#1 Entrepreneurial Blind Spot

One of the fastest ways to successfully  SCALE  your business is recruiting and hiring the right talent to get you where you want to grow… Yet 9 out of 10 Entrepreneurs  avoid it like the plague . Sure, most of us already know we need TOP talent to grow and scale our businesses, BUT the majority of Entrepreneurs  really  struggle “cracking the code” when it comes to  successfully  attracting, qualifying, hiring and  ultimately  RETAINING the right people  for their team.  In all fairness, it’s not like they teach us this in school. And I’ve yet to come across a training program or course that outlines a  proven formula and step-by-step process  to successfully hiring right-talent for each unique business   out there  (especially for Entrepreneurial-based businesses).  It’s our  Greatest   Entrepreneurial Blind Spot.    As Entrepreneurs, we eventually come to a pivotal point in our business when our sales and marketing will hit a plateau  (or in some cases, take a dive) ,  OR  our sales

Is your team scrambled eggs or an omelet?

When making an omelet, you definitely need eggs  (it’s the key ingredient, right?) .  You also need a stovetop, a pan, oil, and any preferred ingredients like pepper, salt, cheese, peppers, etc.  It’s not a technically an omelet without all those other ingredients… It can't be cooked without heat… And a pan puts it all together… You need all these things, or you just end up with scrambled eggs.  While eggs are the  main  ingredient, the other ingredients are pretty indispensable in the process  (if you truly have your heart set on an omelet).  I’m going to use this same analogy when it comes to a company structure. Let’s think of different talents on your team like different “ingredients”. Different talents are needed in a company to make the business “work”. Just like different ingredients are needed to make a proper omelet. Each ingredient has a “job” just like each person on your team has a “job”.  For example, the marketing director on a team has a completely different set of j

Do you have a MUSTA marketing team?

MUSTA. Fancy acronym?  Maybe the hot new thing?  Not quite. It’s actually the opposite of that.  When an Entrepreneur hires my team to help them scale their marketing and sales, the first thing we do is ask a lot of in depth questions about the product or service, the target avatar, current clients, and which marketing initiatives have worked for the company thus far.  Sometimes clients actually know and can point us to data and dashboards to prove it. A lot of times, though, the Entrepreneur says “My team said this worked well!”  Then my team looks at the data. Turns out, what they thought worked well, didn’t work at all.  A MUSTA marketing team is a team that assumes when the sales were higher, the marketing  MUSTA  worked… MUSTA marketing can create some short-term success, but ultimately they’re throwing marketing mud at the wall, hoping something  (anything)  sticks. Here’s where the challenge lies… It’s not long-term or sustainable. At some point, sales will reach a threshold, an
