00:00:00.091 --> 00:00:06.315
If you have a home service business, I implore you to stop learning and start doing.
2
00:00:06.956 --> 00:00:27.550
And if that means you need to stop watching this video, stop watching a podcast or a book, or subscribing to a whole bunch of YouTube channels and digesting hours and hours of content every single day, I implore you to stop taking more inputs and just focus on doing what you already know you need to do in your business.
3
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:44.322
I fell into this trap a lot in the first few years of business because when you're out in the field doing the work, you have plenty of time to plug in your earbuds and listen to copious amounts of books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and get so many ideas of what you should do in your business.
4
00:00:45.042 --> 00:00:53.329
And the bottom line is most of us only execute on one thing and maybe add one thing every few months to improve our business.
5
00:00:53.829 --> 00:00:57.372
If you're trying to figure out Facebook ads, that's the only thing you can think about.
6
00:00:57.993 --> 00:01:10.262
And if you're also trying to do some Google ads and some yard signs, you're also trying to figure out every door, direct mail and building your website and wrapping your trucks, if you're trying to do all of these other things at the same time, it's unlikely you're going to solve the constraint of learning Facebook ads.
7
00:01:11.063 --> 00:01:23.308
And so I believe in the world of AI, in the world of copious amounts of content being created every single minute, we are not dying for a lack of instruction, or education, or knowing what to do.
8
00:01:23.928 --> 00:01:30.771
We are dying for the fact, our businesses are dying, for the fact that we are executing on what we know we should be doing.
9
00:01:31.391 --> 00:01:41.144
And because we are not executing on what we know we should be doing, we'd rather fill that time with the mental scratching that happens when we can learn all these other things.
10
00:01:41.405 --> 00:01:45.851
And we learn from people that have built hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue about what they're doing in their business.
11
00:01:45.871 --> 00:01:47.233
And that's so exciting.
12
00:01:47.513 --> 00:01:48.293
That's so cool.
13
00:01:48.353 --> 00:01:54.715
And we watch what someone does in a huge launch, or a fantastic event, or a huge conference, and we think, oh, that's amazing.
14
00:01:54.955 --> 00:01:55.535
I would love to do that.
15
00:01:55.776 --> 00:02:00.897
You see someone else doing a course or an online, some sort of a community, like, oh my goodness, I would love to do that.
16
00:02:01.317 --> 00:02:10.420
And we constantly are keeping our mind fragmented in terms of attention instead of putting all that focus on the one constraint in the business that we should be focused on.
17
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:11.340
And here's the thing.
18
00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:16.322
A lot of times, the reason we don't do that is because we're afraid we're focused on the wrong thing.
19
00:02:17.162 --> 00:02:18.923
We're afraid we're building the wrong business.
20
00:02:19.324 --> 00:02:21.245
We're afraid we're in the wrong service.
21
00:02:21.586 --> 00:02:23.527
We're afraid we should be doing a completely different industry.
22
00:02:23.827 --> 00:02:28.131
We're afraid we're on the wrong bus, the wrong vehicle for our wealth.
23
00:02:28.751 --> 00:02:32.094
And because of that, we constantly are investigating other vehicles.
24
00:02:32.354 --> 00:02:32.894
Here's the problem.
25
00:02:32.975 --> 00:02:34.416
You can only choose one vehicle.
26
00:02:34.896 --> 00:02:40.841
And so if I have a Ferrari and a Corolla and a bus and a motorcycle, I'm like, oh man, I don't know which vehicle to operate in.
27
00:02:41.141 --> 00:02:43.703
Okay, well, I'm just gonna learn all about all four of them.
28
00:02:44.063 --> 00:03:03.780
Well, you can only choose one and you will get further on the motorcycle if you just get on the motorcycle and start implementing and executing and taking action versus pondering and thinking about how I could use the Ferrari and whether the bus is a better situation and what about the Corolla, it's more dependable, it's cheaper, like, instead of just taking action on one thing.
29
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:07.021
And so, so many of us are thinking, well, should I have gotten to HVAC?
30
00:03:07.481 --> 00:03:08.621
Should I have gotten electrical?
