This week Brian Clayton, CEO of GreenPal, shares his incredible journey of building a successful lawn care platform. From starting off as a teenager cutting lawns to eventually selling his first business and developing GreenPal, Brian's story is filled with valuable insights for entrepreneurs. One of the key topics discussed in this episode is the focus on organic search and SEO. Brian explains how he initially invested in various marketing channels but found them to be costly and inefficient. He decided to concentrate solely on organic search and realized that building a platform was easier than competing in organic search. He shares how he put in hours every day to manage the business, develop strategies, and learn about SEO. Another important lesson shared by Brian is the importance of building a strong sales system and team. He learned early on that he was in the sales business, not just the lawn mowing or landscaping business. It took him around five years to develop a sales system and build a sales team to grow his business. Brian emphasizes that many first-time founders tend to focus on the product or service and neglect the importance of distribution. Throughout the episode, Brian also highlights the significance of personal branding and the role it plays in determining one's future endeavors. He believes that building a strong team and having a culture fit is essential for company growth. Brian shares his goals of reaching 1 million customers and $100 million in sales, showcasing his ambition and determination. This episode provides valuable insights into entrepreneurship, personal branding, and expert business.

A great idea can create a better world. Bryan Clayton had an idea he believed in so much that he put it all on the line - and he's so glad he did.  Bryan Clayton is the CEO and Co-Founder of GreenPal, an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals. GreenPal has been called the Uber of lawn care by Entrepreneur magazine and has over 200,000 active users completing thousands of transactions per day. GreenPal makes finding a lawn care professional simpler than ever. Customers who want consistent and reliable service love GreenPal for access to high-quality professionals. And lawn care vendors love using GreenPal too - because they receive more work, get paid faster and cut down on marketing costs.  Before starting GreenPal, Bryan Clayton founded Peachtree Inc., one of the largest landscaping companies in the state of Tennessee, growing it to over $10 million a year in annual revenue before it was acquired by Lusa holdings in 2013. Bryan‘s interests and expertise are related to entrepreneurism, small business growth, marketing, and bootstrapping businesses from zero revenue to profitability and exit.  Always be helpful, no matter what Before Bryan had the idea for GreenPal, he owned a thriving lawn care business. It was doing so well that they were only taking large commercial contracts - turning away anything smaller than airports, malls and developments. He referred prospective clients to smaller lawn care businesses locally completely for free.  Bryan believes that we should always be helpful, no matter what. He continued showing up to refer business between vendors and customers - until he realized that he could build a service they would use every day. Seeing an opportunity to make larger and more lasting connections, Bryan developed the concept for GreenPal to make lawn care service seamless. Don't cut corners, put the work in Bryan had never written code in his life. Bryan and his Co-Founders pooled their money to hire an app developing service - which was an expensive lesson. Despite their vision for the app, the development process was painful and ineffective. They realized that they needed to approach their idea differently and pivot. Not giving up, the three Founders got to work in separate spheres to make the business work - Zach Hendrix spent hours every day in an online software coding class, Bryan worked on front end development, and Gene Caballero worked PR and wrote content. They weren't going to let their idea fail because of one expensive hurdle, and they knew it would pay off. Living on rice and beans, the Founders spent all of their time learning new skills.  Bryan discusses how painful but important this lesson was. He emphasizes the importance of skill-building, flexibility and customer feedback. In fact, after spending months wasting time on branding and mascot design, he realized that he could have hustled up a hundred customers instead.  He encourages entrepreneurs to remember the goal and abandon the fluff. What skills will truly drive your business forward? And are you spending enough time listening to the feedback your customers give?  Your brand is a promise When it comes to his approach to brand values, Bryan keeps it simple. He reminds us that a brand is a promise - to keep our word, show up and be helpful always.  Instead of focusing on lofty concepts and buzzwords, Bryan focuses on what keeps his business moving: Daily habits. His blue collar attitude translates perfectly into his new role as a tech Founder.  