It’s Sunday, and RIch is going to continue his conversation about Grace. Last week he talked about it in quite a bit of detail… and today he’s going to focus on the practical, real-world application. This is where the rubber hits the road, so to speak.
info_outlineTuesday’s podcast is a piece of a strategy session that Rich had with the owner of an almost 5 million dollar door & window company… who, despite that impressive sales amount, was still behind the curve on a lot of its marketing.

Finally, Rich lowers the boom in the “super nice but you still get the point loud and clear” kind of way that Rich seems to have perfected--and tells him, quite literally, “It’s time to up your game so you can get this thing to the next level.” And you know what, sometimes that’s the case; what got you to $2 million or $5 million… or 20 or 50 million for that matter… is NOT what is going to get you to the next level.
