I Had to Get Out of My Own Way - Mike Somodean - MSCS Inc
It’s not easy to grow a business and make it efficient. Many of us struggle to make it happen and it doesn’t help that the trades are full of guys with lots of pride and stubbornness. We often times get the mindset that we have to do everything on our own and that because we know our trade well, that we know how to run our business well. Knowing your trade and knowing how to run a business are two separate skills though and we have to normalize this.
Mike Somodean is the owner of MSCS Inc in Roswell Georgia. After moving from Romania in 2003, he started MSCS Inc in 2006 and hasn’t looked back. Along the way he has gotten married, had a son, made the NWFA 40 under 40, and even won NWFA Floor of the Year. Mike is also a NWFA certified installer, sand and finisher, sales advisor, and regional instructor. All of these accolades help push his craft and business forward but along the way he realized he couldn’t figure it all out himself and needed some help. Mike had to get out of his own way and let others step in with doing what they are best at.
Listen in to this weeks episode of the Floor Academy podcast as Mike and I discuss why he hired a business coach to move his business beyond where he was at. What changes he had to make before coming to that decision, and how it has impacted his professional and personal life.
