Warren Coughlin - Being Committed to Solving the Problem, Not Who is Right or Wrong

“A high performance culture is where there's a reciprocation of expectations. Where, yes, you're going to provide a great place where people can grow and have great relationships and do quality work, but in exchange for that, there's a high expectation that they're going to perform at a high level,” explains Warren Coughlin, serial entrepreneur and business coach. Since 2002 Warren has been working to deliver value and make an impact on entrepreneurs who are helping make the world a better place. Today, he joins host Tiffany Zehara to talk about common mistakes entrepreneurs make, the importance of sticking to your foundational values, and how to really commit to solving a problem instead of worrying about who is right or wrong.  Many entrepreneurs are so driven by the desire to do good in their communities that they think motivation and good intentions are all they need to get people on board. However, there are many things beyond motivation and passion to consider when starting a business. Some of the major common mistakes entrepreneurs make are not learning skills like cash flow management, not actually applying the skills they do learn, and not understanding how to create a high performance culture. A high performance culture is not the same as just being a nice place to work, everything and everyone within your business must be aligned with similar values and performing at a high level in order to achieve maximum success.  Entrepreneurship is an incredible way to impact positive change in your community and the world. These are the people who are working hard to solve problems and move society forward, but they cannot do it alone. In order to really excel, it is important to put together a strong business plan, have a solid understanding of cash management, and to hire the right people whose values are in alignment with those of your company. Tune into today's episode of Humanitarian Entrepreneur Podcast for a talk with special guest Warren Coughlin to learn more about common mistakes entrepreneurs make and how you can really commit to solving a problem without getting hung up on who was right or wrong.  Quotes “Whether you're a nonprofit or for profit, learning your numbers is a foundational skill, and if you don't learn that, you're going to have surprises that bite you on the backside.” (6:45-6:54 | Warren)  “One of the major disciplines and skills that separates really the greats from the struggling is the ability to focus.” (7:48-7:56 | Warren)  “A high performance culture is where there's a reciprocation of expectations. Where, yes, you're going to provide a great place where people can grow and have great relationships and do quality work, but in exchange for that, there's a high expectation that they're going to perform at a high level.” (10:13-10:30 | Warren) “When you say, if our values are well chosen, then they should produce great results. Therefore, I start with the assumption that if something went wrong, we were off our values. Now, let's dig into that, and then let's have a conversation about our collective responsibility to maintain those values and what it would have looked like had we lived them in this circumstance. Those conversations can be uncomfortable, but over time, they are so powerful, and so transformative.” (12:04-12:35 | Warren)  “You have to hire and fire based on values, and that can be hard, because sometimes you'll have somebody who's a good performer, but is a cultural disaster. And so you either have to get that person aligned with the culture or move them off.” (12:56-13:09 | Warren)   Connect with Warren Coughlin: Website: https://warrencoughlin.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/warrencoughlin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abusinessthatmatters Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/warren.coughlin/   To connect with Tiffany to solve problems or affect the kind of change you want: https://calendly.com/humanitarianentrepreneur/discovery-call Website:  https://humanitarian-entrepreneur.com  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

When taking over a new business, new CEOs often speak of operational “low hanging fruit”, so I wanted to ask this same question to 4 different CEOs to learn more about just what this low hanging fruit is. Each CEO that I'll be speaking with today is at a different stage of their journey: Betsy, who I'll begin the episode with, is still in her first year in the CEO seat. Sheret, our next leader, has been CEO of his company for ~2 years. Robin Kovitz has been leading her company for ~8 years, and finally Adrian, our final CEO, ran his company for ~7 years before a successful exit to a strategic acquiror in 2019. Does growth and success tend to result from a large number of seemingly small changes, or a small number or larger changes? That's what we'll endeavor to answer today, informed by 4 CEOs at very different stages of their respective journeys.

This combination of uncertainty and inexperience often creates undue stress for CEOs, and can create situations in which they are more focused on impressing their Boards than they are on leaning on them for support, guidance, and mentorship. Over many years as a CEO reporting directly into a Board (and now as an investor who sits on Boards and works directly with CEOs myself), I've come to learn a few things about how to construct, manage, communicate with, and learn from this critically important group of people. This episode is my best attempt at sharing these lessons with you.

But not all software investment theses are created equally: There are indeed several different approaches to acquiring and building a software company, and each approach presents a different investment thesis, requires different operational and value creation strategies, and is likely to command different asking prices.

