Three Things That Are Killing Your Business and the Real Secret to Scaling with Mandy McEwen Adam Lyons

If you knew the three biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when starting their own businesses, you could avoid them.    In today’s episode, host Mandy McEwen sits down with Adam Lyons, founder and CEO of The Smart Blueprint. Adam loves acquiring new companies, but he quickly realized he was reinventing the wheel with every new acquisition. So he sat down and developed a program of SOPs, an easy-to-follow blueprint that works every time, no matter what kind of business you want to buy. Since he came up with The Smart Blueprint, he’s helped almost 2000 business owners apply them with great success. Adam believes most businesses fail because they’re making one or more of three huge mistakes.   Listen in as he walks us through those mistakes, shares practical tips for avoiding them, and tells us what to do instead.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN: How to use 3-star Amazon reviews as market research What to do with your company’s profits (that most entrepreneurs aren’t doing) Four key components to hiring the right person for your team Why you shouldn’t call your company a “family” (and what to call it instead)   LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Smart Blueprint  Connect with Adam on Facebook Connect with Adam on IG   OUR PARTNERS: 7 Levels of Scale Workbook Free training from BotBuilders Create an online store with Wix Sales and Marketing Automation with Keap Find out your Leadership Trust Score at Ready to Lead.   Thanks so much for joining us this week.
