In this episode, Shawn and Dominic Rubino discuss:

• Staying in control of your schedule to maximize productivity
• Hiring and leading with the right attitude for success
• Identifying leaks and making a business financially strong
• Preparing early for a smooth and profitable transition

Key Takeaways:

• Business owners must proactively structure their schedules; otherwise, others will dictate their time, leading to inefficiency and burnout.
• Hiring employees with the right attitude is crucial, but leadership must set the tone by fostering a positive and productive work environment.
• Owners looking to exit must ensure their business is profitable, systemized, and not dependent on them, making it a valuable asset rather than just a job for the next owner.
• Whether selling a business or keeping it for cash flow, long-term planning ensures financial stability and the ability to retire on one’s own terms.

"If I don’t manage my time, I let other people manage it for me. And that’s the mistake that a lot of business owners get caught in." — Dominic Rubino