But to do the big fat 40-page business plan they have to submit to a bank, that's largely a useless exercise. It's a lot of excessive effort." - Warren Coughlin "I think it's good to have a vision for where you want to go and have some long term objectives, but you plan within a one year cycle." - Warren Coughlin "Strategy is nothing more than the answer to the question, 'How do I deploy my scarce resources – time, team, and money to achieve an objective?' That's it. If you have an objective, and you only have those three resources, time, team, or money, that's it, that's all you have to play with, and so you've got to figure out how am I going to move them on the board to achieve what it is I want to achieve?" - Warren Coughlin "You got to look at your business from a risk mitigation standpoint. What's the drop in value or raising interest rates that I can absorb and not be subject to an existential risk? And when you get close to that, then you have to slow down your acquisitions, or you've got to change your cost structure a little bit to make sure that you're covered. And then to make sure that you've got good cash flow." - Warren Coughlin "A mentor of mine, he likes to use the metaphor of seasons. In business, there are always seasons. There's spring, summer, fall, and winter. And there's always going to be a winter. And if you're not prepared for winter, you're gonna get cold." - Warren Coughlin "A business that matters is one that provides a really great lifestyle for the entrepreneur and his or her family while having a positive impact in the world, whether it's just some small corner of it, or a larger environment." - Warren Coughlin "Get really clear on why you're doing what you do. It doesn't have to be grand and noble, but you should have a reason for doing it that's beyond just money." - Warren Coughlin Additional resource: Get our how-to guide and get noticed: https://reibranded.com/linkedin/ *This episode has been brought to you in part by Bluehost web hosting.

My first executive marketing role wasn't about marketing! At the age of 27, I was chosen to become the first Customer Service Manager and a board member. No one in that water systems company understood what I was going to do—and who needed a customer service manager when professional technicians went to fix whatever was needed when a customer complained? To tell you the truth, I didn't know exactly what this job meant, either. All I knew was that it was a strategic decision; the sales department said that the reason for not meeting their sales goals was a lack of good customer service. I started by following one rule: to never leave a customer unsatisfied. I talked with each customer who needed a service. Mainly, I listened to them very carefully. The next step was to build a team of service providers who listened to customers and found the solution that would make them happy. The next step was to build a new team of technicians that love to give good service. I did something else, too. I decided that I didn't want to earn money from customer service itself, so all the payments went directly to the technicians. Within 6 months, customer service went from being the biggest obstacle for closing a sale to the biggest driver for selling. Our customers' satisfaction skyrocketed…and so did the sales. It was probably the most effective marketing campaign that I ran in my more than 30 years as a marketing director.   When I asked Warren Coughlin, one of my recent guests on the REACH OR MISS Podcast, for his best advice for entrepreneurs, he said, “I always think it's ‘to serve'! My definition of sales is professionally helping people solve problems, making it a kind of an honorable activity. “If you have a service focus for your customers, like always wanting to help them, you're going to have long client and customer relationships.”   This wasn't the first time we heard successful entrepreneurs talking about 'serving your customers.' Josh Elledge from Up My Influence and SavingAngel told his story about it: “When I started as an owner of a small-town newspaper, I was so uncomfortable to sell; I was so scared, so I ended up failing miserably. And after that, for the next five years, I did sales and marketing for a network of law firms and had to sell every day for a commission-based salary. I was very miserable, and then, I suddenly realized that it's not about convincing people to buy; it's about listening to people's needs and finding how I can help them. The minute I understood that, I started to enjoy my connection with my clients and started to succeed dramatically. I found the win-win formula.”   Bob Burg, author of the “Go-Giver,” said that “shifting your business context from getting – to give, is the most financially profitable.” In today's podcast episode, I share some of the most inspiring and educational stories of successful entrepreneurs who won their success by serving their customers best.   The first story is about Jeremy Parker from Swag.com, who told me, “I'm never satisfied in terms of customer success. We should go above and beyond to make our customers' experience great.” Jeremy Parker is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and serial entrepreneur. He is the co-founder and CEO of Swag.com, the best place for companies to buy quality promotional products that they'll actually want to keep. They work with 5,000+ companies including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and TikTok. They are #218 on the 2020 Inc 500 (fastest-growing companies in the US). Also, CrainsNY named Jeremy one of the 40 Under 40. Jeremy's career and story I'm actually a filmmaker. I even won the Audience Award at the 2006 Vail Film Festival for a documentary I made with my brother. After we won this award, I realized my passion wasn't to become a filmmaker. After college, I started my first business. I had no experience in businesses and...

When is an appropriate time to hire a coach, if you hire one at all? How much do coaches cost, and how should CEOs think about the ROI on that investment? How does one even go about looking for a coach? How much of the coaching process is focused on the business vs. on the entrepreneur themselves?

