If you're a business owner or a startup founder who has yet to find the formula for successfully growing your business while maintaining a happy work-life balance.
Cutis Matsko, the CEO of a growing $120+ business, proudly declares, "I've had a great life, and I am nearly always happy!"
Curtis shares his early struggle with alcoholism and the event that inspired his leather goods business. He backs his self-proclaimed "I'm a marketing genius" with impressive accomplishments and ongoing success.
Spoiler alert: You will not hear about marketing hacks or high-level vague academic concepts; what Curtis shares about what it takes to build a successful and thriving business is simple.
Being a successful CEO or entrepreneur is about who you are. If you aspire to build a successful and fulfilling business and life, it is crucial to be a good person. This means being honest, fair, and kind to others. Your personality and character traits will impact your success in ways that go beyond just financial gain.
Here are a few nuggets from my incredible conversation with a down-to-earth, genuinely good guy:
➡️ "Over the top, baby. You don't have to beat them by much to beat them
by a lot in the long run."
➡️ "I own all of my companies outright. When something goes wrong... it's
me. "
➡️ "The biggest thing we lost when we went into e-commerce."
➡️ "Don't wait for your quarterly review. If you have an idea, go find Curtis."
➡️ "Hard conversations is the way we grow in this world."
➡️ Why Curtis hated his first job (the one his father found for him) and the
the creative, gutsy way he replaced it."
➡️ As a leader, you often make decisions before it is the right time to make those decisions; you don't necessarily have all the data, so you'll be making plenty of mistakes. You have to recognize it and reign that in."
