Why You’re Still Stuck in the Day-to-Day (And How to Break Free)

If you’re a founder or business leader still caught in the weeds—managing calendars, answering emails, and putting out fires—you’re not alone. But staying stuck in the day-to-day is not the cost of building a successful company.

In a recent episode of Scale Smart, Grow Fast, host Harley Green sat down with Ken Wimberly, founder of Laundry Luv and a serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience. Ken has mastered the art of scaling with systems, service, and soul—without burning out.

Here’s what you’ll learn from his journey—and how you can apply it today.

🚧 The Trap: Doing Everything Yourself

Ken’s early entrepreneurial days were all hustle, no structure. Like many founders, he thought doing it all was the only way to succeed.

The breakthrough came when he realized: you can’t scale if you’re the bottleneck.

🧰 The Tools That Changed Everything

To escape the grind, Ken implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS)—a game-changing framework that helped him align his team, define roles, and lead with clarity.

He also built a powerhouse team of virtual executive assistants. One VA has been with him for over 12 years, helping run four different companies.

“If you don’t have an assistant, you are the assistant.” – Ken Wimberly

💡 Daily Huddles = Daily Clarity

Ken starts each day with a 15-minute huddle to align priorities and check in personally with his team. These meetings, inspired by Dan Martell’s Buy Back Your Time, are followed by focused 1-on-1s.

Short. Consistent. Game-changing.

🕒 Calendar Blocking = Time Ownership

Ken “weaponizes” his calendar using color-coded time blocks for deep work, family, strategy, and more. His VAs overlay this framework to protect his focus and maximize every hour.

📈 KPIs That Reflect Purpose

At Laundry Luv, impact is more than a buzzword—it’s a business metric. His team tracks:

  • 📚 Books given to kids
  • ❤️ Lives positively touched
  • 🛠️ Community engagement initiatives

Because when your business is built to serve, the profits follow naturally.

🔄 Want to Scale Without Burnout?

If you’re tired of being the bottleneck:

  • Build systems like EOS
  • Hire before you’re “ready”
  • Empower your team with clarity
  • Track what really matters
  • Start small—with a daily huddle

Harley Green:
Hey everybody. Welcome back to Scale Smart, Grow Fast. Today we’re going to talk about what if scaling a business didn’t mean burning out or compromising your values? Today’s guest, Ken Wimberly, is proof that growth doesn’t have to come at the cost of your soul. He’s the founder of Laundry Luv, a modern community-centered laundromat brand, and a serial entrepreneur who spent 20 years building scalable businesses rooted in legacy, leadership, and purpose. In this episode, you’ll learn how to systemize for freedom, lead with clarity, and grow a business that makes you proud. Ken, welcome to the podcast. Maybe you can tell us a little bit more about your background as an entrepreneur.

Ken Wimberly:
Hey Harley, thanks for having me. I’ve been looking forward to this. Entrepreneurially, it’s almost all I’ve ever done. I spent a short stint in the Navy in the middle of college. When I graduated, I had my first and only two jobs. One was in the insurance and investment business. From there, I launched a pizza startup. It wasn’t a full franchise, more like a quasi-licensed brand. It failed, oddly, because of real estate issues, which is ironic since I spent the next 20 years in real estate.

After that failure, I worked briefly for about a year as a GM at a restaurant. Then it was into the rest of my entrepreneurial career, which for decades was in the commercial real estate business. I started as a broker in land brokerage, then moved into investment sales. Through that, I got affiliated with the Keller Williams Network, ended up becoming a Keller Williams franchise owner, and started buying real estate. That led to buying a shopping center. We were looking for tenants and realized it would be ideal for a laundromat. We tried to find a laundromat operator and couldn’t, so my partners and I decided to become the operator ourselves. That was the beginning of Laundry Luv.

We wanted to do something different. Laundromats were often gross, dingy, unstaffed, not places for families. We wanted to be the opposite. We aimed to be the family-friendly laundromat—the Chick-fil-A of laundromats. So we created dedicated children’s play spaces in every location. We bring in books, promote childhood literacy, read to kids, and give away books. We do something for our communities every single month. It’s been a blessing—a way to make an impact, have purpose, and build a thriving business.

Harley Green:
That’s an amazing story. I love how it sounds like you learned from some of the challenges or failures that you faced early on, pivoted, took that knowledge, and then made it your special skill or unique advantage. I’d love to hear, what are some of the turning points you experienced with your approach to scaling business?

Ken Wimberly:
One of the most important is the team. Having the right people in the right seats doing the right things is imperative. We’ve got both a physical and virtual team. Virtually, we have team members from around the world. Physically, I’m in Fort Worth, Texas. My partner’s in Austin. We have team members and stores in multiple cities. COVID helped everyone embrace remote work and how to build remote teams. That’s been a game changer.

The other big thing is implementing EOS—the Entrepreneurial Operating System. Not just dabbling, but full-on implementation. We hired an EOS implementer who comes in quarterly. We use all the tools properly. It has streamlined our business, helped define the right seats, identify the right people, and assess whether they want the job, can do the job. It’s been a huge win.

Harley Green:
I love that you brought that up because one of the questions I was going to ask was what systems you use for your hybrid teams. You’ve got people all over the world and you answered it with EOS. That’s something we’ve also implemented. I also love how when we were coordinating this podcast, you immediately brought in one of your executive assistants. I’d love it if you could share your thoughts on leveraging executive assistants for founders and business leaders. A lot of people think it’s easier to do it themselves or don’t want to give up access to their inbox. What are your thoughts?

