Strategic Business Growth Through Incremental Improvement | Joe Curry

Wondering which goal-setting process you should use or what you should be doing in your business right now? Feeling like every other business owner knows where they’re going except you’re flying by the seat of your pants? 

Continuously Improving Your Business Operations 

Joe Curry, a CFP in Canada and the host of the “Your Retirement Planning Simplified” podcast, advocates for the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), and transparently shares how mentors have helped him expand his business vision, brave the online marketing world, and implement structured meetings and goals for each quarter.  

Long-Term Commitment and Growth in Podcasting 

While Joe is looking for his show’s continuous growth, he’s committed to producing 300 episodes before evaluating ROI on podcasting, which will give the show ample time to attract clients and prove its validity as a marketing arm for his business.

By utilizing early morning hours before his kids wake up to map out his year, quarters, months, weeks, and days, Joe stays on track with his goals. 

[00:22:48] Podcasting as a Financial Planner  

Joe knows how un-approachable financial planning is, so he began podcasting to demystify and address misconceptions and hesitations people commonly feel when it comes to money.  

[00:28:00] Long-Term Commitment and Growth in Podcasting 

By adopting a mindset focused on longevity and consistently producing valuable content, (try 300 episodes like Joe!) business owners can increase their chances of success and ultimately see a return on their investment in podcasting. 

[00:38:55] The Pursuit of Continuous Improvement and Growth 

By embracing the concept of "a better way," Joe demonstrates a commitment to growth and innovation in both his professional and personal endeavors. 

Actionable Insights 

- Implement continuous improvement in business processes 

- Dedicate time for intentional planning and prioritize tasks 

- Start a podcast for educational and approachable content marketing

As Joe aptly puts it, "Understanding what's a reasonable expectation is crucial; maybe you still measure the ROI but consider the timeline for measuring it." By setting realistic expectations and consistently refining strategies based on data-driven insights, businesses can harness the power of podcasting as a valuable marketing tool. 

Joe and I are both obsessed with business books, so this episode is full of our recommendations!
