Cash is King - Eddie Uyeta - Leaders Who Scale - Episode # 024

Some businesses start as tiny seeds and grow into strong oak trees, but not all of them succeed into trees unless you have the right employees to help water them. Today's guest is Eddie Uyeta, President and CEO of Uyeta Landscape & Maintenance. Eddie joins Jeff Siegel on Leaders Who Scale to discuss how he took over his parents landscaping business and made it grow money trees. Listen in on Eddie's tips on growing your company on every neighbor's lawn.

 

Takeaways:

• Have monthly meetings with every division to see ​how things have been and how any progress is going. It will help find any mistakes before it is too late.
• Encourage your employers to reach their goals in the company. Chime in and give advice on what they should do differently or not. Being vocal will show your employees that you care about their goals.
• In order for your company to grow, you need to have the right people working for you. If you have unfit workers, your business will fail. Look for the people who want to scale with your company.
• Try to do activities with your employees. Doing these activities together can create stronger relationships.
• Try to eliminate those “should have, would have, could have.” Focus on the now.
• Don’t always look at the big picture. It is key to focus on the “weeds” of the business to fix any little mistakes.
• Schedule mini-reviews with your employees. It is another way to coach them in any areas they need help with before mistakes happen.
