Don't miss out on our latest podcast featuring a special guest who shares invaluable insights for business success. In this episode, Troy asked Brian Will, the founder of Brian Will based in United States of America, the final five questions: What does Brian think is the most challenging aspect of expanding a small business? You're going to have to check your ego and get out of your own way if you're going to grow because the reality is that if you're growing your first business, you don't know what you're doing. Brian acknowledges that this can be difficult, but he emphasizes the importance of it. And that's why you need a coach and a mentor.” Brian’s favorite business book is a. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and b. Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, and c. the E-Myth. Additionally, he emphasizes the value of lifelong learning by encouraging readers to read books and listen to podcasts that can advance their knowledge whether or not they hold a degree. Regarding professional development, Brian finds immense value in listening to positive business podcasts including podcasts by Bradley and Ed Mylett that discuss how to grow, and how to keep yourself out of trouble. Brian suggests an effective tool for small business growth is mastering accounting, getting a good mentor, and a good CRM system. He also has tools that he developed for his business that allow him to track everything inside the restaurant chain. The last thing Brian would tell himself if he could go back in time is to be patient and to keep going no matter how many times he falters since, in the end, there will always be fruit in all hard effort.
