Ep 194: What it Takes to Have a Successful Business with Adam Arnett

  1. Ep 194: What it Takes to Have a Successful Business with Adam Arnett Elzie D. Flenard III 20:01

In this week’s episode, Elzie talks with Adam Arnett who is the CEO and President of Element Personal Training Outsourcing. He has built his company into a multi-million dollar company operating in 7 states and over 70 locations. He discusses the importance of delegating tasks to other people. He shares how you need to trust the people in your company and the importance of empowering them while working with you. He also talks about how essential it is to be patient with your employees, you need to show them how you want things to be done. Adam also shares his thoughts on understanding your strengths and weaknesses as an entrepreneur. 

Episode Highlights

02:10 Selling is one of my favorite things, teaching people in my business how to sell and how to go ahead and help people and create solutions for the customer.  

02:51 I think the most important thing is just how to delegate. You don’t get to operate in five different states, like we do at this time, by not being able to delegate and trust and hire individuals that you can let make decisions that empower them. 

05:23 Ultimately, as the leader, it’s your responsibility to guide people and make sure they understand and are knowledgeable on how you want them to make decisions and it’s okay to make a mistake.

07:15 You’ve got to have patience, you’ve got to show people how you want things done. You’ve got to inspect what you expect. There’s an old saying, as well, and just follow up on how they’re doing things and positive reinforcement.

17:06 Find out what skills you need to have to make you irreplaceable.

Elzie Flenard The Mayor of Podcast Town

I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur as a teenager. I would create my own board games and basketball leagues in my bedroom. I would dream of flying cars and spend hours solving problems with business ideas.

I've had just about every job out there - I was a janitor for a short time, I've worked fast food, I worked in an ammunition factory (wasn't a bad gig actually), I've cleaned the bottom of barges --- I even worked in a CD manufacturing company! I've worked in corporate as an electronics technician, electrical engineer and operations manager.

These experiences shaped me. They helped me become the business leader and entrepreneur I am today. I've been podcasting since 2016 and I look forward to many more years of having conversations with bright minds from all walks of life.

I get to live my dream of being an entrepreneur. I get to chart my own path and impact others through my work ... I'm truly Livin' the Dream!
