Pete. Thank you for coming on. Please introduce yourself to time to shine today podcast varsity squad. But first, what’s your favorite color? And why?

Unknown Speaker 1:55
My favorite color is blue. And I yeah, I mean, it’s part of my logos and playing entrepreneurship. Blue is there. I just like blue. I’ve always it’s one of those things I grew up. You know, my, my, I’ll tell you a little story. We used to sit. I mean, this is come on. This shows my age. I don’t have much hair anymore. You know? For me,

Unknown Speaker 2:19
how old are you? I’m 51. Okay, so I’m 50. So I’m right there with you, brother. Yeah, so we

Unknown Speaker 2:23
used to sit on the front step of our, in the subdivision that we lived in. And we were on a fairly busy road. And we used to sit as kids on the front step. And we used to count cars. And blue was always the one that we wanted. Because back in the 80s there was a lot of blue cars, right? You never see blue cars anymore. They’re all red, but there’s never any blue cars hardly. And so I always wanted the blue cars because I knew I could win the game if I got blue. You know, we had a baby like blue all these different blues, right? Yeah. Maybe it started back there. I don’t know. But our house growing up when my my parents built a house, they put blue in it. And it’s like I just was assimilated to blue I think at an early age and I’ve always liked it along the way.

Unknown Speaker 3:05
And dish wala had a great song county blue cars back in the 90s know if you remember that from the past, man. But yeah, blue is like my jam too. I’m actually looking at the Atlantic Ocean here and it’s nice and pristine and blue. And I’m in here doing a podcast interview. I’m just kidding, man. I’m super, super stoked to come on. Let’s get into your little bit of a story of how you started and get where you are leveling people up now.

Unknown Speaker 3:28
Cool. Cool. Well, long story short is I’ve been a lifelong entrepreneur. It’s pretty much all I’ve ever done, worked for somebody else after university for about six months. Great Business. Loved the individuals actually my dad’s one of my dad’s best friends, and great business, great person. But I also realized at the time, you know, working for somebody else just wasn’t for me, right. I’ve bought franchises, built franchises, sold, franchises, bought and built other businesses. I was a business broker for a while helping people buy and sell businesses. Currently, for the last 12 years, we’ve had shoe stores. So I continue to run the shoe stores had I’ve had a few other businesses along the way as well. Some liquidation pop up roadshow events, different different things going on. But I’ve been in the service industry cleaning, you know, bathroom renovations, and now in now in retail and helping other people, you know, get through the frustrations of running a business so that they don’t have to pull all their hair like I did.

Unknown Speaker 4:30
It’s safe to call you a serial entrepreneur.

Unknown Speaker 4:33
Yeah, I mean, I would say that that’s it’s just been my life right now. Has been you know, outside of my family of course. You know, business has been something that gives me energy not takes it away.

Unknown Speaker 4:45
Wow. That’s a great way to say it. That means you’re kind of loving what you’re doing and the whole cliche you don’t really work a day in your life although we work. Right, right. So then when you’re sure are you a More of a coach or a consultant. I’m a coach. Okay, gotcha. So, what do you think that makes a great coach?

Unknown Speaker 5:07
Well, you know, there’s a few different things, I think, well, first of all, let’s, let’s talk about the difference between a coach and a consultant.

Unknown Speaker 5:15
Let’s do this, because this is a great conversation right here, because I have coached you, I don’t insult.

