Nobody's coming to hand you a business. The good news is you don't need one handed to you. Buildable is a weekly show about people who started with what they already had, kept adding to it, and ended up with something that runs without them. Host Jessica Renfrow has spent twenty-three years starting, buying and selling businesses out of a town of eight thousand people. Every week she sits down with one owner and walks the six layers every business goes through, with real numbers, including the ones that didn't work. It's for two people. The one with an idea who isn't sure whether it'll work. And the one who already built something and wants it to keep paying them after they step back from it. No big idea required. No investors. No bigger town. New episodes weekly. Start with what you've got.

    From Survival to Legacy

    Mat Lewczenko signed a personal guarantee on a commercial space he was certain agents wanted. Twenty five hundred dollars a month each, twenty four months, plus overhead. Nobody came. It cost him seventy four thousand dollars and it nearly cost him his marriage. Then, at the end of November, with his mindset in the dirt, a friend asked him a question that took about four seconds to answer and two years to act on. He made one social post and closed his phone. Ninety minutes later there were eleven messages waiting. Six of them became clients at a thousand dollars a month. Mat runs Leveraged Agent Coaching out of Lenexa, Kansas. He's four years in with four people, and in this conversation he walks all six layers of what he built, including the parts that failed and what they cost. In this episode: · Why nobody used the office everybody said they wanted, and the question he skipped · One post, eleven messages, six clients, and what happened next · "You are most ideally suited to help you five years ago," and how it rewrote who he serves · The scorecard problem: a 97 in business, a 15 in life, and why that still counts as losing · Enoughness, and why he stopped telling clients to double their goals · What he changed at home first, and the rule he made about walking through his own front door Not sure which of the six layers is holding yours up? Take the assessment at jessicarenfrow.com. It's free and it takes about four minutes. Start with what you've got. Then build yourself out of it.