Quotes “GreenPal is a 10-year overnight success.” “If we were gonna be in the tech business, we needed to learn how to write code. We needed to literally build it ourselves. If you don't know what it's going to be, you can't outsource it. You have to build it as you're interacting with users.” “We had to pass out flyers all over Nashville Tennessee begging people to use this thing. And then we would meet with every one of them that would use it. And they would all tell us everywhere that the thing sucked. It broke and it didn't work. But they never told us we didn't need this. They were actually disappointed. And we took that as validation to keep going!” “In my Co-Founders…I was looking for two people who could live on rice and beans for a long time. We weren't unicorns, we were cockroaches. You couldn't kill us. We lived very cheaply.” “The first hundred or even thousand of your sales when you start a business should be hand-to-hand, should be manual. Then you know what processes and technology you need to build. You don't know until you hand-crank it.” “It's our job to load up the lawn care provider's schedule with as much work as he or she wants to do. Make their life easier with getting paid quickly, not having to do marketing…basically, it's a business in a box. They can make more money with less hassle, so that it makes sense for them to do business with GreenPal instead of the old way.” “We spent all this time thinking about branding…with no customers. We even designed a mascot, Gary the GreenPal. We spent like three months or longer with zero customer feedback. We wasted way too much time. We should have not worried about any of that. We should have hustled up one hundred customers first.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit GreenPal online at https://www.yourgreenpal.com/  Connect directly with Bryan Clayton on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/bryan-clayton-a96b33214   Follow Bryan on Instagram at https://instagram.com/bryanmclayton

What did he learn and what did he learn about mistakes, leadership, and culture in an organization more broadly? We also talk about questions and topics including: Where did you get the idea to outsource? When did you first start discovering that it was a mistake? Using “Lean Startup” principles? What was your Minimum Viable Product? What's your mindset on mistakes that happen in the company now? From a culture standpoint, what did you learn from the first company that you applied to the second? “You get the company culture that you deserve as a leader” “I made every mistake you could make” – felt victimized “Took me a long time to self reflect about the mistakes I made.” Do you ask for feedback from employees about the culture?

In this episode, Jeannette talks to Bryan Clayton, the CEO and cofounder of GreenPal, an app that connects property owners with local lawn care professionals. Bryan is also the founder of Peachtree Inc; one of the USA's biggest landscaping firms. He shares the story behind his two hugely successful businesses. How having a big vision, while still being able to focus on getting the vital day to day tasks done enabled him to grow fast. Bryan also talks about why entrepreneurs need to pay attention to their personal wellbeing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Think of each stage of your business as a level in a video game. Focus on conquering the challenges at that particular level. At level one of your business journey, don't worry about things like your culture and brand, focus on getting customers. You have to have a big vision. But, at the same time be prepared to knuckle down and do the necessary small scale tasks. It is not possible to keep your life in perfect balance during the early days of a new business. If your business gets a bit stuck, push on. It is a lot harder to start all over again than it is to keep going. If you think you may want to sell your business, build your company in a way that makes it as easy as possible to do. All entrepreneurs experience low points. Celebrating the small wins will help you to get through those periods. Small wins compound and soon turn into big wins. Focus on one or two things at a time. BEST MOMENTS ‘Get on YouTube University. ´ ‘I am my business, my business is me.' ‘Do fewer things that don't matter.' This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It's never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Bryan Clayton. Bryan created the “Uber of Lawncare,” GreenPal. It is a company that makes it easy to connect homeowners with lawn care professionals with the touch of a button. Bryan and his team built the company from scratch to over $20 million in revenue, serving 300,000+ customers in just a few years and their story has been featured everywhere from entrepreneur magazine to INC and Harvard Business Review. Prior to GreenPal, Bryan founded Peachtree Inc, and grew it to $10 million before it was acquired. For anyone out there who has had a good idea for a business, but didn't act on it because they weren't sure how to make it a reality or didn't have the experience needed to do it, Bryan is proof that it is absolutely possible. In fact, it is probably easier than you think. And that is why I brought Bryan on – to share how it is possible and what he learned in making GreenPal a reality. www.GreenPal.com @BryanMClayton on Instagram Bryan wants you to know that if he can do it, you can do it. He's spent 22 years as an entrepreneur in one industry, lawn care. He started a lawnmowing business in high school and continued to build it through college and then over the period