Embracing Change and Navigating Business Challenges with Mark Conacher
In Episode 8 of the KBB Unstoppable Business Owner Podcast, host Kevin is joined by Mark Conacher, the Managing Director of Senstec USA, for a comprehensive discussion on business ownership, overcoming challenges, and adapting to change.
Mark shares insights from his extensive experience, starting from his beginnings as a construction and installation business owner to transitioning into his current role. He discusses the pitfalls of having all business coming from a single source, which became apparent when his main source, MFI, went under.
Mark emphasises learning from failures, the importance of diversification, and the impact of awards and standing out in the industry.
He also offers valuable advice on business growth, delegation, and focusing on the 20% that brings 80% of results based on the Pareto Principle.
Transitioning to his role at Senstec USA, Mark talks about the new challenges and learning opportunities this brings, and the significance of safety and innovation in their product offerings.
Lastly, he reflects on personal growth, the value of stepping out of comfort zones, and the willingness to learn from losses.
