110- TBCE- Scott Rammage: Delegating and Creating SOPs for Business Growth and Success

Scott Rammage is a seasoned entrepreneur with a rich history of starting, running, and selling businesses over a 22-year span. With a formal education background including a master’s degree in education and a degree in Psychology, he initially pursued a career in public education before venturing into entrepreneurship. His website: https://www.vamediamachine.com/ *Summary:* In an engaging episode of the Blue Crocus Experience, host Lewis sits down with entrepreneur Scott Rammage to delve into the transformative impact of effective delegation and the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) for business growth. Key Takeaways: -Creating detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) is critical for business efficiencies and for ensuring consistency across operations. -Effective delegation, according to Scott, can help business owners focus on their strengths and ultimately contribute to both personal satisfaction and business growth. -Virtual professionals, when integrated correctly, can take over various business operations, leading to significant time savings and cost efficiencies. -The implementation of SoPs is as important as their creation, requiring commitment from the entire team and alignment with the company’s core values. -Scott highlights the psychological aspect of business ownership, discussing identity, purpose, and the significance of finding joy beyond just work activities. *Quotes:* “You create SOPs so that you can replace that person… Most people won’t do it because they feel like their job is going to be stolen from them.” “You can’t overlook anything and really literally ask yourself this… If I were to hire a new person today, do I have to talk to them?” “Diet, exercise, and gratitude journaling. You cannot lose in your day if you start with gratitude.” “You should keep your family values above work but it’s important to understand quality time is far more fulfilling than quantity.” *Announcements:* HAVE YOU SEEN OUR NEW BLUE COLLAR KIDS BOOK? https://www.bluecollarabc.com/ Get a Free Audit of your Google Ads, SEO, Website, or Google Business Listing: https://bluecrocus.ca/website-seo-audit *About the Show:* Welcome to our podcast for contractors and business owners, hosted by Lewis Vandervalk of Blue Crocus Solutions.

61 - TBCE - Taylor Chastain - How the Toilet People started a journey - Up Up and Away Junk Hauling

Taylor Chastain, the owner of Up Up and Away Junk Hauling has had a fun journey in Junk Removal and it all started with the "toilet people" offering for him to use their trailer. Tune in to hear the story!


From Taylor: 

"I get asked this question all the time. People ask me, "Taylor, how did you start junk hauling?" And the story is really simple. When I was 17, I was in high school and I was doing a little bit of landscaping, just trying to make some money. My dad had a landscaping gig as his first job and he's always been an entrepreneur. So I figured I could start there. I realized pretty quickly that I hate landscaping. But I had one of my landscaping clients reach out to me and they said they just had all their toilets redone and they asked if I could take them to the dump. I said, "great, where's the dump?" They told me where it was and told me they would give me 20 bucks to pay for the dump fees and buy my lunch. 17 year old Taylor said, Sign me up. So I loaded up pulled into the transfer station, backed the trailer in, and threw the toilets on the ground. Guess what!? They shattered into tiny pieces. My first thought was, that was FUN. My second thought was, I bet I could get paid for that. So I finished off the year for my landscape clients, but since then it has been all about the junk. That was eight years ago. I was in a $1,500 beat up pickup truck and I borrowed a trailer from the toilet family to be able to use for hauling. The agreement was that I would dump it wherever they filled it and if I did that I could use it whenever I wanted. 

So that's how I got started, and now I'm so thankful to be where I'm at now with  crews and trucks and all that sort of stuff. It really has been awesome. Every step of the way I feel like God's provided and open doors and my family and friends have been awesome and supportive. It's great to be able to be doing 20 and 30 jobs a week and helping a lot of people."
