Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through the world of small business as we bring you our horror stories and triumphs from the trenches of entrepreneurship. Hitch a ride with us on our journey from almost buying a nightmare on Elm Street to safely downing asbestos shingles; from dealing with squatters to handling tricky neighbors and local council members resistant to change; and how we learned the hard way that sometimes it's less costly to tear down and rebuild than renovate old houses.
Buckle up as we navigate the choppy waters of dealing with demanding clients, setting clear expectations from the get-go, and managing scope creep. We'll share a terrifying tale of how one misunderstanding almost cost us a client and provide you with tools to protect yourself and your business when clients push for more than what was initially agreed upon. No business journey is complete without growth pains, and we’re not shy about discussing ours, from the struggles with community growth and personal development to the importance of psychological ownership in your organization.
Finally, we’ll leave you with some nuggets of wisdom about working smarter, faster, harder, and longer, and why a strong work ethic is non-negotiable in this game. We’ll probe the differences between teaching and practicing entrepreneurship and impress upon you why setting clear expectations with clients is paramount to your entrepreneurial success. This is no ordinary business chat – it’s big talk about small business, and we promise you’ll walk away with a wealth of insights, no matter where you are on your business journey. Tune in now!
