Guest Carl Gould shares his work mantra: “Is this product obnoxious enough?” As Carl has discovered in his industry, being “obnoxious” holds a different connotation, meaning: “Is it high enough in value to justify the premium price?” Join his discussion with host Katie Richardson on boldly addressing industry needs that no one else will, tenants of the obnoxious offer, and how to set up your business offers to tell you where you are in a recession on this highly informative episode of What's Working Now. 3 Key TakeawaysYour job is to find the “passionate buyer” whose willing to overpay if value is attached to an offer. This means you either need to be at the highest or lowest cost; the rest is noise.Your business will tell you exactly where your industry is in a recession by offering your customers three different options of premium, freemium, and bundled. You can only grow to the level of discomfort that you can handle at the time. Your business grows with you, so embrace that discomfort.

Summary: With 'The Great Resignation' continuing and labor shortages in many industries this may be the year you ask for a raise. Employers in businesses big and small are desperate to attract, and more importantly, retain employees. Highlights: -“While this is the time to ask for a raise, in many ways the same rules apply with regard to how to go about doing it," says Business Management Expert and owner of Business Management Firm '7 Stage Advisors' in Butler, NJ Carl Gould (see short bio below). -Major chains like Chipotle and McDonald's have been fast to provide higher pay and better perks while larger companies like Bank of America have raised analyst pay by 10-thousand dollars and the salaries of associates and vice presidents by 20-thousand dollars. -Tips to ask for a raise include eliminating any fear you might have about asking, making a list of your accomplishments on the job, making an appointment with the 'decision maker' and not the person who cannot make it happen, and preparing answers to any objections in advance. Questions addressed: • Why is this the year to ask for a raise? • How can you prepare for the meeting? • Why do you have the upper hand? • What could you ask for in lieu of more money?

For the first time in decades employees have the upper hand. "If you are working, now is the time to politely up your game and make reasonable demands that will provide you a better quality of life. Chances are your company will give in," says Carl Gould business management expert and President of business management firm '7 Stage Advisors'. People risking asking for the fringe benefits they REALLY want out of their jobs is a huge trend right now, says Carl. Pre-pandemic what you would have heard he said, was that people simply wanted to be heard, wanted meaningful work, and they wanted a stimulating work environment. It was more about the overall work experience. NOW...employees have the leverage to ask for some of the monetary and non-monetary things they always wanted pre-pandemic, that they never had the guts to ask for. Because everyone learned over the last year how to work from home and they like it, if they're not getting that, they're leaving and saying oh well come and get me, says Carl. So what are some of the most mentioned perks that people now want? Number ONE by a long stretch and there's no close second said Carl, is flexibility in schedule. Things like, "Can I work from home a couple days a week?" "Can I come in a little bit later so I can drop the kids off at the bus?" The generation dominating the work space right now want the whole package. It's a work to live mentality, not live to work. Carl adds, but don't think this generation is lazy. When you hear about this great resignation, a big reason people are leaving jobs is that they don't want to give up their gig projects which they can't do if they're commuting and/or working in an office every day. What we see says Carl, is people cancelling and leaving their jobs because they don't want to give up their side hustle. Instead they're looking for a primary job that gives them their flexibility to do their side hustle and make more money That's the new form of workaholic. In fact, 58 Million people last year said that they did a part time project as a side hustle. So how are the 'employers' reacting to the requests for "I want!" "I need!" "I must have!" ? Carl says, the 'employer' has always been open to flexibility which is the part the employee doesn't understand. Employees are quitting rather than ‘asking'. They need to ask for the fringe benefits they desire. Employers are impressed says Carl, when somebody comes to them and says I really like your company, here's what I can contribute and also here are some of the constraints I have in my life . For example; "Because of the pandemic I am taking care of a loved one at home" or "I don't have a car right now" or, "We have young kids at home." Carl suggests employees try asking things like "Could I come early these days ?" "Can I work from home on certain days?" "Could tuition reimbursement be built into to my package?" Employers are much more flexible than people realize and timing is great right now for people who are working or looking for new work to politely up their game and make reasonable demands for quality of life. Do you do this in writing ? In person? A little bit of both says Carl. Write down all things you want to bring up so you don't forget in the moment, and first have a conversation with the employer. Some suggested language from Carl? "I really love what your company is doing and I'd love to come on board but there are a few situations in my life that I'm managing so is there any way I can manage both? Lay out your thoughts as questions. Can we work this out? Would you consider ? etc etc. Carl Gould, 7 Stage Advisors, has helped over 5000 growth minded companies who were ready for the white knuckle ride. They offer a full on 2 hour no fee consultation and present 5 ways to grow your company. No obligation. Carl says, we sell nothing until people insist on paying.

