Where to Start with Lighting and What “Lit Correctly” and “Dim Correctly” Means:With lighting design, Lynne always starts with the lifestyle of the client, regardless of whether she's starting from the ground-up or retrofitting an existing home. From her experience In Florida, Lynne often sees her clients replacing burnt out bulbs with light bulbs that are less than ideal. The rendering typically falls off over time, the dimming sometimes stops working, and Lynne is brought in to correct the situation.When a home is “lit correctly” it means that the lighting is consistent throughout the space. Color consistency is present throughout the home and dim-ability functions as it's supposed to. A properly lit home should create ambiance and just “feel right.”Lighting in the Real Estate Industry:To Lynne, lighting is typically one of the last things clients look at when it involves real estate. Ideally, proper lighting placement should be decided on during the construction phase of the home, specifically during the architectural stage. This allows designers to recommend the right product for the space, design the lighting scheme based around the lifestyle of the client, and provide the client with an accurate budget of what it will cost to properly light a home in today's world.Why is this so important? From Lynne's perspective, people are typically home more often at night than they are during the day, and real estate professionals often fail to familiarize themselves with the existing lighting setup. She strongly recommends viewing properties at night to get a more accurate feel for the overall aesthetic and consistency — and to determine what needs to be fixed before the house is put on the market.Topics Covered and Questions You'll Uncover During this Episode:What is the technology behind the lighting in luxury homes?How has lighting evolved from fluorescent to LED?Why is lighting important and why should real estate professionals and homeowners consider it when selling and building a house?What is the future of lighting in luxury homes?Resources Mentioned Within Episode:Official Website - Illuminated DesignHow to Reach Lynne StamboulyThe Institute for Luxury Home Marketing

In today's fast-growing entrepreneurial society, it is normal to feel a bit apprehensive when establishing a business because there is an element of uncertainty that one must deal with. Moreover, as a start-up, it can be extremely challenging because you are on your own, and there are few funds to support it. On top of that, you do not yet have a team of experts to assist you.  But, when you learn about decentralization and discover its tremendous benefits, you'll be pleasantly surprised. As much as possible, we aim to avoid burnout as it can have an adverse impact on our personal lives.   Considering all that. You can get my brand new, revised, and extended program called “The Entrepreneur Bundle” by visiting my website (https://www.keithkalfas.com) and learning how to take your business to the next level. I have packaged a collection that talks about getting your finances impeccably organized, helps you master marketing, and later on, hop on influencer marketing to build a larger audience online, and so much more for only $247 – a big promo drop from the usual price of $1000. Go to https://www.keithkalfas.com and check it out now! Cyber Monday promo runs from now until midnight. Are you ready to start? Get the deal before it reverts back to its original price.    In this episode, let's talk about the right way to win to reach that $100k mark. Let's dive in.     “There's a new reality. It's not like it was ten years ago. The people that lose are not going to pay attention to what I'm talking about. If you'll just keep doing it the old way, it's not going to work for you.”   – Keith Kalfas      Why do you have to listen to today's episode?   03:00 – Business thrives on competition and high worth; however, you have to adapt to a new reality to succeed in today's fast-growing marketplace.   05:06 – Decentralize your business. Learn how to trust people and have a small team that will help you do all the administrative side of the company and get things done.   07:04 – Check my entrepreneur bundle. Join private workshops. Go to live events. Get around mastermind groups. Buy online courses and get the answers that you need that apply to where you're at right now so you can grow and move on. Don't compare yourself to others either.   08:26 – Try out Jill's office, Jobber, and Blue Sky Bookkeeping to start decentralizing your business today. Virtual assistants are a big help in growing businesses a little bit more.   11:17 – Just like you, I have met so many people who were scared to start back then but have already reached $100-400k now. Take in the effort to get the momentum going and make sure you only allow the right information in.     Key Takeaways   “When I talk about the future being decentralized, this is you building a small team of people around you that help you run your business.”    “I met so many cool people that they were scared to start their business then they started it. Another year goes by. They're still afraid to go full-time in their business. And then the next year, they did it. And then, within the next 12 months, they crossed the $100 – 320k. I've seen $400k within two years. At some point, things just click. Once you get the momentum going in the business, you got some cash flow coming in, and you start to acquire the tools that you need to run your business. At some point, you can just hit it hard. But anyway, it's all about getting the right information.”    “If you feel worse when you're done watching somebody's video, don't watch that person anymore, and frankly, unfollow them because maybe they don't really care about you and your success.”       Connect with Keith    Facebook Instagram  YouTube LinkedIn Website       Resources/People Mentioned: My Website: Official Site Keith Kalfas My Blog: The Blog of Keith Kalfas My Resources: Resources (keithkalfas.com) Get My Landscaping Business Startup Course: How to Start a Landscaping Business RIGHT NOW (keithkalfas.com) Get My Free PDF Download The "7 Steps To Marketing Your Business" 7 Steps to Marketing Your Business Online (keithkalfas.com) Get a Free Trial of JOBBER Software & save 20% for the first six months.

