Mike Michalowicz is the Best Selling Author of "Profit First" (REPLAY)Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that:· Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.· A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.· Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth.Want To Quit Your Job, Build Your Own Business, And Travel / Impact The World?Check Out The Action Academy Community / Schedule A Free Intro CallLearn How To Buy Real Estate & Businesses In 5 Minutes Per Week:Join Our Weekly Newsletter Follow Me As I Travel & Build:Twitter @theactionpodIG @brianluebbenTiktok @brianluebben

In episode 300 of the Practice of Therapy Podcast, we delve into a transformative approach to the hiring process: recruiting workshops. Traditional interviews, as it turns out, have proven to be less effective than anticipated, with a mere 10% of candidates hired through this method turning out to be great performers within organizations. This often results in mishires and mismatches that hinder a company's growth.  Entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz, known for his groundbreaking book "Profit First," is on a mission to change the hiring game. Drawing inspiration from his focus on prioritizing profit, Michalowicz advocates for the adoption of recruiting workshops as the future of effective hiring. These workshops, which have seen success in the sports industry, offer a hands-on approach to evaluating candidates. They allow employers to witness potential hires in action, assessing their skills, problem-solving abilities, and collaborative aptitude. By immersing candidates in real-world scenarios and tasks, employers can gain a deeper insight into their capabilities and suitability for the organization.  In this episode, we explore how recruiting workshops can revolutionize talent acquisition, elevate organizational success, and foster a paradigm shift in hiring, emphasizing unproven abilities and task-centric talent matching. Join us for an eye-opening discussion on the future of effective hiring practices.

Using real estate to improve his community is his mission and focus. We invite you to join us today to learn more about the difference between small and large contracts. Learn some techniques from Josue on how he acquired his 230 projects and plans to add more. If you are a real estate developer, what can you learn from this guy who has rapidly expanded his business? Getting the necessary answers and strategies is just a few clicks away, so start listening now.  Josue Velney is the founder and CEO of Velney Development, LLC. He served in the Marine Corps for five years. His service in his community as a firefighter and lieutenant spanned twelve years after he returned home. Currently, Josue works full-time as a real estate developer, where he is an expert at assessing the level of rehab needed to bring a project up to market value and develop large projects from scratch.   Why you need to check today's episode: Learn about VA loans and how to get them. Why should you take advantage of this? Find out the difference between working on a small project and a big one? What are the important factors to consider? And; Get some tips from our guest on how you look at properties. The methods used. Find out how you can determine whether a deal will succeed or not.   “At the end of the day, as a team leader and as a developer, if the project is successful or not, it's your fault. So you better educate yourself.”   - Josue Velney   Topics Covered: 1:36 - “And it just so happened that I took a makeup exam when I was home on leave on Christmas leave. And from there, I was selected. I was number four on the list, but its own fire department. So basically, it was a kind of smooth transition. The Marine Corps actually allowed me to leave a month early just so I could start training for the fire department.” In this story, Josue describes what it is like to be a member of the navy's first responder unit. How did he go from being a marine to becoming a firefighter?    3:24 - “I took the real estate course. I didn't get my license at the time. A few years later, I did. And I just kept asking everybody that owns one house or two houses, how did you do it? What do I need to know started going to first-time homebuyer courses and just really diving in deep and started realizing that a lot of the skill sets that I learned in the military could apply to real estate.” What made him realize that real estate is something he wants to do in life, and how he got into it?    5:22 - “VA loan is one of the two options that government options offer for 100% financing, the other one being the USDA, which is more rural. And so a lot of the military guys don't use strategy to buy their first home with a VA, which is smart. Comparison of a VA loan versus a conventional or an FHA loan.   11:47 - “Don't go to somebody you don't know and just say, hey, what can you do for me? It should be the other way around, like, what can I do for you?”  The importance of mentorship cannot be overstated. Investing in relationships is the most effective way to succeed.   15:56 -  “I have used seller financing, where the seller literally helped me get enough capital to close on that deal. So basically, what that looked like was the bank would lend 80% of the deal. I had 10% in, and the seller had 10% Hold back in.” He describes how he acquired his 230 units; what was it like to work all those hours?   