Unknown Speaker 5:19
Yeah. So I mean, here’s, here’s my thought, and a nice way to, you know, we’ve, we’ve gone through Olympics recently, and none of the coaches ran the 100 meter dash, or in the winter, none of them took the ski jump, you know, none of them were on, we’re on the ice in the hockey game, right, they were there in a support role, guiding their team and working with their teams to make them even better. So they can excel and be the pinnacle of whatever it is they’re doing. Very different thing than a consultant in the way I look at a consultant is, if you want something done, like let’s say, marketing, then you would hire a marketing consultant to do something for you and give you something in a done for you manner, love. And so that’s not a coach coaches, they’re working with, you know, going through strategy’s going through stuff, but they’re not actually doing the work, the work is still up to you. Sure. And, you know, you got to run the race, right. And so that’s, that’s basically how I differentiate, are you looking for the done for you model, that’s our consultant, hire a marketing consulting an operation consultant, you know, bookkeeping person, or whatever the case is, or you hire a coach. And from the coaching side of things, we’re there, you know, and having a lot of discussions and one of the Scott, I think this is, the biggest thing that I do in my business is having discussions around what they want out of their life, and driving the business to deliver it, because my feeling is that you own your business, and it shouldn’t own you. And if you feel as though your business is owning you, well, you got to flip that so that your business is actually the foundation underneath the life that you want to live, and set your business up. So that it’s delivering it and just happen tomorrow. No, it doesn’t happen tomorrow. But if you don’t have that guiding light of what you want out of your life, that you can actually have your business, deliver it from the bottom end, it takes time to do that. And that’s the kind of stuff that I coach to setting up the strategies around there. The five P’s that maybe we’ll chat a little bit about today. So we were getting into that. Yeah, those a little bit. Yeah, you know, that’s, that’s kind of how I, most of my platforms are around those. And just quickly, those five P’s are what’s your promise aligning your product, your process and your people to the promise, so that you can enjoy the right amount of profit. And when you enjoy the right amount of profit, you get your freedom back a little bit. And you can actually decide what you want to do with that. Whether you want to hire somebody else to help you out, or whether you want to take that money and put it somewhere else or do something else with it. But the freedom and the choice of that happens after you align all this other stuff so that you can actually have your business working as a foundation to deliver you your freedoms, because anybody who’s listening here, that is actually a business owner today, you know, started their business for a reason. And they were thinking, they’re thinking, Hmm, I think I want to be a business owner because it will deliver me this, whatever that is, is uniquely yours. And that’s okay. core value. Yeah, yeah. But it’s often I want, you know, more time for my family, I want more money,

Unknown Speaker 8:35
I want, yeah,

Unknown Speaker 8:36
I want I want better relationships, I want to, you know, be able to deliver the promise, and help people through their problems, whatever that is, whether you’re a psychologist or whether you sell shoes. You know, it’s you’re taking people through this problem, and helping them through and delivering to them a better life. And that’s what I think we do as coaches to Scott Absolutely. Like, what’s the problem? What’s our unique process? And how can we deliver a better life? And so everybody that is essentially the first P, which is the promise, what promise, are you making sure to understand what their problem is your unique delivery of your method, so that they can live a better life because everybody only buys a better life. They won’t spend money if if they don’t see a better life.

Unknown Speaker 9:27
What’s the five Ps against promise product process? Yep, people profit. People in profit. That’s such a flow to that. So when you’re working with a hole last night as promised product process, people in profits, profit, you know, that’s the most important right? I’m just getting services the most. But so when you started to work with somebody being maybe in the discovery period that yeah, what is some of your secret sauce if you don’t mind sharing to maybe help them find their blind spot?

Unknown Speaker 9:59
Yeah. Yeah, well, first of all, you know, most I don’t, I don’t do a lot of work with startups, it’s the work that I do is mainly mainly with people who have been at it for a while, and kind of hit some grass grass, have hit some glass ceilings, and sort of want to continue on the growth, right? And they’re at a certain level, it’s like, maybe they’ve been at it for one year, three years, five years, 10 years, and they kind of look back and they’re like, I’m working, still working 50 6070 hours a week, right? So you know, it’s like, okay, well, let’s take a step back and do what we just talked about, which is, revision, what it is you wanted, when you first got into business in the first place? And understand the gaps that you have that aren’t there. Like, we need to fill in those gaps. It’s like, okay, well, when you when you bought your business, when you started your business, what were you thinking that it was going to deliver to you? And what are the gaps that it’s not delivering? So understanding that to begin with is a really important piece, because then we can dig back into, okay, is your promise aligned, because one of the big things lately has been with so much change, Scott in the last few years with COVID, all the different things the way people by the way, people are acting, you know, in the in the sort of the buy process. It’s just, it’s overturned in so many different ways. Sure. And these people that have been added for a while, haven’t necessarily improved their promise, they haven’t changed some of their delivery mechanisms. They’re there. One of the lines I hear a lot is, well, we’ve always done it that way.

Unknown Speaker 11:34
Love it? It’s true. Yeah. And you’ll always get what you’ve got, if you don’t evolve. I love that. So when were you maybe starting to work with a business owner that’s getting their needs a crasher, that ceiling? Started working with them? Is there any good question that you wish they would ask you, but never do?

Unknown Speaker 11:56
You know, it’s interesting, because, like I said, off the bat, everybody’s sort of journey is different and unique. And I think that’s interesting that, you know, when you look at it, because everybody’s at different stage, and everybody’s at a different level, and want different things. And I think the biggest question that they usually come to me and ask, revolves around, how do I how do I get what I want, right? And the real, the real thing is like, okay, let’s, let’s, let’s flip that. And it’s like, Do you know what you actually want?

