How do you take six distinct fast-casual brands and scale them under a single, efficient operational umbrella? In this episode, we sit down with Lauriena Borstein, Chief Operating Officer, and Kyle Mark, Chief Information Officer of WOWorks—the restaurant group behind Saladworks, Frutta Bowls, and Garbanzo, among others.They share the "One WOW Way," their philosophy for unifying operations, technology, and communication across their entire portfolio. Lauriena details how creating repeatable systems while maintaining flexibility is the key to scaling, and why franchisee profitability is their non-negotiable north star metric. Kyle explains the monumental task of consolidating disparate systems into a single tech stack and how proving the ROI—like a 30-35% increase in digital sales—is crucial for getting franchisee buy-in. This conversation is a masterclass in managing growth, the c between operations and technology, and why a strong culture is built on communication.Key takeawaysBuilding repeatable systems. Scaling any brand requires creating consistent, repeatable systems with flexibility for local execution.The "one WOW way" is A core philosophy for shared services like tech and supply chain, which creates efficiency across a multi-brand portfolio.Franchisee profitability is #1. Franchisee profitability is the primary metric for success, as no initiative is scalable if it isn't profitable.Unify your tech stack for growth. A single tech stack (POS, online ordering, loyalty) simplifies operations, reduces training, and unifies data analysis.Communicate, communicate, communicate. Build a strong culture with a consistent communication cadence, ensuring franchisees hear a unified message from all leadership.Don't be afraid to fail fast. Growth-minded operators must try new things and be willing to fail fast, dropping what doesn't work to move on quickly.ResourcesLearn more about WOWorks and their family of brands: Connect with the guests on LinkedIn:Kyle MarkLauriena BorsteinSend us a text
Farley breaks down how small business owners can build a healthy, high‑trust community, online, at networking events, and in local meetups. Without letting cliques take root. She explains why cliques quietly damage growth, how to design inclusive spaces, and practical ways to turn community into collaborative momentum.What you'll learnWhy cliques hurt growth: How gatekeeping erodes trust, diversity of ideas, and referrals.Signals of a healthy community: Clear norms, rotating voices, and visible on‑ramps for newcomers.Inclusive design tactics: Simple structures that make participation easy online and in person.Collaboration systems: Repeatable practices that turn connections into shared wins.How to course‑correct: What to do when exclusion shows up.Key topics and takeawaysDefine the purpose: A community exists to create value for members, not to be a social club. Write a one‑sentence purpose and share it everywhere.Set clear norms: Publish simple guidelines (welcome newcomers, no hard selling, credit collaborators, disagree respectfully). Refer to them consistently.Design for inclusion:Online: pinned intros thread, monthly “ask/give” post, themed discussion days.In person: name badges with “ask” and “offer,” mix‑and‑match small groups, facilitator-led rotations.Support the show

Are you the bottleneck in your own business? Many entrepreneurs wear every hat—CEO, sales, R&D, even accounts receivable—yet still feel stuck. Cary Prejean, founder of Strategic Business Advisors and author of three books, has spent 40 years helping business owners shift from operator to visionary leader. In this episode, we explore why entrepreneurs don't need to become great managers—and why trying to do so can hold them back. Instead, Cary shows how to build processes that keep the business running without you, freeing you to focus on vision, growth, and impact. We break down the opposite skill sets of entrepreneurs and managers—why one thrives on vision, speed, and risk, while the other thrives on stability, patience, and process. Cary explains how to use the language of leadership to engage your team, enroll them in your mission, and empower them to take ownership. It's about letting go without losing control, and creating repeatable, scalable systems that make you irrelevant to daily operations—in the best possible way. Cary shares practical ways to get the attention of distracted, fast-moving entrepreneurs, starting with the right questions. He reveals how to uncover hidden bottlenecks, fix chronic operational headaches, and stop training your team to rely on you for every decision. We also discuss the parallels between leading people and prompting AI—clear direction, desired outcomes, and the freedom to innovate. From his roots in accounting to his evolution as a leadership advisor, Cary's journey offers a blueprint for sustainable growth. We talk about his upcoming books—one on common business-killing mistakes, and another on the lost art of relating—and how improving communication can transform not only your business but your relationships. If your business can't run without you for more than a day, this conversation could be your turning point. Three Key Takeaways: • Entrepreneurs shouldn't try to become great managers — The skill sets are fundamentally different. Instead of forcing yourself into a management mold, focus on evolving into a visionary leader who sets direction, inspires others, and empowers the team to execute. • Build processes that run the business without you — Repeatable, scalable systems free you from daily firefighting. When your team owns the process and delivers consistent results, you can step away from the weeds and focus on growth and innovation. • Empower and engage your team through clear vision and communication — Enroll employees in your mission, give them ownership of solutions, and resist micromanaging. Leadership is about prompting for outcomes, not dictating every step—just like using AI effectively. If Cary's episode got you thinking about how to stop being the bottleneck in your own business, Jonathan Raveh's conversation is your perfect next step. Both episodes tackle the same core challenge—how to move from doing it all yourself to building systems and empowering others. Cary shows you how to evolve from operator to visionary leader, while Jonathan dives deep into scaling thought leadership so your ideas can live and grow beyond you. Listen to Jonathan's episode to see how you can turn your vision into a shared organizational capability, equip your team to contribute their voices, and create thought leadership that scales—without burning you out. Pair these two episodes and you'll have a roadmap for scaling both your business and your ideas.

