Waking up with a smile and a pep in the step. 🚶♂️ It’s a privilege to work with folks and help them improve their businesses and learn to lead more fulfilling lives. For us at Equity Catapult, helping others is our passion, and we are happy that we found it. 🤝 Connecting with your passion is the key to having a fulfilled life.

Yet, one of the most underrated qualities of leaders is to maintain a healthy sense of curiosity. A sense of curiosity maintains open mindedness. It encourages asking questions and facilitates continuous learning. It also leads to continuous improvement. 📈 If you need help activating your inner curiosity, contact us! #EquityCatapult #ContinuousImprovement #BusinessGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #Entrepreneurs

𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 Operating your business without a clear understanding of how your competitors operate is missing a key opportunity. The best way to conduct it is via a SWOT analysis. It stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats. You want to examine each of these for your competitor, as thoroughly as possible. 🔍 What you want to look for are the underlying processes: How are they organized? What is their product logistics like? This can get pretty detailed, so focus on a major issue or two that is important. Perhaps they are consistently beating you in price, or perhaps they have the same staffing level, but they have a higher productivity. Finding out answers to these questions can help your business stay afloat in a brutal marketplace. 🛥️ If you need help acting on what you discover, contact us! #EquityCatapult #SWOT #BusinessGrowth #TeamEffectiveness #MBS #LeadershipDevelopment #Entrepreneurs

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗧𝗼 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗔𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘄? 🛞 Recognizing that change has to happen is the simple part. Determining a course of action and sticking to it is much harder. Here are some ways to tell if the new system has effected a change: First, the process will take time. It will take at least 30 days and sometimes more to determine if things have changed. Understand that and be patient. At Equity Catapult, we streamline and redefine roles and procedures for our clients, then check back in with them after 30 days. The sense of purpose and momentum builds morale, and that makes it much easier to continue down the new path.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀? It is often clear that change is needed. It’s easy to see when something isn’t working. The hard part is deciding which path to take. One problem businesses quickly run into is treating symptoms and not addressing the underlying cause manifesting the symptoms. Take the time to investigate and determine the underlying causes of the situation. At Equity Catapult, we use the System and Soul method to help businesses achieve equitable growth. We help demystify the process of change by focusing on the core fundamentals your business needs to improve.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 🎧 It's quite compelling to experience the growth of your children and to witness the revealing of their greatness. Our son, Charles Robert Bendzak, aka DJ Smokee, left home for college this past year, and he has stayed in Bellingham, Washington (the home of the Western Washington Vikings) to further pursue his passion and skill at creating heart pounding events as a DJ. The kid is skilled and talented. 🎛️ He joined the EDM club, is hanging with some incredibly talented people, and has been networking to learn, grow, and develop his skills and business acumen. Important lessons are coming at him from many directions, and he is embracing the challenges as growth opportunities. The experience gained in running his own business, booking gigs, setting pricing and creating a brand is Business 2.0. He is learning skills through numerous lessons that he will be able to call upon as he grows. We are proud of how he has forged his own path and how each pivot is defining his ability to be flexible, accommodating, and attentive to his audience. Give him a follow on Instagram @GetSmokee (A tribute to his grandfather who was a Forest Ranger with the National Forest Service and made sure we knew the merits of being a good friend to nature, especially Smokey Bear) #EquityCatapult #DJSmokee #BusinessGrowth #HappyBirthday #DJ #EDM #Entrepreneurs
