#11 - How the Right Network Can Accelerate Your Business Growth

The right network can change everything. 💡 In this video, I break down how surrounding yourself with the right people — those who share your target clientele and values — can accelerate your business growth faster than anything else. From our experience building The Entrepreneur Lounge and scaling our CPA & Advisory firm from zero to acquisition, I share: ✅ The types of professionals you should be connecting with ✅ Why your network should align with your business goals ✅ What not to do when networking (a real story from my BNI days) Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, this one’s for you. 🎯 Build smarter. Network intentionally. Grow faster.

#10 - Leveraging VS Delegating

Most business plans don’t fail because of bad ideas — they fail because of lack of accountability. 💡 In this video, I share a mindset shift that’s helped me and my team at The Jones Group CPA & Advisory actually get things done. Here’s the key: when you assign a task, it doesn’t leave your to-do list until it’s done. You’re not delegating — you’re leveraging. ✅ Why true accountability drives business success ✅ How to lead effectively without micromanaging ✅ The difference between delegation and leverage. This one’s short, but it might change how you manage your team (and your time).

#9 - Understanding Roles, Responsibilities, and Processes in Business

In any business, you must have clear roles & responsibilities and operate within the processes of the business to be as effective as you can be.

#8 - Playing the Long Game in any Professional Services Industry

In any Professional Services Industry, you have to play the long game. In this video, Garrett gives a short glimpse into his teams' strategy when speaking with a new prospect. (We promise the audio will be better on the next video)

#6 - You Get What You Pay For

In business, and in just about anything, you get what you pay for.

#5 - Your Business is Growing—But Are You?

Who you surround yourself with determines how far you’ll go. 💡 In this video, I talk about why proximity is power — and how surrounding yourself with people who are ahead of you in business can completely change your trajectory. I share: ✅ A personal story from my time in BNI — and why I knew it was time to level up ✅ Tony Robbins’ famous “$60,000 trip” lesson on proximity ✅ Why your business can only grow as fast as you do. If you’re serious about growth, stop being the smartest person in the room. Put yourself around people who challenge you to think bigger.