Ken Wimberly:
The first hire we need to make is the executive assistant. If you don’t have an assistant, you are the assistant. Managing your inbox alone is hours of time. My calendar too. That’s been harder for me to give away, but now during my morning huddle with my EA, I just say, “Davidson, add this, change this, move this meeting.” It saves so much time.

He coordinates everything. Instead of emailing back and forth to change a meeting, Davidson handles it. That alone saves hours. But there’s more—Davidson is a master at graphic design. That’s his core skill set. He handles my presentations, branding materials, and more. Right now, he’s building a brand book for Laundry Luv. He’s so good. Sure, I could do it, but it would take forever and wouldn’t be nearly as good. My time is better spent on deep thinking and vision for the company.

He also manages my social media. I was telling him yesterday—it’s like listening to my own voice when he posts. He watches my podcasts, listens to my language, and uses AI tools for clips. He’s become that good. Then there’s Melissa, my first VA hire 12 years ago. She’s now my wife’s primary EA. She’s been with us through four companies. Melissa and Davidson are like family to me. Every morning, we do a huddle: me, my wife, and our two VAs. We each share something we’re grateful for, then the three main priorities for the day, and if we need help. Then we go into our 1:1s—me with Davidson, my wife with Melissa.

We use Dan Martell’s “Buy Back Your Time” format. The 30-minute morning structure gets us aligned and moving fast. It’s been crucial. I can’t say enough about the importance of bringing on a VA or EA.

Harley Green:
I love that you brought up morning huddles and check-ins. Many people struggle with VAs because they don’t do regular check-ins. They treat them like a black box. I’m curious—what strategies or mindset shifts helped you build trust with your team and allow them to take ownership?

Ken Wimberly:
It’s an evolution. Like with any hire, they come in not knowing anything. They need to be trained. When I first hired Melissa, I wasn’t great at training her. But once I had an in-house admin take over her training, it got way better. When Davidson came on, Melissa trained him. Every team member needs proper training and oversight. The daily huddles are critical. I didn’t use to do them, but I’ve learned to implement them. I also R&D a lot—rip off and duplicate. If I see a model working, I adopt it.

My partner Skyler had another great system—Friday one-on-ones with each team member. It’s a check-in: how are they doing personally, with family, health, etc. If something’s wrong, that’s all we focus on—how to help. If things are good, we move on to weekly goals, what got done, communication, and support needs. It’s not robotic—I know the questions, and we have a natural conversation. Sometimes I lead, sometimes my wife. It builds a deeper relationship beyond just business.

Harley Green:
I’m glad you brought up checking in with employees on a personal level because so many times that side isn’t talked about. There’s often no natural opportunity to bring it up in traditional business meetings, and that can lead to negative performance, burnout, or turnover. As business owners, there are often simple solutions—time off, a small adjustment, support—that can make a huge difference. We’ve seen major improvement in our business by doing the same thing.

Speaking of balance and helping people, you’ve got a lot going on. In addition to Laundry Luv, you’re still active as a commercial real estate investor. How do you balance your time between your different endeavors?

Ken Wimberly:
The first thing I do is weaponize my calendar. Everything goes on it. If someone looked at my calendar, it might overwhelm them, but for me it creates clarity. I know exactly what I’m supposed to be doing at any given time. Most of my time is spent on Laundry Luv. We’re growing, franchising, building stores, and supporting franchisees, so it requires a lot of focus.

I still do real estate investments with partners, but I don’t do brokerage anymore. I do maintain referral relationships because people still see me as the real estate guy. Again, it all goes on the calendar. It’s color-coded—Laundry Luv, real estate, personal, family. Date nights with my wife are on there. My kids’ sports events are on there. Everything is intentional.

Davidson helps manage my calendar. He knows what’s coming in and how to prioritize it. I also mapped out what I call my ideal calendar. I took this from Dan Martell. I mapped out everything—from my early morning personal routine, workouts, family time, deep work blocks, and flex time.

Davidson has this overlay of my ideal calendar, so he knows not to schedule meetings during deep work time. That alone took a few hours to build, but once it was done, everything started flowing better.

Harley Green:
I love that. We do something similar with time blocking. How often do you revisit that ideal calendar? Do your priorities shift enough that you need to adjust it, or does it give you enough flexibility?

Ken Wimberly:
There’s enough flexibility built in. The reality of my calendar doesn’t always match the ideal perfectly. Some days require full-day commitments, travel, or discovery days. But the ideal calendar serves as a guide. When I’m traveling or in all-day meetings, that takes priority. Having a framework helps me return to balance faster.

Harley Green:
You mentioned EOS earlier, so I’m sure you’re big on KPIs. What are some of your favorite metrics that tell you when systems are working—or when something’s off?

Ken Wimberly:
EOS has been incredible for that. As a team, we defined the KPIs that truly matter. We revisit them annually to make sure they’re still relevant. For my role, it’s about pipeline—how many people are active and how many are moving toward meaningful engagement.

Because we’re community-focused, we also track impact. We track how many books each store gives away to children every week. We track how many lives we’ve positively touched. That wasn’t always on the scorecard, but we realized if it’s important, we should measure it. Our store managers report these numbers weekly, and it’s powerful.

Harley Green:
I’d love for you to share one of those stories—how you’ve impacted lives in the community and what effect that’s had on the business.

Ken Wimberly:
One example is our Thanksgiving dinner giveaway. We give $50 grocery gift cards so families can have a Thanksgiving meal. We hear stories every year from people who say they wouldn’t have had Thanksgiving dinner without it.

Every August, we do back-to-school backpack giveaways. With our vendors’ support, we provide hundreds of backpacks filled with supplies. Families line up outside the store. Kids are excited, parents are relieved. It’s incredibly meaningful.