Unknown Speaker 12:36
Oh, that’s true. Yeah. What is your why? Right? Like, honestly, What’s your why? Wow, that strong? So if I think I might know the answer to this question, but if I’m saying that we can do that, you know, one on one doing what my mom taught me one, one mouth and two years for reason, and really listening. What am I hearing that would make them a good prospect client or maybe a referral to their Pete?

Unknown Speaker 13:03
What what? I’m sorry, I missed that question. Your you want me to give my sort of one liner? Is that it?

Unknown Speaker 13:10
Yeah. Let’s say this. Maybe I’m at a networking event, and I’m meeting you. Okay. What do you do?

Unknown Speaker 13:16
I help entrepreneurs turn their frustrations into freedoms, essentially. Yeah, you know, and it’s like, what are you? What problems are you having, and let’s work the strategies to deliver the freedoms that you want. And it’s through frameworks. It’s through systems, it’s through process, it’s through getting the stuff out of your head Sure, onto paper so that you can take actionable steps in order to accomplish what it is you want for your freedoms. And that’s why we got into business, Scott, we got in business because we want to create our own freedoms. That’s what entrepreneurs are all about. Right? Yeah, that’s,

Unknown Speaker 13:53
that’s everything goes back to the money that you make, eventually, but that money gives you the freedoms and the choices and you and I, you and I are like brothers from different mothers, man, I’m telling you right now that like we’re so so aligned. So Peter, have you seen the movie Back to the Future? Oh, yeah. All right. Let’s Yeah, your age. My age. We thought it was a classic. We were in middle school having a good time, but Okay, so let’s get that delorey with Marty McFly, let’s go back to the double Deuce the 22 year old Pete What kind of knowledge nuggets would you drop on him to maybe not so much change anything people help them? Maybe shorten his learning curve level up and blast through maybe just a little quicker?

Unknown Speaker 14:33
Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I was 22 when I was starting my business and getting going. So I that that certainly I associated with that. And when I look back at that, it’s like, okay. I was also in a relationship and getting ready to get married and all that sort of stuff, too. So it was an interesting time. But when I first look back and start, it’s like, you need to do this yourself, you know, you need to actually take it on there when you become an entrepreneur. There’s nobody to tell you what to do.

Unknown Speaker 15:19
Yeah, a lot of people at that age even they don’t believe in you, even though they want to.

Unknown Speaker 15:24
Yeah, no, it’s so true. So you’ve always had your parents there, like for those that still are lucky and blessed to have their parents, you know, have their parents that have guided them along this far and you kind of going through that stuff. And, you know, you’ve had, you know, maybe a boss or two along the way that’s told you, you know what you need to do. But when you make that step into entrepreneurism, there is no one else to tell you what to do. So find a mentor.

Unknown Speaker 15:53
I love it. I love it. That’s exact, exactly what I would say I did what you’re asking here, you know, ask and then find that mentor. And I’m a big believer in the more you mentor, the more and modal you become, right? So you are that you pass it forward to as you’ve gotten. I’d love doing that. So how do you want your dash? Remember that little line in between your incarnation date, your expiration date, your life date and death date? Hopefully, it’s a long ways down the road, but that little dash? How do you want that? Remember, brother?

Unknown Speaker 16:22
Well, I’ve got a interesting little exercise that I put my team through. And, you know, it’s, it’s really it’s writing your, your, your tombstone? Like, what do you want on your tombstone? Okay, and, and this has changed over the years to sketball. It does. And I look back, I’ve got kids, I got three kids, they’re all in their 20s Now, but, you know, I want to be known as a good father. So I want to be known as you know, so the business stuff, all that other stuff, and everything is secondary. And, and maybe in when I was 22, you know, and before having kids. And, by the way, even while I had kids for a first a little while there, I wouldn’t maybe, you know, I said it, but I might not have lived it, as well. And, you know, it’s like I was so focused on the business because I thought if I grew the business, I’d be able to help my family better instead of being maybe there for the family along the way sometimes. And so I’ve lived through that. And I think a lot of people that were probably listening today have as well. And, you know, I look back and it’s like, I’ve doing what I can to make my shifts. And I it’s not like I was a bad dad. I was a good dad. I was hockey coach and doing all that stuff. It’s helping out for sure.

Unknown Speaker 17:45
In Canada, your hockey game? Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 17:47
I mean, I could I but I look back, it’s like those kinds of things. Like, my relationships are crucially important to me. And so again, kind of knowing what you want. And then so yeah, I want to be known as, you know, a good family man. First, I want to be known as a community builder. I want to be known as somebody who was helpful and giving. And from that perspective, I you know, on the community side of things, my belief is that entrepreneurs are the backbone of every community. And that’s why I love working with them. By the way, if I can free up through my coaching, if I can free up some of their time, they will automagically give it back to their communities.

