The Path to 7-Figure Passive Ownership + We’re Hiring
Podcast 50:06 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
Today’s guest is one of Dan’s favorite people to talk business with. Justin Tan grew his productized video-editing agency to 7 figures in 2 years and “retired” in 4. Now he helps burnt-out mid-6-figure agency owners become 7-figure passive owners without the 60-hour workweek grind.
Join Dan and Justin as they geek out on the pumpkin plan, the trouble with blindspots, and some common mistakes business owners make.
Justin just so happened to give Dan and Ian some pro bono consulting last summer in Barcelona, so they’ll chat about how that advice is panning out…
Plus, we’re hiring an Events Manager to help us take our global community events to the next level. Head to dynamitejobs.com to apply or refer a friend.
“You keep on promoting people you are familiar with because you like that dynamic. You are familiar with that dynamic. I am their boss, I tell you what to do. But at some point, you need to make that mentality switch. And this goes back to the operator owner where I tell them what to do. Instead, it needs to be they tell me what to do or what is needed, and I am the one who enables them to do that.”
LISTEN AND LEARN:
14:59 Focus on the customers who value you more than others do
19:05 Hire somebody who has been there, done that
26:35 Let them tell you what needs to be done, and empower them to do it
31:23 If you don’t resonate with your target market, it could be a limiting factor
39:51 Thoroughly evaluate the opportunity vehicle before you get in the driver’s seat
