    w/Terry Begue Author Attract & Keep Customers For Life

    w/Terry Begue Author Attract & Keep Customers For Life

    My guest Terry Begue - 43 year painting contractor and author of Attract and Keep Customers for Life, Shares his insights into how he grew his painting business from being an 18 year old know nothing kid into a powerhouse and sustainable business. His approach to the customer experience, team building and niche approach has enabled him to continue to grow his business year after year, and for the last nine years has done it without ad spend.  He shares true gems on how he does it. You'll enjoy this conversation as the two of us share our life long contractor experiences and approaches to attracting customers and keeping them for life.

    Terry Begue:
    Terry Begue is living proof that every single one of us has the ability to overcome our challenges and create the most extraordinary life we can imagine. 

    Terry started his painting business fresh out of high school with no money, no experience, no connections and no skills. Armed with nothing more than a pick-up truck and a dream. He spent years refining his painting skills only to discover no matter how good he became he was just another painter in an overcrowded market. 

    Refusing to settle, he stopped working on his painting skills and began perfecting his people skills. Learning what motivates people to buy, and taking away the reasons why they wouldn’t buy, and his business blew up! He more than doubled his income in just six months and over the next year, doubled it again!

    Since then, Terry has fine-tuned his process for business and personal growth, into an easy to follow, four step system. His proven system has allowed his company to grow year after year, even though he hasn’t advertised since 2012!

    Today, Terry is an international speaker and author of, “Attract & Keep Customers for Life: Four Abilities to Build Trust, Communicate Your Value and Charge What You’re Worth” 

    He is currently busy working on a brand-new course to give even greater access and insight to his proven strategies in an effort to help as many people as he can fulfill the unlimited potential that lies within them. It will launch in early 2021.

    W/Intuition Expert Sunil Godse

    W/Intuition Expert Sunil Godse

    This was a fascinating interview with Intuition Expert Sunil Godse. Sounds odd on the surface but after listening to Sunil you'll see the power of the intuition tool we all have. This isn't just mindset and fairy dust. It is based and backed with science and is certainly a tool you can use daily to run your business better. I encourage you to listen to this and follow Sunil at the links below.

    After making a series of bad decisions, with one leading to a friend being shot and killed, Sunil Godse spent thousands of hours on research and interviews to find out that the reason we waste time making bad decisions is because we ignore our intuition, a subconscious phenomenon that we are all born with that helps us make the right decision at the right time in any situation we find ourselves in.

    Sunil developed a seven step process that shows you how to sharpen your intuition so that the only decisions you make are the right ones in any situation that move your life forward.

    w/Mike Sarraille & George Randle - The Talent War

    My Guests Mike Sarraille and George Randle are the authors of The Talent War... How special operations and great organizations win on talent. Utilizing their extensive years in service with the US military special operations teams they bring a unique look at winning with talent. We discuss the book in detail and I must say it is one of the finest books ever written on the subject of recruiting and training talent for business. I loved this interview and have also made the book required reading in the ETOP Academy. Right after you finish listening to this episode you need to purchase the book. You won't regret it!
    Mike Sarraille is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, founder and board of director for the VETTED Foundation, a 501(c)3 Veteran executive education platform, a graduate of the University of Texas McCombs Business School, and a leadership instructor and strategic advisor for Echelon Front, a management consulting firm. Mike served fifteen years as an officer in the SEAL Teams and five years in the U.S. Marine Corps as an enlisted Recon Marine and Scout-Sniper before receiving his commission in the Navy. Mike served in SEAL Team THREE, Task Unit Bruiser alongside Extreme Ownership authors Jocko Willink and Leif Babin where he led major combat operations that played a pivotal role in the Battle of Ramadi in 2006. Mike again deployed with Task Unit Bruiser in 2008 and led historic combat operations in Sadr City during the Battle of Route Gold. Following his return, Mike assumed duties as the primary leadership instructor for all officers graduating from the SEAL training pipeline, taking over that role from Leif Babin. Mike was then selected for assignment to the Joint Special Operations Command where he completed multiple combat deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Mike is a recipient of the Silver Star, six Bronze Stars, two Defense Meritorious Service Medals, and a Purple Heart. Mike continues to participate as a Veteran Transition subject matter expert on panels across the nation.
    George Randle is an experienced veteran, coach, mentor and hands-on leader known for selecting, building, and reorganizing teams to reach their full potential. George combines 20+ years of Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 global Human Resources and Talent Acquisition Executive experience enabling individuals, teams and organizations achieve consistent and impactful outcomes. He is Hogan (HPI, HDS and MVPI) Leadership Assessment Certified.
    George began his professional life by enlisting in the USAR. While serving in the USAR he received his Bachelor’s Degree from Missouri State University and a commission as an Active Duty Army Officer through ROTC. His career assignments included the US Army Berlin Brigade, US CENTCOM and III Corps with deployments to Africa, Central America and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Over the course of his active duty time, he was privileged to serve in key leadership assignments – twice as a Platoon Leader, as the Executive Officer for the largest company in Berlin and finally 2 years as a Company Commander at Ft. Hood, Texas.

    After his many successful leadership roles, George transitioned to the corporate world, experiencing many of the same challenges Veterans face today. It was these challenges that provided the inspiration for him to create the first Junior Military Officer Hiring Program for a Top-5 consulting firm. George later went on to create one of the largest and most successful Veteran Hiring Programs for a Global Fortune 50 firm. In both instances, these programs resulted in the employer being ranked as a Top 100 Military Friendly Employer. For the last 20 years, concurrently with his roles as a Talent Acquisition Executive, George has trained and coached 1000’s of Veterans on interviewing and career search skills.

That’s where true happiness happens, and that’s what Wayne Sutton wants for YOU too.

     

    It took Wayne a while to find success. Seemingly stuck in jobs that were draining his soul, Wayne made a bold decision, and set out to create a better life for him and his family – a life he’d always dreamed of.

     

    Wayne firmly believes that everyone deserves happiness, and his passion is drawing that out of each and every person he works with. See,  he knows how to make a ton of money in business, but he also knows that if a person is not grounded in what makes THEM truly happy… then all the money in the world will never be enough.

    People who meet Wayne and interact with him are instantly hit with his enthusiasm and love of life and success. Wayne’s main focuses at the moment are sharing his message of how to be authentic in business as a life coach, assisting others to build their passion, and one-on-one business mentoring.

     

    Wayne has a magnetic and engaging personality that you literally get swept along with – which is great, because you are the product of the people you hang around with. So, contact Wayne and get the success you’re searching for!
