My guest today is one of the pastors of my church, Clay Scroggins. Clay wrote a book called “How to Lead When You’re Not In Charge, Leveraging Influence When You Lack Authority.” The book is unique in several ways, it is the story of how he began to lead when he wasn’t in charge and, the reason that really caught my attention, it is a book written for all of us. Not just the leaders who are already in charge. The wisdom in this book will allow you to start taking charge of things that you may not

Being a water treater, that’s easy… Well, maybe not. However, I have found it easier than running my own business. As with everything, you don’t know what you don’t know. So, when I learn something, that I didn’t know, and it works, I want to share it with you. About 3 years ago, we started using a program at my company called EOS, The Entrepreneur Operating System. This system was introduced in a book called Traction by Gino Wickman. Gino explains that EOS is like an operating system you

I don’t have time to do the things I need to do! Ever heard this? I’m sure you’ve not just heard it, you’ve said it! And you probably heard someone tell you to work smarter not harder. This advice sounds great, but how do you do it? What is “working smarter? I say working smarter is letting someone or something do your work for you. Think of how long calculations used to take in the dawn of the space program. Now how long do they take? The equations are solved almost instantly because of

The topic that surrounds most of the question I receive are about tests kits and testing in general. Ever since I shared with the Scaling UP!

Our guest today is Harland Pond of AquaPheonix Scientific. Harland manufactures the test kits now, but he once used them in the field as a fellow water treater. This gives Harland a

Well, I'm willing to bet that we have many things in common but the one I want to focus in on is we all start something new as someone new to starting that something. I know that is not very profound, but it's true. In my career I have been concerned about how someone would view my presentation or recommendation because I was: too new, too young, too...

If you’ve listened to the show for any length of time, you know I love business! Due my love of business, I study businesses in how they conduct regular transactions and issues. This can sometimes get on my wife's nerves since I'm always turning every customer service experience into a learning opportunity, just ask her... In my observations, I have noticed that successful businesses seem to rally around a core set of values that you can see throughout their entire company. I’ve also noticed the

You ask for it, so here it is… Phosphate… (Tap...Tap) Is this thing on? Yes, I said Phosphate.

I think it is safe to say that the majority of the Scaling UP! Nation! is on one or more social media platforms. I try to post news about my upcoming podcast on social media, mainly LinkedIn. Social Media is how we stay connected in today’s world. In fact, many of you found out about the Scaling UP! podcast from LinkedIn. In an effort to stay sharp for the Scaling UP!
