Well, it’s been a minute guys, and I definitely missed you!! Welcome to my very first podcast episode of the service without excuses series of 2024 where I do a deep dive into a little bit of pessimistic thought process.  Many years ago I was told by a yellow pages salesman (if your over 40) the you understand lol what the hell I am actually talking about. He asked me a quick question about how busy I was at the time, being, I just started the business, and spent a small fortune much more than I could afford on these yellow page print ads that it was extremely slow, and it was very frus ..read more

One of my clients emailed ? me in a bit of a panic She said, and I quote ”Help, my fence is falling down ? After a second or two, I was able to put what she was asking together Her rate of attrition was very high, and she was losing customers and clients faster and faster My first question was, what are you doing to keep them?

We always seem to have to chase to purchase items, products, or services but with companies like Amazon and others that have become a staple of our purchasing decisions, having things delivered right to us. It seems like a real pain to have to go down the rabbit hole constantly, but there are many great solutions out there to cut down on the pain. If you ever visit a power plant  (which most likely you never will) there are a lot of features on the wall that operate their system. Even though that’s extremely important, at the end of the day all we care about what the electricity produces ..read more

We recently had someone messages saying that they felt their business was being quote unquote “Catfished”,  no I was definitely familiar with the term specially since there was a reality TV show out with a similar name. It was more about the pretense of people falsely claiming they were someone they were not on dating apps. But I did get me thinking, have I actually been catfish as well in the past and the truth is yes!! Cat fishing is nothing more than someone trying to prank your business and your reputation by writing bad things about you. We’ve all been there whether it’s been that r ..read more

We’ve Learned that everything going on in the world right now at least when it comes to the Russia and Ukraine conflict is that strategy is very important, but not in the lacking of tactics. It’s true Russia’s military on paper is much more powerful than that of Ukraine, however they have shown their true courage and bravery. Ukraine had to be on the defensive or the tactical side, but one of the things that gave them a big advantage is knowing that they could plan a strategy based on the experience to have the wrong country and how to defend it properly. As of this recording in March 2022 Rus ..read more

It’s truly amazing what we as business owners think about our business and what’s most important to our customers and clients and why they would want to do business with us. Ironically it’s not that way at all, why customers and clients decide to hire our services has very little to do with the technical abilities we have are all the bells and whistle‘s we can offer to them. In this podcast with our guest Michael Solomon we discussed just that, Michael is a professor at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, he discusses in great detail what we think about why clients by it’s not necessarily ..read more

In our next segment of asked the coach, I’m going over just that and what exactly is a couch and what is a consultant. They both have some similarities and many common points, however they are actually completely different from one another.

It can encompass everything from leader ship training to tactical training with your front line technicians. It has a clearly defined plan of action that usually becomes part of multiple levels in the busi ..read more
