    The Decision That Separates $100K Operators From $1M Owners | Ep 98

    The Decision That Separates $100K Operators From $1M Owners Welcome to the Road to a Million, Week 97! This episode dives into the single most important factor that separates $100K business operators from $1M business owners: The Courage to Commit. We break down the two critical definitions you must live by: Courage: Acting with the presence of fear. Commitment: The elimination of all other options—focusing solely on the goal of building a million-dollar business. In this powerful call, we share the personal and business journey that led to this realization. Our Path to a Million We pull back the curtain on the sacrifices and decisions that allowed us to grow our business from $6,700 in our first three months to $1.1 Million in 2023, and ultimately reaching $2.8 Million in total revenue last year. Embracing the Fear: Hear the story of growing up in a racing family, realizing a passion requires capital, and overcoming the youthful fear of vulnerability to chase a business dream. The Power of Partnership: The critical decision to seek out a partner for stability to channel creative drive and move away from chasing distractions. The Hardest Move: The true cost of our commitment, including uprooting our family to expand the business to a second location, and how it was essential for the next level of growth. Commitment Pays Off: We reveal that our second location was not profitable for the first 17 months, showing what long-term commitment looks like before it rewards you. Ultimately, we discovered that the key pivot was realizing we weren't just in the cleaning business, but in the Five-Star Experience business. This shift in focus changed everything. Every breakthrough requires Fear, Decision, Commitment, and Time. If you are willing to commit to the goal, this episode will provide the clarity to eliminate all other options and build the business you truly desire.
