When you think about it, a military command and a sports team—what do those two things have in common when they're not either in a battle or playing a game? At the time of this recording, we're almost at the end of March Madness and these teams have been in training, training, training. Right? So military command—if they're not fighting a battle, they're training. If a sports team is not playing a game, they're training, they're preparing. And yet in business, when's the last time you actually proactively trained? I think it's why it leads us to have a strategy of throwing everybody to the wolves. I mentioned that in the last video, the last podcast that we did—we have this "throw them to the wolves" mentality. So what happens when your employees stop fighting wolves and start instead being trained? Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Go to businessonpurpose.com/book and both of my books are there—Let Your Business Burn and also our brand new book is out: The Chaos Free Contractor. Make sure to go

So many business owners get frustrated because they feel like many times employees are freeloading or they're just lazy throughout the day. And the more we talk about this, the more we realize that many people think it has to do with the generations. Does it? I'm not sure. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose and I'm super excited to be able to talk to you about this because we were just in Providence, Rhode Island last week at the JLC Live doing a couple of talks and workshops there. One of the questions we got was about this issue with employees. We simply responded: is it your employees or is it you? You might think that millennials are lazy trophy collectors or Gen Zers are phone-addicted and directionless, but I think it might be a little different. And there's another question we've got to ask about that. Hey, before I go any farther, go to businessonpurpose.com/healthy and you can take a healthy assessment and understand the back-end clarity of your business—part of what I'm going to be talki

Tonight, Shawn and I—one of our coaches—are heading up to the Northeast where we've been invited to speak and present to a group of contractors in Providence, Rhode Island at the JLC LIVE convention. We're super excited about it. When we attend trade shows and talk to contractors—or really, any other business owners—we hear a common refrain: "Nobody wants to work anymore." As we listen to the complaints, we can't help but smirk a little bit. It's easy to blame Millennials or Gen Zers, but is that really the root of the problem? Is that why we can't build a loyal crew or retain the top talent we've been looking for—let alone even find it? Recently, I received an email with a subject line that said this—I’m not making this up: "Jason quit. This sucks. I'm hating Millennials." While it’s tempting to point fingers at younger generations, the reality is a little more complex than that. It’s not that people don’t want to work—it’s that they don’t want to work in chaotic environments that lack clarity and direction.

Hey, we'll have a business owner come up to us and go, "I just can't sleep." You know, we’ll say, “Hey, how was your night last night?” “I didn't sleep very well.” “Well, why not?” “Because my head's constantly spinning, constantly thinking about everything that's downstream and I can't seem to get my head around it.” This is a common refrain that we hear from business owners and we want to give you a tool that I think will be very, very simple for you to start thinking ahead, to forecast downstream, and to relieve some of that pressure. Now, we're still guessing to some degree because we're dealing with people, and people can change. That dynamic is always there. But the more we can create some means of stability—at least thinking based on the information we have—and that’s a key point, the better. You’ve got to predict, project, and forecast based on the information you have today. So when we go with that, I think there’s something—we call it a forecasting sheet. You could call it a job start sheet or a pro

Hey, we say all the time that for contractors, the tools of your trade are not hammers, nails, levels, all of that. The tools of your trade—especially in project management—are calculators, calendars, subdivided bank accounts, and spreadsheets. And so I wanted to dive into that today. There are a lot of contractors trying to figure out job to job. They can look at the end of the year at their P&L, and as long as they see a number on the bottom line, they go, "Well, I must be making money." Then they look at their bank account and say, "Well, there's money in there, so I must be making money." But the reality is, money's always in motion, right? So we don't really know if we're making money unless we do something in the contractor space called job costing. And you can do this fundamentally anywhere. If you're a retail outlet, you can do inventory costs and actually look at the margins made on products. Because what you don't want to do in business—you're going to have cash flow. There’s going to be either

When you're a business owner, you struggle so much with cash flow. It seems when we have these conversations with so many different business owners, one of the biggest questions we get all the time has to do with various elements of cash flow. These questions come to us at different times and in different ways. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business on Purpose. Delighted to bring you some content that I think could be encouraging and helpful to you around this idea of cash flow. Before I dive into this, one thing I want to let you know is if you're not living a life of generosity—and I'm talking about monetary generosity, not just other types—you will always, always struggle with money. There's a sort of spiritual law around this. You can go back millennia and realize that money is one of the top topics discussed in all of history. A lot of it has to do with the fact that we're not taking parts of it, cutting them off, and moving them to other places. We've got to be mindful of this idea of generosity. But we al

We typically work with business owners between three and 100 employees. That’s usually the range where those businesses don’t yet have a full-time, full-scale CFO (Chief Financial Officer). They may have a controller or other roles, but it’s one of those areas where owners are left wondering, “How do we track our money if we don’t have someone dedicated to it?” Hey, it’s Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Thanks for joining us. As always, I wanted to give you something very simple that can help. We call it the ABCs of tracking your money. If you don’t happen to have a full-scale CFO in your business, this is especially for you. By the way, at the time of this recording, I’m about to launch my second book called The Chaos Free Contractor. Be on the lookout for it on Amazon! And no, you don’t have to be a contractor to read it. The little-known secret is everything we write applies to any business owner with three to 100 employees. So let’s dive into this idea of tracking your money with the ABCs. The Level

In our time with business owners, a lot of the headache has less to do with finding the products and services. The innovation usually comes pretty easy for entrepreneurs. But the reality of finding and filling these financial drains in the business is what really can cause the challenge. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose, and a heads-up—I’ve got a brand-new book coming out. It's going to be hitting Amazon here in the next few weeks at the time of this recording. And it's specific to contractors. While we work with many different industries of business owners, just over 80% of our clientele are in the contractor space or they support the contractor space. So I've got a brand-new book called The Chaos-Free Contractor that you’ll want to be on the lookout for. One of the things I talk about is this idea of finding and filling financial drains in the business. See, money management for contractors involves understanding three key perspectives: the past, the present, and the future. I wanted to explor

Recently we spent two nights in the Sahara desert.  The desert is so mystical and vast that you feel ill-equipped to tie your mind around its endless borders and landscapes. So much of the desert fascinates.  Of course, we saw camels, real mirages, and sand.  What bent our minds were the thousands of other living things we saw in the desert – trees, grass, flowers, rare rocks, water, and people. We walked and watched an entire desert ecosystem quietly and subtly teeming; emerging then disappearing. Much of my faith background was informed and built around the experiences of people within desert settings whose metaphors have peppered my training and instruction.  What I actually saw with my eyes was something different. Owning a business is lonely.  You cannot (or probably should not) share everything, explain everything, or anticipate everything. Decisions are made of which may never feel reasonable.   A typical day may be spent with an owner's mind racing inefficiently from cash flow to employees, insurance

I just returned from being out of the country for 9 days and I was inaccessible to our business team.   No email, no cell phone, no text, no Slack. My wife had her cell phone on and we called some of our friends just to share what we were seeing, but I handled no day-to-day business while I was away. It’s the third time I’ve done that in two years.  Each time, the Business On Purpose team continues on with their week towards the mission of liberating owners from chaos. It’s still a mental mind-game to not constantly think, “I wonder if everything is ok!” There is a different question that I am learning to ask myself, “Do we have the principles and systems in place for the team to work in my absence (or presence)?” Here are some key elements that owners need to have in place if they are going to stop “doing it all themselves”. Written Purpose (in three forms): where there is no written vision people will grow either curious, concerned, or confused.  Where vision exists, clarity exists, and clarity is what any
