Leveling Up Your Leadership, with Frank Curtin Frank Curtin founded The Smart Guides LLC to help dentists and other professional practice owners get the most out of their businesses. Frank is an EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) implementation expert, and he utilizes his knowledge to help dentists streamline, strategize and optimize their practices. Frank started out working with his father, who was a financial and tax consultant, and from an early age, Frank began learning the important management aspects of a business. Prior to his current work, Frank served as a project manager for environmental consulting firms and as a supply chain management consultant for IBM. What You Will Learn: Frank discusses how he utilizes the Entrepreneurial Operating System to help dentists empower their staff to make decisions, taking some of the management pressure off of the practice owner. Frank talks about the importance of using an “accountability chart” and a series of protocols to help guide your staff to work on the things you consider to be a priority, rather than the things they would prioritize themselves. Frank explains what ‘visionaries' and ‘integrators' are, how they differ in their approaches to strategizing, and why each is an important component to the successful operation of a business. Frank explains why it is important to strategize ahead of time and break up your goals into 5-year, 2-year, 1-year, and 90-day plans, and why you should look at a few key performance metrics to look at to get an overview of your business. Frank shares details about his mastermind group, who the typical member is, and what the goals for the mastermind are. He also discusses why Think and Grow Rich and other classic books on business are valuable resources that you need to read.

Frank Curtin is an EOS implementer, business strategist, and has a background in project management and supply chain management. Frank has been Alex's EOS implementer and has helped Alex improve his systems and company culture. On today's show, Frank shares why it's important to have a flexible system for your organization, some top mistakes he sees real estate investors make, and how you can get started! Key Takeaways: Who is Frank and how did he get involved in entrepreneurship and system processes? Systems need to be flexible because when your company structure shifts (through growth), your systems need to shift with it. How can investors put the right structure in place? What is an accountability chart? Why is it that so many investors don't have important foundational elements in place like core values? When the market changes and you have no structure/systems in place, your business will crumble. And, the market will change! Frank is really dialed in on what are his strengths and what are his weaknesses. Every entrepreneur has to go through a survival phrase where they're starting their company and wearing all the hats. A bad hire is worse than no hire. How can investors find the right people for their team? As an employer, it's so, so, so important to be open-minded to your staff's suggestions on how to make something better. When you give people the lead and freedom to achieve their tasks the way they see fit, it creates trust and less turnover. Should you have your foundational pieces in place before you onboard a new employee? If you need help with your system, it's really valuable you pay a coach to help you with it. Get very clear on what are your priorities are to avoid the ‘shiny object syndrome.' Remember, you're going to make mistakes, but you're going to get better. Good things take time to develop! What kinds of mistakes do entrepreneurs tend to make when it comes to their systems? Take the first few steps. Just get started.