31
00:03:08.641 --> 00:03:10.762
I'm hearing private equities get into those industries.
32
00:03:10.782 --> 00:03:13.302
Maybe I shouldn't be doing this window cleaning thing.
33
00:03:13.322 --> 00:03:14.122
I shouldn't be doing mowing.
34
00:03:14.162 --> 00:03:16.823
I hear Mike talking about mowing, so maybe I should do recurring services.
35
00:03:17.483 --> 00:03:22.024
Instead of just taking what we're currently doing and pulling all of our time, all of our attention on it.
36
00:03:22.765 --> 00:03:31.547
And this whole thing with AI is making this worse because now it feels like you're making progress when in reality, you're just taking more information.
37
00:03:32.287 --> 00:03:58.312
and you're like oh no no ai can run my business no you need to execute on building the systems for the business to operate inside of how do i know this you go try to use ai to hire someone right now and grow your organization and get another technician like oh i can do that i can have an avatar and then i can have them go into this flow and ask them these questions and it'll take what they say and run it through this transcript and offer them a job at the end of the day they have to have evidence and proof that they're going to get a paycheck and that paycheck
38
00:04:02.594 --> 00:04:11.547
And so right now, at least for now, it is not going to go to the person that knows the most information because AI ultimately knows all information.
39
00:04:11.567 --> 00:04:16.634
It has scraped every piece of data on the internet and has that knowledge, but yet it still can't,
40
00:04:17.215 --> 00:04:19.216
hire one person, because it can't pay the bill.
41
00:04:19.696 --> 00:04:21.197
It actually costs money to run those tokens.
42
00:04:21.657 --> 00:04:25.319
And so it is still going to come down to the person that can execute the best.
43
00:04:25.619 --> 00:04:28.061
It's not gonna come to the person who knows the most information.
44
00:04:28.481 --> 00:04:32.143
This was a huge topic of discussion when I was thinking about building home service boardroom
45
00:04:32.503 --> 00:04:44.332
is I didn't want to make it a place where every single week there's new content and new courses and hours and Q&A and then there's live calls and there's all this stuff and it's overwhelming with the amount of information because we already have so much of it.
46
00:04:44.372 --> 00:04:52.198
You can type in very quickly into AI, into any model and immediately have copious amounts of data, information of what you should do next in your business.
47
00:04:52.878 --> 00:04:55.580
It is not the person that knows the most information that will win.
48
00:04:55.781 --> 00:05:04.909
Now is the person that will execute and instead of learning more information, they actually block all the noise out and just focus on one or two things and execute on them.
49
00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:09.653
So in the home service boardroom, what we did instead is we have one course every single month.
50
00:05:09.933 --> 00:05:12.455
It might be two to four hours, but it's about one topic.
51
00:05:13.036 --> 00:05:14.517
And then it's not like learn about these things.
52
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:15.138
What did you learn?
53
00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:15.538
Awesome.
54
00:05:15.558 --> 00:05:15.758
Great.
55
00:05:15.778 --> 00:05:16.139
Let's go.
56
00:05:16.219 --> 00:05:17.300
No execute.
57
00:05:18.198 --> 00:05:20.621
Go implement this inside of your business, inside of your life.
58
00:05:21.302 --> 00:05:24.365
And so like the first module, the first course is all about health.
59
00:05:24.646 --> 00:05:31.453
Okay, I want you to track your macros, track your calories, track your steps and your workouts for 30 days straight, every single day.
60
00:05:31.934 --> 00:05:32.114
Great.
61
00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:37.094
Module number two, course number two, month number two, we are talking about marriage.
62
00:05:37.474 --> 00:05:48.145
Okay, I want you to actually go implement a budget, a profit and loss statement for your personal finances, create a marriage constitution with you and your spouse to be able to be able to grow the business together and be on the same page.
63
00:05:48.825 --> 00:05:50.367
And that's all we're gonna talk about.
64
00:05:51.065 --> 00:05:58.129
We're not gonna also talk about marketing and systems and hiring and firing and putting dollars here and investing in real estate and stocks and crypto.
65
00:05:58.149 --> 00:05:59.230
We're not gonna talk about all that stuff.