21:08 -  “So just making that decision, it was when I decided,  I don't have enough time to really put into the real estate as much as and I acquire too much real estate, it needs my time, I might get a call about having to coordinate with a plumber, and I'm on a, I'm doing CPR,  like, two hours later, the basements flooded, or whatever made, like make might happen, you really can't deal with that. So I think that was a big defining factor.”  In the long run, what made him decide to become a real estate developer instead of serving his country? It was when he realized he was born to be a developer that he realized he was destined for it.   23:46 - “I think it's a combination of a few things like we already talked about. It is when you put your head down and you're working very, very hard. It seems like more people are going to help you, and they want to kind of guide you and show you how to do it. And sometimes, those come in the form of partners.” Here's how Josue transitioned from searching for a place to live to developing 230 units. In what ways was he able to expand his project?   30:05 “I prefer to do ground up, because one reason I prefer to do ground up, most people are afraid of it, because of the education and the risks, to really have a strong understanding of it, it just makes the markets that much smaller.” Josue describes his methods for searching for houses. Is there a particular way he looks at properties, and what are some of his strategies?   35:51 - “Like, Mike was talking about that sweet spot of, you know, 3040 units, that is good as an area where you're gonna get a better contractor, but you're not one of these big, big super big development companies that have to keep feeding the machine, right? They're super competitive, and they have more capital, and 40 units are not worth their capital raising.”  What makes a contract for a small project different from one for a large project?   44:44 - “ So I do have a joint venture partner that has more experience than I do that has been doing this a lot longer than I have, but we're all going to be raising capital, friends, and family. It's no different. It's really no different if you're trying to raise capital for a fund." Josue discusses where his fund comes from, and his exit strategy is.   51:36 - "So like, I calculate it out,  there's not just one metric you use to pencil these things out. It's your square foot, what's your bed and bathrooms going to get, what you buy, your land from, and what you have to give to the government to make them happy. There are a lot of moving metrics in this. But once you learn it, it's a skill for life. As long as you change the goalposts and move the goalposts, you're good.” Is there a way for you to know if the deal will work? Take the time to listen to the techniques discussed    53:38 - “Honestly, I think I would. I would do it all the same. I think it has gone great. It's not as gone perfect. But I mean, my company was, or I was, you know, 40 under 40 Boston Business Journal I got a citation from the governor's office.” Josue was asked if he had any advice for himself, and here's what he said. Key Takeaways:   “I believe the money is secondary if you're willing to just sit there and educate yourself. The money is literally endless when you have the right knowledge and the right mindset.” - Josue Velney “In some cases, I would argue it probably takes less effort to do a little bit bigger than the smaller stuff. But you get a disproportionate amount of return.” - Mike Webb “My why it's always changing. But the real focus is just community. If you look at my military career, what I have been able to do is serve my country. When I was a single firefighter, I was able to serve my community right. And now I still continue to serve my community by providing housing, you know, it's really, in what I found is when I take care of my community, my community takes care of me.” - Josue Velney       Resources Mentioned: Your First 100 Million:Your First 100 Million by Daniel S.

We women entrepreneurs keep underpricing ourselves when offering the same service or product as our male counterparts. On average, we price up to 20% less. When I first heard that, I was blown away! Pricing is one of the quickest and most powerful ways to adjust your business trajectory and make it more sustainable. I've seen it in my business and those of my clients. So in this episode, I discuss why properly pricing your offers is the first step to designing a successfully sustainable business. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 3:36 - What is the feast or famine zone, and does your business fall into it? Discover the two biggest reasons why businesses in this zone struggle to compete.  8:40 - I demonstrate how underpricing can easily lead to overworking by using the example of a wedding photographer. 12:18 - Taking the wedding photographer example further, this simple step is an easy way to improve your profitability and ease burnout. 14:42 - What if you want to double your rates? You need to take a deeper look at these factors in your business. 17:42 - Pricing impacts other aspects of your business. Michalowicz's Profit First percentages can help you figure out the math to meet your revenue goal. 20:43 - I push back against the hype of online gurus who have a certain mindset about pricing. There's a reason why I primarily work with service providers. 23:50 - What if you're not used to selling at a higher price or booking multiple sessions at a time per client? 26:55 - Here's why you don't need a large audience to get enough clients for your higher-priced programs and services. I give you a behind-the-scenes look. 28:52 - Keep these questions in mind as you crunch your numbers.

