Shownotes
In this episode, Josh Patrick joins us for a 1-on-1 interview on the SaaS District podcast.
His specialty is helping private business owners grow and create more value in their business. He has over twenty years of experience as an adviser to private businesses. For nineteen years (1976-1995) he owned a vending and food service company, where he managed to take it from 1.5 to 90 employees before successfully selling the business. During that time he admits to having made a lot of mistakes, but now, he uses that experience as part of his advising strategy, which we share throughout the interview.
During this interview we cover:
- Business sustainability
- Lessons on how to be a better entrepreneur
- Maintaining sustainability in your business during a crisis
- Mistakes when seeking for success and financial freedom
- Setting appropriate expectations for your business
- Setting an appropriate Business strategy
- Effective hiring
- Underrated resources to grow your business
- Overcoming the “finding the right idea” hurdle and taking action
