We all know the standard KPIs we need to track the success of a business. Dollars sold. Dollars produced. Gross profit. Net profit. 

The only problem with these all-important metrics is that they are LAGGING indicators.

We find out about their performance AFTER the activity that drives them has already happened. They tell us whether we achieved the results we wanted, but say little about how to get those results in the future.

This is where LEADING indicators can be instrumental in helping you lead your team.

If you tell your project managers to raise gross profit next quarter, they won’t know how.

But if you tell them to keep their materials expenses below 15% by following a more efficient ordering and purchasing process. 

They actually stand a pretty good chance.

Today, Breakthrough Academy Coach Brayden Russell is on the show to break down how to turn your lagging indicators into leading indicators and orient your team towards success.

00:00 - Intro
02:08 - Lagging vs. Leading Indicators
04:34 - The Conveyor Belt Analogy
25:29 - How to identify your leading indicators
41:32 - How to nail down your quarterly critical numbers

Get Allan Dib's new book, Lean Marketing, here: https://leanmarketing.com/books/leanm... 

“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The trouble is I don't know which half.”

Ever heard that saying?

That classic quote from John Wanamaker dates back over a hundred years ago. And, sadly, even with all the new technology, tracking mechanisms and data at our fingertips, it’s still kinda true. At least it is for many contractors.

Our guest today is Allan Dib, author of The 1-Page Marketing Plan and, as of this year, a brand new book called Lean Marketing.

The idea is pretty simple. Marketing creates A LOT of waste that provides zero value to you or your customer.

So, today we’re going to talk about Allan’s 9 Lean Marketing principles that will help you get more leads, more profit, with LESS MARKETING.

00:00 - Intro
01:01 - Lean Marketing definition
07:36 - Why is it so easy to get duped by agencies?
13:29 - Principle 1 : Create value for your target market with your marketing
18:55 - Principle 2: Embed Marketing throughout the entire product life cycle and customer journey
26:37 - Principle 3: Market comes before product
32:32 - Principle 4: Use the tools and technology to do the heavy lifting and reduce friction
37:41 - Principle 5: Use assets to increase your yield on marketing activities
44:53 - Principle 6: Selling is the best way to build a brand
49:31 - Principle 7: Marketing is a process, not an event
51:47 - Principle 8: Use content to create a pulling force
54:19 - Principle 9: Test, measure, and continuously improve each step in your marketing campaigns
57:34 - Allan’s advice for contractors

If you are like most business owners, you think, I can just do it myself. I’ve worn all the hats here for years, I can just do it. Its easier for me to do it than to explain to someone how to do it. Does that sound familiar? As Entrepreneurs, we will hit a ceiling in our business if we don’t learn to delegate. Unfortunately, what many people do is wait too long to delegate, get frustrated when it doesn’t go well, and resume doing it themselves. Or even worse, we do desperation delegation, where we just throw people into the fire and hope they brought an extinguisher with them.

In today’s episode we talk about delegation in your business, the number 1 thing to freeing up your time and getting ownership of your business again. We share some things to consider along with the pitfalls to avoid when it comes to delegation.

Need help coordinating tasks and roles in your business? Schedule a free business analysis meeting with us at www.elitebusinessadvisors.com

Running a highly profitable contracting business has two sides of the coin.

You need the profitability skill sets: budgeting, job costing, pricing strategies, accounting best practices, and so on.

We’ve discussed these plenty on the show.

The other thing you need is the “profitability mindset.” 

This has very little to do with spreadsheets and bookkeeping and everything to do with your attitude towards money, your belief and self-worth, and your ability to practice what our guest on the show today calls wealth attraction.

Brian Kaskavalciyan, aka The Wealthy Contractor, is back on the show for the second time to talk about how to clarify your why, get control of your mind and develop the sense of deserving that so many contractors are missing.

Episode highlights:
Find out why so many contractors operate with a broken profit model, and how to fix it.
Learn how to use the four number exercise to clarify your why and 10x your wealth attraction.
Hear The Wealthy Contractor’s advice on taking control of your mind so you can develop the sense of deserving and self-worth that so many contractors are missing.

00:00 - Intro
03:33 - About Brian's Profitability Workshops
08:06 - The broken profit model
13:13 - Profitability skills vs. profitability mindset
19:25 - The 4 Numbers Exercise
34:51 - Taking control of your mind
48:07 - Staying hungry in the face of success
52:47 - Brian’s observations about the best of the best
