Work On your business, not IN it-ASMM Small Business Connections

Join us as we talk with Jonathan Kiekbusch, a life long entrepreneur and Founder of SEOButler, The i2W Agency, and the WeRCMO Consultancy about:

00:00 Introduction
02:37 Recruiting the right team and keeping them motivated and happy
09:50 Introduction to the Sleeping Giant Strategy for scaling your business
16:00 Why SOPs are crucial and how to build them
20:00 How to work ON your business, not IN it
30:30 Does the marketing industry exploit small business?

Jonathan shares that recruiting, growing, and developing new businesses is not a one size fits all strategy. He recommends leveraging what you do really well to figure out the best use of your time. Deciding to recruit and hire requires the discovery of your hourly worth.

Jonathan reminds us that being an entrepreneur is naturally stressful and time-consuming. Analyzing the stress of caring for your business and managing the stress and work/life balance is crucial to both the success of your business and yourself. Jonathan suggests getting out of the trenches of your business for a different perspective of how your business operates. This is vital for growth and useful for determining your business SOPs. Successful business owners will look at their business from the outside in.

Jonathan recommends examining your business this way:
-You serving the customer
-You serving the team
-The team serving the customers