Warren helps principled entrepreneurs build a Business That Matters. That is one that delivers to you, the owner, attractive profits and a fulfilling lifestyle while also creating positive impacts on customers, team and the larger community. In other words, it is one that helps make the world - or just your corner of it - a better place. He’s been helping entrepreneurs do this since 2002. He was the top Coach in Canada with the world’s largest business coaching company before going out to focus on Businesses That Matter. His clients have experienced everything from 8 figure exits, to 7 figure salaries, from rapid expansion to minimized operational work because of the development of great leaders and high-performance values-driven cultures. Warren’s also a recovering lawyer, a serial entrepreneur, college professor, actor, theater director and Dad to a wonderful daughter who constantly challenges him to be a better person.   Most passionate about I'm really getting passionate about helping people lift their heads and say, “Okay, there are some really interesting opportunities.” I've been really passionate about ringing the bell, starting to build your strategy, starting to build your plans, not just for the next two months, but for the next 10 months. Warren’s career and story I was supposed to die at birth. I was given a zero percent chance of survival. I was the second person in history to live through this weird congenital defect. When I found out about that, it spurred in me a desire to do something. I was a lawyer. I've been an actor and theater director. I was a college professor. I've been an entrepreneur. All of those things were because I was trying to find that place where I could make an impact with this unexpected gift that I wasn't supposed to have. I believe passionately that entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces for positive social change. A family friend was doing business coaching. This was back in 2002. I'd never even heard of it. I started looking into it and just fell in love with it. That’s what I've been doing ever since – trying to take the lessons I've learned over my own professional career and helping entrepreneurs use them in their own businesses and start to succeed. Best advice for entrepreneurs I always think it's “to serve.” My definition of sales is professionally helping people solve problems, which makes it a kind of honorable activity. If you have a service focus for your customers, like always wanting to help them, you're going to have long client and customer relationships. The biggest, most critical failure with customers I had a client, a really nice guy. I guess where it went wrong was that he and I had very different thinking styles. I didn't understand that distinction in our thinking styles well enough. I let him guide the direction because he was in a bit of a crisis. We were doing things reactively instead of by a plan. I was encouraging him to move faster and I didn't realize early enough that he wasn't grasping what we were talking about. He actually wound up feeling more insecure rather than more confident. As a coach, I want people to feel more confident. He was selling lots, but by lowering the prices, because he just gave the guy commission on sales, not on margins and the guy was dropping prices. The business was growing, but he was actually losing money. Biggest success with customers A guy came to me and was really unmotivated. He was in tax debt, his team wasn't performing, and he was generating some profits and had a decent niche but no real growth plan. He was really stuck. Because of where he was emotionally, we started with a vision for him of the impact he wanted to have, not just in business but in life, and showed how, with certain revenue targets, all that was going to be possible. We worked on his culture. His sales team were sort of cowboys, so we put some accountability structures in place, as well as

He left his law practice to start a semi-pro sports team and experienced a loss (with a semi-win from learning).  He went on to teach a marketing law course while preparing for his next attempt, which would prove successful. He worked for big brands in New Media and showed us the mindset of a winner.  He talked about the importance of learning, figuring out problems at their root as well as locking in your vision and unique selling proposition.  He shared some insights about not giving up as well as avoiding being too reactive - especially in light of unforeseen trials such as covid.  He shared much, much more including the importance of a balanced approach to both strategy and culture.  Visit WarrenCoughlin.com for more!

Podcast Guest is Business Coach and Author, Warren Coughlin from Toronto. Warren is a dad and business coach to entrepreneurs since 2002. Warren believes “deeply in the core of my being that entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces for positive social change.” The first part of the discussion centers around business coaching and operational strategy: Business coaching is not the same as life coaching for business folks. Business coaching is about integrating the organization: All the specific business skills, mindsets, the systems, even the tools to help the owner reach his or her goals. Business Coaching involves some training and consulting as well as that kind of goal setting envisioning and that kind of thing. Business coaching isn't pure coaching, it's a combination of coaching, training and consulting on the strategy piece. Entrepreneurs face many challenges: Don't confuse symptoms with the problems. Utilize tools (like this one created by Warren Coughlin) to help with strategic planning. In this case, the tool automates the entire front end of the strategic planning process. Once you've identified issues, make sure to build out an actionable plan, perhaps monthly, perhaps quarterly. But set real goals and make real changes. As an entrepreneur, don't play whack-a-mole. Consider the impact you could have on your business if you made two significant improvements per quarter. Business is like poker, particularly when considering long term strategy: Make sure you don't dwell on short-term thinking. Focus on strategic long-term thinking. Business is similar to poker. Business is a game of skill, but there is much uncertainty and an array of probabilities. In both business and poker, the professionals will when the game, even if they don't win the hand. This is due to strategic thinking. Are you focusing on winning the hand or the game? Long term thinking will focus your attention on the game. Consider your business a game. Why are you in this game? What game are you playing? What do you want out of the game? If you don't focus on strategic planning, your business will face danger. Don't overlook the risks. There will be another pandemic, economic crisis, weather crisis. A downturn is always around the corner. If you're only focused on the short term, you're not going to build for the eventual downturn. And that's just because, so when you, you know, when you say stories like that, hopefully help people go, Oh, maybe I shouldn't just be thinking about the next two or three months. I need to be thinking. Long-Term. It's okay to spend some time on short-term thinking, but your focus should be on strategic long-term thinking. Make sure your decisions are based off of planning rather than off of fear: In the face of an uncertain environment, don't tortoise. Instead, plan. Don't spend all of our time on short-term results. Make sure to look at the bigger picture. In the face of uncertainty or fear, there is a natural human instinct to go into a protective mode – go into your shell. Focus on the underlying needs of your clients. Even if there is a disruption that changes the way you deliver your service or product, the underlying needs of your clients still exist. Consider pivoting, morphing, adding or modifying your business, your career, your life: Pivot general means, “I'm here and now I'm going there,” which is something totally different. A pivot is a fundamental change for a business. Most businesses don't necessarily need a "fundamental change." Impact your culture in other ways that can lead to change, morphing, adding.
