Today Eric and Larry sit down and reminisce on the reasons why and how Super Tech University started. Owning a service business in Southern California for many years, Eric and Larry found themselves in a constant cycle of working overtime, stress, and not having the freedom they dreamed of. Nearly all the issues they had stemmed from problems such as their team not knowing: How to behave in a client's home How to communicate with the client How to represent the company How to build value How to sell by educating the client These are skills not taught in the home or at school. They decided to change that and spent 5 minutes a day teaching their team these skills. Over time, they saw incredible change in their team, which resulted in more profit and growth for the company. After selling their service business, Eric and Larry began coaching other business owners who came to them for help, implementing the same training and lessons that they used in their own business. Training the whole team in these skills made all the difference to these businesses as well, and they also started to see the same positive results. Super Tech University was born! With clients now all around the country (and the world), Eric and Larry discuss the importance of having these skills and why it is so important to take time to train and connect with your team.

In today's podcast, Eric and Larry sit down with long-time friend, colleague, and certified bookkeeper Electa Bartels. Electa is also the founder and owner of Profit In Your Pocket. What is Profit In Your Pocket, you ask? It is bookkeeping exclusively serving the home service industries. Our conversation today centers around small businesses and some of the unique challenges that face Home Service Businesses, especially when it comes to knowing the numbers. Bookkeeping often is the last thing a small business owner gets to, and often leads to the Blue Collar Business spiral where money 💵 just seems to swirl out of the checking account, and it often feels like a miracle if the owner can pay themselves after everything else has been paid 💰. We hope you enjoy our conversation and also glean a little information about small business finances; we especially hope that this conversation will help you learn some tips and tricks to keep profit in your pocket 😀.

We teamed up with the Floodlight Consultants Chris and Brandon for another great Book Club discussion. This time the book we delve into is: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. It is a great book teaching us how to shift our mindset and start thinking more out of the box. When we change our perspective on growth and operations, we see different avenues and the infinite potential not only for our business but in all areas of our life. We hope you enjoy our conversation. Brandon and Chris also have the Head, Heart and Boots Podcast. You will love them there too! Here's a 5 point summary of the provided text: Podcast Discussion: Health and Business Struggles: Early in the conversation, Eric shares his experience of being debilitated due to illness, highlighting the challenges of managing health and business demands. This personal anecdote leads into the broader theme of the book, emphasizing the importance of delegation and team-building in business. Mindset Shift from 'How' to 'Who': The core concept of the book and the podcast discussion is shifting the mindset from asking "How can I do this?" to "Who can do this for me?". This shift encourages business leaders to focus on delegation, collaboration, and investing in people to achieve their business goals more efficiently. Value of Investing in People: The speakers discuss the importance of seeing team members as investments rather than costs. They emphasize hiring talented individuals and paying them well, arguing that this approach leads to better business outcomes and a transformation of the business itself. Real-life Business Examples: Throughout the discussion, various real-life examples are shared to illustrate the principles of the book. These include stories of business owners who have successfully applied the 'Who Not How' philosophy by investing in high-quality team members and focusing on their unique strengths to drive business growth. What are 3 points of action a business owner can take: Shift Focus from 'How' to 'Who': Reevaluate your approach to business challenges by shifting the question from "How can I do this?" to "Who can do this for me?". This mindset change encourages delegation and leveraging the strengths of others. Identify tasks that can be delegated and start looking for individuals or teams who can effectively take over these responsibilities, allowing you to focus on areas where you add the most value to your business. Invest in High-Quality Team Members: Recognize the importance of investing in skilled and talented team members. Rather than minimizing costs by hiring less qualified individuals, focus on attracting and retaining high performers who can significantly contribute to your business's growth and efficiency. This might involve offering competitive salaries, but the return on investment in terms of productivity and business growth can be substantial. Focus on Health and Balance: Acknowledge the importance of your health and work-life balance as a business owner. The discussion about Eric being debilitated due to illness underscores the risks of burnout and health issues from overworking. Implement strategies to manage your workload effectively, such as setting boundaries, taking regular breaks, and ensuring that you are not shouldering all responsibilities alone. This approach not only benefits your personal well-being but also sets a positive example for your team. Implementing these action points can help a business owner to effectively grow their business, build a stronger team, and maintain a sustainable work-life balance. TITLE SPONSOR: Super Tech Univers
