He shares personal stories about overcoming stagnancy through structured systems and the courage to face uncertainty, while also promoting specialized coaching programs like Built for Contractors.

    E719. Get More Revenue from Your Revenue: The Metrics Every Small Business Must Track
    Jun 30 2026
    Caleb speaks with Kevin Dorsey, the Chief Revenue Officer at Leanscaper, regarding business growth and leadership within the green industry. Dorsey explains the distinction between sales and total revenue, highlighting the necessity of tracking specific performance metrics to ensure long-term stability. The discussion emphasizes the importance of hiring for character rather than just technical skills, while also advocating for rigorous training to build employee competence. Dorsey introduces psychological concepts such as growth mindset and visualization, suggesting that true resilience is built through preparation rather than simply enduring hardship. Finally, the episode warns against "shiny object syndrome," advising business owners to use clear long-term goals as filters to avoid burnout and maintain progress. Key Takeaways: Implement the GERMS methodology by prioritizing gratitude, exercise, reading, meditation, and sleep to prevent burnout and maintain peak performance.Define a Keystone Goal for a one-to-three-year horizon to serve as a filter for new projects and help you avoid the trap of shiny object syndrome.Practice dual-visualization by mentally rehearsing both your successful outcomes and the specific obstacles you may encounter to build a more resilient mindset.Focus on hiring for characteristics like discipline and motivation while leaving technical skills for the training phase, as core traits are much harder to develop than job competence.Track micro-progress through specific daily or weekly metrics to maintain momentum and stay motivated during challenging periods in your business or personal life.

    Jun 25 2026

    Caleb interviews leadership expert Eric Termuende and the discussion centers on the intentional construction of company culture, specifically focusing on how small business owners can foster trust and open communication within their teams. Termuende emphasizes that leaders do not need to possess all the answers but should instead empower their employees to help navigate uncertainty. He highlights the importance of genuine personal relationships and clarity of vision over transactional management styles.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Deepen the sense of trust within your team and actively work to remove friction to better handle future uncertainty.
    • Clearly define and communicate your company's end goal so every team member understands exactly what they are working toward.
    • Foster stronger team connectivity by getting to know your colleagues on a personal level and building genuine relationships beyond work tasks.
    • Embrace a leadership style that prioritizes asking insightful questions and learning over always feeling the need to have the right answers.
    • Empower your team to contribute their unique perspectives by crowdsourcing the best practices for reaching your established goals.
