Reflecting on what we are Learning from our Podcast Guests

Key Points

• Will and Justin are excited about the upcoming season of Building Scale and the variety of guests they have lined up. From consultants to Field Wire to experts in M&A, they have something for everyone who is looking to learn more about how to scale their business.
• The beginning stages of a company are always interesting to explore, especially in regards to how the company started and the decisions that led to its success. In this episode of Business Rockstars, Will and Justin explore some of the key points that make a company successful. From the cost of time, to the importance of saying yes, to the power of a great team, these are all factors that can make or break a company.
• Will has been giving speaking engagements on the company's behalf to share their story and mission with others.
• The process of building relationships is key to a company's success. This was evident in the way that Haley and Blake, as well as Julie and Mike from Travel lightworks, approached their sales training. They both focused on vulnerability and building relationships, which is essential for a company to scale.
• The biggest takeaway from this episode is that implementing technology yourself can be a huge mistake if you're not careful. It's important to weigh the cost of paying for implementation versus doing it yourself and make the decision that makes the most sense for your business.
• The biggest nugget I took away from season three is that working on the business is just as important as working in the business. Haley and Blake at Danielson Chandler showed us that by sharing their process of setting 20 main goals for the year and breaking them down into 120 sub tasks. This allows them to get everyone on the same page and move the business forward.
