The Business Method: Interviewing Billionaires, Billion Dollar Founders & the World’s Most Successful People 🎧🔥

Dan Roitman is the founder of Stroll, an eCommerce platform company that specialized in marketing education products. Through Stroll, Dan turned Pimsleur into the second largest language learning platform in the US, and close to a $100 Million product line. For seven years in a row, his company that he started in his college dorm room was on the Inc. 5000 list, the Philadelphia 100, and Internet Retailers top 500 list. He’s also been recognized as a ‘40 Under 40’ by both Direct Marketing News and the Philadelphia Business Journal For a ten-year period, Stroll had an annual growth rate of over 70%. The company became an $80 million professionally managed organization with more than 125 employees. Dan had a fascination with personal development products that began in college when he needed to quickly learn how to build and manage a business. He was able to self-fund the growth of Stroll through his own constant commitment to business improvement and the ability to leverage sophisticated marketing analytics and advanced e-commerce techniques.    To quote Dan….    “I realized the only way to succeed would be to leverage the few dollars at hand. I had access to several third-party testing and optimization tools. All I needed to do was monitor and assure an ROI on every advertising dollar invested so that I could ultimately optimize my results until I was successful. Analytics and optimization became my rallying cries—a means to lift me from my own disaster and build a quickly growing business. Today, Dan is focused on his early education business, MindFinity, and also mentors high-growth entrepreneurs in his spare time. Dan sold Stroll a few years back. We’re going to talk about that today, on top of Dan’s mindset and high-performance tips, along with his new venture MindFinity.    05:57: Being Ruthless with Your Time Podcast Episode About Being Ruthless w/Your Time  13:57: Starting Stoll in His College Dorm 17:58: Ensuring Every Dollar Put Into a Business is Profitable 27:37: Matching Values in Business 33:42: How Dan Viewed His Largest Competitor Not as a Competitor At All 42:42: Contribution Margin vs. Profit Margin 50:08: Finding Contentment in Current Work Projects 51:49: Dan on Meditation 59:47: High-Performance Tips from Dan Roitman  Contact Info:   https://mindfinity.com/ Dan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danroitman/   Subscribe to the Podcast:   Website:  https://www.thebusinessmethod.com/dan-roitman   Apple Podcasts:  http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethod   Google Podcasts:  http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethodGooglePodcasts   Spotify:  http://bit.ly/SpotifyTheBusinessMethod

~ High-Performance Entrepreneurship ~    Bryan Clayton is CEO and cofounder of GreenPal an online marketplace that connects homeowners with local lawn care professionals. Just a few episodes ago we had the man that made the 80/20 Principle famous Richard Koch on the show Episode 496. Richard talked in depth about true ‘Network Businesses’ like Uber that is nothing but an app that connects people that provide a service, and people that need a service. Richard mentioned that in today’s world one would be crazy for not building, starting, investing and working in or with a ‘Network Business.’ And I agree! Network Businesses are making life more convenient one additional app at a time.    Bryan, our guest today has created GreenPal a true ‘Network Business’ for the lawn care industry connecting those people that need lawn care work to those lawn care professionals that want to come and take care of someone's lawn. GreenPal has been called the “Uber for lawn care” by Entrepreneur magazine and has over 200,000 active users completing thousands of transactions per day.   Before starting GreenPal, Bryan founded Peachtree Inc. one of the largest landscaping companies in the state of Tennessee growing it to over $10 million a year in annual revenue before it was acquired by Lusa holdings in 2013.   03:52 Who is Bryan Clayton? 06:04 Bryan’s First Business- Peachtree Inc. 08:19 The Origins of GreenPal 11:48 Building a Network Business 18:14 Growing GreenPal Sustainably 21:11 The Challenges of Launching in Different Cities 31:49 Going 4 Years Without a Salary 36:16 Managing Finances & Profitability 45:09 Getting Homeowners on GreenPal 47:30 The Challenges of Leveraging Social Media 49:07 Bryan’s Daily Routines 55:17 Where To Find Bryan Clayton?   Contact Info:   https://www.yourgreenpal.com/ Subscribe to the Podcast:   Website:  https://www.thebusinessmethod.com/bryan-clayton Apple Podcasts:  http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethod   Google Podcasts:  http://bit.ly/TheBusinessMethodGooglePodcasts   Spotify:  http://bit.ly/SpotifyTheBusinessMethod
