#126 The one thing that took my business from a $350k a year stressfest to a scalable business ready to grow
The shift was the moment we stopped pointing fingers and started taking the blame for things going wrong within our business. Instead of texting the employees the night before about their shift we scheduled them out a week in advance. Even if we weren't sure exactly what they'd be doing. We overemphasized their schedules and set up automated emails and texts to constantly remind them as the day approached. Instead of training them by walking around the warehouse pointing at things we spent time recording training videos with perfect voice overs. We quizzed them at the end of the training videos with real on-the-job problems.

#125 Making money is a skill
You wouldn't expect to be able to pick up a basketball and play for an NBA team day 1. So why do we expect to start a business and get rich or make good money on day one? It's a skill. You get better at it by PRACTICING. Making decisions. Communicating. Selling. You can read all the books you want but it just takes getting out there and doing it. Starting small and working your way up. Stop reading this and start putting yourself out there. Start something.