66
00:05:59.370 --> 00:06:09.816
We're gonna talk about one thing at a time because it's very easy to get into this idea of feel like you're making progress when really all you're doing is receiving incoming information.
67
00:06:10.897 --> 00:06:15.820
And this is especially true for those out in the field because you have so much time on your hands to listen.
68
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.102
You are constantly ingesting more information and that's fine.
69
00:06:19.142 --> 00:06:24.845
I would rather you listen to that than just music all day long or some talk radio or news for goodness sake.
70
00:06:25.085 --> 00:06:29.587
But be very careful to think that learning more information is going to be the solve for your business.
71
00:06:30.108 --> 00:06:38.813
It's going to be taking one bit piece of information and then likely putting huge amounts of effort and energy and time over the course of months to execute it in your business.
72
00:06:39.693 --> 00:06:41.975
In order to see a result, three things need to happen.
73
00:06:42.455 --> 00:06:47.079
I need to identify a problem, I need to identify a solution, and then I need to go execute.
74
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.241
And most of us get caught in this loop of one and two.
75
00:06:50.541 --> 00:06:52.383
We see problems in our business, we see solutions.
76
00:06:52.523 --> 00:06:54.024
We hear about it on a podcast, we see it in a book.
77
00:06:54.224 --> 00:06:55.105
We watch it in a video.
78
00:06:55.385 --> 00:06:56.446
I guess you wouldn't see it in a book.
79
00:06:56.466 --> 00:06:59.208
You would hear it or listen to it or read it in a book.
80
00:06:59.568 --> 00:07:01.571
And then we go right back to, oh, there's another problem in my business.
81
00:07:01.831 --> 00:07:06.176
Oh my goodness, some huge influencer said this on their podcast, I should do that same thing.
82
00:07:06.356 --> 00:07:09.440
Okay, so problem, solution, problem, solution, problem, solution, problem, solution.
83
00:07:10.441 --> 00:07:15.607
But if you never execute, the loop is never completed, and you never achieve progress.
84
00:07:16.208 --> 00:07:20.631
And so be very careful as we get into this world where more and more content will be made.
85
00:07:20.991 --> 00:07:23.413
AI will make it easier to get the input.
86
00:07:23.653 --> 00:07:26.835
It'll become easier and easier to know what to do right in your business.
87
00:07:27.296 --> 00:07:31.098
It'll become easier and easier to input all of your information into an AI model.
88
00:07:31.118 --> 00:07:32.940
I literally created this thing for myself.
89
00:07:33.220 --> 00:07:34.741
MikeAndy.com slash AI.
90
00:07:34.781 --> 00:07:35.841
It's completely free for everyone.
91
00:07:36.122 --> 00:07:37.463
You can input all your financials.
92
00:07:37.543 --> 00:07:42.166
It'll go through 20 million words that I've said online and then tell you exactly what to do in your business.
93
00:07:42.186 --> 00:07:42.406
Okay.
94
00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:46.460
and it won't do you a single bit of good if you don't execute.
95
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.521
And so if you constantly are getting, what's wrong with my business, here's the solution.
96
00:07:51.801 --> 00:07:54.182
And then because of this, we think we're a good student.
97
00:07:54.482 --> 00:07:57.242
It's like, well, if I went and talked to this person, I'd ask them these three questions.
98
00:07:57.602 --> 00:07:59.443
And then if I talked to this other person, I'd ask these questions.
99
00:07:59.783 --> 00:08:02.184
And I just talked to someone the other day, like 30 questions from him.
100
00:08:02.204 --> 00:08:07.545
I'm like, you gotta figure out which one of these questions actually are most important, prioritize.
101
00:08:08.645 --> 00:08:27.272
We will get the answer and then you need to execute on it because I would rather have the wrong answer But with a hundred percent execution then the right answer with zero percent execution And so instead of trying to get the perfect pick instead of trying to make every single decision perfect take action massive action
102
00:08:28.437 --> 00:08:35.280
on the current one constraint that you've identified inside the business and don't spend all day long trying to figure out what that constraint is.
103
00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:40.123
Because here's the thing, there's 100 problems with my business, your business, and every other business.
