They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Stu Gregor, the hardest thing in growing a small business is the repetition — getting up every single day and pushing forward with the same energy and focus, even when challenges make you want to crawl under the doona and give up. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Stu Gregor's favorite business book that has helped him the most is “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael Gerber. He often recommends it to people starting a business because of its timeless lessons on building systems and processes for sustainable growth. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Stu Gregor shared that he doesn't follow specific business podcasts, but he listens to Fear and Greed, a short daily business news podcast by Sean Aylmer, to stay updated on current events. He also enjoys podcasts about politics, sports, and music, using them to learn about things outside his own expertise and broaden his perspective. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Stu Gregor recommends finding an incredible business partner as the most valuable resource for growing a small business. He believes no one has all the skills needed to succeed alone, and a great partner can balance weaknesses, share the workload, and drive the business forward. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Stu Gregor would tell himself on day one to embrace the incredible journey ahead and have fun, as building a business will be one of the most exciting experiences of his life. He also advises staying fit and healthy, as the demands of entrepreneurship require energy and resilience to handle the challenges along the way.

Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The question: How do I build a Perfect Week or Perfect Day for someone who's stuck or overwhelmed? [01:00] Why This Tool Works – People don't rise to their goals. They fall to their systems. [02:00] How to Introduce It – Don't hand them a calendar. Coach the mindset first. Make it about support, not control. [03:00] The Three Foundational Blocks Prospecting (daily, preferably in the morning) Pipeline management (afternoons, not first thing) Personal development (30 minutes daily) [04:00] Example Structure of a Perfect Day 8:00 AM: Personal growth 8:30 AM: Prospecting 10:00 AM: Follow-ups and admin 1:00 PM: Pipeline work 2:30 PM: Appointments or partner outreach [06:00] Example Weekly Themes Monday: Follow-ups and weekly planning Tuesday: Realtor outreach Wednesday: Partner engagement Thursday: Prospecting blitz Friday: Content, wins, weekly recap [07:00] Coaching With the Plan – Review it weekly. Adjust based on real feedback. Turn structure into accountability. [08:00] Track Inputs, Not Just Outcomes – Calls made, follow-ups completed, scripts practiced. Focus on what they control. [09:00] When They Resist Structure – Don't push the plan. Coach the vision. Ask questions that lead to buy-in. [10:00] Final Challenge – Choose one team member. Schedule a coaching session this week. Build their rhythm together. Key Takeaways Clarity Creates Confidence – A simple structure helps overwhelmed team memberss feel in control again. Three Blocks Drive Growth – Prospecting, pipeline, and personal development are non-negotiables. Don't Just Hand Them the Plan – Introduce the rhythm with belief and co-creation. Focus on Inputs Over Outcomes – Great coaching comes from leading effort, not just results. Structure Is the Gift – It's not control. It's belief turned into a daily rhythm. You don't need to motivate your people harder. You need to equip them better. When you help someone build the right rhythm, you give them a path back to momentum.

What happens to you and your team when you're suddenly down a staff member? Many of you are knowingly dealing with this right now. And for some of you, it isn't even knowingly because someone left long before you got there and your position absorbed their work. Either way, it means you and the folks around you are most likely doing more work, often without any additional compensation. So, in honor of Labor Day, let's talk about how you can best navigate these situations, as well as the cost on you, your team, and your students when there's not enough labor to do all the expected work. When supervisors aren't being effective, teams aren't being effective. Unfortunately, most supervisors don't get the training and support they need to be successful. That's why we created the Supervisor Strengths Institute. Join us for the Fall 2025 Cohort starting on Thursday, September 25th! You'll get eight weeks of powerful online content, designed to help you better understand yourself, your talents, and how to better manage your team.

