117 | Austin Trudeau | How I Beat My Yearly Goal of $300,000 as a Student Painter

In today’s show, Chris interviews Austin Trudeau, Marketing Graduate Student & Business Coach at Student Works Management Program.

Austin, our very first guest podcast guest is back to share his Student Works experiences. When Austin was here the first time, he shared his goal of running a $300,000 painting business. In today’s show, Austin shares how he easily surpassed his goal by clocking a revenue of $343,000. So, how did exactly did Austin achieve this audacious goal?

In the first segment of the show, Austin shares how he evolved into a better leader and manager in this second year of running a painting business. Contrary to popular perception, listeners will learn that once you master some crucial management skills, running a large-scale business is NOT more difficult than running a small business.

In this second year, apart from running a large scale business, Austin is also coaching young entrepreneurs.  What prompted Austin to take this decision? Has this new role helped Austin evolve into a better leader? He shares his immense satisfaction on grooming first-year students and reveals how he eventually intends to transition to full-time coaching & consulting.

In this segment, listeners will learn how creating an accountability network can help you hit your goals.

We also talk a bit about time management and prioritization. This is an area that many folks, including high-performing ones, struggle with. If you are prone to procrastinating mundane but necessary tasks, you will find this segment of the show particularly useful.

Towards the end, we share some crucial attributes that can help you evolved into a “Leader of Tomorrow”.

For all this and much, much more, tune in to our latest show now!
