Every Day is a Success - with Charles Read, ex-Marine and payroll specialist.
Manage episode 362139201 series 3159742
In this episode, I'm talking with Charles Read of GetPayroll, who is a specialist in providing payroll services – although he started life as a US Marine, including serving in Vietnam.
This interview has actually been quite hard to summarise.
First of all, it's not about payroll. Yes, it gets mentioned, obviously, but the payroll business is just the context for the learnings to come.
Within that specific space, the conversation does cover such topics as marketing, differentiating and niching – and how it's set up so that every day there is an accomplishment. A success.
Then there's the element that explores the transferable skills that come from a military background and can be applied in business.
Planning, discipline, teamwork, motivational skills and, of course, the desire to accomplish the mission at all costs.
In fact, you effectively learn the key steps to enable you to make your business a well-oiled machine.
However, hidden within this business context, there actually runs a very moving love story. Charles opens up about some very personal matters and we get to see what a business can really be about.
More than just systems and processes and results, but also a family, a support system and even a lifeline in times of need.
Any summary I come up with feels like an injustice to the impact of this interview and the quality and quantity of the learnings you will receive.
All I can do is ask you to take the time and make sure you listen to it all.