104
00:08:40.763 --> 00:08:53.469
The only job you have as the founder when you're growing is to identify which one should I be allocating my attention and resources towards, which one should I be focused on, and complete the loop of problem, solution, execute, execute, execute.
105
00:08:53.729 --> 00:08:56.231
The person that executes the most grows the biggest business.
106
00:08:56.851 --> 00:09:01.516
There are plenty of people that become armchair quarterbacks for their business and for everyone else's business.
107
00:09:01.836 --> 00:09:03.077
And they've listened to every podcast.
108
00:09:03.097 --> 00:09:04.038
They know every influencer.
109
00:09:04.058 --> 00:09:05.200
They listen to every single book.
110
00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:09.063
They listen to any time and influencers like doing tiers of books.
111
00:09:09.083 --> 00:09:13.368
They know every single one like, oh, yeah, I've done the seven habits, successful people.
112
00:09:13.628 --> 00:09:14.529
I know the offers book.
113
00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:14.949
Okay.
114
00:09:14.969 --> 00:09:15.070
Yeah.
115
00:09:15.130 --> 00:09:16.391
I know Dale Carnegie.
116
00:09:16.411 --> 00:09:16.992
I know that book.
117
00:09:17.032 --> 00:09:17.312
Okay.
118
00:09:17.752 --> 00:09:19.134
And they know all this information.
119
00:09:19.574 --> 00:09:24.796
And yet they still have not built the business that serves them, their family, their team, and achieving their goals.
120
00:09:25.276 --> 00:09:27.417
But yet they know everything of what they should do.
121
00:09:27.477 --> 00:09:28.817
And they have the answer for everything.
122
00:09:28.877 --> 00:09:30.038
And they can break things apart.
123
00:09:30.238 --> 00:09:34.299
And they can analyze and overanalyze and just fail to execute.
124
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.780
So I encourage you today, stop watching this video.
125
00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:38.560
Stop watching the next 10 videos.
126
00:09:38.801 --> 00:09:39.741
Stop doom scrolling.
127
00:09:39.941 --> 00:09:42.802
Stop talking to AI and getting a hundred different ideas of what you should change in your business.
128
00:09:43.946 --> 00:09:46.407
Take the one thing that you already know you gotta figure out.
129
00:09:46.687 --> 00:09:49.027
If it's hiring more people, just focus on that.
130
00:09:49.427 --> 00:09:50.408
That's the only thing to focus on.
131
00:09:50.448 --> 00:09:52.788
You don't need to learn 20 different ways to get new employees.
132
00:09:53.068 --> 00:09:55.629
Take the one thing that's worked and just do more of it and get better at it.
133
00:09:55.829 --> 00:09:57.609
Get better at refining your interview questions.
134
00:09:57.869 --> 00:09:59.750
Get better at refining how your job ad looks.
135
00:10:00.050 --> 00:10:04.131
Get better at making sure that you follow up with an applicant before they show up to their interview.
136
00:10:04.151 --> 00:10:04.871
So they actually show up.
137
00:10:05.231 --> 00:10:09.872
And once they actually get the job offer signed, that you follow up with them again to ensure they show up for day one.
138
00:10:10.112 --> 00:10:11.953
And then you refine your training process.
139
00:10:12.153 --> 00:10:13.493
You know what to do.
140
00:10:13.993 --> 00:10:18.935
And so many times I know business owners know exactly what to do and the only thing that's holding them back is execution.
141
00:10:19.255 --> 00:10:26.699
And so the only help I want you to get, the only thing I want you to reach out externally and try to pull in towards you is someone that will keep you accountable to execution.
142
00:10:26.739 --> 00:10:29.040
Don't listen to what I'm saying, listen to what I'm doing.
143
00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:32.762
And right now in the home service boardroom, the only thing we focus on is accountability.
144
00:10:33.342 --> 00:10:37.148
We literally track every single member as to whether or not they're completing each monthly challenge.
145
00:10:37.588 --> 00:10:47.123
And so if you need to go out and get a coach or a community or someone else to hold you accountable to taking execution on the thing you know you need to do in the business, in my opinion, that's the only help you need.
1
00:00:00.091 --> 00:00:06.315
If you have a home service business, I implore you to stop learning and start doing.