#82: [Inside the Mind] Steven Yellin: Get Out of Swing Prison and Stop Violating the Rule Bank for an Effective, Repeatable Swing In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor and one of the leading voices in understanding the neuroscience of performance in golf. Together, we dive deep into the mind-body connection, the neurophysiological conditions required for a fluid golf swing, and why most golfers unknowingly sabotage their own performance—especially when it matters most. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why your prefrontal cortex (the CEO of your brain) needs to go offline during the swing What it really means to have a quiet mind before pulling the trigger How to check your “threshold of wholeness” with a simple shoulder test The truth about consistency and how to stop recreating what you already own What the “rules of the bank” are—and how violating them leads to inconsistent performance How to train like a pro by focusing on quality of space, not quantity of reps How the depth of your thoughts determines access to the body's deepest intelligence Whether you're an elite amateur or a weekend warrior, this episode will radically reshape how you think about practice, performance, and pressure. Steven's insights are a masterclass in mastering the mind-body connection and unlocking the swing you already have—on command. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Steven Steve Yellin is a renowned golf instructor, author, and the creator of the Fluid Motion Factor, a revolutionary approach to optimizing performance in golf and other sports. With a background in both competitive golf and deep studies into the mechanics of peak performance, Yellin's work bridges the gap between technical training and the ability to access one's best swing under pressure. His Fluid Motion Factor system has helped elite golfers, including PGA and LPGA Tour players, unlock their natural ability by eliminating interference in their mind-body connection. Instead of relying on mechanical swing thoughts, Yellin teaches golfers how to tap into a fluid state of motion, leading to greater consistency and confidence on the course.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: The quality of the space before the swing determines the quality of the swing. You're not broken—you're just violating the rules of the bank. Wholeness is a threshold state of mind where motion flows without interference. You don't need new swing thoughts—you need a new relationship with the ones you already have. Practicing the swing isn't as powerful as practicing access to your best swings. Key Quotes: You're not recreating the swing—you're trying to access what you already own. When the prefrontal cortex goes offline, the swing goes online. Do less. The most powerful message I can give any golfer. It's not what you're thinking. It's how you're thinking it. Fear is the killer in a golf swing.

This investor is making $100,000 per year with small, affordable, repeatable rental properties. He started investing years ago but recently bought another home-run rental for just $87,000, which will continue to boost his passive income. His slow, steady “tortoise” approach is one that anyone (especially beginners) can use in 2025 to build wealth and massive passive income through rental property investing. How do you do it? He's sharing his blueprint. Nathan Nicholson woke up one day in his 30s to realize that his bank account had only $32,000 in it. While by no means is $32,000 a small sum, as a top producer in the mortgage business, he expected to have much more—something needed to change. After watching clients close (and make it rich) on rentals, he decided to give it a shot. But instead of going for the biggest house his money could buy, he opted for a small, affordable property where less could go wrong. It was a good move and one worth repeating. Fast forward over a decade later, Nathan has 22 properties, 10 of which are paid off, with six-figure cash flow coming in every year. He scaled smart (and safely) using his “tortoise approach” to investing—an approach you can use, too! In This Episode We Cover Why buying small (less than 1,000 square feet!) rentals is a smart move for beginners Taking the “tortoise approach” to wealth so you safely get to early retirement Cashing out your 401(k) for rentals? Why Nathan says it's worth it One quick calculation (that beats the 1% rule) every investor should use Why Nathan is buying even more as price cuts hit many major housing markets And So Much More!

