We discuss:

[02:19] Frank shares his defining moment. One of the biggest turning points in his life was when he decided he would step into his personal brand and be a world traveler.
[06:10] When it comes to being a digital nomad, it’s the crash course for being a successful entrepreneur. You are constantly problem-solving. New experiences force us to think outside of the box.
[07:59] It all starts with your centralized communication. You have to have a way internally to communicate with your team and externally to communicate to your clients, service providers, vendors, and other partners you may have in the business.
[08:39] I would never hire anybody from America in 99.9% of cases. The reason is because I am a capitalist and if someone is providing a service I want to go where I get the best quality of service and the lowest rate.
[10:53] Everybody has a couple of unique skills that they are really good at that cost a low amount of energy but it yields a very high result.
[12:58] If your people are not critical thinkers you want to look at yourself first and take ownership internally and really look at your actions.
[16:31] One of the biggest problems that I see especially with businesses in the start-up mode is that they ask too much of people that they shouldn’t be asking them for.
[18:10] If you create a career path for your talent inside your business you can actually retain talent long-term and force them to level up.
[21:06] It is a collaborative process. When you are setting up a career path for people inside your business you actually want to have questions to get their feedback.
[23:25] All businesses are three things: marketing, operations, and finance. If you take specific people with specific skill sets inside of these three areas then you get consistent results in those areas.
[25:13] If you build systems, processes, workflows, and a position then that is what allows you to have people join your mission and allows you to attract the right people.
[27:37] If you can make a dollar, you can make a million. If you have a winning product or service where somebody will pay you money then you have the opportunity to scale that business. You can scale that business if you choose.