Another story that always moves me involves Clay, our first store manager and now Director of Facilities. We call him the Minister of Love. One day, he noticed a customer who was visibly upset. The man was being evicted and his truck was broken down. Clay didn’t hesitate. He spent hours helping him move his belongings so they wouldn’t be lost. Clay is in his 60s, moving furniture without question. Stories like that happen every week. Sometimes it’s just showing up, seeing people, and doing something small that makes a big difference.

Harley Green:
That’s incredibly inspiring. For those listening who might be interested in Laundry Luv, what makes an ideal franchisee or operator?

Ken Wimberly:
We look for people who want to work with a team and appreciate structure and systems. You don’t have to do it alone, but you do need to be aligned with leadership and service. Some business or leadership experience helps—marketing, accounting, operations. Veterans are a great fit for us. My partner and I are veterans, and we support them heavily.

This is a profitable business, but profit isn’t our first driver. We believe in doing good by doing good. The more good we do, the more good comes back.

Harley Green:
We feel the same way. As we wrap up, what’s one shift business leaders can make this week to free up their time and feel more in control?

Ken Wimberly:
Get comfortable with delegation. Ask your team to bring three potential solutions when they bring you a problem. That teaches them to think critically and solve problems on their own. Over time, you stop being the bottleneck, and the business starts running smoothly.

Harley Green:
Ken, where can listeners connect with you and learn more about Laundry Luv?

Want to Scale Smarter? Start With Your Metabolism

Want to Scale Smarter? Start With Your Metabolism

If you’re constantly chasing more productivity, clearer thinking, and stronger leadership—your calendar isn’t the first place to look. It’s your metabolism.

On the Scale Smart, Grow Fast podcast, fitness and performance coach Nate Palmer dropped a game-changing truth: your energy is your greatest scaling tool. And it’s built in the first hour of your day.

Listen to the full conversation on your favorite platform:
[Spotify] | [Apple Podcasts]

Here’s the problem:

Most entrepreneurs push health to the back burner. They think fitness costs too much time. Nate disagrees—and proves the opposite. When your body performs at a high level, so does your business. Period.

The Energy-First Framework

Nate coaches high-performing founders using his Million Dollar Body Method. It’s simple, repeatable, and designed for people who don’t want to track calories or live in the gym. Here’s the foundation:

1. Rethink Breakfast
Skip the sugar spikes and start your day with protein + healthy fats. A low-carb, high-protein breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar and eliminate that mid-afternoon crash. (Think whey protein shake + peanut butter instead of oats or cereal.)

2. Win Your First 10 Minutes
Nate’s 4-minute routine to boost metabolism, mindset, and momentum:

  • Big glass of water
  • 60 seconds of movement (jumping jacks, bike, etc.)
  • One gratitude message
  • 10 deep breaths

It’s not about optimization. It’s about ownership.

3. Shift Your Identity
Tired of starting and stopping? Nate emphasizes identity over motivation. You don’t need to “get motivated.” You need to become the kind of person who does what they say they will. Start small. Build trust with yourself.

4. Drop the All-or-Nothing Thinking
You don’t need a cold plunge, a sauna, and a 90-minute workout. You need momentum. Walking, sleeping better, eating smarter—these aren’t fluff. They’re the fundamentals.

Why It Matters for Founders

When you feel good in your body, everything else sharpens. Sales calls. Team meetings. Strategic thinking. And yes, even how you show up at home.

The reality? Energy isn’t optional—it’s your edge.

Want to Multiply Your Energy—and Free Up Your Time?

You don’t need to do this alone. Our AI-leveraged executive assistants at Workergenix can help manage your meals, habits, routines, and even track your goals while you focus on leading.

How Growth-Minded Leaders Are Using AI to Scale Smarter—Not Harder

How Growth-Minded Leaders Are Using AI to Scale Smarter—Not Harder

In today’s fast-changing business world, ignoring AI isn’t just risky—it’s costly. On the latest Scale Smart, Grow Fast podcast, Mike Todasco, former PayPal innovation leader and visiting fellow at SDSU’s AI Research Center, broke down how business owners can future-proof their companies by embracing AI now, not later.

Want the full breakdown and real-world strategies? Listen to the full episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and hear how AI is transforming executive support.

Why AI Is a Business Advantage—Not Just a Buzzword

AI isn’t just hype—it’s giving non-engineers executive-level leverage. Mike explains that tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini offer what used to cost companies six figures per employee. Now, for just $20/month, any business owner can streamline operations, get instant brainstorming support, automate workflows, and make better decisions faster.

The problem? Too many leaders dabble. “If you’re just playing around with AI occasionally, you’re falling behind,” Mike says. True leverage comes when AI is embedded into everyday processes—from note-taking and email to decision support and strategic planning.

Overcoming the #1 Barrier: Leadership Buy-In

Most business owners delay adoption due to fear, complexity, or not knowing where to start. Mike’s advice? Don’t overthink it. Pick one tool and start using it daily. Create a culture where your team is encouraged to test AI, share wins, and improve together.

At Workergenix, for example, our virtual executive assistants not only understand AI—they use it to triple productivity for our clients. If your team isn’t integrating AI, you’re leaving massive ROI on the table.

How to Make Smarter Decisions with AI

One practical example Mike shared: using AI as a devil’s advocate. Feed your strategy doc or sales plan into ChatGPT and ask it to challenge your thinking. It’s a fast way to identify blind spots and avoid costly mistakes—something human team members may not always do candidly.

