When Perfectionism Is Your Biggest Business Enemy
Ahoy lads,
I’m going to get on with a topic most of you won't admit is killing your business: you might be grinding away at a shop that isn't even the one you actually want.
When was the last time you had FUN in your business?
TRUTH BOMB: Detailing creates distraction because perfection is an endless chase.
This might be the most important thing I've ever said about our industry.
Detailing allows you to create and manifest distraction for yourself because there's ALWAYS something to make better... while you avoid the hard tasks that actually move the needle.
In this episode, I take you through several "side quests" to help you discover what your ACTUAL dream shop could look like:
What I cover:
When you realize you're building someone else's version of success
The real difference between $50K/month shops and $12M/year operations (hint: it's not the quality of work)
Why burnout is VERY real (regardless of what the "gurus" claim)
The importance of systematic lead nurturing (90-day-old leads can be gold)
How to create your own "personal board meeting" to evaluate your business from three critical perspectives
The $12M/year shop has someone whose ONLY JOB is to nurture leads and build relationships - continuously reaching back to people from 30, 60, even 90 days ago.
Not to sell, but to connect.
Meanwhile, most shops only focus on who's ready to buy TODAY and its creates the chaos you deal with every day
What parts of your business drain you vs. excite you?
The business you SHOULD be building maximizes what you love and minimizes (or delegates) what you hate.
Because for this business, unless you're just going to be a money guy, it is SUPPOSED to be fun.
