Key Talking Points

• The business started in a garage 
• 2015- 3 locations, now 5 total in 6 years
• “Clone ourselves” as owners- becoming mentors and teaching and facilitating growth in business. Leadership team being involved in opening stores and growing it instead of it solely being owners responsibility.  
• Expansions- fulfilling team’s goals and dreams, running over capacity, demand was there with a growing population 
• Being involved in mentor coaching groups for multi-shop owners- you don’t know what you don’t know, receive information, and be more efficient. Missed opportunities are very expensive. 
• Banking relationships- important to choose the right type of bank for business, discuss the future and where you’re heading,  if they have the buy-in for your dreams then they become your cheerleader
• Next on way- working with the leadership team and continue to create high-level processes, looking for next opportunity within 6 months to 1 year. 
• AAPEX 2021- taking 8 employees. Essential education, it is eye-opening to see the industry isn’t just in a small area, networking  
• Finding talent for business- often times talent finds you when they see an opportunity
