Is your business growth in your head (for only you) or on paper (so your team knows what you're marching towards)? One of the first things I did was outline a 'North Star' plan for how our organization would look once we matured. Today, I'm doing many of these roles. It is tedious to switch from a sales call, to payroll, to scheduling, to recruiting and back to outbound cold email. But, the goal is not to be doing these roles. The goal is to build systems for others to be doing the work. With additional growth (e.g. make more $$$) someone else will fill the role. Our first full time salaried role was the District Manager. As of October 1, we filled our 'Ops Lead' with a Field Operations Supervisor. This is the difference between working ON the business vs. IN the business.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use a simple but powerful forecasting spreadsheet to track the financial health of your business and make better decisions as an owner. What you’ll learn: - How to track weekly cash, accounts receivable, and work in progress - Why forecasting gives you the confidence to hire, invest, and grow - How to use data to decide when to pull key levers in your business - Why manual tracking (not just automation) helps you understand your numbers - The mindset shift from reacting to leading your business with data Step-by-step walkthrough: ✅ Log weekly cash from your bank account ✅ Pull accounts receivable from Jobber or GoHighLevel ✅ Track work in progress (WIP) and calculate forecasted cash ✅ Set up QuickBooks to email your P&L report every Monday at 3 AM ✅ Add up current revenue + forecasted cash for year-end projection ✅ Track payroll trends using Gusto ✅ Manually enter accounts payable and credit card balances ✅ Review your numbers weekly to decide where to invest and scale This system helps you stop guessing and start leading with data. Build the habit, put in the reps, and forecast like a real business owner.

Google reviews are a moat for my small business. So when we got a 2-star review, I was triaging within 2 minutes. How? 1. I have an automation set up (thanks, Zapier) so all google reviews are sent to our Slack. 2. I dug through customer data in our CRM to cross-reference the customer name. 3. When we had no exact matches, my teammate and I looked through all the 'Michael's' we had serviced and reviewed their last service and if they were satisfied. And at the end of it all, this person never even used our service... Small business is where customer obsession, bias for action, and deep dive all meet to be a perfect storm of something we can't control anyways. Here's my reply.. since all I could do was laugh about it and move on. You all ever have this happen?

When I started, I said yes to everything: excavation, trenching, gravel driveways, forestry, and fire mitigation. Why? Because I was bootstrapping and chasing cash flow. 3 years later, here’s what I’ve learned: 👉 The business that wins is the one that focuses. 👉 One core service is easier to market. 👉 One core service is easier to build systems + SOPs around. 👉 One core service lets your team get really good at delivery. Shiny objects kill momentum. FOCUS builds empires.