Unknown Speaker 18:36
They just say automagically, I did.

Unknown Speaker 18:39
So, so they just will, because when you look at that, it’s the entrepreneurs typically that are the Deacons in the church. They’re the people that help raise money for the new wing on the hospital. They’re the coaches on the baseball team. They’re the ones that work in all the all the Lions Clubs, and the Kiwanis Clubs and all these different clubs that are raising money and helping community and all this other stuff. They’re the ones that actually build the playground down the road. For the community. They’re the ones that fund that source. They’re the ones that go door knocking door to door for Heart Foundation and Cancer Foundation, right? Like these are your community builder. True. So if I, in my little way of helping entrepreneurs with simplifying entrepreneurship and helping them give them back more of their time, through doing what I do in helping them be their coach, yeah, so that they can get more time and maybe more money. Then I’ve done my little piece to help black community grow through helping that entrepreneur free up time and make more money because they just entrepreneurial spirit will support their community.

Unknown Speaker 19:49
Give back Yeah, philanthropy is a huge part of it. And I’m not saying you have to monitor you could give time and everything. So, Pete, what do you think people misunderstand about you the most

Unknown Speaker 20:04
I don’t know. I think I’m I’m fairly straight up. Sky

Unknown Speaker 20:07
transparent. Okay, well, that’s cool. What keeps you up at night? I sleep like a baby to man, you are just like the perfect human. Well, no, I love it.

Unknown Speaker 20:20
I’m very focused. I’m very focused on I mean, I’m not focused on health like you are, man. You’re a big dude. But, but, you know, I am very focused on health. Like, I watch my here’s the here’s another thing when it comes to health, and you might affiliate Yeah, yeah. Health is my number one block of when I when I look at my my number one block is health. My number two block is relationships. Okay, as far as my life goes, and what I want my business to deliver, right. So number one health. Why is number one health? Well, number one is health. Because if I’m not healthy mind and not healthy body. I can’t have a healthy business. True. I can’t have healthy relationships. I can’t nothing else happens if I’m not physically and mentally healthy. Yeah. So for me, I do watch the amount of sleep that I get. I’m wearing aura ring. And I’m I monitor that, too. Yeah. So it’s like, I’m just seeing the new update. It’s

Unknown Speaker 21:21
pretty awesome. There. I haven’t seen it there. They’re putting the oxygen sensor on there now. So

Unknown Speaker 21:25
do you have to get the new ring or it’s just an update in the in the software?

Unknown Speaker 21:29
Mine’s on my charger right now. Yeah, definitely charge it. But yeah, it’s it the OP should update. I did buy the new one last year, or earlier this year. Yeah. Upgraded. I have my old one that sits here. Yeah, I believe and I love that you did. You and I are the same. So let me ask you something. Let’s take out of this equation, you think electronical technological? What are three things that we can’t live without?

Unknown Speaker 21:59
Three things I can’t live without? Well, I like the sun.

And I just I take a lot of joy in being not not necessarily under the sun, but just the warmth of the sun. So for me, I enjoy community, you know, like that, love it. I just do. You know, I like being with like minded people and chatting about stuff and having these conversations. And, you know, I really enjoy, of course, I mean, I’ve said it already a few times, but enjoy being with my family and spending time with my family and all that kind of stuff. And my good friends and you know, I’ve got a handful of like super good friends that are near and dear to me. And you know, that’s that’s certainly it, but I just love talking entrepreneurship, Scott, I mean, I just really do it really gives me some flame and some power and some energy and I get up for these conversations.

that and I love the how you put that out there with regards to what you love, I aligned with that a lot as well and in your fullest service and you’re planting trees that you’re never gonna sit in the shade off and I absolutely love that about you, man. So then what is Pete’s definition of a life? Well, it?

Unknown Speaker 24:04
Well, I mean, we’ve talked a lot about it today. You’re gonna get Yeah, yeah, it’s life well lived. It’s like, enjoy, have good health. So I have a I have a long frame of of living. I mean, I, I want to live a very, very long life. So in health, so I don’t want to live a long life in a wheelchair and decrepit and not knowing, because we’ve had that in the family and it’s not fun, but doing everything I can to live a very long life in health, mentally, physically. So from that perspective, that’s, that was number one. And the question again, just to recap me there. So life well lived, life well lived, so long life in health, serving others, through all of all the stuff that we’ve chatted about today, you know, working through helping entrepreneurs I mean, I don’t think I’m ever going to retire Scott.