A lot of business owners falsely believe the purpose of a customer is to get a sale. When in reality, the purpose of a SALE is to get a CUSTOMER. In other words, your goal isn't to abandon a customer once they've given you money. You want to give that person a reason to come back again and again for your products (instead of your competitors'). Bill Glazer teaches from stage how ANY business can earn repeatable income, and not just through continuity programs! If the idea of reducing ad spend, increasing customer value and/or minimizing the amount of time spent selling to/acquiring new customers sounds appealing, then this episode is meant for you.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with business systems expert Marianne Page, a former McDonald's executive with nearly 30 years of experience. Together, they dive into how entrepreneurs can reduce overwhelm by creating simple, logical, and repeatable systems—without stifling creativity. From her time at McDonald's to mentoring small businesses globally, Marianne shares how to make operations effortless and effective. If you're tired of running your business in chaos, this episode is your blueprint to clarity, consistency, and calm. About the Guest:Marianne Page is the founder of a global consultancy helping business owners systemize operations for sustainable growth. Drawing from 27 years at McDonald's—an icon of operational excellence—Marianne teaches how to design “sticky systems” that empower teams, free up the founder's time, and build scalable businesses. She's the author of Simple, Logical, Repeatable, Process to Profit, and Mission to Manage. Key Takeaways: Systemization isn't about rigidity—it creates freedom and reduces stress. Replace “processes” with your way of doing things for better team buy-in. Start small: capture daily routines, then build “how-to” videos or guides. Sticky systems (hiring, training, feedback) make everything actually stick. Letting go of control is essential for growth, sustainability, and mental clarity.

Today's guest makes $60,000 per MONTH the old-fashioned real estate investing way. He buys rentals you can find on any real estate listing site, uses his own money to invest, doesn't need “creative financing” techniques to fund the deal, and treats his tenants well. This is a real estate portfolio anyone can repeat, and it has made Welby Accely a multimillionaire in just over a decade, even after he lost everything (three times!). In a time when every real estate guru is trying to get you into the lowest-money-down deal with the most risk and the shallowest margins, Welby takes it the whole other direction. His simple offer “formula” allows him to buy properties under market value, fix them up, get them rented, and refinance out to create an “infinite return.” Basically the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) strategy, but EVEN safer. How does he find rentals that are (almost) always worth more than what he pays for them? Welby says, “Every deal is a flip,” meaning if you buy rentals like a flipper would, your profit margins massively multiply, and you reap huge financial benefits. Welby is a REAL real estate investor, giving you a real strategy you can use in 2025, even with high interest rates. The question is, will you take advantage of it like Welby did? In This Episode We Cover Welby's unbeatable “offer formula” to get discounted real estate deals with HUGE equity upside Why Welby believes every investment is a “flip” and how it's made him millions How to find real estate deals ON-MARKET by simply browsing listing sites and activating notifications Why Welby always puts more money down on his properties (and it pays him back BIG time) What you can offer (that isn't money) to get a seller to accept your bid And So Much More! (00:00) Intro (01:32) NEVER Buy “Cheap” Real Estate (03:54) Every Investment is a “Flip” (06:13) ONLY Buy These Properties (09:32) How to Find On-Market Deals (15:29) The Easy Offer Formula (18:02) Put MORE Money Down (23:21) $4,300/Month Cash Flow (ONE Property) (27:55) Offer More Than Money (32:02) Follow Welby's Formula!

One of the most repeatable, scalable ways to build a real estate portfolio is using “The Stack” method. This investing strategy allows you to slowly scale your real estate using low-money-down loans, turning one down payment into multiple properties. It's one of the smartest, safest ways to build wealth, but it's almost been forgotten. Today, we're talking to an investor reviving “The Stack,” using it to build an eight-rental real estate portfolio starting with just $15,000. Like most investors, Connor Anderson had barely enough money to close on his first house, a condo. He scrounged together just $15,000 to buy his first property and immediately began to rent out the other rooms. But this was just the beginning for Connor. Over the next few years, Connor slowly turned the rent savings from that one condo into a single-family house, a duplex, and now a fourplex, which he is still house hacking in. The best part? Those properties he used to live in are now cash-flowing rentals WITH equity, which he has used to buy more properties. This is “The Stack” method done the right way, and if you want to safely, slowly, and steadily grow your rental portfolio without a ton of money, this is how to do it. In This Episode We Cover: “The Stack” method and how to use it to build a rental portfolio with little money Why you DON'T need to rush building a real estate portfolio to be successful One investing area that both Connor and Dave are very bullish on How Connor scored a zero-dollar-down, off-market duplex Interest rate buydowns and other strategies to create cash flow in 2025 And So Much More!

