Growing a business is tough. For new entrepreneurs, it’s a matter of getting your first customers. If you’re good at what you do, you start to get a few more customers. If you’re GREAT at what you do, you often get overwhelmed with growth in your business!
So, what’s it like to grow a business from just you to a team of people and a slew of customers? That’s exactly what I talk about in my interview with Craig Lauppe, owner of Advanced Property Management. I got to know Craig when he first started his property management company with just himself, managing a few rental properties. Over the years, I’ve been able to watch him grow that small company into managing hundreds of properties, building a highly productive team around him and branching out into new adventures. It’s a remarkable feat which takes a lot of patience, planning and people. Take a listen at some of the ways Craig has managed his business’ growth.
