David Belman Builds on Family

Building the Family Business

David Belman joins Brad and Steve to talk about how he became passionate about business in his younger years by observing everything over the dinner table. He shares how the family businesses came with their own set of challenges and opportunities. But, with the right commitment and approach, it can thrive. Learning about how to hire the right people is one of the most important aspects of running a business, and how owners should be willing to invest in the professional development of their employees is truly essential.

Highlights

08:28 As a business owner, there’s a huge challenge in trying to find the right people and fit the right person for the job.

09:50 You have to invest in some training and that’s really at the core that is building some system.

11:08 Sometimes you have to figure out a niche and a way to approach it.

13:02 You have to have people that are what I call farmers instead of hunters and so that’s kind of what I did and I was like, “I want you to be a farmer, you’re gonna plant some seeds, you’re gonna water those seeds and you’re gonna take care of them and over time you’re gonna have a lot of sales.”

33:00 Self-improvement is within the mind, and so focusing on who you want to be, and what kind of person you want to be, not who you are now but where you want to go.
