14: Getting Out of Your Own Way in Business with Steven Bousquet
Steven Bousquet joins Dr. Sabrina on today's episode of Profit by Design Podcast after returning, very relaxed, from a 4 Week Vacation vacation. (He made the 4 Week Vacation Pledge at the last retreat held at Dr. Sabrina's home, The Entrepreneur's Retreat Centre.) And the truth of it is that this wasn't even his first 4 Week Vacation. He's had many of them before! So, as you can see, Steven is doing a lot of things right in his business and there's a lot we can learn a lot from him. On the show today he talks to Dr. Sabrina about how he has grown his business quite considerably over the last few months, by acquiring another business. And how, with all of this going on, he still managed to take a 4 Week Vacation.
Steven describes himself as a blue-collar executive and his business is American Landscape and Lawn Science. He founded S&B Lawn and Garden Care in 1983, while still in high school. After graduating from college with a BA in Economics, he changed the name of his landscaping company to American Landscape Service. In 1991, Steven added Lawn Science to the company to form American Landscape and Lawn Science LLC.
Today, Steve and Dr. Sabrina have a though-provoking conversation about getting out of your way in business. Steve talks about how he is continuing to improve his business by making sure that it is not dependent on any one person. He also shares the changes he has made in his business over the last three years, based on what he's learned from the books such Profit First and Pumpkin Plan by Mike Michalowicz. Today's show is going to be a real eye-opener for you!