So favorite charity and our organization like to give your time or money to?

Unknown Speaker 28:44
We do a lot for the food bank.

Unknown Speaker 28:47
Please. Okay, very cool. You can elaborate on this one. I think I’m gonna know the answer now. But what’s the best decade of music? 60s 70s 80s or 90s 80s? Yeah, let’s do that. So like, I know we’re beating this like a dead horse. Okay, but like the 80s you had that? The incarnation of really rap? Right with DMC the Beastie Boys. Yeah, the glam bands the big hair don’t care. Springsteen John Cougar Yes. invasions from you to win Duran Duran and Culture Club. Whatever man. It was on

Unknown Speaker 29:18
the countryside. It was like Steve rural and Randy Travis Dwight Yoakam.

Unknown Speaker 29:24
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So Pete, man, how can we find your brother?

Unknown Speaker 29:29
Simplifying entrepreneurship pretty easy from that perspective? Yeah, just Google simplifying entrepreneurship. You’ll find my podcasts you’ll find my website, simplifying, entrepreneurship.com and pretty much anything you need to know or want to know about me. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 29:43
I love it. And squat, every single one of his links is going to be in the show notes. Make sure you check them out. And if you want a warm introduction, I’d love to do that. Between you and Pete. So Pete, if you’d give me one last solid and leave us with one last Knowledge Nugget we can take with us internalize it, take action on

Unknown Speaker 29:59
it. Yeah, I think I’ve already said it, but I’m gonna, I’m gonna hit you again, which is, if you’re a business owner, and you feel as though your business is owning you, you’re working the 50 6070 hours a week, and you’re looking back and you’re saying, I’m not getting the freedom that I want to get, then make some change around what we, you know, briefly chatted about today around around your product, your promise your people, your process, so that you can actually if you don’t change that stuff, it isn’t going to happen for you. So think about what it is you got into business four, are you enjoying those freedoms, and start looking at your business as a delivery mechanism to deliver those to you and start making the decisions within your business that are going to deliver them and if they don’t, then it’s not the good decision for you to make.

Unknown Speaker 30:53
Wow. And squad like by the time this app drops, I will have met Pete in person I’ll drop a picture down here in the show notes as well. But you know, he basically got a free masterclass man from my brother from another mother here, man, like we aligned so much like, you never saw himself really working for somebody else, you know, he became what we kind of affectionately call in our life, a serial entrepreneur, you know, a great coach, he’ll tell you is not a consultant, but he’ll make you not make you He will encourage you to make it to the pinnacle in whatever your passion is, you know, powerful discussions of what you want and drive your business to help you attain the five P’s promise product process, people in profit, go back to probably the 15 minute mark, and he really digs in a little bit with that, you know, and if you want to learn more, go to his website, which is down here in the show notes. Okay, squad. And basically Pete will help you revise what is you wanted, where you started in the first place, I’m not paraphrasing, I just butchered it. But he will help you fill in the gaps from what you wanted, where you got to. So if you most of the people that he works with are people that have really kind of reached that glass ceiling moment and wants to blast through and there’s gaps that you have and again, inch by inch, it’s a cinch by the yard. It’s hard. Pete will help you break those steps down. And it get to that level. You know, he helps entrepreneurs turn frustrations into freedoms, you know, he wants you if you’ve got an idea and you want to level up, get it out of your head onto paper to take those actionable steps. You know, you need to take it on, you know, like it take on, be yourself. But ask for help. Like my good friend Leah Woodford says Get your asking gear, get that mentor in note is even more important. As you move forward and you’ve learned five be that mantra for someone else. Okay. He’s going to be known as a good father, family man. He lives what he says he’s a community builder and a go giver. You know, minds, entrepreneurs are the backbone of every community, and what his job and what he feels his passion is, is to free up some of their time by putting him through his five step five Ps and action steps so they can automagically give back to their communities. You know, in nothing else happens without good health. I mean, I wake up I’m 50 years old, I’ve competed in combat sports my whole life. And basically, I have a check engine light that comes on every single morning and I know the process that it has to do that I have to do to level up my body and the exact same thing Pete does as well to level up and you want you to if you’re starting to feel like your business is owning you then let us make that warm introduction of Pete so we can get you through the five Ps and help you level up and Pete you level up your house you level up your wealth, your humble yet curious. And you’ve earned your varsity squad letter here at time to shine today. I’m so blessed to have you man. And man, I love your guts brother. I can’t wait to meet you in person a couple of weeks.
