Make Sure You're Actually Making Money

It's time to talk about everyone's favourite topic in business: the actual numbers. Maths, spreadsheets, P&L reports; exactly what a hard working parent wants to come home to relax with after a long day of making things clean. But there's no point to all of the other work that you put into your business if, at the end of the day, you're not actually making any money. Join this chat with BAS agent & bookkeeper Joanne Spiteri as she talks through the struggles that she sees with mum & dad businesses and where the hidden profits in your business might be lurking.

Try Before You Die (He Lost His Dad at 21)

Robert Eisenstadt runs a very successful pressure washing business as well as the Commercial Pressure Washing community group (with resources and recently their first live event, link at the end) - but he wouldn't have built it to what it is now if his wife hadn't noticed that the remodeling & carpet cleaning side of their business was losing them about $20,000 per month! And he wouldn't have even graduated to that problem if he was never spurred to start his business in the first place. How did that happen? When Robert was 21 his father died and Robert was unable to get the time off that he wanted to handle things with his family. He promised himself that he would never again let someone else be in charge of his time like that. Join us on our conversation as we talk about how Robert is now hyper-intentional with his family, what he has learned from his business' growth and his relationship to mortality & legacy.

Team Culture: He Took His Top 40 Employees on a Cruise

Joshua Schiffman grew his business by red lining it for 10 years; all growth, no profit. The team that got him there has grown, changed shape & been treated like family. Now each year, every member of the team who hits their key metrics goes on a company trip. Josh talks about how through intentional experiences and gifts, his team is edified and stretched to grow. This is at an impressive scale for a pest control or home service business; but the difference is the intention not the scale. As you listen to this interview, think about what fostering a culture that develops your people would look like for you.
