Get Coaching!! Why Go To Coaching Conferences?

Hey, amazing folks! It's Brian from Electrical Specialist, and today, we're diving into the buzzing world of entrepreneurship on this sunny Saturday in early February. The Super Bowl is right around the corner, and you know what? I'm all geared up for some high-octane excitement. Rocking my team colors, I might look a little rough today after an epic night with my Adelaide band. But hey, the show must go on, and I'm here to drop some thought-provoking wisdom on you.

The Elusive Buffer Day

Life as an entrepreneur can be a whirlwind of excitement, but let's be real, it's a whirlwind nonetheless. You see, there's this mystical thing called the "buffer day" that I've been missing lately. It's that one day, every couple of weeks, when you need to clear the clutter and wrap up those unfinished projects. Trust me; it's a game-changer, especially when you're like me, training a team of eager individuals.

Predicting how long a job will take is a bit like guessing the weather - sometimes it's a breeze, and other times it's a hurricane of confusion. So, instead of frantically rearranging your schedule when things run over, aim to allocate at least two days every month for this buffer. This is your sacred "No-schedule Day." Embrace it, and you'll find it's like money in the bank for when you need to catch up or dive into long-overdue projects.

And if the heavens smile upon you, and no work lands on your plate during this downtime, make it count. Organize your shop, give it a good clean, and tackle those pending projects you've been neglecting. Trust me; you'll thank yourself later.

The Miami Adventure

Ladies and gentlemen, I've got some thrilling news to share! In March, I'm setting my course for Miami from the 10th to the 14th. Why, you ask? Well, I'll be attending a conference featuring none other than Tom Reaver from The Contractor Fight. I've been glued to his content for the past six months, and let me tell you, this guy is the real deal.

Tom, an ex-marine, has a knack for keeping it straight and no-nonsense, just like I do. His leadership skills and his knack for separating the wheat from the chaff are truly remarkable. So, why Miami? This conference is a chance to immerse myself in the company of like-minded individuals who are all on the journey of growth and success. It's like a vacation for your mind and your business, a chance to break free from the daily race.

Crafting Your Credit Line

Now, let's talk money – specifically, your credit line. I'm not talking about strolling into the bank with a begging bowl; we're past that stage. It's high time we entrepreneurs take charge of our financial destiny. You see, many of us start with limited capital, and credit cards become our ever-present companions.

I bet many of you, like me, have uttered the words, "I'll pay it off soon." But those credit card balances have a sneaky way of sticking around. Tom Reaver has a brilliant approach - he calls it "profit first." The idea is to start building your own credit line by setting aside profits from your business. Borrow from it when needed, and repay it. It's like having your personal financial cushion.

Imagine the money you'll save by not resorting to high-interest credit lines. You should strive to have a decent credit line for yourself, using the profit you've stashed away to handle monthly expenses and unexpected costs. It's a game-changer, trust me.

Hiring for Growth

One of the key realizations I've had in the past six months is that my company only grows when I'm in the office. It's time to step out of the field and dive into the world of the office. But there's a caveat - you can't do this without a solid team in the field.

Hiring is a crucial part of the puzzle, and it's a game I wish I'd started sooner. You see, your business won't evolve if you're stuck doing everything yourself. You need individuals who can share the load and bring their creativity and critical thinking to the table.

But how do you find these gems? Running Facebook ads has been my go-to strategy. Sure, I've received a flood of applications, but I'm on the hunt for the cream of the crop. Finding the right people is the name of the game, and I'm in it to win it.

So there you have it, folks. As you journey through the world of entrepreneurship, make sure to schedule some learning and growth programs. Give yourself the gift of travel, and yes, make it tax-deductible. Craft your own credit line and get your financial house in order. And remember, hiring is your ticket to business growth.

Stay positive, stay creative, and never stop reaching for the stars. Until next time, have a fantastic day and go Chiefs! 🚀🌟
