#3358: How Service Businesses & Entrepreneurs Drop The Ball
Today I’m talking about how service businesses mess things up. I had a real situation with a guy who had a chance to do a job for me but he dropped the ball over and over again. I was ready to pay him, but he kept being slow, unclear, and unprofessional. If you run a service business, this is a warning. I’m breaking down exactly what he did wrong so you don’t make the same mistakes and lose money like he did.
Show Notes:
[07:31] #1 An artist is just your technical skill and if the business is not in order, you don't get as many opportunities to do the technical thing.
[11:16] #2 Being an entrepreneur is much more about marketing, management, operations, communications and systems.
[20:16] #3 Get with someone who understands the marketing, the systems, the processes, the strategies, the entrepreneurship.