What if the only thing standing between you and your biggest, boldest dream… is the voice in your own head? There's this tug-of-war between your gut knowing and the “logical” part of yourself that insists you have to figure it all out before you leap. If you've ever felt stuck because you didn't have every last detail buttoned up, you're not alone. We live in a world that trains us to crave certainty, and that pressure can feel absolutely paralyzing. But what if the real power move, the actual leap forward, isn't about having a flawless plan? What if it's about trusting yourself enough to take that first step—even when your head says, “Not yet!” That's exactly the heart of today's episode. Karen Stahl, Owner of Moake Park Group, takes us on her journey from team member to business owner. This episode is a masterclass in courageous ownership and following your intuition—especially in the face of fear and all those “what ifs.” We dig deep on letting go of perfectionism, building trust in yourself, and recognizing that the best growth happens when you step up, even without a safety net. We're talking about a real-life, honest-to-goodness story of leadership that celebrates imperfection, vulnerability, and hard-won lessons. We're here to remind each other that growth is messy, intuition is a superpower, and that you already have more wisdom and courage inside you than you might realize.

Supporting healthy employees isn't just about offering perks—it's about creating a workplace culture where well-being translates into productivity and long-term success. Few understand this better than Cody Beard, owner of Prime IV Hydration & Wellness in Wichita. With years of leadership experience in manufacturing and a deep commitment to health, Beard brings a unique perspective on why wellness strategies should be at the core of every business. Employee well-being has evolved far beyond casual mentions in mission statements. Today, businesses face growing challenges with burnout, stress, and turnover. For Ford Saeks, business growth strategist and host of The Business Growth Show, this is more than an HR issue—it's a business performance strategy. Saeks often reminds leaders that their people are their most valuable asset, and organizations that fail to prioritize health are missing a critical growth lever. Beard's own journey underscores this truth. Before launching Prime IV, he spent years managing large teams in demanding manufacturing environments, where efficiency and engagement were constant priorities. “I was always looking for ways to keep my team safe, maintain wellness, and drive engagement,” Beard explains. Traditional measures like on-site chiropractors and massage therapists helped, but he recognized the need for something more impactful—something that went beyond words and delivered real results. That search led Beard and his wife to Prime IV Hydration & Wellness. What began as a personal commitment to better health evolved into a mission-driven business designed to help others achieve the same. Today, Beard operates two Prime IV locations in Wichita, offering hydration and vitamin therapies that support energy, focus, and recovery. For business leaders, these services represent more than a luxury—they're a practical solution for supporting healthy employees in a fast-paced world. The connection between wellness and workplace performance isn't theoretical. Organizations that invest in employee health consistently report higher retention rates, stronger engagement, and increased productivity. Beard sees this firsthand with companies that implement wellness strategies through Prime IV. “There's a difference between saying you value your employees and actually doing something about it,” he says. Providing tangible resources shows employees that their well-being truly matters, creating trust and loyalty that no policy document can match. Saeks points out another key advantage: differentiation. In an era of talent shortages, offering meaningful wellness initiatives can set businesses apart from competitors. “Healthy employees don't just work harder—they work smarter,” Saeks emphasizes. Companies that prioritize health send a clear message about their culture, which resonates with top talent and strengthens employer branding. One of Beard's most practical suggestions for companies hesitant to start is simple: take one step. That might mean inviting a wellness provider for a lunch-and-learn, or giving team members a chance to experience a service firsthand. “Send in a champion from your team,” Beard advises. “Once they experience the benefits, it becomes easy to advocate for more.” This grassroots approach often sparks the momentum needed to make wellness part of the organizational fabric. Beyond physical health, Beard sees wellness as a catalyst for engagement and morale. The experience at Prime IV is designed with this in mind. From calming environments to personalized care, every detail is aimed at helping clients feel valued and cared for—an experience that businesses can mirror within their own culture. “Our goal is to make wellness approachable and enjoyable,” Beard explains. “When people feel better, they show up better—in every aspect of life.” Supporting healthy employees isn't a passing trend. It's a long-term strategy for businesses that want to thrive in an increasingly competitive landscape. For leaders like Saeks and Beard, the message is clear: prioritize your people's health, and performance will follow. Watch the full episode on YouTube.