Property management growth expert, Jason Hull, has coached and helped hundreds of property management entrepreneurs change their businesses and lives. After all this time observing the industry, he offers an outside perspective on the kinds of software every PM entrepreneur needs.  In this episode, Jason Hull describes the ultimate stack of software for property management entrepreneurs, from the back office and maintenance to process documentation and hiring.

People usually cost you more than a thousand or 2000 bucks a month. [00:00:14] Welcome DoorGrow Hackers to the #DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow Hacker. DoorGrow Hackers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships and residual income. [00:00:51] At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. I'm your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. Now, let's get into the show.  [00:01:14] So we're going to talk about the ultimate property management software stack. I get this question all the time, property management software, "what's the ultimate stack?" Or "what software should I use?" Or "I've heard about this," or "we're using this, is this the best?" And I don't use property management software, right? I don't use property management software because I don't actually manage rental properties, right? But I have talked to thousands of property managers, and so I am kind of like the magic fly on the wall that's gotten more info and I don't think there's any other coach, anybody else out there that has the insight or the views or knowledge that I have. And so let me share with you just based on the feedback that I've gotten from property management business owners, my nerdiness related to software (I'm kind of nerdy.) This is what if I were starting property management company, this is the stack that I would use. And I don't think I have relationships with any of these, so they're not paying me to say this. One of the vendors might give me some sort of incentive or something if I send them business, but I don't even know if they're sending me stuff. I don't pay attention to it.  [00:02:25] So, here's kind of the ultimate stack based on what I know right now. And somebody may be watching this and they might think, "there's something better, Jason." If you know that there's something better, comment what you love and what you use and what you think is the ultimate stack. If you're a software geek, if you're a research geek, if you put in a lot of time and energy into this, I'd love to hear from you because I'm always looking for what's best for my clients and for everybody in the industry at large. So for single family, residential property management companies, which is largely the target audience that I focus on, this is the ultimate stack. [00:03:00] So first, basic, you need some sort of back office property management software. This is going to help you with the accounting piece and keeping track of all your rental properties. This is going to be the main sort of foundational piece in your business software- wise. , Usually I would recommend rentmanager.com. So Rent Manager... I just, I hear the most positive feedback on Rent Manager. And so I recommend that you take a look at that software. Now, I know it's really hard to switch software, so if you are using AppFolio or Buildium or Rentec Direct or Propertyware, or-- gosh, what else is out there? I don't know-- any of these tools, I'm not telling you, you should go switch software. Yeah. You know, it's hard. It's really hard to switch software, and usually people spend a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of energy to switch software only to notice the other software is missing some things that they liked in the previous one or has some other problems. [00:04:03] And so that's not generally super effective to do that. So the reason I like Rent Manager, let me explain this and maybe a little bit about why I don't like some of the others, right. Some of the challenges. One of the most common is AppFolio. So one of the reasons I wouldn't choose AppFolio is because AppFolio does not have an open API. Now granted, they have a lot of tools, right? So maybe you don't need it is the justification, but I like to pick the best tools. I don't want one Jack of all trades master of none, maybe master of some, maybe master of a few. I want to build the ultimate stack, and if I'm going to build the ultimate stack, that means I need to be able to pick and choose and create my ultimate Swiss army knife, my ultimate multi-tool, the ultimate thing that I want. And so I want to be able to pick the best tools because software's way cheaper than people, so if I can pick a software, even if it's more expensive or it's additional, instead of translating or transferring that cost onto the shoulders of humans and staffing costs, and I can just mitigate a little bit of staffing costs, it's totally worth it to me. So even though some of the most expensive software might only cost you maybe a thousand or 2000 bucks a month, right, if it were really expensive, people usually cost you more than a thousand or 2000 bucks a month, unless you're getting part-time people or people in the Philippines or something.  [00:05:26] Then usually you need something on the maintenance side, and this is usually maybe once you're at maybe 50 to maybe 150 doors, somewhere in that range. But at some point, you want some leverage when it comes to maintenance coordination. I hear great feedback from Property Meld. Now, these guys, when I did a podcast episode with them, we set up some sort of thing. I think it's still active. It'll send them a lead. They might give me a kickback on it. I can't remember. Property Meld, if you're listening, you should be giving me kickback for this still, but I don't even pay attention to it. But if you go to doorgrow.com/maintenance, long time ago, I set up a quiz. So if you go to this website, I set up a little quiz that you can take, and it will give you, I believe a 10% discount if you fill that out with Property Meld. But Property Meld, what's really cool about Property Meld is basically it's a three-way text message system between you, the tenant, and the vendor.  [00:06:26] And so this allows all three of you to be communicating, and it allows you to see the communication between the tenant and the vendor, which them communicating directly speeds things up like dramatically. There's that transparency that you can see how they're doing and see how it's going. So that's on the maintenance side. Now with Property Meld, they have a relationship, I believe still that if you get their full service, then also that's pairing it with EZ-- spelled E and then Z, which is sort of a cute, clever name that they probably should rebrand, but EZ Repair Hotline. I don't know if it's ezrepair.com or easyrepairhotline.com. Hopefully my team could figure that out when they do the show notes, (it's https://www.ezrepairhotlinellc.com) but EZ Repair and if you talk to Property Meld and get their full service, I guess that's who they use and that's what's included--  [00:07:18] EZ Repair is a call center service. It was founded by Andy Shin. He's been on the podcast before. He used to manage the call center for AAA, so he knows what he's doing. His team's based out of Vegas. And my understanding is they've really improved since he started the business, and they were a lot more affordable than Night Tenders, which became Super Tenders, which I think became Abodea or something like that. So my understanding is that they're are a lot more affordable, and they're comparable. They're pretty decent and pretty good at what they do, and that they made a lot of strides to get even better over time. So I would check out EZ Repair along with that, and what they do is they handle the calls. So they handle your maintenance calls. So then you'll have that for your maintenance calls, and that's going to take a load off of your plate as well. So, that's on the maintenance side. [00:08:11] The other tool in my ultimate stack if I were making a property management business is: I would get Tenant Turner, and that is just at tenantturner.com. You've got some competitors in this space. You've got Rently, you've got ShowMojo. I've heard good feedback recently on ShowMojo from some people. It seems like they do a pretty decent job. They've also got a call center where they'll field, I think the phone calls, I don't know, related to the rental properties, but Tenant Turner is probably the tool that I would go with as of right now. I've met some of the principals at that business. I like them. I feel like they're stand up guys and ethical. I believe I've had them on my podcast, but I like Tenant Turner, and that's probably what I would go with. So, that would be on the leasing side, and the smart thing to do on the leasing side, quick bone I'll throw out to everybody there is to shift away from one-off showings to open houses. [00:09:05] This is going to be significant in collapsing time there. It creates a sense of false scarcity, I guess, you know, lots of tenants coming at the same time. Do a 30 minute window. Just do it one weekday in the evening and one weekend day, and do it for a 30 minute window for each and everybody that wants to see that property goes to that, and Tenant Turner can help make sure people are reminded, they show, it can pre-screen, um, allows people to book that time and that sort of stuff, so I would go with Tenant Turner.  [00:09:38] Let me think if there's anything else I would use. I mean, this is kind of the core stack. You've got the main leasing side thing, which would be Tenant Turner and then you've got the maintenance, which are the two big sort of wings of the property management business or challenges. And then you've got your PM back office, which would be Rent Manager. So that would be kind of the core what I would do. Then you need some sort of inspection software. I don't get a lot of feedback on that, but I know there's zInspector I've heard good things about. There's Happy Inspector. There's Inspect & Cloud, and I'm sure all of those integrate with Rent Manager and probably all the other software out there, so I would pick one of those. I would take a look at those, and I would probably have some sort of inspection software as well. And that's going to be a pretty good stack for your business.  [00:10:27] Oh, there's one other software here I would probably recommend as of right now, that would be a sales CRM. As of right now, that would be LeadSimple. So LeadSimple is, as far as I know, the only property management sales CRM. There might be some others that can pull in leads and are okay, but LeadSimple's claim to fame is that if a lead comes in through your web form or your website, you can set up to parse the email, pull the phone number, out and initiate a phone call right away, because leads are really only good for about the first five minutes really, maybe the first 10, but you need to follow up within the first five minutes and then people are impressed. The lead's still hot, it's fresh, and it's not gone stale, to give you some other analogies here, but you want to follow up right away because otherwise, they're going to move on to the next company, and the first property manager that they talk to or that talks to them is more likely to get the deal.  [00:11:19] So, And if you're spending money on lead generation, which I don't recommend, but if you're spending money on like advertising, which I don't recommend there's better ways to grow your business, but if you're spending a bunch of money on advertising, you are wasting a massive amount of money into a leaky sales funnel if you don't have something like LeadSimple, or you aren't following up on leads within the first five to 10 minutes. So that can be effective as well. I send them so much business, they should be sending me some sort of kickback. So LeadSimple, if you hear this, you should be sending me some money, people, 'cause I send you a lot of business. All right. But yeah, I would check out LeadSimple. They have also a workflow built into their platform. That's kind of a, I guess, a competitor to Process Street. Personally, I don't know, Lead Simple's tools, so I can't recommend it, but internally we use Process Street. [00:12:08] I really like Process Street for processes. This is their website: it's process.st. I've had them on the podcast as well, but I really like Process Street. We use it internally. It's great for creating process documentation, but also for using as a checklist to run through that process, and it records an instance for each checklist every time somebody runs through that and uses that process. And so it's like having a clipboard with check boxes they have to go through each time they do that particular task. Except it's not a clipboard, it's digital. So I like Process Street a lot. You can get really complex with it or you can get really simple. And so we use Process Street internally. I highly recommend it. I like it. Now, I'm hearing some really good feedback lately.  [00:12:55] You also need some sort of task management system just for one off tasks. So there's a lot of people that will use something like Asana. Now, some people are, instead of using Process Street, which is really robust. They'll use something that's maybe not as robust, but has similar functionality to that and Asana, and that's Monday. So I'm hearing some really great things about monday.com for basically largely task management and maybe repetitive processes. Okay, so you may want to check out monday.com for your internal processes. Asana does have repeating tasks and has templates, so you can have sort of formulas of things, but I don't think it has the functionality of people following through a process and being able to show like screen recordings and screen captures and screenshots and steps and Process Street, you can build all that stuff in.  [00:13:49] I don't know if Monday can do that also, but Monday does allow you to kind of see where things are in a stage in a workflow and have stages and stuff. So for you know, really large pools of processes that are being worked on, like maybe you have like 20 properties you're onboarding, you can have an instance of Monday of each, similar in Process Street. In Asana, you would just build out like clone templates, probably. So these are these are some of the tools that I would be taking a look at seriously. If I were to start a property management biz.  [00:14:23] And now the other thing that I would recommend that a property management business is eventually once you have a team, you're going to need some sort of planning system, and we've built what I believe is the ultimate software planning system. We call that DoorGrow OS. OS stands for 'operating systems.' So there's a lot of talk about like EOS which is from like Traction or Rocket Fuel, these books. And, these are good books. It's a good system. These are good ideas. I really feel though that the flaw in this is It's built too much around the entrepreneur is what they claim, but it's not actually built around the entrepreneur. EOS is really built around the idea of the integrator, and the integrator is like the most critical piece in this system. And an integrator really is a glorified operations person that they're also putting over and it should be running your cadence and running your planning, but they're putting over sales and marketing and usually operators should not be over sales and marketing. It's a big tactical mistake in business. And it also is a very top-down system instead of the team kind of, it's, it it plays into the ego of most entrepreneurs thinking they're the visionary and everybody has to do things that they want. And it's very top down.  [00:15:45] DoorGrow OS is more bottom up. It allows you to have your entire team focused on the goals of the business based on what the biggest needs of the business are and the biggest needs of the entrepreneur are. And so, DoorGrow OS is really entrepreneur centric, visionary centric, which it's your business, and then we build the ultimate team and planning and cadence around you so you're going to have a business that actually gives you more freedom, more fulfillment, more contribution, and more support the bigger it gets instead of the reverse. There's some other flaws with EOS, like I don't like their accountability chart where they've got visionary and then integrator, and then the entire team answers to the integrator. I think that's the most dangerous business model ever. You're putting somebody in a position of power in which the entire team are loyal and connected to them. And they're probably not good at being over all of these different department. They basically, if they were or could be, they don't need you. 'Cause they could just chop off that top layer off the accountability chart, which is just a fancy word for an org chart in EOS and eliminate you and they can start their own business, right, if they really are that good.  [00:16:50] So you need a really good planning system. I recommend DoorGrow OS it's really cool system. And then the other thing is you need eventually if you're really wanting to scale and grow your business and you're growing quickly, like a lot of our clients do, you will need an ATS or an applicant tracking system. And so we have our system, which is DoorGrow ATS. And so, this is the ultimate hiring system for a business. We have some really cool stuff coming related to this, but this allows you to basically get really great people and get what I call the three fits, which is having the ultimate hire where they match all three fits, where they're a culture fit, skill fit, and personality fit for your team, and usually the most important of those three is cultural fit. Most people hire just based on what the business needs and based on skill that is needed, so they get a skill fit. But they're not the right personality sometimes for the position, so they're not going to actually be great at it.  [00:17:51] They're maybe not a good culture fit, which means they don't share your values and won't do things in a way that you would feel safe with. And so you'll never fully trust them. And so right now, if you have a team member that's just not great, I guarantee, they're probably not a culture fit or they're probably not a personality fit. Skill fit or intelligence, they just, maybe they're too dumb to do it. Most likely not. They might just not be the right personality and might not be the right cultural fit. So DoorGrow ATS is another system that would need to be built out in the business. And there's several other systems I've talked about on previous episodes that a business might need in the business.  [00:18:26] And I'll throw out one other system that we use in our business that I'm a big fan of, and that is Profit First. We have some other tools like my CEO metrics and some other stuff that my team report in, but I really like, you know, as a basic level, really healthy accounting system, I like the Profit First system. I've had mike Michalowicz the author of the book Profit First on a previous podcast episode. I recommend you check that out if you're running into cashflow issues, if you're having trouble paying your team, if you've run into any of these problems that are very typical in early stage businesses or with entrepreneurs. I've been there. You've probably been there. I highly recommend implementing the Profit First system in your business. It's really simple to implement. It's just getting some additional bank accounts set up and then as money comes in, divvying it up into these different bank accounts based on percentages and making sure that you're taking out a percentage for profits so that you are profitable first and then what's left over one of those will be expenses. And so I recommend taking a look at that. So these are some of the systems that I think would help too.  [00:19:31] If I were building the ultimate stack for the ultimate problem management business, these are the things that I would take a look at. And then really, it's about getting really great people and building a really great team so that you have awesome team members. Yeah. So that's going to create the ultimate business and that we want to build the ultimate business around you. So if you're struggling or trying to figure out how to grow your business, you are running into the bottleneck where you feel like you are the biggest bottleneck in the business, you feel like you're always having to micromanage your team, you're trying to get them motivated, trying to get them to do the right things. I really think you could use our scale program in our DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind, and we would love to talk with you. We easily will help pay for the program just by helping you to cut costs, increase the efficiency of your team. Usually, I can get people three times the output from their team or cut their staffing costs in half or by a third, depending on what your goal is, we can increase that. And then we also want to increase your level of what I call the four reasons. You're getting more freedom, more fulfillment, more contribution, and more support. [00:20:36] So we will realign the business around you and realign the team. So anyway, reach out to us at DoorGrow. Check us out at doorgrow.com and until next time everybody to our mutual growth.

Get Different: Marketing That Can't Be Ignored! by Mike Michalowicz About the Book: From Mike Michalowicz, bestselling author of Profit First, Clockwork, and Fix This Next, a practical and proven guide to standing out in a crowded market. Many business owners are frustrated because they feel invisible in a crowded marketplace. They know they are better than their competitors, but when they focus on that fact, they get little in return. That's because, to customers, better is not actually better. Different is better. And those who market differently, win. In his new marketing book, Mike Michalowicz offers a proven, no-bullsh*t method to position your business, service, or brand to get noticed, attract the best prospects, and convert those opportunities into sales. Told with the same humor and straight-talk that's gained Michalowicz an army of ardent followers, with actionable insights drawn from stories of real-life entrepreneurs, this book lays out a simple, doable system based on three critical questions every entrepreneur and business owner must ask about their marketing: 1. Does it differentiate? 2. Does it attract? 3. Does it direct? Get Different is a game-changer for everyone who struggles to grow because their brand, message, product or service doesn't stand out and connect with customers--the long-anticipated answer to the defining business challenge of our time. About the Author:  By his 35th birthday, Mike Michalowicz had founded and sold two multi-million dollar companies.