AI Is Not Replacing Your Team—It’s Empowering Them

Mike emphasizes: AI won’t replace humans (yet), but it will replace those who don’t use it. This is especially true for executive assistants. The best virtual professionals now master AI tools to manage tasks, automate workflows, and deliver higher-level support—making them indispensable to fast-scaling businesses.

Bottom Line

AI is not the future. It’s the present. If you want to stay competitive, leaner, and smarter, now’s the time to embrace it fully.

Are You the Bottleneck Holding Your Business Back?

Are You the Bottleneck Holding Your Business Back?

As your business grows, the same strengths that helped you start it may be the very ones stalling your next level of success. On the latest episode of the Scale Smart, Grow Fast Podcast, Harley Green sits down with Sumit Gupta, serial entrepreneur and strategic leadership coach, to uncover why so many entrepreneurs unknowingly become their company’s biggest bottleneck—and how to break free.

Listen to the full conversation with Sumit Gupta on the Scale Smart, Grow Fast Podcast on your favorite platform and unlock the leadership shifts that will drive your next level of growth. 👉 Spotify | Apple Podcasts

The Hidden Leadership Trap

Sumit shares that 95% of our daily behavior is subconscious or habitual. The leadership habits that got you to $1M in revenue won’t be the ones that get you to $5M, $10M, or beyond. Growth demands new leadership behaviors—and if you’re feeling stuck, it’s often because you haven’t upgraded your leadership operating system.

Biggest blind spots entrepreneurs face:

  • Acting like the expert instead of building a team that can operate independently.
  • Overworking instead of strategically delegating.
  • Hesitating to hire strong leaders because of control or trust issues.

The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything

If your growth has plateaued, you are likely part of the problem—but that’s not a bad thing. It means you have control to change it. Sumit’s advice is to stop asking, “How do I fix this?” and start asking, “Who can help me fix this?”

Strategic delegation isn’t about giving up control—it’s about amplifying your impact.

The Importance of Slowing Down

One powerful tactic Sumit shares: Pause and breathe.
Taking intentional pauses helps leaders listen better, think more clearly, and create space for courageous conversations—something most businesses desperately need to grow.

When you slow down, you become a better listener, spot hidden opportunities, and create a culture where problems are addressed early—before they become emergencies.

Building an Organization That Scales Without You

As you grow, your real job shifts from building products or services to building the organization itself.
That means focusing on:

  • Hiring for both skill and shared values.
  • Empowering people to innovate—not just follow orders.
  • Creating systems that allow the business to thrive without micromanagement.

Bottom line:
To scale smart, you must evolve from expert to strategic leader—and that starts with working on yourself as much as you work on your business.

Ready to free yourself from bottlenecks and finally scale with less stress and more impact? Schedule a quick discovery call with us today and see how the right support can transform your growth.

Mastering Your Calendar: The Key to Productivity, Business Growth, and Work-Life Balance

by Harley GreenScale Smart, Grow Fast PodcastPosted on Comments are Disabled

Mastering Your Calendar: The Key to Productivity, Business Growth, and Work-Life Balance

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship and sales, time management isn’t just a skill—it’s the foundation for success. If your calendar isn’t aligned with your goals, chances are your productivity and profitability are suffering. In this episode of the Workergenix Mastermind Podcast, Harley Green sits down with Scott Groves, a top mortgage loan officer, coach, and entrepreneur, to uncover the secrets behind effective calendar management, lead generation, and building a sustainable business.

Your Calendar Reflects Your Priorities

Scott Groves emphasizes a powerful truth: your calendar is a reflection of your values. If something isn’t scheduled, it’s unlikely to happen. Whether it’s lead generation, business meetings, or personal commitments, what’s on your calendar dictates your outcomes. He shares a technique inspired by Gary Keller—if you’re not seeing gym time, date nights, or prospecting sessions on your schedule, you’re just wishing for success, not planning for it.

Color Coding for Clarity

One of Scott’s game-changing strategies is color-coding your calendar. By assigning different colors to revenue-generating tasks, family time, workouts, and client meetings, you can easily see if your time is being spent where it matters most. If your calendar lacks key colors (e.g., green for sales activities), it’s a red flag that adjustments are needed.

The Power of Time Blocking

Many entrepreneurs get caught up in reactive work—responding to emails, handling last-minute requests, and firefighting daily crises. Scott stresses the importance of time blocking, where dedicated slots in your calendar are reserved for focused work. Whether it’s a 60-minute lead generation session or a weekly business planning session, disciplined time blocking prevents distractions and ensures that high-impact activities are prioritized.

Handling Interruptions: The Art of ‘Interrupting Interruptions’

No matter how well-planned your calendar is, interruptions happen. Scott shares a simple yet effective strategy: when an unexpected call or task arises, quickly assess its urgency. He recommends using pre-written text responses or scheduling tools like Calendly to redirect non-urgent matters to a more convenient time, keeping your focus intact.

The Importance of a ‘Busy Time’ Block

Scott schedules dedicated time blocks for dealing with inevitable last-minute tasks. By setting aside two-hour blocks on certain days, he prevents urgent issues from derailing his entire schedule. This ensures that unexpected fires don’t force him to neglect revenue-generating activities.

Leveraging Technology for Efficiency

Technology is a double-edged sword—it can boost productivity or become a major distraction. Scott shares his approach to automation and efficiency tools:

  • Calendly for scheduling client calls
  • Pre-set text responses to minimize distractions
  • Google Calendar & Panda Planner for structured planning

The Power of Physical Planning: The Panda Planner Sales Pro

Digital tools are valuable, but Scott firmly believes in the effectiveness of a physical planner. He partnered with Panda Planner to create the Sales Pro Planner, which blends daily goal setting, gratitude exercises, and structured sales tracking. He emphasizes that writing things down creates a psychological commitment that boosts follow-through and execution.

