Entrepreneurial Journey Ep.21: Mentoring Yourself, Ego's Role in Business & Multi-State Challenges!

Today's episode touches on introspection, challenging decisions, and the unexpected complications of running businesses in multiple states.
First up, a realization: Sometimes, your best mentor is your own experiences. By reflecting on our journey and decisions, we often unearth invaluable lessons that shape our future paths. Speaking of decisions, I'm contemplating a significant one - potentially phasing out our hardscape division. I'll deep dive into the reasons and the thought process behind this.
An essential lesson I've been grappling with is the role of ego in business. It's tempting to chase impressive revenue numbers, but what does it matter if it doesn't translate to profit? It's crucial to ensure that the shine of revenue isn't blinding us to the reality of our bottom line.
Lastly, while venturing into two states seemed like a strategic move, the reality has presented challenges I never anticipated. I always believed that our Arizona and Minnesota branches would operate independently, but recent events have shown how issues in one can ripple into the other. It's been a learning curve, and I'm sharing all about it.