Since then Mike has devoted his life to the research and delivery of innovative, impactful business growth strategies. Mike is the creator of Profit First, which is used by hundreds of thousands of companies around the world to drive profit.

We women entrepreneurs keep underpricing ourselves when offering the same service or product as our male counterparts. On average, we price up to 20% less. When I first heard that, I was blown away! Pricing is one of the quickest and most powerful ways to adjust your business trajectory and make it more sustainable. I've seen it in my business and those of my clients. So in this episode, I discuss why properly pricing your offers is the first step to designing a successfully sustainable business. On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO: 3:36 - What is the feast or famine zone, and does your business fall into it? Discover the two biggest reasons why businesses in this zone struggle to compete.  8:40 - I demonstrate how underpricing can easily lead to overworking by using the example of a wedding photographer. 12:18 - Taking the wedding photographer example further, this simple step is an easy way to improve your profitability and ease burnout. 14:42 - What if you want to double your rates? You need to take a deeper look at these factors in your business. 17:42 - Pricing impacts other aspects of your business. Michalowicz's Profit First percentages can help you figure out the math to meet your revenue goal. 20:43 - I push back against the hype of online gurus who have a certain mindset about pricing. There's a reason why I primarily work with service providers. 23:50 - What if you're not used to selling at a higher price or booking multiple sessions at a time per client? 26:55 - Here's why you don't need a large audience to get enough clients for your higher-priced programs and services. I give you a behind-the-scenes look. 28:52 - Keep these questions in mind as you crunch your numbers. Show Links Profit First by Mike Michalowicz Racheal on Instagram

Profit First was originally written by Mike Michalowicz, and the field of dentistry was lucky enough to have our own version recently made by Drew Hinrichs and Barbara Stackhouse called Profit First for Dentists! In this week's episode we review the book and how it may be beneficial to everyone (even if you don't own a practice!)  Ensuring that you're paying yourself what you deserve is a golden opportunity to propel yourself towards FIRE by securing the vital and elusive "profit" first. This strategy can even be used in personal finance to ensure that you're maintaining an appropriate savings rate.  

After reading an article about a local farmer who had dedicated his life to growing giant pump­kins, Michalowicz realized the same process could apply to growing a business. He tested the Pumpkin Plan on his own company and transformed it into a remarkable, multimillion-dollar industry leader. First he did it for himself. Then for others. And now you. So what is the Pumpkin Plan?

Sid & Keith discuss Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.

On this episode of The Friday Habit, Ben summarizes the main points of one of his favorite books: “Fix This Next” by Mike Michalowicz. As we all learned in that one college psychology class, humans have needs in life that fall into 5 basic categories as defined by Maslow, from most basic to most complex: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Maslow explained that certain needs must take priority over others as we go through life and it is important to prioritize the most basic before moving up the hierarchy.Michalowicz believes that a similar concept can be applied to businesses, and while two hierarchies might seem like a lot to place into the already-full hands of entrepreneurs, hopefully you will find that understanding the different levels will simplify things for you. He defines the business hierarchy of needs, from most basic to most complex as: sales – creation of cash, profit – creation of stability, order – creation of efficiency, impact – creation of transformation, and legacy – creation of permanence. In “Fix This Next”, Michalowicz outlines 5 questions for entrepreneurs to ask themselves about their businesses pertaining to each level of the hierarchy, providing a framework for areas to focus on before moving on to the next level. By asking yourself these 25 questions, you should be able to easily identify gaps and problems that need to be addressed and establish principles that will guide your actions moving forward. This is a great read for anyone who has built their own business or brand and anyone who wants to in the future, but this book does not fully serve its purpose if you don't take action after reading it. Links:“Fix This Next” book: https://www.amazon.com/Fix-This-Next-Change-Business/dp/0593084411“Fix This Next” Book Website: https://fixthisnext.com/Free Resources mentioned: https://s3.amazonaws.com/MikeMichalowicz/FTN/FTN-Graphics-Charts.pdf Connect with us:https://www.thefridayhabit.com/thefridayhabit@knapsackcreative.com https://www.instagram.com/benjaminmanleyhttp://www.benjaminmanley.com/ https://www.brandvivamedia.com/https://www.facebook.com/Marklab2https://www.linkedin.com/in/marklab2/