00:00:06.956 --> 00:00:27.550
And if that means you need to stop watching this video, stop watching a podcast or a book, or subscribing to a whole bunch of YouTube channels and digesting hours and hours of content every single day, I implore you to stop taking more inputs and just focus on doing what you already know you need to do in your business.
3
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:44.322
I fell into this trap a lot in the first few years of business because when you're out in the field doing the work, you have plenty of time to plug in your earbuds and listen to copious amounts of books, podcasts, YouTube videos, and get so many ideas of what you should do in your business.
4
00:00:45.042 --> 00:00:53.329
And the bottom line is most of us only execute on one thing and maybe add one thing every few months to improve our business.
5
00:00:53.829 --> 00:00:57.372
If you're trying to figure out Facebook ads, that's the only thing you can think about.
6
00:00:57.993 --> 00:01:10.262
And if you're also trying to do some Google ads and some yard signs, you're also trying to figure out every door, direct mail and building your website and wrapping your trucks, if you're trying to do all of these other things at the same time, it's unlikely you're going to solve the constraint of learning Facebook ads.
7
00:01:11.063 --> 00:01:23.308
And so I believe in the world of AI, in the world of copious amounts of content being created every single minute, we are not dying for a lack of instruction, or education, or knowing what to do.
8
00:01:23.928 --> 00:01:30.771
We are dying for the fact, our businesses are dying, for the fact that we are executing on what we know we should be doing.
9
00:01:31.391 --> 00:01:41.144
And because we are not executing on what we know we should be doing, we'd rather fill that time with the mental scratching that happens when we can learn all these other things.
10
00:01:41.405 --> 00:01:45.851
And we learn from people that have built hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue about what they're doing in their business.
11
00:01:45.871 --> 00:01:47.233
And that's so exciting.
12
00:01:47.513 --> 00:01:48.293
That's so cool.
13
00:01:48.353 --> 00:01:54.715
And we watch what someone does in a huge launch, or a fantastic event, or a huge conference, and we think, oh, that's amazing.
14
00:01:54.955 --> 00:01:55.535
I would love to do that.
15
00:01:55.776 --> 00:02:00.897
You see someone else doing a course or an online, some sort of a community, like, oh my goodness, I would love to do that.
16
00:02:01.317 --> 00:02:10.420
And we constantly are keeping our mind fragmented in terms of attention instead of putting all that focus on the one constraint in the business that we should be focused on.
17
00:02:10.820 --> 00:02:11.340
And here's the thing.
18
00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:16.322
A lot of times, the reason we don't do that is because we're afraid we're focused on the wrong thing.
19
00:02:17.162 --> 00:02:18.923
We're afraid we're building the wrong business.
20
00:02:19.324 --> 00:02:21.245
We're afraid we're in the wrong service.
21
00:02:21.586 --> 00:02:23.527
We're afraid we should be doing a completely different industry.
22
00:02:23.827 --> 00:02:28.131
We're afraid we're on the wrong bus, the wrong vehicle for our wealth.
23
00:02:28.751 --> 00:02:32.094
And because of that, we constantly are investigating other vehicles.
24
00:02:32.354 --> 00:02:32.894
Here's the problem.
25
00:02:32.975 --> 00:02:34.416
You can only choose one vehicle.
26
00:02:34.896 --> 00:02:40.841
And so if I have a Ferrari and a Corolla and a bus and a motorcycle, I'm like, oh man, I don't know which vehicle to operate in.
27
00:02:41.141 --> 00:02:43.703
Okay, well, I'm just gonna learn all about all four of them.
28
00:02:44.063 --> 00:03:03.780
Well, you can only choose one and you will get further on the motorcycle if you just get on the motorcycle and start implementing and executing and taking action versus pondering and thinking about how I could use the Ferrari and whether the bus is a better situation and what about the Corolla, it's more dependable, it's cheaper, like, instead of just taking action on one thing.
29
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:07.021
And so, so many of us are thinking, well, should I have gotten to HVAC?
30
00:03:07.481 --> 00:03:08.621
Should I have gotten electrical?
