So many business owners are so eager to start their business that they don't ever take the time to answer "the why." Why are they starting their business at all? Is it to build the best business they can? To provide for their family? To create jobs? There are plenty of reasons to start, but if you jump head first without thinking you could end up with a mission-less business that loses it's steam when times get tough.
In this Taking Care of Business segment, expert coach and trainer Scott Beebe, who founded My Business on Purpose, joins our host Duane Johns to talk about where custom builders could be getting off on the wrong foot.
"A lot of times we've got these swirling thoughts in our heads," Beebe says, "but we never take the time to sit and write them down for ourselves."
In the spirit of discovering the "why" at the root of your business, Beebe goes on to walk Johns through an exercise he runs his building and remodeling clients through, aimed at discovering just that. Details on his process can be found in the video below (and in more videos Taking Care of Business Videos, accessible through Custom Builder's YouTube channel).
