Summary

Today's episode is a throwback to 2018 with a 4Ds session where I help entrepreneurs get the most out of their businesses by giving them advice on how I would handle their pain points. We discuss the importance of firing employees that are playing for themselves, not the logo. I explain that you can't force people to do things they don't want to do and expect success. I also share my thoughts on diversification and never becoming complacent with the one platform you're doing well on. This is a business-heavy episode but much of the advice translates into everyday life. I hope you enjoy:)

So in this part of the country where we are, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, there's no save the world.

0:43.0

Go green. It's not like a burglary or a Seattle where they're doing this.

0:46.0

I totally understand. It's 100% will this save me money above and beyond staying with the utility company?

0:52.0

So for us, that's that's really what drives it. So as we move into the luxurious and towns or as the process plays out, I mean, you know, I don't know the business well enough.

1:04.0

I assume once you put the panels on, you know, it's hard to unwind and move to somebody else, you know.

1:11.0

But price, price is an incredible thing to play on.

1:18.0

Price is incredible to play on. I think the question you always have to ask yourself with price is, can somebody come along with bigger pockets and beat you on price?

1:27.0

You know, where everybody, this is the reason Walmart destroyed Kmart and Bradley's and Caldor and those guys destroyed Woolworths.

1:35.0

And when you were in the price game, you only have a moment in time.

1:39.0

Right. That's right. So for us.

1:42.0

And to your point, if you want to expand, there'll be other creative pillars you'll have to play on.