31
00:03:08.641 --> 00:03:10.762
I'm hearing private equities get into those industries.
32
00:03:10.782 --> 00:03:13.302
Maybe I shouldn't be doing this window cleaning thing.
33
00:03:13.322 --> 00:03:14.122
I shouldn't be doing mowing.
34
00:03:14.162 --> 00:03:16.823
I hear Mike talking about mowing, so maybe I should do recurring services.
35
00:03:17.483 --> 00:03:22.024
Instead of just taking what we're currently doing and pulling all of our time, all of our attention on it.
36
00:03:22.765 --> 00:03:31.547
And this whole thing with AI is making this worse because now it feels like you're making progress when in reality, you're just taking more information.
37
00:03:32.287 --> 00:03:58.312
and you're like oh no no ai can run my business no you need to execute on building the systems for the business to operate inside of how do i know this you go try to use ai to hire someone right now and grow your organization and get another technician like oh i can do that i can have an avatar and then i can have them go into this flow and ask them these questions and it'll take what they say and run it through this transcript and offer them a job at the end of the day they have to have evidence and proof that they're going to get a paycheck and that paycheck
38
00:04:02.594 --> 00:04:11.547
And so right now, at least for now, it is not going to go to the person that knows the most information because AI ultimately knows all information.
39
00:04:11.567 --> 00:04:16.634
It has scraped every piece of data on the internet and has that knowledge, but yet it still can't,
40
00:04:17.215 --> 00:04:19.216
hire one person, because it can't pay the bill.
41
00:04:19.696 --> 00:04:21.197
It actually costs money to run those tokens.
42
00:04:21.657 --> 00:04:25.319
And so it is still going to come down to the person that can execute the best.
43
00:04:25.619 --> 00:04:28.061
It's not gonna come to the person who knows the most information.
44
00:04:28.481 --> 00:04:32.143
This was a huge topic of discussion when I was thinking about building home service boardroom
45
00:04:32.503 --> 00:04:44.332
is I didn't want to make it a place where every single week there's new content and new courses and hours and Q&A and then there's live calls and there's all this stuff and it's overwhelming with the amount of information because we already have so much of it.
46
00:04:44.372 --> 00:04:52.198
You can type in very quickly into AI, into any model and immediately have copious amounts of data, information of what you should do next in your business.
47
00:04:52.878 --> 00:04:55.580
It is not the person that knows the most information that will win.
48
00:04:55.781 --> 00:05:04.909
Now is the person that will execute and instead of learning more information, they actually block all the noise out and just focus on one or two things and execute on them.
49
00:05:05.329 --> 00:05:09.653
So in the home service boardroom, what we did instead is we have one course every single month.
50
00:05:09.933 --> 00:05:12.455
It might be two to four hours, but it's about one topic.
51
00:05:13.036 --> 00:05:14.517
And then it's not like learn about these things.
52
00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:15.138
What did you learn?
53
00:05:15.238 --> 00:05:15.538
Awesome.
54
00:05:15.558 --> 00:05:15.758
Great.
55
00:05:15.778 --> 00:05:16.139
Let's go.
56
00:05:16.219 --> 00:05:17.300
No execute.
57
00:05:18.198 --> 00:05:20.621
Go implement this inside of your business, inside of your life.
58
00:05:21.302 --> 00:05:24.365
And so like the first module, the first course is all about health.
59
00:05:24.646 --> 00:05:31.453
Okay, I want you to track your macros, track your calories, track your steps and your workouts for 30 days straight, every single day.
60
00:05:31.934 --> 00:05:32.114
Great.
61
00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:37.094
Module number two, course number two, month number two, we are talking about marriage.
62
00:05:37.474 --> 00:05:48.145
Okay, I want you to actually go implement a budget, a profit and loss statement for your personal finances, create a marriage constitution with you and your spouse to be able to be able to grow the business together and be on the same page.
63
00:05:48.825 --> 00:05:50.367
And that's all we're gonna talk about.
64
00:05:51.065 --> 00:05:58.129
We're not gonna also talk about marketing and systems and hiring and firing and putting dollars here and investing in real estate and stocks and crypto.
65
00:05:58.149 --> 00:05:59.230
We're not gonna talk about all that stuff.