I recently received not one, but two of the same type of marketing pieces. I hate to say it, but it wasn't the best marketing I have seen. It got me thinking, what makes a good marketing piece? I have Cassie Tucker back with me again to dive a little deeper into what makes a good piece and what these landscaping companies can do to improve on their attempts at getting their services out to the public. Check out what others in your industry are doing and learn from it. Determine where your future clients are going to find info on the services you offer. Once you identify where make sure you are there. Maybe it is on review sites or inside local Facebook groups. Wherever it is, make sure you have representation. It is ok to change your marketing focus by season. Often, people are looking for services at certain times. Make it simple to find you. Spend time getting to know people. Take the initiative and network with individuals in complementary industries. This is a great way to get your business in front of those who need your services. Last, remember that experience is key. The best advertisement you can get is word of mouth from happy customers. Make sure your messaging is key, and you equip your team to provide consistent service. You can have the best marketing possible, but without providing consistent customer service, you may as well be tossing business cards tied in a bag with a rock.

On today's show we are talking about when to fire a consultant. You hire consultants for specific expertise in a narrow domain. These folks are supposed to be subject matter experts in their area. There can be upwards of twenty of these consultants involved in a major project. The consultants we most often associate with a project include Architectural Environmental Geotechnical Civil Wind Noise Mechanical Structural Elevator Electrical Planning consultant Window washing design Building envelope Mature tree consultant Appraiser Ground water or riparian rights Heritage Traffic studies Landscaping design Energy efficiency 3D rendering artists All of these people are subject matter experts and could have specific deliverables to your project. That's a lot of people to manage who ultimately don't work for you directly. These experts are working simultaneously for multiple clients, on multiple projects. Some of their other clients have their own schedule deadlines and there is no guarantee that you will come out on top of a priority decision is made. Usually the hiring process for these consultants is based on referrals. The architect can often be a primary source of introductions to these consultants. If there is a pre existing working relationship, that can often be a strong endorsement of a particular consultant. When there are so many specialized disciplines, the odds are that you will eventually encounter someone you will need to fire. How and when to make that decision is critical in a project. ----------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

Challenges are the most difficult part of running your own business since this is the part that has real struggles. The pressure is overwhelming, and it's hard to think quickly and come up with a solution. But, despite those struggles and challenges, my question to you is, can you do something about it? This episode explores three effective ways of overcoming those challenges that I am still applying to my own landscaping business. It helped me, and I hope it will also help you get through the tough times you are currently going through.     Understaffed, overwhelmed, running behind, the phone's ringing off the hook.  How do you deal with it? When you're running behind apologizing to customers, and you got a business to run? Basically, everybody's mad at you. So when your back is up against the wall and your business, I want you to ask yourself. "Can I do anything about this?" Because crying to yourself or telling yourself stories or getting on the phone and complaining and whining isn't going to do anything. It's just going to make it worse, and you'll be annoying. - Keith Kalfas   Why do you have to listen to today's episode?   00:20 -Running a business has its challenges, but you should learn to deal with them instead of complaining or giving up. Here are three approaches you might consider to deal with these challenges; 1:36 - Is there anything I can do about this? You can solve more and more of these seemingly endless abyss problems if you focus. But, don't just focus on the problem. Focus on the solution. 2:39 - There is no easy solution to every problem. Often problems are hard to solve, and the truth is, there may be no solution at all. So, what should you do in the worst-case scenario? Why don't we surrender... Surrender to the process, and there's gold in the process. 3:52 - The next step is to change the way you look at it. Perspective is everything. Sometimes when you change the way you see an issue. Instead of becoming a challenge, it becomes an opportunity.   Key Takeaways "Stop trying to be so successful and trying and trying and trying that feeling of trying and fighting. Sometimes if you surrender to the process, that's where you're meant to be right now is working these things out of you and your spirit."   "Perspective is everything. Sometimes you need somebody who's an accountability partner or a coach in your life, somebody you can talk to you. I have people who are very close and dear to me that are entrepreneurs that I can actually trust, sharing my struggles with. And sometimes they give me this whole new perspective where it's like an out-of-body experience. And I changed the way I see the situation. And now it becomes an opportunity. When you change the way you see things, the things you see change. So by the very act of changing the way you see it, your consciousness actually somehow changes it."   Connect with Keith    Facebook Instagram  YouTube LinkedIn Website   Resources/People Mentioned: My Website: Official Site Keith Kalfas My Blog: The Blog of Keith Kalfas My Resources: Resources (keithkalfas.com) Get My Landscaping Business Startup Course: How to Start a Landscaping Business RIGHT NOW (keithkalfas.com) Get My Free PDF Download The "7 Steps To Marketing Your Business" 7 Steps to Marketing Your Business Online (keithkalfas.com) Get a Free Trial of JOBBER Software & save 20% for the first 6 months.