of 15 years built it to over $10 million in revenue. He sold it in 2013. He took some time off and after a while started to look at what to do next. He thought there should be an app to make it easier for people find lawn care professionals. He didn't know what he didn't know and over the last 10 years has built GreenPal. Talk to us about how you did it and figure things out… Startups and entrepreneurship are less like chess and more like poker. Chess is more of a logical series of moves that lead to a result vs. a smart bet and playing risk vs. reward in poker. In the early days, they tried to outsource the coding and it failed. They had spent almost $200k getting the company going and had nothing to show for it, so they bit the bullet and decided to learn to code themselves. They went to a coding bootcamp and learned the basics which helped them create the second version. Biggest lessons from building your businesses? Startups fail, but entrepreneurs don't. As a founder, you will need to have flexible persistence going from one failure to the next without a loss of enthusiasm. Think of it like an old school video game where you have to figure how to get through one level at a time. It's the same in business. Small incremental wins add up over time to a big business. What did you do to help you grow in your business that other could use? First time founders worry about product and second time founders worry about distribution. The most important strategy is how to get people in the door. He learned quickly with GreenPal that if you build it, they will NOT come. He had to create a customer acquisition and development strategy. First, he went old school like he did in his previous business putting flyers on doors. This got them a couple hundred users. Second, you have to get out of the building and go talk to your users. Delight them. They went on a mission to meet people at coffee shops, etc. and ask them how they find lawn care services. Google search was most prevalent, so that is where they put their efforts to gain visibility. They had to learn SEO and organic search and put the bulk of their resources into it. It started to work, and signups began to grow. Talk to us about how you did your SEO and organic search strategy vs. buying ads… Google AdWords and Google Search get conflated. They are different. It is one thing to pay, another for Google to rank you as #1 organically. It is tough. There is competition everywhere. You have to build it from the bottom up. Start small. They focused on local communities and ranking #1 in those areas – the small little towns that were suburbs around the main city and eventually, they began to be ranked for the larger city itself. Launching a market is launching all the little towns around it. What did you do that got you noticed? SEO 101: On page (content). They created guides on the best lawn care services in each township. The best content possible. Technical: Page load and URL structure, key words, indexable, etc. Backlinks: Who talking about this website or page? They would reach out to local reporters of the small-town magazines and give them stories as they launched in their area. Test, then invest. You need to do it yourself before you build out the processes and teach others. How do you start a business with no money? Even with no money, you have asset and resources you can put to work. Many times, they are in your mind. As you start to get money into the business, the key is to be a good capital allocator to invest back into the business. The least you can live on, the greater your options in a startup gutting it out with no outside capital. You are your business as a founder and the business needs to come first when it comes to money. The first couple of years will be tough. Talk to us about playing the long game? Genius gets mistaken for consistency. There are very, very few overnight successes. People don't see all of the work that happened, many time for years, before the success is known. Success is a cumulation of work over years. Thoughts from your experience selling and exiting a business? It's the dream and it's hard to do well. Work a 5-year exit strategy plan. Things like EBITA growth and systems are key to selling. Read the book Built to Sell. Many times, the time business owners try to sell are when they or the business is in its worst shape. Face and fix the things you don't want to deal with. You want to sell when things are at their best and you've optimized. Sell your business when you are in love with and would hate to see it go. What should people know about the lawn and landscape industry? You can learn so much running a small service-based business in a couple years than in a year of classes. It is also a great place to get your first exit under your belt. You can start a little service business, built it up to $500k or $1 mil and sell it. At the 40 min mark, Bryan shares his message to people who think they can't do it…   Best Quote: Genius gets mistaken for consistency. There are very, very few overnight successes.   Bryan's Misfit 3: Spend less time on things that don't matter. Know when to delegate and when not to delegate. Delegate from a standpoint of stewardship. Are you going to be a fox or a hedgehog from Good to Great? The fox is flashier in style and the hedgehog just keeps it head down and works one to two things really well.
