204: Risk, Resolve, Results, Harry Haywood - The Entrepreneur Gene

“I'm guilty of having always had the feeling of being proud, but not satisfied with my accomplishments. Once I get to one goal, I’m ready to move on to the next.” - Harry Haywood

Host Laurie Barkman chats with Harry Haywood, President of HBS Solutions Inc. Harry shares insights on the importance of resilience, creativity, and overcoming criticism. With over 15 years of experience, he discusses the challenges of managing growth, building a strong leadership team, and the significance of time management. Harry also delves into his passion for energy efficiency and the evolving industry standards.

Takeaways:

~Learn to maximize your productivity by valuing your time more, especially if you don’t have many personal responsibilities early in your entrepreneurial journey.

~Don’t try to handle everything yourself. Document processes, assign responsibilities, and ensure checks and balances are in place. This helps in managing growth more efficiently.

~Use a systematic approach to track progress towards goals in various aspects of your life, not just business-related but also personal, physical, and spiritual.

~Implement systems and processes to manage the complexities of business operations. Utilize third-party or customized tools to align the team and streamline workflows.