66
00:05:59.370 --> 00:06:09.816
We're gonna talk about one thing at a time because it's very easy to get into this idea of feel like you're making progress when really all you're doing is receiving incoming information.
67
00:06:10.897 --> 00:06:15.820
And this is especially true for those out in the field because you have so much time on your hands to listen.
68
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.102
You are constantly ingesting more information and that's fine.
69
00:06:19.142 --> 00:06:24.845
I would rather you listen to that than just music all day long or some talk radio or news for goodness sake.
70
00:06:25.085 --> 00:06:29.587
But be very careful to think that learning more information is going to be the solve for your business.
71
00:06:30.108 --> 00:06:38.813
It's going to be taking one bit piece of information and then likely putting huge amounts of effort and energy and time over the course of months to execute it in your business.
72
00:06:39.693 --> 00:06:41.975
In order to see a result, three things need to happen.
73
00:06:42.455 --> 00:06:47.079
I need to identify a problem, I need to identify a solution, and then I need to go execute.
74
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.241
And most of us get caught in this loop of one and two.
75
00:06:50.541 --> 00:06:52.383
We see problems in our business, we see solutions.
76
00:06:52.523 --> 00:06:54.024
We hear about it on a podcast, we see it in a book.
77
00:06:54.224 --> 00:06:55.105
We watch it in a video.
78
00:06:55.385 --> 00:06:56.446
I guess you wouldn't see it in a book.
79
00:06:56.466 --> 00:06:59.208
You would hear it or listen to it or read it in a book.
80
00:06:59.568 --> 00:07:01.571
And then we go right back to, oh, there's another problem in my business.
81
00:07:01.831 --> 00:07:06.176
Oh my goodness, some huge influencer said this on their podcast, I should do that same thing.
82
00:07:06.356 --> 00:07:09.440
Okay, so problem, solution, problem, solution, problem, solution, problem, solution.
83
00:07:10.441 --> 00:07:15.607
But if you never execute, the loop is never completed, and you never achieve progress.
84
00:07:16.208 --> 00:07:20.631
And so be very careful as we get into this world where more and more content will be made.
85
00:07:20.991 --> 00:07:23.413
AI will make it easier to get the input.
86
00:07:23.653 --> 00:07:26.835
It'll become easier and easier to know what to do right in your business.
87
00:07:27.296 --> 00:07:31.098
It'll become easier and easier to input all of your information into an AI model.
88
00:07:31.118 --> 00:07:32.940
I literally created this thing for myself.
89
00:07:33.220 --> 00:07:34.741
MikeAndy.com slash AI.
90
00:07:34.781 --> 00:07:35.841
It's completely free for everyone.
91
00:07:36.122 --> 00:07:37.463
You can input all your financials.
92
00:07:37.543 --> 00:07:42.166
It'll go through 20 million words that I've said online and then tell you exactly what to do in your business.
93
00:07:42.186 --> 00:07:42.406
Okay.
94
00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:46.460
and it won't do you a single bit of good if you don't execute.
95
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.521
And so if you constantly are getting, what's wrong with my business, here's the solution.
96
00:07:51.801 --> 00:07:54.182
And then because of this, we think we're a good student.
97
00:07:54.482 --> 00:07:57.242
It's like, well, if I went and talked to this person, I'd ask them these three questions.
98
00:07:57.602 --> 00:07:59.443
And then if I talked to this other person, I'd ask these questions.
99
00:07:59.783 --> 00:08:02.184
And I just talked to someone the other day, like 30 questions from him.
100
00:08:02.204 --> 00:08:07.545
I'm like, you gotta figure out which one of these questions actually are most important, prioritize.
101
00:08:08.645 --> 00:08:27.272
We will get the answer and then you need to execute on it because I would rather have the wrong answer But with a hundred percent execution then the right answer with zero percent execution And so instead of trying to get the perfect pick instead of trying to make every single decision perfect take action massive action
102
00:08:28.437 --> 00:08:35.280
on the current one constraint that you've identified inside the business and don't spend all day long trying to figure out what that constraint is.
103
00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:40.123
Because here's the thing, there's 100 problems with my business, your business, and every other business.