About Profit FirstSerial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. (Source: Amazon)Sarah's Favorite Quotes“Growth is the battle cry of nearly every entrepreneur and business leader. Grow! Grow! Grow!… Growth is only half the equation… Most business owners try to grow their way out of their problems...but the result is simply a bigger monster.”“Profit is not an event. Profit is not something that happened at the year end or at the end of your five-year plan or Sunday. Profit isn't something that waits until tomorrow. Profit must happen now and always. Profit must be baked into your business. Every day, every transaction, every moment. Profit is not an event. Profit is a habit.”“Give yourself more joy when you choose not to spend money than do you do when you choose to spend it...Celebrate every time you save – whether it's 10 bucks or 10,000.”Shaunae's Favorite Quotes"Money problems happen when: sales slow down, sales speed up (expenses go up too)""Bigger is NOT Always Better: more revenue does not mean you are more successful""Growth is only half the equation, Let the right size business find YOU!"“Profit must happen now and always, profit is not an event, it's a habit.”“Revenue is vanity, profit is sanity, and cash is king”Helpful Links Mentioned in This EpisodePurchase Your Copy of Profit First: https://amzn.to/318yVRSFind The Creative Legacy Podcast Online:Website: thecreativelegacypodcast.comInstagram: instagram.com/thecreativelegacypodcastFacebook: facebook.com/thecreativelegacypodcastFacebook Group: facebook.com/groups/thecreativelegacypodcastFind Sarah Online:Website: sarahschraderdesign.comInstagram: instagram.com/sarahschraderdesignFacebook: facebook.com/sarahschraderdesignFind Shaunae Online:Website: shaunae.comInstagram: instagram.com/shaunaeteskeFacebook: facebook.com/shaunaeteskephotography

The COVID-19 Opportunity for Carpet Cleaners & Home Service Contractors We are in an unprecedented time with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) sweeping the nation. Many Carpet Cleaning & Home Services Businesses are unsure how to proceed and how this will impact their businesses. In this video I explain why you must look at this as an opportunity and how you can make the most of it rather than shuttering in fear. Click or Subscribe Below To Listen To Our Podcast Audio Episode Of This Training Full Transcription 0:02 It's John here from carpet cleaner marketing masters wanted to do this video here just to talk about the COVID-19 situation, because there's lots of concern and fear going on. I talked to a lot of carpet cleaners, we have quite a few carpet cleaners, as clients, several dozen, and I talked to hundreds and hundreds online as well. And there's just a lot of confusion and fear. And people don't know what to do. They don't know if they should be pressing forward. They don't know if they should be holding back to protect them, their team and their customers. They don't have to be shutting the whole thing down. So I kind of wanted to talk about the what we see is the COVID-19 opportunity. 0:44 And I don't mean that to be a little flip. I'm not saying that, you know they're, you know, Rosy times ahead. We'll talk about that. But there really is only two ways to think of this. And you're either going to hear the news, get scared want to curl up in a ball and watch Netflix or you You're going to see this as an opportunity, and sit, try and separate ourselves from the competition. So I wanted to kind of walk through that. Now, again, as I said, I'm not trying to say that you know, Rosy times are ahead. The reality is, times are tough. And things are going to get worse before they get better, as they say, and we're going to have this massive slowdown in the economy. So the reality is, in a slowdown, it tends to affect the larger corporations more. They can't pivot and dodge as easily as we can, as small businesses. So small businesses can can make changes they can they can do a lot of things in the marketplace that really, really help them stand out better. So I was watching a webinar by Mike and what's his last name? Michalowicz - if you've ever seen a profit first great book, if you haven't read it. He also has another one called fix this next. I haven't read that one. But profit first, he worked with over 200,000 small businesses. And this interview was just about a week ago. And he was talking about this situation right now. And the opportunity that exists to stand out to differentiate yourself for small businesses to really, really capture market share. So that's kind of what we want to talk about here is just how we're going to be able to do that. So the absolute fact is that customers still need your services. And that's, that's the truth. They need to know that you are in business. And in a lot of cases, they need you more than ever right now. So we know that you know, people are scared, they're concerned about viruses, they're concerned about human contact point sanitation. A lot of us you know, in the cleaning industry know all about that. We've been trained on that. We understand that and we can help reassure them they might be, you know, at working from home now they have the children at home because so many things are shut down. They might have elderly parents staying with them to take care of them...
