EP 065: Personal Profit Killers

Last week I released a podcast on business profit killers.

This week, I want to talk about how YOU and YOUR life can destroy your business’s profits.

I am no exception to this.
Let me share a story from last week…

One of the things I love to do when I finish work for the day is play with my three-year-old son, Jack.

He is going through a truck stage atm.

So when I’m done with business for the day, I will come out of my office and head straight to him.

We have a large playmat with his trucks, blocks, and a heap of kid’s tools.

Now on this day, we decided his dump truck needed a “tune-up”.
He was concerned the wheels were not on correctly and we needed to fix it now!

Of course, I was all in on this mission.

As we lay down on the mat and began the repair work, Jack grabbed a screwdriver and started adjusting the wheel.

He then put that screwdriver in his mouth while he spun the wheel on the truck.

The wheel was spinning beautifully now that we had tuned it up.

He then took that screwdriver and put it in my mouth.

When he did it, I knew what was going to happen.

I was about to lose the rest of my week to sickness.

And sure enough, it turned into a complete wipeout event.

I lost my voice to a throat infection and could not speak for three days.

In those three days, I got nothing done in business.
I also had to cancel podcast recordings.

It has also made this week carnage as I am still attempting to catch up.

Here is a photo of the truck and screwdriver that got me!

Anyhow, what I want you to take from this…

The choices I made in my personal life directly impacted the profits of my business.
The time I lost being sick and the week after

Now, I’m not saying don’t have kids or don’t have a personal life

But you can certainly mitigate things that lead to getting sick or coming to business run down.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, Grant and I discuss the PERSONAL profit killers.

The things you do in your personal life to destroy profits.
