191 - Rapid Business Expansion with Dr Patrick McEneaney


Dr Patrick McEneaney is the owner of the Northern Illinois Foot & Ankle Specialists podiatry businesses, and he has grown it from one to five locations in just a few short years.

As he explains, opportunities are all around us; you've just got to be prepared to jump on them when they arise. If you sit and stare at something for too long, you can make it look both good and bad. 

On this episode we discuss:

  • How he started his first podiatry business, and how the next four came after that. 
  • Good timing and good marketing 
  • Tips on increasing referrals  
  • There's no such thing as a bad conversation; you can always learn something from everyone you meet.
  • The importance of sharing your failures with others
  • The power of masterminding 
  • The benefits of making quick decisions
  • Why you shouldn't expand too early and overextend yourself.

Two questions he asks his team members:

  1. What's your favourite thing you like about working here?
  2. What else do you need from me to make your work easier?

Final Business Tips:

  1. Find good people to work with you
  2. Talk with people who have already been through the experience and don't try to rewrite the book if you don't have to.
  3. Hire slowly and fire quickly: Don't keep bad employees longer than you need to.

INS050 - Indispensable Marketing (Tactics & Strategies) with Patrick McFadden

Image
Patrick McFadden is the owner of Indispensable Marketing, and today we discuss the importance of effective marketing and how it can make your sales process easier, or harder depending on how effective it is, and why advertising and sales are sub-sets of marketing.  Advertising is often confused with marketing because it is the most visual part of marketing, but marketing is all about building trust, and your trust is always on trial, so good marketing can build trust, whereas poor marketing can erode it.  Awareness & Education How often do you hear someone say, "I didn't know they did that"? These comments show missed opportunities for the business owner, and it is a sure sign they need to focus more on awareness and education. Online Searching & Content  People search online because they know they have a problem. Therefore we need to educate them on how we can help them, and it needs to be linked back to your solution.

INS06 - 7 Steps To Self-Publishing with Michael Hanrahan

Michael Hanrahan owns a publishing company in Melbourne Australia, Michael Hanrahan Publishing, and is the author of Stand Out, 7 steps to self-publishing a book that will build your profile, promote your business and make you stand out from the crowd. Today we discussed: Why the lines between traditional publishing and self-publishing have become blurred. Self-published books use to have poorly designed covers, sub-standard layout and poor print quality. They looked cheap, but not anymore. Technology has changed the publishing world. Everything runs on a digital workflow and it’s now more viable to do short, high-quality print runs. Printing 200 copies is now quite common. It now only takes three months from a written word document to finished book. What is an ISBN and why is it important? ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number and you need to get this right. Every book and eBook has an individual ISBN number and some self-publishers make the mistake of tryi...
