She started TNFR quite literally in her father's garage. She grew up in the family business of contracting before leaving for 11 years. She returned with solid training in business work environments and she credits that time with founding a solid peer aspect to her relationship with her father, respect that served both well in working together.From a young age Danielle learned to hone her entrepreneurial spirit; she got a job cleaning for a neighbor at age 12 so she could buy her own clothes, a move encouraged by her mother. Now with her tech company, The New Flat Rate, she provides the sales platform needed to increase cash flow for small businesses in the heating, air, electrical and plumbing home services industries. TNFR is rolling out beta for chimneys and launched an indoor air quality app last year. But Danielle is looking to learn more about leadership and wants to lean in to saying no to distracting opportunities so she can focus on enabling employees with challenges and zeroing in on what her business truly needs to grow. In this episode of What CEOs Talk About, host Martin Hunter and Danielle Putnam explore all the ways in which saying yes to too many things, such a necessary attribute in the starting years of business, must evolve into saying no to more things once the business is stable. They discuss how they keep devoted family time in balance while leading busy work lives and Danielle shares her recent gains in the art of saying ‘no' for the right reasons. Resources mentioned in this episode:URGEOContact email: info@urgeo.comMartin Hunter on LinkedInDanielle Putnam on LinkedInThe New Flat Rate WebsiteThe New Flat Rate on LinkedInJohn Maxwell‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Stephen R.