Goal Setting and Weekly Reflection

Scott’s success is rooted in intentional goal setting. He advocates for reviewing your week every Sunday or Monday, assessing what went well and what needs improvement. He also highlights the Goal Setting Worksheet, a tool that breaks down large objectives into daily, weekly, and monthly actions, making progress more tangible and attainable.

Work-Life Balance: Designing Your Business Around Your Life

One of Scott’s biggest takeaways is designing your business around your ideal lifestyle—not the other way around. He stresses that entrepreneurs should first schedule personal priorities like vacations, gym sessions, and family time, then build their work commitments around them. Otherwise, work will expand to fill every available gap.

The Connection Tracker: Building Stronger Relationships

Relationships drive business success, and Scott’s Connection Tracker helps professionals stay on top of their key contacts. By tracking past clients, new referrals, and outreach efforts, sales professionals can ensure they’re consistently nurturing their network without letting leads slip through the cracks.

Final Thoughts

Scott Groves has built a thriving career by mastering calendar management, goal setting, and lead generation—and his strategies can transform the way you approach your business. Whether you’re a loan officer, realtor, or entrepreneur, prioritizing your calendar, setting intentional goals, and leveraging the right tools can dramatically improve your productivity and overall success.

Harley Green:
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Workergenix Mastermind Podcast! Today, we’ve got a special guest and fellow Front Row Dad, Scott Groves. Scott is a husband, father, coach, loan officer, author, podcaster, 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, and cigar aficionado.

Scott is known for his client-first approach in the mortgage industry, helping homebuyers and real estate professionals secure lending solutions that align with long-term financial goals. Beyond lending, he’s also an expert in marketing, leadership, and lead generation, coaching hundreds of loan officers to success.

Scott, thank you so much for being on the podcast today!

Scott Groves:
Hey, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it.

Harley Green:
Before we started recording, we were talking about something really interesting—the idea that if you want to know what someone truly values, you just need to look at their calendar. Can you share more about that?

Scott Groves:
Absolutely. And first off, I need you as my hype man—I love how you introduced me!

I’ve been around long enough to remember when physical day planners were the norm, and I learned something powerful from Gary Keller, founder of Keller Williams. He used to coach real estate agents by saying, “If you want to make a million dollars in real estate, show me on your calendar where you’re doing lead generation every day. If you say your family is important, show me where date nights or family time are scheduled.”

That stuck with me. Your calendar is a reflection of your values. If something isn’t scheduled, chances are it’s just wishful thinking. It’s like the saying, “A goal without a deadline is just a dream.” If you’re not intentionally making time for what’s important—whether that’s work, family, health, or personal growth—you’re just hoping it happens.

For me, proper calendar management is the key to success. I looked at my schedule before this call—I have 43 scheduled appointments this week, and I’m not overwhelmed because everything is planned out intentionally.

Harley Green:
That makes a lot of sense. What are some practical tips for business owners who want to improve their calendar management?

Scott Groves:
First, own your calendar—literally. I know people who have built their entire schedule within a company system, then switch companies and lose everything. Even if you use a corporate calendar, keep a backup in your own system.

Second, color-code your calendar. I know it sounds basic, but it makes a huge difference. I can glance at my week and immediately see if I have enough:

  • Green for money-making activities
  • Orange for coaching
  • Pink for family time
  • Blue for workouts

This makes it easy to spot imbalances—if my calendar is missing personal time or too light on lead generation, I adjust accordingly.

Harley Green:
I love that. What about handling interruptions? We all have days where a random fire comes up and blows up our schedule. How do you manage those moments?

Scott Groves:
Great question. One of my mentors, John Berghoff, taught me that if you’re a busy professional, you have to get world-class at interrupting interruptions.

For example, if I’m in a focused work block and my wife calls, I answer quickly and say, “Hey honey, I’m in the middle of something—can this wait, or should we talk tonight?” That way, I don’t ignore the call, but I also don’t let a quick chat turn into 20 minutes of lost productivity.

For business calls, I use a simple pre-written text response: “Hey, I’m in a meeting right now. Can we schedule a time to talk later? Here’s my calendar link.” Most of the time, people respect that and book a time instead of expecting immediate attention.

The key is to train people that they have full access to you—but not immediate access.

Harley Green:
That’s a great mindset shift. You mentioned Calendly—are there any other tools you swear by for productivity?

Scott Groves:
Yes! Besides Google Calendar and Calendly, I use quick text replacements on my iPhone.

For example, I type “CCC” and it automatically expands into a full, polite message saying:
“Hey, I’m in the middle of something. Your call is important to me. Can we schedule a time later?”

This saves me from typing out responses over and over.

Also, the Panda Sales Planner is a game-changer. It’s a physical planner that helps me manage my sales calls, goals, and daily priorities without distractions from my phone.

Harley Green:
That’s awesome. You mentioned something earlier about building “busy space” into your calendar. Can you explain how that works?

Scott Groves:
Sure. A lot of people’s calendars are filled with back-to-back meetings, leaving them no time to handle unexpected tasks. I intentionally block out two hours, three times a week for dealing with emergencies, last-minute emails, or urgent tasks.

If something urgent comes up at 10 AM, instead of dropping everything, I just say:
“I’ll handle this during my 2-4 PM busy time.”

By pre-scheduling time for unplanned tasks, I stay in control instead of constantly reacting to other people’s problems.

Harley Green:
That’s a great way to manage the chaos. Now, you’ve created a sales planner specifically for business owners. Can you share more about that?

