In today’s show, Chris interviews student painter and district manager, Luke Fenn.
This show starts with Luke recalling his life before Student Works. Because a bunch of his buddies were already student painters, Luke was quick to grasp this entrepreneurial opportunity when he came across it in his first year.
While Luke managed to notch up $100,000 revenues in his first year, he admits his first year was incredibly stressful.
So, when Luke came back to Student Works in his second year, what all did he change about his management style?
Luke shares how he managed to build his organization by hiring sales and production staff so that he could manage his business in a completely autonomous and hassle-free manner.
The next segment of the show is particularly interesting as Luke shares some great details about how he got and executed the biggest job of his career – a $200,000 job where he had 21 people on site! Here, you will learn how ingenuity and a strong network can take you ahead in life.
As Luke built up his organization, he had had to assume the role of a coach and mentor. So, what surprised Luke most about being a coach and mentor? Luke shares how assuming his role required him to connect on a deeply personal level with his teammates.
Other topics discussed on this show include cultivating self-awareness and coachability, taking action with intention, discovering opportunities in the outside world, and capitalizing on them.
We hope you enjoy this show!
