"지수가 단지 일을 할 줄만 아는 줄 알았는데, 이젠 달라졌네."En: Minseo said, "I thought Jisoo only knew how to work, but now she's different."Ko: 하나는 웃었다. 금방이라도 지수가 나타날 것만 같았다.En: Hana laughed, feeling that Jisoo would appear any moment.Ko: 그 순간, 지수가 역으로 들어섰다.En: At that moment, Jisoo entered the station.Ko: 마지막 열차에 몸을 실으며 안도의 한숨을 내쉬었다.En: With a sigh of relief, she got on the last train.Ko: 그녀는 기차 안에서 창 밖을 바라보며 가족의 얼굴을 떠올렸다.En: On the train, she looked out the window and thought of her family's faces.Ko: 부산에 도착한 지수는 가족 모임 장소로 발걸음을 옮겼다.En: Upon arriving in Busan, Jisoo headed to the family gathering place.Ko: 가족들은 그녀를 반갑게 맞이했다.En: Her family welcomed her warmly.Ko: 엄마는 상기된 얼굴로 지수를 안아주었다.En: Her mom hugged her with a delighted face.Ko: "할 수 있구나! 와줘서 고마워."En: "You can do it! Thank you for coming."Ko: 지수는 미소 지었다.En: Jisoo smiled.Ko: 그렇게 그녀는 비로소 가족의 따뜻함 속에서 안식처를 찾았다.En: She finally found comfort in the warmth of her family.Ko: 일보다 더 중요한 것이 무엇인지 다시 깨달았다. 가족들과의 시간, 사랑, 그리고 웃음이었다.En: She realized once again what was more important than work: time with family, love, and laughter.

Are you running your business, or is your business running you? In this episode of the Smells Like Money podcast, host Suzan Chin Taylor sits down with Gregg Schonhorn of SF&P Advisors to dive into a topic many contractors and entrepreneurs avoid: exit strategies and succession planning. Gregg shares his journey from Wall Street to executive coaching and Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), bringing massive insights into how business owners can scale their operations for a highly profitable future exit. They unpack the critical internal systems that separate a thriving, sellable business from one that is bleeding revenue, while exploring a major industry pain point: why business owners mistakenly blame their marketing agencies when the real issue lies within their own sales processes and internal operations. Key Takeaways From This Episode:- The Reality of Exiting: Every business owner will eventually exit their company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Long range planning and a solid succession strategy are essential for securing your legacy and maximizing your company value.- Stop Blaming the Marketing Agency: When business owners complain that their marketing sucks, the root cause is rarely a lack of leads. It is almost always an internal process problem, such as unmanaged CSR pipelines, high numbers of unsold estimates, or poor lead conversion systems.- The Revenue Hiding in Your CRM: A $5 million company often sits on $600,000 to $800,000 in unsold estimates. Before demanding more leads, businesses need to optimize their call tracking, quality control, average ticket prices, and internal follow up systems.- The 24/7/365 Business Model: If your Google profile or website lists your business hours as Monday through Friday from 9 to 5, you are actively losing emergency revenue. Modern service providers must utilize AI automated answering systems and after hours processes to capture leads the moment they roll in.- Evolving Your Growth Tactics: What gets a business from zero to $1 million in revenue requires a relentless daily hustle, like home shows and physical community outreach. However, scaling from $5 million to $15 million and beyond requires stepping away from the daily grind and focusing heavily on long term branding, community presence, and robust infrastructure.Connect with Gregg Schonhorn:SF&P AdvisorsContact: gregg@sfpadvisors.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sf&p-advisors/ Website: sfpadvisors.comI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast #BuiltToSell #ExitStrategy #SuccessionPlanning #BusinessScaling #MergersAndAcquisitions #WastewaterIndustry #ContractorLife #WWETTShow

Some families are discovering that childhood doesn't have to feel like a race.