104
00:08:40.763 --> 00:08:53.469
The only job you have as the founder when you're growing is to identify which one should I be allocating my attention and resources towards, which one should I be focused on, and complete the loop of problem, solution, execute, execute, execute.
105
00:08:53.729 --> 00:08:56.231
The person that executes the most grows the biggest business.
106
00:08:56.851 --> 00:09:01.516
There are plenty of people that become armchair quarterbacks for their business and for everyone else's business.
107
00:09:01.836 --> 00:09:03.077
And they've listened to every podcast.
108
00:09:03.097 --> 00:09:04.038
They know every influencer.
109
00:09:04.058 --> 00:09:05.200
They listen to every single book.
110
00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:09.063
They listen to any time and influencers like doing tiers of books.
111
00:09:09.083 --> 00:09:13.368
They know every single one like, oh, yeah, I've done the seven habits, successful people.
112
00:09:13.628 --> 00:09:14.529
I know the offers book.
113
00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:14.949
Okay.
114
00:09:14.969 --> 00:09:15.070
Yeah.
115
00:09:15.130 --> 00:09:16.391
I know Dale Carnegie.
116
00:09:16.411 --> 00:09:16.992
I know that book.
117
00:09:17.032 --> 00:09:17.312
Okay.
118
00:09:17.752 --> 00:09:19.134
And they know all this information.
119
00:09:19.574 --> 00:09:24.796
And yet they still have not built the business that serves them, their family, their team, and achieving their goals.
120
00:09:25.276 --> 00:09:27.417
But yet they know everything of what they should do.
121
00:09:27.477 --> 00:09:28.817
And they have the answer for everything.
122
00:09:28.877 --> 00:09:30.038
And they can break things apart.
123
00:09:30.238 --> 00:09:34.299
And they can analyze and overanalyze and just fail to execute.
124
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.780
So I encourage you today, stop watching this video.
125
00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:38.560
Stop watching the next 10 videos.
126
00:09:38.801 --> 00:09:39.741
Stop doom scrolling.
127
00:09:39.941 --> 00:09:42.802
Stop talking to AI and getting a hundred different ideas of what you should change in your business.
128
00:09:43.946 --> 00:09:46.407
Take the one thing that you already know you gotta figure out.
129
00:09:46.687 --> 00:09:49.027
If it's hiring more people, just focus on that.
130
00:09:49.427 --> 00:09:50.408
That's the only thing to focus on.
131
00:09:50.448 --> 00:09:52.788
You don't need to learn 20 different ways to get new employees.
132
00:09:53.068 --> 00:09:55.629
Take the one thing that's worked and just do more of it and get better at it.
133
00:09:55.829 --> 00:09:57.609
Get better at refining your interview questions.
134
00:09:57.869 --> 00:09:59.750
Get better at refining how your job ad looks.
135
00:10:00.050 --> 00:10:04.131
Get better at making sure that you follow up with an applicant before they show up to their interview.
136
00:10:04.151 --> 00:10:04.871
So they actually show up.
137
00:10:05.231 --> 00:10:09.872
And once they actually get the job offer signed, that you follow up with them again to ensure they show up for day one.
138
00:10:10.112 --> 00:10:11.953
And then you refine your training process.
139
00:10:12.153 --> 00:10:13.493
You know what to do.
140
00:10:13.993 --> 00:10:18.935
And so many times I know business owners know exactly what to do and the only thing that's holding them back is execution.
141
00:10:19.255 --> 00:10:26.699
And so the only help I want you to get, the only thing I want you to reach out externally and try to pull in towards you is someone that will keep you accountable to execution.
142
00:10:26.739 --> 00:10:29.040
Don't listen to what I'm saying, listen to what I'm doing.
143
00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:32.762
And right now in the home service boardroom, the only thing we focus on is accountability.
144
00:10:33.342 --> 00:10:37.148
We literally track every single member as to whether or not they're completing each monthly challenge.
145
00:10:37.588 --> 00:10:47.123
And so if you need to go out and get a coach or a community or someone else to hold you accountable to taking execution on the thing you know you need to do in the business, in my opinion, that's the only help you need.
