REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And so my question was, what's the most important thing to focus on when your business is blowing up faster than your internal systems, your staffing and structure can keep up with without losing the quality or burning out?

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

something that, that we have been doing.

I mean, there's a, there was a customer where we had to take out the lid in their bathroom because there was some mold growing on there and we did all that and we got everything done.

We got everything put back drywall and painted everything.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

And I went back to do the final walkthrough with the customer and she was a super nice lady and she was like, you know,

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

I like it, but it wasn't up to the standard that I wanted.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And, you know, there was just some stuff that paint wasn't supposed to be on this or, you know, they didn't mask properly and things like that.

968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And so while she was okay with it, I said, well, I'm not okay with it.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

Can we come back and fix it?

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And I'd actually that day was listening to your podcast on the way up there.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And someone had mentioned that where.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

you had told them like go above and beyond basically for the customer.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And so that's, that's what I did.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

And then she was, you know, while it took a little bit longer and you know, her husband wasn't necessarily, uh, happy with us with the amount of time that it took.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

I told him, I said, we wanted to make sure that we got it done.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

Right.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

If you guys have time with the small market that we have up here,

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

in fairbanks we have really two competing companies up here and when we started and as we've gotten things going we're basically picking up all of their work and so that's also part of the reason why we've had to hire super quick and expand our team so quickly and with that we've gotten a lot of younger guys i mean we've got a

REAL AF with Andy Frisella
968. Q&AF: Misunderstood By Family, Convincing The Unmotivated & Scaling Smart

16 year old a couple 17 year olds and you know a couple 18 year olds and i'm only 24 and so i'm trying to learn while also teaching these guys how to do everything and so what's the best way to instill accountability and reliability into those younger guys who want to learn and are hungry but still struggle with basic consistency with having a job because a lot of this is their first job
