In this episode, we delve into a critical question: Does employee tenure enhance value in the home inspection and service sector? Discover the key factors that contribute to an inspector's long-term value, emphasizing the significance of staying informed, continuous learning, and fostering individual growth within the industry.

Do your inspectors actually want to grow? That's one thing that I always look out for. Inspectors that don't engage with your team are not going to stay the most valuable and the most seasoned for long. It's up to us as business owners to put systems in place to continue to challenge people, to continue to keep them being excited about their job.

In this podcast episode, Jeff discusses the importance of growth and outgrowing certain aspects of our lives, both in business and personal relationships. He emphasizes the need to create an environment where employees and friends can grow and encourages self-reflection to extend ourselves the same grace we offer to others.

Jeff shares his experience as a business owner in the home inspection industry and highlights the importance of understanding what we want as business owners and for our organizations. He explains his role in helping candidates align their goals with the company's and emphasizes the significance of hiring decisions for employees. Jeff discusses the importance of creating an environment that fosters personal growth for employees, citing one of their core values as "hungry for growth".

This podcast episode explores the benefits and process of implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in service industry businesses. Brett emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between the purity of the system and adaptability to individual business needs. They also highlight patience, mindset alignment, and creating a positive atmosphere as crucial components for success.

Implementers of EOS have three main roles: teaching the system, facilitating its integration with the business, and coaching the team throughout the process. The standard timeline for implementing EOS is approximately two years, with most clients reaching the finish line and maintaining their progress afterward. Patience is crucial when building a self-sustaining business. Implementing EOS can help businesses increase profit and leave no capabilities on the table.
