The Sweaty Startup

I'm going to talk to you about delegation, the hardest and most important part of getting wealthy. I'm going to share a fact that I made up. 99% of business owners suck at delegation, specifically, management tasks. Meaning, a task that's not simply obeying orders, for example, answering phone calls or delivering kinds of stuff. When I say management task, I meant, doing the work to make a decision that impacts the business's bottom line, whether it be quoting jobs, hiring, or training employees, selling new work, and deciding whether to buy something or not. All those things that you as a business owner get overloaded doing. Now, 99% of business owners absolutely suck at delegating that stuff, and that's why they work way too much, and they're underpaid.

In this episode of The Sweaty Startup, I'm going to share what I feel to be the two hardest parts of building a successful startup. Not only do I consider these the most difficult, I feel they are essential for any Entrepreneur, especially for those in small business that are struggling with the management of their company. Now the sad truth is, these two qualities are one of the most commonly overlooked areas of business and are often left untreated. What are they?

In this episode we're going to talk about money. I was raised to think about money differently than most people. My parents taught me the value of money, how hard you have to work for money, and how money is the means to an end. Money doesn't have to be the end goal, but it can be what allows you to reach your end goal. Find out more how important Money Making skill is in this episode!

A little quick episode about what sucks in entrepreneurship culture. I've been trying to be positive and avoid being negative. So, let me rant for a bit. I notice lately how the media are romanticizing the idea of building a "start-up" business and gaining hype around starting a business with these "new" ideas. Frankly, I call BS.

In business and in life, small habits build success, and one of the most important habits is time management.

I want to talk about something that I think is pretty important. It is understanding the difference between value and money.

I attended a conference last week called Capital Camp in Columbia, Missouri. This is by no means a promotional ad for that conference, but I walked away with a clear head and some amazing insights into my strategy, my mindset, and how I manage the emotions and ego every entrepreneur deals with, especially with the Sweaty Startup Podcast and The Nick Huber Show. Everything was organized by my friend, Brent Beshore, and his partner Patrick O'Shaughnessy, both extremely accomplished investors. Just to give you an idea of the caliber of what I'm talking about, the average net worth of this conference was probably $10 million, roughly 280 attendees, and if I'm willing to bet, there were eight or nine billionaires. In short, there were a lot of bad-ass people that I had the opportunity of being around. Find out more how successful people think in this episode!

Lately, I've been reflecting on what I'll be most proud of at the age of 85.
