SPN55: Restoring Your Brand: Nick Slavik

SPN55: Restoring Your Brand: Nick Slavik

Nick Slavic, of Nick Slavic Painting & Restoration is a former Army Paratrooper who volunteered for two tours overseas after the 9/11 attacks. He fishes with a spear, grows his own food and has an accounting degree. I met Nick in early 2016 and immediately had a respect for him as a person and a businessman as I watched how he was building his brand. Show Highlights Nick calls himself a “Proprietor.” Started painting in his dad’s business at about 12 years old. After a disagreement with his father he went out on his own in 2007. Nick’s philosophy is “Remove all excuses,” followed closely with, “Lead by example.” He has been called a “hipster”, but Nick considers himself more a man out of his time. Nick still advertises pretty heavily in traditional newspaper ads which is still pretty effective in his area. He models them on “old-school” advertisements with a modern edge. He works regularly with local photographers styling marketing images intentionally to look more traditional. This helps catch attention on modern social platforms like Facebook. Nick knows his target market is 45-70 year old women and he adapts his marketing to appeal to this audience. Nick differentiates himself from the competition by making the passion he has for this work abundantly clear to the homeowners he meets. He defines “success” as “you supply the best coatings and best finishes, you have the happiest customers and if you can call your life happy, you call it happy.”  Nick feels this is truly his life’s calling and all three are important. Nick’s biggest leadership fail is failing to use the third 8 hours of a 24 hour day. Nick’s top tip for other business owners is to use the third 8 hours of the day. 8 hours each day is for sleep, 8 hours for trade, and Nick believes it’s important to be intentional about how you use what he calls the “third 8”.  Nick truly believes that if you’re passionate about the work that you do, it’s easy to devote this much time to your business. He believes that his passion for his trade is no different than an artist’s passion for creating, or a musician’s passion for music. One of his pet peeves is people not respecting someone’s passion for their trade. Nick finds novice painters and puts them through a journeyman/apprenticeship program.  He fully invests in each employee as though they’ll be with him their whole life, even if they’re just staying for the summer. He feels that contractors place too much value on marketing keywords and hypnotic sales sheets when the bottom-line, most crucial factor to succeeding in a contracting business is authentic trust. Your clients need to trust you and that just takes time. Nick’s rule is perfect the product and experience before you focus on marketing and SEO. Get the foundation right, before you expand on your marketing. Focus on the long-game. Join him Saturday Mornings at 10am CST, “Ask a Painter” on Facebook live from his deck. You can submit questions.   Reach Nick at: http://nickslavik.com/ https://www.instagram.com/slaviknick/ https://www.facebook.com/nick.slavik.92

SPN 32: From Tragedy To Training The Stars: Ted Ryce

Strongpreneur & Personal Trainer Ted Ryce has had the pleasure to train celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Robert Downey Jr. and Richard Branson. He also works with many top level CEO’s & entrepreneurs to help them reach their life and fitness goals. But, things weren’t always smooth for Ted. He’s had to overcome several rounds of personal tragedy in order to reach his levels of success. “It’s just to show you that ANYONE can overcome tragedy and succeed in life. I’m living proof that YOU can succeed too.” In this episode of the SPN Podcast I ask Ted questions like: What did you learn about yourself from all the tragedy you went through? You’ve been a fitness trainer for 17 years and worked with celebrities and some top CEO’s…are there any habits or mindsets that jump out at you from these top performers? What surprised you most about working with Richard Branson? You’ve got 5 minutes before you go on stage to give a talk that will save humanity from their troubles….what would be your main points? If you could only do one exercise for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Subscribe to the full podcast here. Scott on Social Media Facebook You Tube Who Is Ted Ryce? The following is from Ted’s website, Legendary Life I’m Ted. I’m a 37 year dude who has a passion for helping men build muscle, lose fat, develop more confidence and go after what they want in life.

SP EP31: Why You Should Stop Calling Yourself A Leader

SP EP31: Why You Should Stop Calling Yourself A Leader

Leadership is a topic that you’ll find an endless supply of information on. Here’s a little bit of my take and a few reasons why you should stop calling yourself a leader. 1. You continue to not reach goals Each year you set goals in your business and each year you fall short. A true leader wins. He gets results. You can have a great game plan, good players and a ton of support…you can even be a real likable guy. But, in the end..you will be judged by the results you produced. 2. You want credit I have a large ego and want credit. I want the world to know that I’m doing good! Real leaders don’t want the attention when things are going well…they point to their people and give them credit. The only time they should pull the attention on themselves is when the team fails. 3. You don’t create more leaders Because you’re the center of everything, others can’t grow to their full potential….AND THEY LEAVE!A real leader will find, develop and keep talented people. 4. Your people don’t feel safe Simon Sinek’s talk “Why Good Leaders Make You Feel Safe” says it best…so, Google it. The bottom line is that if the environment is right in your organization your people will feel safe. There are many things in the world coming after your people…many threats in their lives. A true leader will sacrifice her own comfort, opinion or position in order to provide safety for the people she serves. The leader sets the tone…How do you measure up? Which of these resonates with you most? Is it time to level up your leadership skills for entrepreneurs?

SP EP23 How To Be a Man: Peter Vitale

SP EP23 How To Be a Man: Peter Vitale

In this episode I talk with Peter Vitale, founder of Cornerman Life Coaching. Peter gives his take on how he helps men become better equipped for what life throws at them by being a strong mentor standing in their corner. You’ll hear us discuss: How to find your greatness Personal re-invention What most men wished other people knew about them Failing in business and choosing to get up again And more!   Who Is Peter Vitale? Peter Vitale is a seasoned guy with old school values, but is keenly aware of today’s man and the setbacks that befall him. Peter believes that our culture has failed to produce when it comes to the personal development of men and is one of the reasons we have a runaway culture, the deterioration of our homes and a country in decline! Peter has been working with men in areas such as personal development, men in transition, divorce, alienated fathers and the like. His desire is to see men restored, renewed and reawakened full of purpose and fulfillment as they excel in their lives both personally and professionally. In the business arena, Peter was the founder and CEO of two corporations and an entrepreneur for over thirty years. He understands the demands of business and the importance of family and the balance that needs to be found between the two. He has been a coach and motivational speaker over the years and has been married for 31 years to his wife and has raised two strong sons. Peter does not speak from an ivory tower but has experience hardship, setbacks and loss in his own life and understands what it takes to get up, re- invent yourself and move on to a wonderful life.
