    Most Businesses Lose Money. Here’s Why. With The Great Game of Business Steve Baker

    Get Jeff Dudan's book FOR FREE! Most businesses don’t have a people problem — they have a clarity problem. In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Steve Baker (VP, The Great Game of Business | co-author of Get in the Game and the 20th Anniversary edition of The Great Game of Business) to break down why “open-book management” isn’t about spreadsheets… it’s about building ownership, accountability, and a winning culture. ✅ What you’ll learn: Why leaders hide financials (and why it backfires) The real goal of open-book management: education + transparency How to get employees to think like owners without “boss energy” Why forecasting beats quotas (and kills sandbagging) Mini-games: the 90-day system to drive results and engagement How this applies to franchisees, franchisors, and operators 📉 Reality check: Steve shares that the median net profit for many small-to-mid sized businesses is about 6.5 cents on the dollar — and most teams have no idea. When people understand the game, they make better decisions.  Get Jeff Dudan's book FOR FREE!

    The 4 Freedoms Entrepreneurship Buys You (And How to Earn Them) with Jeff Dudan

    Grab a FREE copy of Jeff Dudan's Book Discernment HERE Freedom is the point. But freedom means different things depending on how you grew up, what you value, and what you’re willing to risk. In this episode of Franchise Fridays, I break down the 4 freedoms entrepreneurship can create — and how to think about building them intentionally: ✅ Freedom of Opportunity — more options, more pathways, more control over “what’s next” ✅ Freedom to Pursue Curiosity — following the thread that turns problems into innovation ✅ Freedom to Create Great Experiences — choosing the who, when, and where that make life meaningful ✅ Financial Freedom — security, continuity, and building assets that matter long-term A friend of mine says he builds businesses so he can do what he wants, when he wants, wherever he wants, with whomever he wants. That might sound selfish… until you realize that freedom is what allows you to be present, generous, and fully engaged — by choice. If you’re serious about building something real, the property services industry is one of the most durable, resilient sectors in franchising — built to perform in any market and any economy.

It’s mastering the moment. With over 3,500 presentations delivered in 59 countries, Phil explains: Why tension creates attention The power of adding a “third speed of speech” Why scripts don’t create authority — moments do The difference between presenting and performing How to command a room without raising your voice Why leaders must become the “pacemaker” in conversations If you lead franchisees, teams, operators, or rooms full of decision-makers — this conversation will change how you communicate.
