    Make Sure You're Actually Making Money

    It's time to talk about everyone's favourite topic in business: the actual numbers. Maths, spreadsheets, P&L reports; exactly what a hard working parent wants to come home to relax with after a long day of making things clean. But there's no point to all of the other work that you put into your business if, at the end of the day, you're not actually making any money. Join this chat with BAS agent & bookkeeper Joanne Spiteri as she talks through the struggles that she sees with mum & dad businesses and where the hidden profits in your business might be lurking.

    Try Before You Die (He Lost His Dad at 21)

    Robert Eisenstadt runs a very successful pressure washing business as well as the Commercial Pressure Washing community group (with resources and recently their first live event, link at the end) - but he wouldn't have built it to what it is now if his wife hadn't noticed that the remodeling & carpet cleaning side of their business was losing them about $20,000 per month! And he wouldn't have even graduated to that problem if he was never spurred to start his business in the first place. How did that happen? When Robert was 21 his father died and Robert was unable to get the time off that he wanted to handle things with his family. He promised himself that he would never again let someone else be in charge of his time like that. Join us on our conversation as we talk about how Robert is now hyper-intentional with his family, what he has learned from his business' growth and his relationship to mortality & legacy.

    120 Window Cleaning Employees WHILST Prioritizing Family Time

    On the surface, Benjamin Barlow's story sounds like that of most window cleaners. He got started without much, it was kind of a side hustle and then it became his primary means to feed his family and he committed to the business on a long-term basis. He is very family focused and refused to allow his business to overshadow his identity as a family-oriented man. But this is where Ben's origin story diverges from that of most window cleaners: along with his business partner, Ben employs 120 window cleaners. How did they manage to grow & scale whilst maintaining a family focus? How was Ben able to make the shift from working on the tools to managing others and then to essentially acting as a consultant within his own business? How did his identity not get snagged in a specific stage along the way? Find out with me as you listen to this great conversation with the amazing & unassuming Benjamin Barlow.

    Broken Systems, Limiting Beliefs & Reaching Your Goal

    Are your systems REALLY broken? Are your beliefs REALLY limiting? To answer those questions, you first need to answer these questions: What is your goal? What is your WHY? By answering these questions, you contextualize what your systems and beliefs ACTUALLY need to be. Maybe you are much closer than you think to where you are meant to be. You don’t need to build a business that serves someone else’s vision; your business is there to serve your family.

    Proximity, Self Trust & Being the Smallest Fish

    Are your relationships with your top 5 friends worth more or less to you than your aspirations in the areas of your life that you are saying matter the most to you?

    Wants ≠ Desires

    What is your "why"? Why are you in business? What do you want your business to achieve for you? Do you ever find yourself losing touch with that statement of purpose? Getting caught up in the day to day of the business and then suddenly making decisions that aren't in alignment with that goal? In this episode we delve into some of the background reasons for this (lifting the hood to see what's going on in your thinker) and then defining the one place that you need to act from so as to train your brain to favour supporting you in your long-term goals.

    A New Devil at Every Level

    Why is it so much easier to cover the ground you have already covered in your business EVEN IF you have a map for what lies ahead? I discuss Joshua Latimer's 5 stages of business and how that is simultaneous a very helpful framework and also nearly entirely unrelated to what helps you to break through to the next stage/level from where you are currently. There's a new devil at every level of your growth and that's not a bad thing; in fact, it is a compass.

    The Business Systems System

    You’ve heard about the need for business systems. How else are you going to automate, delegate & scale? How else is your business going to reach the heights that it needs to in order for it to fulfill your vision? Maybe you have some systems, maybe you have none; they can feel like this elusive skeleton key that is ready to unlock everything for you in your business. Just sort out the systems and level up, simple as that. But they can be deceptively simple or deceptively complex. So what are systems? Why should you care? Why should you build them even if you are just starting our or just a one-man show? How can you build them? How can you tie your systems together and make them work? What kind of maintenance will your systems need? How much is too much or how little is too little? What systems does your business need right now? Which systems should you focus on next? Strap yourself in because we are going to cover all of that and more.Book a Free Call with Mark:https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/bookings/epic-call-ey-with-mark-mc-call-ey-12ca8f42-939b-4ba7-9c72-33b00bb6e151Join the FREE Family-Oriented Business Growers Skool group via www.warplan.au

    REMINDER: You Are Not Your Customer

    Due to technical difficulties, this episode came into existence. I tried to do someone else's speciality job (upgrading PC components) and have felt the pain of my DIY project. If I had instead tasked the pros with this, they would have done it without any hiccups and thought nothing of it. What's the lesson? Sometimes we forget how hard it might be for our customers to do the thing that we offer to do for them. Your experience in your business is not at all the same as your customer's experience in your business. It's good to remind yourself of that and what makes your service valuable to them.