The Ninja Coaching "40 Real Estate Review Challenge" and Lori's Exceeding of that Goal Overcoming Fear and Embracing Real Estate Reviews: Lori's Mindset Shift The Power of Mailed Real Estate Reviews vs. Email: Why Paper Makes a Difference Lori's Simple Follow-Up System: Texting for Feedback and Engagement Turning Real Estate Reviews into a Repeatable and Manageable System Building Raving Fans Through Client Events: The Legendary Easter Egg Hunt Creating Meaningful Touchpoints at Events: Popcorn Machines and Ticket Strategies Mixing Up Events: Taco Trucks, Movie Nights, and More Creative Ideas The Value of Ninja Coaching: Accountability, Strategic Ideas, and Encouragement Why Lori is a Coachable Client and the Keys to Coaching Success The Importance of Gratitude in Business and Life Key Takeaways: “I had been to Ninja Installations and I had been through all of the training… but I would get to the point of printing them off and then go to call them to set up the appointment, and that's where I'd stumble. And it was literally just fear of making the next step to calling.” “I just ripped off the band aid and did four with people I knew would love it no matter what it was… it wasn't that hard.” “Consistency over time yields results. And real estate reviews are not a quick fix… but you're planting seeds and you're bringing value to your people, and that's the key.” “We send out invitations to the Easter egg hunt. We'll put it on social media for the neighbors that are not my A clients. We'll text the A plus clients to make sure they're. They've got the invitation.” “I usually stand by the popcorn machine because everybody can come up and get as much popcorn as they want, but it's lit there, so I can see their faces a little bit better. Then we can carry on full conversations.” “Having [Lisa] consistently there with me, knowing I could count on her to not be judgmental at all, that I hadn't done anything for weeks, but to be able to be encouraging and understanding, that was super helpful.” “Lori is coachable. She is open to being accountable to learning to really digging in and figuring things out. And she's open to creativity and like she said, strategic ideas.” Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email: TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group Ninja Coaching Book Study Ninja Mastery Ninja Selling by Larry Kendall Ninja Sailing
“Great things are done by a series of small things done together” – Vincent van Gogh. In other words, we must create a system of small tasks and habits and string them together to achieve sustainable results quickly. What sales system do you use, if you have one at all? I just had a conversation with someone about sales from a mindset perspective. No judgment: salespeople face an inner game, and our mindset or inner dialog can be a catalyst or a log jam for sales success. So, in addition to mindset, all salespeople need to create a tangible, duplicatable sales system that can be taught and repeated so we can better predict sales results, our return on time, and money spent on sales activities.

How does a teacher with a LOW salary achieve financial freedom, let alone invest in real estate? Surprisingly, it's not as hard as you think, and if you repeat the strategy from today's show, you could reach financial freedom much sooner than you'd planned. In this episode, we're talking to Corby Goade, who, not too long ago, was a teacher making just $17,000 per year at the start of his career. So, how did he begin building wealth and replace his AND his wife's income? After fixing up an outdated house he bought after college, Corby was shocked by how much equity he had made. With some basic painting, new flooring, and simple upgrades, Corby made twice as much in equity as he did teaching. From there, a rinse-and-repeat-type strategy formed as Corby slowly began buying rental properties whenever he could, even with his tiny teacher's salary. Fast forward to today, and Corby and his wife are financially free, running multiple businesses and living life on their terms. They still own that first rental, even though Corby did “everything wrong” (his words), and his first tenant almost destroyed the property. Still an active investor, Corby says that deals just like his first one are on the market NOW, even in 2024. He shares his exact buy box you can use TODAY to find properties like this, walk into equity, and achieve financial freedom just like he did. In This Episode We Cover: The repeatable real estate investing strategy beginners can use to build wealth fast Why house hacking is the easiest way to invest in real estate and start making/saving money Why you can still reach financial freedom, even if you do EVERYTHING wrong on your first rentals The exact buy box Corby uses today to find undervalued real estate deals (even in an expensive market) Corby's best advice to get real estate deals sent straight to your inbox And So Much More!