Scott Groves:
Yeah! I partnered with Panda Planner to create a Sales Pro Version. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, salespeople, and business owners who need to stay organized and focused.

The planner includes:

  • Daily gratitude journaling (which helps with mindset)
  • A structured to-do list for sales calls and follow-ups
  • Sections for tracking goals and priorities

A physical planner helps you stay focused—unlike a phone or laptop, which are designed to distract you.

Harley Green:
That makes so much sense. Scott, this has been incredibly valuable. Any final advice for entrepreneurs who want to get control of their time?

Scott Groves:
Yes—plan your work around your life, not the other way around.

Start by scheduling the big things first:

  • Annual vacations
  • Date nights with your spouse
  • Workouts
  • Major business goals

Then, let work fill in the gaps. If you don’t, work will expand to take over everything, and you’ll end up missing out on the things that truly matter.

Harley Green:
I love it. Scott, thanks so much for being here! For everyone listening, we’ll include links in the show notes where you can grab Scott’s free Connection Tracker and Goal-Setting Worksheet. If you want to take control of your time, grab a Panda Sales Planner today!

Scott, where can people connect with you?

Scott Groves:
You can find me at scottgroves.com, and I’m always happy to connect on social media.

Harley Green:
Perfect. Thanks again, Scott!

From Setbacks to Success: Building a Life of Financial Freedom and Location Independence

From Setbacks to Success: Building a Life of Financial Freedom and Location Independence

In the modern world, entrepreneurship is no longer confined to an office or a specific location. For many, the dream of financial freedom and location independence has transformed from a far-fetched idea into an achievable reality. In this blog, we dive into the inspiring journey of Steve Didier, host of the Ronin Mindset Podcast, and explore the actionable strategies he’s used to redefine success.

Whether you’re looking to break free from traditional constraints or scale your business, this post provides insights that will empower you to take control of your life and business.

1. Turning Setbacks into Opportunities

Steve’s entrepreneurial journey wasn’t without challenges. From thriving in the booming Las Vegas real estate market to losing everything during the financial crash, he faced a major reset in his life. But instead of giving up, Steve saw this as an opportunity to pursue a more fulfilling life.

Key Takeaway: Sometimes setbacks are the push we need to reevaluate our goals and align our actions with what truly matters. If you’re facing challenges in your business, consider how they could serve as a stepping stone toward your bigger dreams.

2. Embracing Location Independence

After hitting the reset button, Steve sold his belongings, packed up his dog, and drove to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. From there, he began exploring life as an expat and digital nomad. His story proves that you don’t need to be a millionaire to live abroad; strategic planning and a willingness to adapt can go a long way.

Actionable Insight: If you’re considering the leap to location independence, start by researching affordable locations and tapping into online communities for support. Facebook groups and digital nomad forums can help you find rentals, navigate local regulations, and build connections.

3. Building Sustainable Revenue Streams

Steve’s first steps into entrepreneurship abroad included affiliate marketing and real estate. Leveraging his knowledge of real estate from the U.S., he began working with clients in Mexico, targeting Americans and Canadians looking for investment properties. He later transitioned to credit repair, a business born from his own need to rebuild his credit after financial struggles. This business became highly lucrative and scalable, allowing him to outsource work to virtual assistants (VAs).

Lesson for Entrepreneurs: Diversify your income streams and focus on skills you already have. Whether it’s real estate, marketing, or coaching, there are countless opportunities to monetize your expertise in a global marketplace.

4. Outsourcing for Growth

As Steve’s credit repair business grew, he realized he couldn’t do it all himself. Bringing on VAs allowed him to scale his operations efficiently. These VAs handled time-consuming tasks like client follow-ups and manual data entry, freeing him to focus on higher-value activities such as sales and marketing.

Pro Tip: Hiring virtual assistants isn’t just about saving time—it’s about increasing your earning potential. For every VA Steve hired, his income grew because he could dedicate more energy to revenue-generating activities.

5. The Importance of a Marketing Flywheel

Steve leveraged organic marketing strategies like social media to promote his business. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, he built a following and used referrals to keep his pipeline full. His approach highlights the value of creating a self-sustaining marketing flywheel that generates leads without constant intervention.

Tip for Business Owners: Don’t underestimate the power of organic marketing. Start small with consistent posts and engagement, and watch as your content works to attract more leads and referrals.

6. Designing a Business Around Your Lifestyle

One of Steve’s core principles is building a business that fits the life you want—not the other way around. For him, that meant prioritizing flexibility and eliminating tasks that tethered him to a specific location or time zone. By focusing on digital products and outsourcing operations, he created a business that allowed him to travel freely.

Ask Yourself: Is your business serving your lifestyle goals? If not, what changes can you make to align your business with your ideal life?

7. Overcoming Challenges as a Global Entrepreneur

Living abroad comes with its own set of challenges, from opening foreign bank accounts to navigating different business regulations. Steve’s advice is to treat these hurdles as experiments. Whether it’s finding alternative payment methods or building a local support network, persistence and adaptability are key.

Practical Advice: Start small. If you’re not ready to commit to a global lifestyle, try living abroad for six months in a single location. This trial period will help you decide if the lifestyle is right for you.

8. Why Take the Leap?

For Steve, living internationally isn’t just about affordability—it’s about embracing freedom. From reducing costs to experiencing new cultures, his journey underscores how stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to incredible growth.

Final Thought: Don’t let fear hold you back. As Steve says, “If it doesn’t work out, you can always go back.” The important thing is to take that first step and see where it leads.

Ready to Build Your Dream Lifestyle?

