The Next Measurable Step - Tim Fitzpatrick
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
Tuesday Dec 07, 2021
“The quality of your relationships is it has a direct correlation to the results that you end up seeing.” Tim Fitzpatrick
The journey of entrepreneurship primarily entails building strong and meaningful relationships with different stakeholders. Among all the different factors that interplay to ensure success, strong relationships in business remain central to building a sustainable business. This is according to our guest today Tim Fitzpatrick, who further reiterates the importance of taking time to understand and laydown foundational principles that are necessary for businesses to achieve long-term success.
Tim is an entrepreneur/business owner with expertise in marketing and business growth. He has 20+ years of entrepreneurial experience with a passion for developing and growing businesses. That passion served him well in operating and managing a wholesale distribution company he co-owned for nine years. The company grew an average of 60% a year before being acquired in 2005.
Since then, he’s had failures and successes that have been valuable learning experiences. He started Rialto Marketing in 2013 and has been helping service businesses simplify marketing so they can grow with less stress. Tim believes that most people overcomplicate marketing yet doesn't have to be that way.
In today’s episode, Tim talks about how he got into entrepreneurship, relationships in business and why facing the uncomfortable challenges fearlessly is the key to growth in business.

I grew up in Northern California in the Bay Area and my wife and I moved to the Denver area in 2008. [2:34]
From a business standpoint, realtor marketing is my current business. [2:51]
When I initially started that business, we were actually focused specifically on selling mobile applications into the K12 education space. [2:57]
My entrepreneurial journey has not been a straight path where I have had multiple shifts due to changes in the app market. [3:07]
What we're doing today is working primarily with service based businesses so they can grow with less stress. [3:28]
We help them create an implemented plan to communicate the right message to the right people. [3:39]
Many people are just battling information overload when it comes to marketing due to the many different channels, and tactics within those channels. [3:51]
I think the reason we overcomplicate marketing is because we skip the fundamentals and that's what we help people really get in place. [6:38]
When I communicate what the fundamentals are and why they're so important, most people understand it. [7:04]
I fell into entrepreneurship after I graduated from college and went to help my father manage his distribution company on a day to day basis. [7:40]
The biggest driver in our success in that business was the quality of the relationships that we had which a lot of those relationships my dad had been building for years. [9:11]
The quality of your relationships has a direct correlation to the results that you end up seeing. [9:42]
With long term thinking, you don't build relationships overnight but have to have that patience, and discipline to what you need to do to build those relationships. [10:36]
I've gotten to a place from a sales standpoint where I look to understand the problem you have first before taking that next step. [12:31]
Commercial break [13:20]
I transitioned into residential real estate for about three years ago and one of the things that real estate really pushed me to do was get outside of my comfort zone on a daily basis. [14:39]
If you are going to be successful long term, you have to be comfortable getting outside your comfort zone because it helps you to continue to grow and embrace change. [15:31]
I feel fortunate that I've never really shied away from change all that much but rather I tend to embrace it. [17:05]
The information you need to be successful is already there and you do not need to start from ground zero, you just need to know where to go to get that information. [19:06]
Entrepreneurs need to focus on the next measurable step and break the larger things down into the small steps that they can really focus on. [22:52]

The Film Festival Doctor - Rebekah Smith
Friday Jan 29, 2021
Friday Jan 29, 2021
Are you really doing what you love? Are you fulfilling your soul purpose? Our next guest found out her soul purpose, thankfully before it was too late!
Rebekah Louisa Smith was earning her PhD, headed to the life of an academic. She had a plan completely mapped out until one day at a conference someone gushed about life as an academic and suddenly she realized, it wasn’t her passion. She didn’t gush over teaching film!
But fortunately, she was also simultaneously working at the Abertoir Horror Festival in Wales, traveling around to festivals all over Europe, gaining a tremendous amount of knowledge about film festivals, as she recruited filmmakers to the prestigious horror festival. She began giving advice to filmmakers who wanted to get into more festivals, win awards and gain visibility that would lead to sales revenue. Then it hit her, that’s what she loved doing! She had a marketable skill that she could turn into a business. Rebekah ultimately became recognized worldwide as The Film Festival Doctor, an innovator in her field. Her company has won more than 800 awards for her clients and has supported 850 creatives to achieve their filmmaking dreams.
In today’s episode we learn more about Rebekah’s amazing career, and how she realized that her “hobby” could truly become her life-long dream career. She also talks about how her super-niche view allowed her to create a market that was just waiting to be discovered.
In her new book, Born to Do It: Becoming the Leader of a Business Niche Using Powerful Spiritual Techniques (https://amzn.to/3fhm1Xb), Rebekah wants to save you the same headaches she experienced, and she provides a roadmap to business success that embraces the spiritual principles that righted her ship. It’s a book for someone just contemplating the entrepreneurial journey or for anyone already growing a business that is struggling or in need of revitalization.

Generating Referrals Without Asking - Stacey Brown-Randall
Monday Jan 25, 2021
Monday Jan 25, 2021
Would you like to know how to generate double, triple or even quadruple the number of business referrals you receive each year, without having to ask (or beg) for them? Our next guest helps her clients do just that.
Stacey Brown Randall is the multiple award-winning author of Generating Business Referrals Without Asking (https://amzn.to/2H9C78M), host of the Roadmap to Grow Your Business podcast, and national speaker. She has had the privilege of helping well-known corporations and franchises but her focus is on small business owners and solopreneurs in the real estate, financial, and professional services industries.
In today’s episode we talk about how “asking” for referrals is not only uncomfortable but is ultimately an unsustainable practice. She built her methodology by using her own coaching company as a guinea pig, and knew she was on to something when her clients were even more interested in her referral generating methods than in her coaching services. She also reminds us that it is important for all of us to incorporate business development, every single day.
Stacey has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, CEO World, Fox News and more. She received her Master’s in Organizational Communication and is married with three kids.
