In this episode, Dan LaBroad speaks to Clint Bowers about Smart Business Concepts LLC and how businesses fail or succeed based on planning. Business shouldn’t be guesswork. With the right expertise, numbers can tell you almost everything. We discuss how analytics, planning and going full Sherlock into your numbers can find you more profit. Instead of digging for clues, you’re digging for dollars. And you can usually find a lot of value hidden in the cracks. Clint also talks about the challenges in growing his own business, and difficulties in hiring, recruitment, and the importance of a defined culture in an organization.