Steve’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, creativity, and strategic planning. Whether you’re considering hiring a VA, exploring life as a digital nomad, or simply looking to grow your business, the lessons from his journey can help you take actionable steps toward your goals.

Harley Green:
Welcome to the Workergenix Mastermind Podcast! I’m your host, Harley Green, and today we’re joined by a very special guest—Steve Didier. Steve is the host of The Ronin Mindset Podcast, a digital nomad, entrepreneur, and business owner with an incredible story. Steve’s journey is packed with actionable tips and strategies that can help you elevate your business, achieve financial independence, and build a life of location freedom. Steve, welcome to the show!

Steve Didier:
Thanks, Harley! I’m excited to be here and looking forward to this conversation.

Harley Green:
Steve, your background is so diverse. You’ve been a bouncer in Las Vegas, a real estate entrepreneur, and you’ve navigated the ups and downs of the real estate market crash. Then, you took a leap into the nomadic lifestyle and entrepreneurship while traveling. How did you manage this incredible transition?

Steve Didier:
It’s been quite a journey with lots of twists, turns, and even some dead ends. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. After leaving the army, I moved to Las Vegas and worked a variety of jobs, including as a personal bodyguard for A-list celebrities, a nightclub security professional, and a bartender. But I eventually grew tired of that lifestyle. I had experienced a somewhat nomadic life in the military and wanted something more fulfilling.

I started a real estate business in Las Vegas, and for a time, it was incredibly successful—Vegas was booming, and I was making great money. But despite the financial success, I felt unfulfilled. Then came the real estate market crash, and everything I had built over 12 years was wiped out. I lost my business, went through a divorce, and hit rock bottom. It was a massive reset, but in hindsight, it was a blessing in disguise.

Harley Green:
It sounds like a pivotal moment. What led you to pursue a digital nomad lifestyle?

Steve Didier:
After going through that tough period, I realized I finally had the freedom to pursue something I had always dreamed about—traveling and living abroad. I sold almost everything I owned, packed up my dog, two boxes, and a suitcase, and drove from Las Vegas to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. That’s where I began exploring the digital nomad and expat lifestyle. I started with online marketing, selling digital products, and later worked in international real estate to learn about global investments.

Harley Green:
What challenges did you face, either internally or externally, when making this leap?

Steve Didier:
Internally, one of the surprising challenges was parting with material possessions. As I was selling or donating items, I found myself struggling to let go of things that had no real value—just emotional attachments. But in the end, I can honestly say there’s nothing I regret parting with.

Externally, the logistics of living internationally can be tricky, especially with a large dog. Finding a rental, for instance, wasn’t as simple as Zillow or Craigslist. I connected with a rental agent through a Facebook group, which made the process smoother.

Harley Green:
What about managing finances and setting up a life abroad? How did you handle that?

Steve Didier:
Initially, I was able to open a Mexican bank account with a tourist visa, which isn’t possible now. For day-to-day expenses, I used my U.S. bank accounts and relied on tools like Western Union for larger transfers. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked.

Harley Green:
Once you settled in Mexico, you explored new business ventures. What did that process look like?

Steve Didier:
Before moving, I had started dabbling in affiliate marketing, which gave me the financial confidence to take the leap. I wasn’t earning much—about $1,500 a month—but it was enough to live comfortably in Mexico at the time. Later, I transitioned into real estate, focusing on helping Americans and Canadians invest in properties they could rent out on platforms like Airbnb. That was an invaluable learning experience.

Harley Green:
At some point, you transitioned to a credit repair business. How did that come about?

Steve Didier:
After the real estate crash, I had to repair my own credit, which taught me a lot. I started helping others, and eventually, it turned into a lucrative business I could run entirely from Mexico. To scale, I hired virtual assistants from the Philippines, which was a game-changer. They were incredibly talented and efficient, far exceeding my expectations.

Harley Green:
It sounds like outsourcing played a huge role in your success. What advice would you give to business owners about hiring virtual assistants?

Steve Didier:
Outsourcing is an investment. Each VA I hired freed me up to focus on rainmaking activities—generating sales and revenue. My advice? Start small, delegate time-consuming tasks, and invest in training your VAs. It’s worth every penny.

Harley Green:
After running the credit repair business for years, what made you move on?

Steve Didier:
The credit repair industry can be exhausting—it’s a lot of negativity. I was ready for a change and wanted to focus on fully digital ventures, like creating courses and exploring AI. The goal was to build a business that didn’t tie me to any specific location.

Harley Green:
For those considering a similar lifestyle, what’s your advice?

Steve Didier:
Start by identifying what you truly want—whether that’s full-time travel or planting roots in another country. Assess whether your current business can operate remotely. If not, consider leveraging your skills to create a business that aligns with your desired lifestyle. Most importantly, take action. You can always go back if it doesn’t work out, but you’ll never know unless you try.

Harley Green:
Steve, thank you for sharing your incredible journey and insights. For listeners who want to learn more, we’ll include links to The Ronin Mindset Podcast and other resources in the show notes. Thanks again for joining us!

Steve Didier:
Thanks, Harley. If anyone has questions or is considering making the leap, I’m happy to chat. It’s intimidating, but absolutely worth it.

Is Virtual Support the Key to Transforming Your Sales Strategy?

For growth-minded entrepreneurs and business owners, the sales process is the lifeblood of your business. Ensuring your sales operations are efficient, effective, and scalable is crucial to driving revenue and achieving long-term success. One innovative approach to enhancing your sales strategy is leveraging virtual support. This blog post explores how virtual assistants (VAs) can revolutionize your sales support functions, from material preparation to customer support, ultimately helping you scale your business.

