss was upset when he found out that Mitch was Jewish. While contemplating whether he should quit, he went to a mentor in the industry who advised him not to let them take his job away from him. “It comes back to having a mentor. It comes back to that fork in the road that changes your life and making the right decision as hard as it might be.” Instrumental Habits to Success Learning from others and the way they solve problems. You can't be an expert at everything. Get to know as many successful people as possible and connect with them.  Final Notes Mitch is building a program to train coaches on how to get rich, which is called the Coaching Systems Architect.  The report in the program contains the Five Critical Areas Most Coaching Businesses Make.   P.S.

What You'll Learn From This Episode: Identifying your biggest bottleneck is Knowing if you are actually having a leadership and management issues Doing ‘self-growth' and then growing your business Related Links and Resources: My 'Profit Priorities Punchlist', it's a waited scoring system of how to figure out which bottleneck solutions is best to implement now. It's www.bbg.li/punchlist Summary: Today I'm digging in with Josh Long of BottleneckBreakthrough.com. Josh has been helping business owners unlock sustainable growth since 2008 when he worked with Chet Holmes to help launch his consulting agency. He quickly became the marketing director of Business Breakthroughs International with Chet and Tony Robbins, and has since worked with other thought leaders like Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, and Perry Marshall. Here are the highlights of this episode: 1:17 Josh's ideal Client: B2B companies, somewhere between 2-10 million whom I worked with most. I've worked with larger than that, I tend not to work with smaller than that. Once they get into a million, they tend to get into some leadership and management issues coming up that need to be dealt with. Everybody used to come to me thinking that they have a marketing problem, but in reality, it becomes a management and systems problem so often. I can do both, I enjoy marketing but it doesn't seem to move the needle that much, once you get that 7-figure ranges. 2:04 Problem Josh helps solve: The biggest thing is that they don't know how to identify with their biggest bottleneck is. It's the 'peter principle' right? We all grow into our level of incompetence and we don't know what we don't know. Most often they 'bootstrap', they know everything about their business, they can do all parts of it but that's not the solution anymore. Working harder, grunting it out, trying to direct all their staff how to do exactly how they want, is not the answer. So, it really becomes a leadership and management problems that most small business owners have to transition from that 'hairbrained' to 'do everything entrepreneur' to that organizational leader that can grow and be the business owner and get out of the way and develop management, develop staff that can make decisions and give results. 3:10 Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Josh: The big issue is, they are feeling really trapped by their business. I really never found anybody with a 5 million company that's happy. It's because up into that point, they used to play 'whack-a-mole' everyday; problems come out at them, they whack them, they knock them out, they go on. But once you get to that 3,4,5 million-dollar range, the problems are bigger and you can't solve them with quick response, you can't just 'shoo' them away. And all of a sudden, all of your staff are stuck waiting on you as the owner because they're not equipped, they're not empowered, they don't feel confident in making a decision and getting it done. And so, everything grinds into screeching halt that is growth oriented. And everybody becomes focused on maintaining the status quo. It's really that frustration; you start getting lethargic, you start thinking about other businesses, you start having other hobbies, you start sabotaging it, and in reality, you are just a little shift away from mocking more growth and really getting into 10 million and beyond. It's all a leadership management problem. Many business owners hit that spot. They're just frustrated, they start viewing their staff as 'flaky', they thinking that nobody can make decisions, nobody can do as well as them. It's that classic "might as well do it myself" and they get stuck with nothing. 4:54 What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Josh and his solution: The bigger problems are, that they try something and it doesn't work immediately then they moved on. and because they're not certain that it's going to work,

A: I think ignorance is not bliss. It's unfortunate that we don't have enough training for small businesses in America on how to actually grow them. We have a lot of hype in media in Cinderella stories that are unreplicable. And I think the reality is, if you're a small business owner listening to this, most small business owners really don't want to grow and it causes a stretch of growth internally to actually grow their company. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Log what you're spending your time on to figure out where the time ...

Check out these episode highlights: 01:56 – Josh's ideal client: "My ideal client is typically B2B business owners that are somewhere between one and 10 million, and they're trying to grow and they don't know how. And they're open to getting help to grow past that point." 02:14 – Problem Josh helps solve: "So, the problem I solve is I help them figure out what is the one major thing holding them back at their current revenue plateau?" 03:10 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Josh "So, the reality is, they're running out of time. They're running out of confidence. And they're highly frustrated that things are stuck." 05:40 – What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Josh and his solution?: "They buy a lot of software that they think is going to solve their problems. The reality is, and when people say, "Well, what's your favorite CRM, or what's your favorite email program?" And my answer is always the same, "It's the one that gets used." They're all good. They're all the same. They're all effective. Yes, we can split hairs that some are better than others, but the one that gets used is the best one." 06:38 – Josh's Valuable Free Action(VFA): "Log what you're spending your time on to figure out where the time suck is, where the inefficiency, where the friction point is, in your business that's consuming all of your attention." 06:49 – Josh's Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Join Bottleneck Breakthrough Method Facebook Group: Join now: http://www.bbg.li/fb 07:58 – Q: Why don't more business owners figure this stuff out on their own? A: I think ignorance is not bliss. It's unfortunate that we don't have enough training for small businesses in America on how to actually grow them. We have a lot of hype in media in Cinderella stories that are unreplicable. And I think the reality is, if you're a small business owner listening to this, most small business owners really don't want to grow and it causes a stretch of growth internally to actually grow their company. Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode: “Log what you're spending your time on to figure out where the time suck is, where the inefficiency, where the friction point is, in your business that's consuming all of your attention.'” -@joshualongClick To Tweet Transcript (Note, this was transcribed using a transcription software and may not reflect the exact words used in the podcast) Tom Poland: 0:09 Hello everyone,
