What happens when the excitement of entrepreneurship wears off and all that's left is the grind?

In this episode of The Real Business Owners Podcast, Trevor Cowley, Rick Trimmer, and AJ Cappuccitti get into what it actually takes to move a business forward when things get difficult.

AJ came to Utah from Canada to surround himself with people further ahead, and the conversation quickly expands into a deeper discussion about entrepreneurship, loneliness, scaling, team building, and the importance of changing your environment when you've outgrown it.

They break down:

• Why getting around people ahead of you can completely change your perspective
• What to do when business starts feeling like an uphill battle
• How successful entrepreneurs can become the go-to person for everyone else's problems
• The difference between being lonely because you're starting out and being selective because you've grown
• How to scale a remodeling business without letting overhead crush you
• Why you might be playing in the wrong "field" without realizing it
• How to build a company that can operate without the owner
• Creating a clear path for employees to earn more responsibility, profit sharing, and equity
• Why finding good people isn't the hardest part of building a team
• Knowing when to stop consuming information and start putting what you've learned into action

The bigger takeaway: You don't need to know everyone. You need to become the kind of person worth knowing.