Sales Material Preparation: Enhancing Sales Presentations and Proposals

Creating compelling sales presentations and proposals is a critical part of the sales process. Virtual assistants can help by researching and compiling data, designing professional presentations, and customizing proposals to meet specific client needs. This not only saves time but also ensures your sales materials are polished and persuasive, increasing your chances of closing deals.

Order Processing: Streamlining Order Entry and Processing

Order processing can be time-consuming, especially as your business scales. Virtual assistants can streamline this process by managing order entry, tracking orders, and ensuring timely delivery. By automating and overseeing these tasks, VAs reduce errors and free up your sales team to focus on what they do best—selling.

Appointment Setting: Efficiently Scheduling Sales Meetings and Calls

Time management is critical for sales success. Virtual assistants can handle the scheduling of sales meetings and calls, coordinating between your team and prospects to find optimal times. This ensures that your sales team is always prepared and that no opportunity slips through the cracks due to scheduling conflicts.

Pipeline Management: Keeping Your Sales Pipeline Organized

A well-organized sales pipeline is essential for tracking leads and managing prospects effectively. Virtual assistants can help maintain your sales pipeline by updating CRM systems, tracking the status of leads, and providing regular reports on pipeline health. This ensures that your sales team has the information they need to follow up on leads and close deals.

Sales Forecasting: Creating Accurate Sales Forecasts

Accurate sales forecasting is vital for strategic planning and decision-making. Virtual assistants can assist by gathering and analyzing sales data, identifying trends, and generating reports. Their support ensures that your sales forecasts are based on reliable data, helping you make informed business decisions.

Customer Support: Providing After-Sales Support and Addressing Inquiries

Providing excellent after-sales support is key to customer retention and satisfaction. Virtual assistants can handle customer inquiries, troubleshoot issues, and provide ongoing support, ensuring that your customers feel valued and heard. This enhances customer loyalty and can lead to repeat business and referrals.

Proposal Writing: Crafting Customized Sales Proposals

Customizing sales proposals to meet the unique needs of each client can be a daunting task. Virtual assistants can assist by drafting and refining proposals, ensuring they are tailored to address the specific pain points and requirements of your prospects. This personalized approach can significantly increase your chances of winning new business.

Conclusion

Integrating virtual support into your sales strategy can transform the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales operations. From material preparation and order processing to pipeline management and customer support, virtual assistants provide the flexibility and scalability needed to drive business growth.

Are You Leveraging Virtual Assistants and Technology to Drive Business Growth?

In today’s fast-paced business environment, leveraging technology and virtual assistants (VAs) can be a game-changer for growth-minded entrepreneurs and business owners. The synergy between VAs and cutting-edge technology offers a unique opportunity to streamline operations, boost productivity, and scale businesses efficiently. But are you truly maximizing their potential?

The Evolution of Virtual Assistants

Gone are the days when virtual assistants were limited to basic administrative tasks. Modern VAs are equipped with a diverse skill set, ranging from social media management and customer service to more specialized roles like digital marketing, data analysis, and even project management. This evolution has been powered by advancements in technology, making VAs more versatile and valuable than ever before.

Embracing Technology for Efficiency

  • Automation Tools: Automation tools have revolutionized how businesses operate. Tools like Zapier and IFTTT enable seamless integration between various apps, automating repetitive tasks and freeing up time for more strategic activities. For instance, you can automate lead generation processes, customer follow-ups, and even social media postings, ensuring consistency and efficiency.
  • AI and Machine Learning: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer futuristic concepts but practical tools that can enhance your business operations. AI-powered chatbots, for example, can handle customer inquiries around the clock, providing immediate responses and improving customer satisfaction. Additionally, ML algorithms can analyze large datasets to provide insights into customer behavior, helping you make data-driven decisions.
  • Project Management Software: Tools like Trello, Asana, and Monday.com have made it easier to manage projects, track progress, and collaborate with remote teams. These platforms provide a centralized space where VAs can access tasks, update statuses, and communicate with other team members, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.

Maximizing the Potential of VAs

  • Clear Communication and Expectations: To get the best out of your VAs, it’s crucial to establish clear communication channels and set explicit expectations. Use project management tools to outline tasks, deadlines, and performance metrics. Regular check-ins and feedback sessions can also help in maintaining alignment and ensuring that your VAs are on track.
  • Investing in Training: Investing in the continuous training and development of your VAs can significantly enhance their productivity and the quality of their work. Provide access to online courses, webinars, and industry resources to keep them updated with the latest trends and best practices.
  • Fostering a Collaborative Culture: Even though VAs work remotely, fostering a collaborative culture can enhance their engagement and productivity. Encourage teamwork by promoting open communication, celebrating achievements, and creating opportunities for virtual team-building activities.

The Benefits of Integrating VAs and Technology

  • Cost Savings: Hiring full-time employees can be costly, especially for startups and small businesses. VAs offer a cost-effective solution, allowing you to access a diverse talent pool without the overhead costs associated with in-house staff.
  • Flexibility and Scalability: VAs provide the flexibility to scale your workforce up or down based on your business needs. This adaptability is particularly beneficial during peak seasons or when launching new projects.
  • Focus on Core Business Activities: By delegating routine and time-consuming tasks to VAs, you can focus on core business activities that drive growth. This strategic allocation of resources enables you to concentrate on areas like product development, market expansion, and customer relationship management.

Conclusion

Integrating virtual assistants and technology into your business operations is not just a trend but a strategic move that can propel your business forward. By embracing these tools, you can streamline processes, enhance productivity, and achieve sustainable growth. Are you ready to take your business to the next level with VAs and technology? Start today and witness the transformative impact on your business.
