$10M+ 2 Businesses – Susie Carder, CEO | SD Consulting

$10M | Susie Carder, CEO SD Consulting, Single Mom Hairdresser to $10 Million in TWO businesses.

Susie Carder started out as a low paid hairdresser trying to support her 2 little girls but working for someone else became a challenge (to say the least). Susie decided to do whatever it took to create her own business. After much blood sweat and tears (mixed with cheap mascara) according to Susie, she went on to create, not one, but two $10 Million companies!

Cut the fat and make sure you're the meat to your clients

As a serial entrepreneur, she is no stranger to starting and scaling. Susie has built and sold 9 businesses, two were good learning experiences and expensive hobbies and the other 7 were multiple millions of dollars in revenue and exit. The two $10 Million dollar businesses were her Spa and a Training and Development Company in the Spa Industry. The first person she always hired was an operations person, they are the foundation, how do we create a business that doesn’t rely on the super star or technician? She took Lisa Nichols company from $800,000 as Lisa Nichols to $10 Million as Motivating the Masses and as Lisa Nichols said “Just do for me as you did for yourself” and that is how Susie built that business for her client. Listen in as Susie shares so much great advice for serious entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Steve, Mary, Richard, and Susie discuss:

Make your clients chemically dependent on you, offer many services to fewer clients
What are the opportunities when you reinvent yourself from a super star in one industry to unknown in another?
How do you take a personal brand and scale?
90% of Entrepreneurs are undercharging because they just make up the price, instead plan for the profit

Key Takeaways:

Can you rise above and launch in a recession?
How can I serve right now, what does the market need right now
Who is your Key Hire when starting and scaling

Best Advice I Ever Received:

Micheal Gerbers eMyth book says build it like you are going to sell it and that is exactly what she did

Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:

That there is a roadmap to building a 7-8 figure business. 88% of small business fail in the first 5 years, and only 1.7% of the businesses reach 1 million dollars in their business.

Best Advice I Ever Received:

Judgement is an emotional reaction, which clouds your thinking, diverts your focus, and steals your energy. Gaining the skill and discipline to release judgements is the single most beneficial behavior to increase your success in business and in life. = What I learned at USM

Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:

You can’t be an “A Player” and run a 10MM business. At that point you MUST be an A+ Leader, because you will no longer be doing 95% of the task type work, and you will be leading, mentoring, structuring and cultivating a culture where people step up and do their best work

Best Advice I Ever Received:

From an old man in Denver that owned lots of free and clear apartments: To buy real estate and let other people pay if off. When free and clear it would equate to “buckets of money”

Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:

Create a business plan, do a SWOT analysis, learn everything you possibly could about that potential business and barriers to entry. Look for equity investors, execute on the plan and utilize the EOS system from the book Traction to run the business like a well oiled machine.

Best Advice I Ever Received:

Best Advice I’d Give To Someone Who Wants To Build A $10m+ Business:

Narrow your focus. Most business owners try to do too many things and spread resources over too many opportunities and initiatives. The most successful companies I’ve ever built and ever coached have narrowed their resources to focus on their very best opportunities so that they put more of their best time, talent money and attention on those fewer opportunities that have a bigger impact and can make a bigger difference.

$321 Million Dollar Exit From Restaurant Delivery, Will Moore CEO of Moore Momentum

$321 Million Dollar Exit, Will Moore | Restaurant Delivery | Moore Momentum

$321 million exit: doorstep delivery. Imagine having WIll Moore’s ”nothing can stop me” attitude, and wondering what kind of problems do people have right now, that need to be solved. But it wasn’t always that way, rewind to college where he described himself as having a typical victim attitude until a serendipitous event changed his life forever. Now he’s the guy known for catching sight of and observing trends, in a big way.

Rolling back a few years; he had graduated from Rollins College and was enjoying success in real estate. Looking for trends and problems that needed solving. The answer flashed, the need for quality college-friendly housing. Arise Rollins Rentals, the solution for his alma mater and the momentum for his financial success.

Business was booming. Like many, he was working long hours and ordering a lot of take out. Takeout wasn’t new but a variety of choices were, making ordering in food a little bit sweet and a little bit sour. Tiring of Pizza or Chinese food options spawned his next venture, the restaurant industry’s first doorway delivery company.

Growth was hydrated with influxing franchise dollars and gobbling up small town USA delivery businesses. Fast food forward a decade to cash out at $321Million!

Will’s latest message is ripe today. When the current climate is one where, the rubber meets the road. Whether you’re speaking your truth, taking the moral high ground or worried about alienating people, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. But it makes us who we are, and it’s part of our core.

What he knows for sure? Money is not the secret to happiness. In fact, Will believes our greatest entrepreneurial business is one’s life. Balancing mindset, emotional and physical health, building relationships and giving back to the world. Spending time with people you love and building momentum in all 5-core areas of your life.

After exiting Doorway Delivery, WIll’s purpose is to Shine his spotlight and expertise into the latest trend of self awareness. Will has discovered financial and career makes up only 1⁄5 of our happiness quotient. Real happiness requires us to fire on all cylinders in the 5-core areas of life. The first part is building momentum; and he offers a gamified experience that helps one stop the failure habits in each of the five core areas of their life, replacing them with success habits. The second: teaches how to use your five cores so you too, can fire on all cylinders.

In this episode, Steve, Mary, Richard, and Will discuss