Read full transcript: Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You know, so if there's a gig economy back then like right now we have the emergence of the social media manager or jobs that didn't exist before well you try to tell somebody you're a coach back then they were like “what, what your talking about?” you can do that, like if got them to stop laughing long enough what I was talking about, I can explain what did you--what the job in row was about, I love it. So, fast forward to like 1996, I hire the coach for my business and if there were hashtags back then I would--the hashtag would been hang up the hammer, cause my business was running me more than I was running it and so that's our goal, I work for them for 5 years, we position the second company for sale, I sell that and so in 2002 I started the business that I have today which is called 7 Stage Advisors and we're a growth advisory company that works for small to mid market firms and shows them how to differentiate, how to grow, how to scale their business you know regardless of where they're from or what they do.

More than 4-million workers quit in August - the most on record since December 2000. "This shows two things.

In the past year, open jobs have increased 62 percent.

"Connecticut Today" with Paul Pacelli took a glimpse at the present and the future. First, Paul spoke to former Meriden GOP State Sen. Len Suzio talks about the controversial "Transportation Climate Initiative,” which includes a provision that some say could eventually affect the total amount of gasoline available to state drivers (0:41). Paul also had Carl Gould on from "7 Stage Advisors" to chat about how business owners can handle the delicate dance of identifying who is vaccinated and who is not - without alienating customers - ahead of the state of Connecticut’s peeling back of the mask mandate (12:42).

Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Carl Gould. Carl Gould is a worldwide leading authority on business and entrepreneurship. He is an entrepreneur who built three multi-million-dollar businesses by age 40. His company, 7 Stage Advisors, has mentored the launch of over five thousand businesses. Some of the companies he’s helped are companies like Allstate, American Idol, USA Olympic Track, IBM, McGraw-Hill and the US Army. Carl created the farthest-reaching business mentoring organization in the world, and his methodologies are in practice in 35 countries. He has trained, certified or accredited over 7,000 Business Coaches and Mentors since 2002. He has also written multiple books on the subject of business strategy, leadership and sustainable growth. He co-authored “Blueprint for Success” with Stephen R. Covey and Ken Blanchard; and his best-selling book, “The 7 Stages of Small Business Success”, lays out the formula for HyperGrowth. Needless to say, Carl is a wealth of entrepreneurial wisdom and I’m going to do my best to get everything I can out of him in our time together. www.CarlGould.com www.7StageAdvisors.com Free business analysis to show the true potential of your business – can get it on the site. Carl’s journey started in college. He was an accounting and finance student. He broke his leg pretty badly in his second year and had to leave school. He found himself with a broken leg that took 6 months to get better, broke, and needing to make money. He started a design/build landscape company and doubled it every year for 7 years then sold. Then in the early 90’s, he started a construction company and grew it to 2004. He started coaching in 1990 after going through certifications. It was his side hustle in the 90’s. He then started his coaching/strategy business in the early 2000’s. His passion is coaching and guiding small business owners. He still invests in other companies, real estate, etc. What is the one thing you think matters most for success as an entrepreneur? Absolute 100% dogged determination. Among all the traits of entrepreneurs, resilience and determination are most critical. Adversity is always there, and the key is to keep getting back up and doubling down on yourself, your business, and you clients. If you keep showing your commitment that you will serve no matter what, you will see it through. At the 8:30 mark, Carl shares his view on the short attention spans we have and how he sees it in context of success… The level of content has gotten so good that people are better educated consumers. People don’t cancel what they love, they cancel what stinks and is boring. They can see through it. It’s exciting because you have to be so on your game, but are rewarded, almost unfairly when you are. People are hungry for greatness. Take us through the 7 Stages of Growth and Business Success… Carl developed this in the 90’s. It is model that has been validated over the years. Stage 1: Strategic Planning Stage. You need to have a compelling and inspiring vision and plan for the business. Stage 2: Specialty Stage. This is where you build your expert authority in your niche. Stage 3: Synergy Stage. This is where you build a team that is aligned with mission, vision, values, and purpose. Stage 4: Systems Stage. Document and build out the ecosystem to scale the business. Stage 5: Sustainability. You are starting to be known for something other than the utility of your product or service. Stage 6: Saleability. You maximize the value of your business and it is now an asset. There is also where you are mature and doing things like buying other companies or going public, etc. Stage 7: Succession. This is when a legacy business is born and is lasting. Sequence matters. You have to go through each stage and maximize it before going to the next one. How does and entrepreneur execute in each stage? It is like going through the years of school. You have to fully immerse yourself in each stage. You have maximized stage 1 if you can answer the question, “What is so compelling about my business that my customers would be willing to leave from where they buy from now and buy from me and pay a premium? Would my competitors’ employees be willing to come work for me and earn less? In stage 2, you know you an expert when someone reaches out to you unsolicited and asks you for advice on your niche that is in the same industry. In stage 3, you know you have maximized if people are fully bought into your vision and do whatever it takes to help the business successful. In stage 4, you make the internal commitment to systematize every area of your business and have “your company way.” Once, it is fully documented and mapped out, you’ve done. In stage 5, you’re like a franchise and can expand and duplicated what you’ve done. In stage 6, you are building your management team to run the business instead of just you, the owner. In stage 7, when you can fire yourself and the next generation can take over, you’ve done it. What are some of the biggest traps entrepreneurs fall into and how do we avoid them? Stage 1 planning is typically inadequate. Entrepreneurs fall in love with their product instead of falling in love with their client. They should focus on the client first. Pricing is also a trap/mistake entrepreneurs make. You need to charge what your value is. Don’t get people to “just pay for your service.” You need to be a premium because you are bringing tremendous value – where you need to be good is at articulating the value. Best advice for building rapport and influences? What are some of the best practices? The basis of any relationship is your ability to build rapport. There is a science of how we build, maintain, and nurture rapport. First, know your client by knowing behavior and personality styles (DISC, etc.) Rapport is the relationship of sameness, likeness, and commonality and it is an involuntary response – getting someone to like you. How we do anything is how we do everything – remember that. People have tendencies and are creatures of habits. Your ability to align with people’s tendencies and habits helps you build rapport. Thoughts on leadership and how to be a successful leader? You need to be willing to do whatever you’re asking of someone, or have done it. You need to be willing to let someone else take the lead. You can be a leader from the front or the back (you can go first paving the way, or go last letting everyone else get the credit) You walk the talk without the talk. Do it and demonstrate the principles you want followed. Anything else we should know? Outsourcing and building remote teams is a very important skill to learn. Your ability to “staff to valleys and are prepared for the peaks with variable costs.” This may be having contractors ready during peak times and not using them during slow times to help you manage the business better. The best way to remain nimble is to be good at expanding and contracting the business as needed to maximize your business. Best Quote: Hustle. You can hustle your way to success. 96% of entrepreneurs never make it to $1 million in revenue. You absolutely can hustle to more than that. Misfit 3: Hustle. You can hustle your way to success. 96% of entrepreneurs never make it to $1 million in revenue. You absolutely can hustle to more than that. There is less competition for the #1 slot in your niche. Go for #1. There is the least amount of competition to the be the best. Your clients will see this and love you for it. I hereby decree, I hereby promise that I will not discount my way to market share. I will charge accordingly for my value.

David Horne is one of the most experienced people in the world when it comes to raising debt funding for businesses, having raised over £100 million through equity funding. David joins Gavin today to discuss the many government’s support packages for businesses, how they’re working for companies in need, the benefits and downsides of each, and what they can mean for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have rateable business premises, and you get a business rates assessment, so long as your rateable value is less than £15k and you’re eligible for rates relief, then you will get a £10k grant from your local authority. On CIBIL loans of up to £250,000, banks can no longer ask for personal guarantees as security, as per the Chancellor’s ruling, allowing more businesses to access funding. Take It to The Bank is a service created by David and a team, to help you assemble a pitch-deck that’ll give your credit application a much better chance of success. Remember to humanise your application as much as possible. Even comments sections are a great opportunity for you to explain the potential of the business or idea you’ve created. Time to Pay is a service that HMRC have always used in order to give companies more time when it comes to demands. You will need a convincing argument, but it can be a useful last resort. BEST MOMENTS ’For most businesses two hundred and fifty grand will help get them through’ ‘Anyone who can come through the other side of this with a good set of suppliers and customers, their core business should still be the same' ‘Remember that you’re dealing with a human being’ ‘We shouldn’t punish people for following the law’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast David Horne LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-b-horne/?originalSubdomain=uk CIBIL Scorecard - www.cbils-scorecard.co.uk www.addthenmultiply.com Get your free copy of Gavin Preston’s invaluable guide now - 'Keep Your Boat Afloat: Business Survival Guide For COVID-19 Times' at: Bit.ly/keepyourboatafloat To contact Gavin about how he can help you and your business, email gavin@gavinpreston.com ABOUT THE GUEST Carl Gould Carl Gould is a worldwide leading authority on business and entrepreneurship.

