  • #14 - How Can Trades Leverage Technology to Blow Away Their Competition?
    May 25 2023

    After running someone else’s business for a few years, Brad launched Ellison Painting in April of 2022.

    In the first 7 months of business they sold over $1.2 million in painting services, took first place in an entrepreneur reality show competition, and has grown to over 30 painters in the field.

    Ellison Painting is poised to be the fastest growing independent painting company in the U.S. over the next 3-5 years.

    After automating much of their administrative, scheduling, estimating, and invoicing activities to not only reduce the need for additional employees but also to provide a truly unmatched customer experience, tech has allowed Brad to grow from $0 to over $1,000,000 in business in the first 6 months of operation, with just Brad and one other employee.

  • #13 - How Can a Non-Tech Founder Implement Tech to Scale?
    May 18 2023

    True Love Pet Care is not a tech business, but tech is still necessary to run it.

    This isn't what Kelly went into business to do, so it feels like tech is moving faster than she keep up. She is dealing with this by focusing on learning one new tech item at a time.

    Currently Kelly is working on “modernizing” the shop by implementing software for online booking, pet records and so much more.

  • #12 - How Many Apps Will it Take to Scale?
    May 11 2023

    Sam Mars is currently working on his first app solutions for Pubfluence. He plans to have a regular app and a web app.

    Sam feels that he needs a minimum of two apps for Pubfluence to scale, but because of what the business is setting out to become, it may even need to be three or four apps.

    It's difficult to move forward without knowing for sure - especially when Sam knows that making the wrong move here could sink the company in its very early stages.

    What is a reasonable plan for getting started?

  • #11 - Settling VS Perfection: What is good enough and what's asking too much?
    May 4 2023

    We depend on technology for websites, apps, and CRM, but too often we get caught up in perfecting the details within those elements. Is this too much of a distraction from the work that really needs to be done?

    We remember that sometimes worse is good enough, but could launching something subpar be more damaging? Business owners often find themselves directly responsible for things like websites, landing pages, newsletters, and automated emails, even though it's obviously not their strong suit.

    How do we find the line between what is "good enough" in the tech aspect of business, and what is doing too much?
