On today’s show, we are joined by YEAA Vice-President Josh Drushel and Aaron Acorn who share with us the 4 keys to starting and managing a successful start-up business. Drawing from their combined experience of nearly three decades, Josh and Aaron share some of the biggest things that can help eighteen-year-olds manage a large painting business at YEAA (Young Entrepreneurs Across America).  You will learn the importance of having enough human capital at your disposal. Being a labor-intensive business, unless you over-hire and always have some fallback options, your business will stall sooner, or later as “unforeseen circumstances” come up. Perhaps, retaining your employees is as important (if not more) than the hiring process. And on today’s show, Josh and Aaron emphasize setting expectations right away and rewarding employees adequately. Next, we discuss marketing and reveal why it’s important to make an early start. Always having a full sales pipeline will help you work out any hiccups so you can hit your revenue goals. You do not want to miss the show ending where we talk about communication. Clear communication with your vendors, painters, and customers will help you run your first business smoothly and profitably. This is a show you do not want to miss. Enjoy!