Carl Gould is an expert in business growth, having grown and scaled multiple business, before transitioning into becoming a coach, and encouraging others to follow his lead. In this week’s edition of the show, Carl and Gavin hold a thought-provoking discussion on why it’s important to zero in on the customers who desperately need your help, the actions and strategies that can help your business through this economic winter, and why building a community now is more important than ever. KEY TAKEAWAYS The economic seasons are a generational phenomenon, and have played out in the same way throughout history. When we reach a certain time in our levels, our spending and saving priorities change. Every business needs to have an up-sideways-down strategy, meaning that expansion follows market positivity, and contraction follows economic shrinkage. It times of economic winter, the number one strategy to combat uncertainty among humanity, is to seek safety in numbers. This is why we’ve seen such an explosion of groups in the past weeks. The value of a membership system cannot be overstated at this time. Those who feel as though they have special access to a service unreachable by others, often feel a greater sense of security and belonging. During times of uncertainty, customers always value the experts more. People become far more selective and discerning, and so will gravitate towards those they respect and trust. BEST MOMENTS ’We wanted to own stuff. Millennials don’t want to own stuff, they just want access to things’ ‘A world conflict galvanises people’ ’Winter is a wonderful time if you’re ready for it’ ‘If you’re under lockdown, then take advantage of this time to regroup and recalibrate' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast Carl Gould - https://carlgould.com Carl Gould Twitter - https://twitter.com/carlgould Carl Gould LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlgould/ Carl Gould Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thecarlgould/ Get your free copy of Gavin Preston’s invaluable guide now - 'Keep Your Boat Afloat: Business Survival Guide For COVID-19 Times' at: Bit.ly/keepyourboatafloat To contact Gavin about how he can help you and your business, email gavin@gavinpreston.com ABOUT THE GUEST Carl Gould Carl Gould is a worldwide leading authority on business and entrepreneurship.

Serial entrepreneur Carl Gould, the founder of 7 Stage Advisors and the 7 Stage Growth Academy, joins Talking Business Now host Kelly Scanlon to share five key business lessons he's learned on his entrepreneurial journey. By the age of 40, Gould had built three multimillion dollar companies. He started his first—a landscaping business—while he was still in college and working at UPS.

After building and selling various multimillion-dollar organizations, Carl Gould’s 7 Stage Advisors has mentored some of the fastest-growing companies like Walgreens, Walmart, American Idol, IBM, and more. Carl is an international speaker, CEO, entrepreneur, author, & advisor, and we had the opportunity to get him in our WHOA GNV Studio. Being our first guest outside of Gainesville, Michael and I were able to get his perspective of the city and hear his awesome story. Fun fact: To spend a day with Carl Gould and get his expertise would cost you $20,000, so we were grateful to get an hour of his time on our podcast! 6:29 Tell us how you got to where you are today. 12:54 You want to be who you are and sell it big! 19:59 Find what your differentiators are, promote what those are, and you pick fights. 20:02 How did you get the opportunity to work with Inc. 500 fastest growing companies? 28:18 I’m not tied to the result and how we get there, I just want to make sure you get there. 30:50 People aren't always hiring a coach because they want an expert. 36:08 I’ve looked to various sources and found my inspiration one slice at a time. 40:54 I like to listen to people who have a distinctly original take on things. 42:01 Everyone is so different that I find it almost impossible to see competition. 46:00 Understand what a “goal” actually is. 56:22 What’s success for you - do you feel like you’ve made it? 1:00:03 I made a deal with myself - I’m never going to work again that I don’t love. 1:08:12 Every two weeks I block out time. 1:13:45 You want to become better than the problems you’re facing.
