Unleash The Power Of Your COO: Contractor Evolution

My guest on the show today is Cameron Herold, best-selling author of 6 books, many of which you’ll know and love: The Miracle Morning, Meetings Suck, and arguably his most popular Vivid Vision. But today’s conversation is about his latest book, The Second In Command: Unleash The Power Of Your COO, which I am immediately putting on the must-read list for all of you.

He’s even built a mastermind group for COOs called the COO Alliance, which is like a breakthrough academy but just for COOs. Super cool. The book and today’s episode amalgamate Cameron’s wisdom gained through decades of filling, studying, coaching, and writing about the all-important COO role. 00:00 - Intro 04:20 - How do you define the COO role? 07:43 - Most COOs would do a terrible job running other businesses 21:19 - Finding a COO 29:18 - Onboarding 39:40 - Working together long term 48:59 - "The Party is Over" 53:04 - Where can people connect with you?

Contractor SOPs For Overwhelmed Owners: Contractors Evolution

To get the resource bundle we talk about in the episode, click here: https://trybta.com/SOP No one sets out to run a dumpster fire of a business. And yet… we can all admit that, at least occasionally, it feels that way. Things tend towards chaos. Entropy is a real thing. This phenomenon is literally baked into the fabric of the universe. But that doesn’t mean through smart systems, we can’t overcome it and create organizational order. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are arguably the most critical weapon in this battle, and my friend Tom Hughes is back on the show to enlighten us. Tom’s a lean manufacturing guru, owner of Lumen Electronincs, and the author of Improvement Starts With I and GREAT Processes - two amazing books devoted to organizational change through SOPs. Expect to learn: - Why “pulling” SOPs out of your team is more effective than “pushing” SOPs onto them - How using a multimedia approach to SOPs ensures they actually get followed - Leadership tactics to create a Kaizen culture that continuously improves itself 00:00 - Intro 11:19 - S.O.P Red Flags 23:25 - Where do I start?\ 36:48 - How to Build S.O.P's 49:15 - Why SOPS Fail 01:01:41 - Q&A To know more about Tom and GembaDocs visit: https://gembadocs.com/ Subscribe to Breakthrough Academy to never miss a video! � http://bit.ly/youtubebta Interested in working with us?

Pitfalls Of A Growth Mindset: Elite Business Advice

Being an entrepreneur and a visionary can be a great thing in building a successful business, but it also opens you up to a lot of risk the more you grow. In this episode, we break down the most common pitfall we see of having a growth mindset: not having a period of profitability to build up a cushion to fuel your growth. A lot of entrepreneurs spend their profits to sustain the growth, only to build the house of cards on a shakier foundation than having a period of profitability to prepare for that growth journey.

Dial In Your Social Media Strategy With 6 Questions: Contractor Evolution

Do you shove off your social media strategy to already busy employees who half-ass it or just don’t have the time? Because I certainly have. When you’re slammed running a business, making Instagram posts can feel a little beneath you. And so the default move is to pawn it off to a junior who inevitably does very little with it. This is exactly why a fully formed strategy is so important. It gives you something tangible to hand off so that someone else on your team can find success with it. Jonathan Cor is the founder of Customer Growth - A contractor-focused social media agency. He advises and consults with 7-figure and 8-figure businesses dialing in their social media strategies to deliver actual business results you can measure. Today we answer a few questions: - With so many content creators and distractions, is social media still worth investing in? - What are the ingredients that go into a simple and easy-to-execute strategy? - What should your posts even be about? Who should be capturing and posting them? 00:00 - Intro 02:10 - Is Social Media still worth investing in? 07:26 - What's wrong with "just posting?" 11:27 - Social Media Audit & Competitive Analysis 14:52 - Why? 24:40 - Who? 31:22 - What? 38:50 - Where? 44:54 - When? 50:59 - How?
