604: Your Life And Business Trends For 2023

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/10/03

Every year, each one of our heroic business owner clients has an opportunity to commit to PREP WEEK... it's the one week of the year (in November) where we walk business owners step-by-step through the priority items they need to spend time on prior to the upcoming year to ensure that their time and energy is locked and focused on their WRITTEN vision. Here is how PREP WEEK works...

603: How To Build Culture In The Workplace

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/09/26

We have been misled about the idea of culture. After poorly thought out ideas of free-Friday-lunches, bean bag chairs in the break rooms, ping pong tables, open office concepts, and incentive compensation plans, team members are still disengaged and frustrated. We are trying to solve a pervasive, soul level challenge, with the oscillating fan of surface level ideas, rather than dousing the underlying flames of cultural disconnection with the quenching water of cultural satisfaction and engagement

2022/09/26

If I were to walk into your office this week, pick an employee at random and ask them where you’re headed as a business over the next year or so, would they be able to answer correctly? I’d wager they may be able to nail a few small things, but would probably fall short of where you’d like them to be. So how do we communicate those things and effectively put the bullseye on the wall for the whole team to chase after? Well, it starts with a team vision day. Let’s talk about it! Thanks so much for

601: 4 ways to prepare for a recession

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/09/20

A few months back I was driving the most beautiful stretch of interstate on God’s green earth, I-26 between Orangeburg and Columbia…and I’m on one of those long stretches where it’s 40-ft tall pine trees as far as the eye can see and I start to notice some clouds stacking up in the distance. Cars just disappearing into it a mile or so out and here I am driving 70+ mph right at it. Kind of an eerie gray about it and I can’t even remotely see through it, what’s on the other side, what’s inside… none

2022/09/14

There’s a new generation of kids hitting the workforce. So, with thousands of options, how do we attract them to our business? And how do we make sure we have enough runway in front of them so they don’t just jump at the next available job that pays a little bit more? Well, let’s talk about that today! Good morning friends, Thomas Joyner with Business on Purpose here. We met last week with about 125 business owners and key leaders to plan out the 4th quarter. One of the resounding issues that kept

599: What To Look For In A Marketing Manager

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/09/13

Marketing and I have a love-hate relationship. The results are powerful when the results exist, yet too often, the results are more aligned with vanity than they are with actual growth. Marketers are like business coaches (of which I am one) and gypsies, each profession has a low bar of entry and the results are often quantified and masked by generalities. I can’t speak for gypsies, but marketers and business coaches have real opportunity to move the needles for businesses IF the needle is well

597: Construction Business Cost Control Methods

2022/08/31

Contractors are notorious for leveraging tomorrow’s money to pay yesterday’s bills…” robbing Peter to pay Paul.” We can look around and justify the practice, and yet we know deep down that it is a dangerous line to walk; a bit like an expensive game of musical chairs. Eventually, the music does stop… or at least pauses. The most dynamic way to prepare for any event moving forward, whether it be growth, recession, boom, or bust, is to know your numbers. As you know your numbers, you also know there

596: Business Recession Planning

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/08/30

Recession chatter is at a continuous buzz due to the identification of predictive recession markers in the same way that hurricane preparation chatter would be abuzz if weather forecasters identified the predictive markers of a hurricane. Where I live in the lowcountry of South Carolina, we went through a four year stretch where we were either brushed or directly hit by severe hurricanes. The storms were no fun, and in some cases deadly. In advance of those storms weather forecasters and government

595: How do you delegate the impossible?

2022/08/22

Every time we dive into our delegation roadmap with a heroic business owner, we get a bit of pushback when we tell them they only get 3-4 items that are off limits as far as delegation goes. So how do you delegate the impossible? Well, let’s dive on in… Happy Monday friends, Thomas Joyner with BoP here. It never fails, the excuses go on and on and on! That’s impossible to delegate. You don’t understand! I can’t let go of that, I can’t train someone to do all of that! We’ve heard it all. And yet

594: Who is your ideal client?

2022/08/09

We spend a lot of time here at BoP figuring out who our ideal client is. We think through what their frustrations are and how they spend their day. We look at what motivates them and how that meshes with what we offer. Is it a fit? No? How can we make it a fit? Because here’s what we know…for every person we spend an hour with who is NOT our ideal client, equals an hour that we’re not spending with someone we need to be working with. It’s that simple. So…who is your ideal client? How do we figure

You just completed the relentless and methodical work of recruiting and hiring a new team member, and you are still left with that big, expensive question, “is this new person even going to work out?” Hiring new roles and new team members always seems to be an obvious and easy solution to everyone except the person whose time, attention, and bottom line is most on the line. It’s day one for that new hire…how does the mission get the most out of that new person, and how does that new person get the

Could you leave your business for 30 days and not check-in at all? Why or maybe why not? Let’s talk about that today. Happy Monday friends, Thomas Joyner with Business on Purpose here. The litmus test for our coaching roadmap is always what we call the 30 day test. Could you leave your business for 30 days and not answer email, voicemails…whatever. What would happen to the business? Would it be able to survive? Would it limp along with quality control issues and employees aimlessly getting through

591: How To Design A New Employee Starter Pack

2022/07/28

It is the first day for your new employee. Yet most new employees for small businesses walk into their first day staring at what feels more like a rusty, duct taped operation instead of a well-oiled machine. The very first impression that a business makes on a new employee takes place during the hiring process when the business team is simply telling the then-candidate about the wonders of their business. Day one is usually the day where the new employee walks in and comes face to face with

2022/07/27

This summer, we have had multiple business owner clients physically leave the location of their business for an extended period of time (anywhere from two to four weeks). Most of these are physical location businesses, and no, this is not a fantasy…it is real life. For the most part, these owners are not spending the time away from their business simply sipping bubbly and eating bon bons. Most are staying active through the duration of their time away, and in many cases working on their own

2022/07/26

I’ve sat down with a few businesses recently for introductions and after chatting for 30 min or so, they have each said something along the lines of, “man this sounds awesome! I’d love to get through this busy summer and start up with y’all in the fall.” That’s great, so what’s going to be different in the fall? If you can’t make the time right now, what happens in the fall where things magically slow down? So, this raises the question…”When is the right time to work on your business?” That

586: How To Set Goals And Achieve Them

My Business On Purpose ·

2022/06/20

A dear friend of mine sent me a book recently simply titled Success: The Glenn Bland Method…How To Set Goals and Make Plans That Actually Work! The book was written in the 1970s and quite frankly carried and implied genre that I don’t spend much time reading (but should probably spend more time). On page 42, I was stopped when Glenn Bland wrote this about goal setting, “only 3 percent of all people have goals and plans and write them down. Ten percent more have goals and plans, but keep them in
