The skills needed to build our first 7 figure business didn’t come from business school, they came from making cheeseburgers after school at 15 years old. Data, systems & Team – the three things every business owner knows they need, and almost nobody actually builds properly.
In this episode, Leon turns the tables and asks Samantha what her first job at McDonald’s really taught her. And what comes out is one of the most practically useful conversations about business fundamentals you’ll hear anywhere. Why a system that isn’t followed didn’t break because the system was bad. Why knowing your numbers means knowing the exact day and the exact customer that tips you into your first million dollar year. Why the store owner she worked for served customers once in two years and why that one observation changed everything about how she thought about her role as a business owner.
Leon adds his own lens on time and motion studies, the real cost of doing things the unnecessarily hard way, why most online business owners have an incomplete data set and don’t even know it, and why thinking of marketing as a spend instead of an investment is one of the most expensive mindset mistakes in business.
These are the business foundations that most people have never been taught.
