Welcome to Biz Dev Live with Cameron Toth. Today, we're excited to feature Cory Myers, a lifelong entrepreneur and the owner of Lubbock Consulting (Now Gravir Strategists). Cory brings a wealth of experience from both the business world and his military background, particularly from his service with the 101st Airborne Division in aviation operations and as a program director with Microsoft SharePoint.
Cory's journey into entrepreneurship was sparked by a moment of clarity during a less fulfilling job in Chicago. Recognizing his innate knack for process improvement and leveraging his diverse experiences, he embarked on creating Lubbock Consulting (Now Gravir Strategists). His story is a testament to the power of self-reflection and recognizing one’s true capabilities beyond the confines of a job description.
Watch It:
"A lot of people are very comfortable with brow sweat and getting their hands dirty, and that's fine, but especially on the small business level, right, you have to do that to an extent but focusing on your capacity issue is saying, 'Hey, I need to be able to step back and watch things happen and manage’ versus ‘the only way to get this done is if I'm in the mud.'”
Cory emphasizes the importance of planning, process improvement, and the need for businesses, especially those in the early stages or small-scale operations, to focus on capacity and customer experience. His approach is centered around providing value and leveraging one's unique strengths to drive significant growth.
Cory's Three Key Takeaways for Business Success:
Hire a Mentor or Coach: Seek guidance from someone who has navigated the path you're on and can offer objective, actionable advice.
Focus on Capacity Expansion: Your ability to deliver exceptional service is as crucial as your sales efforts. Ensuring that your business can sustainably grow and manage an increasing workload is essential for long-term success.
Measure Twice, Cut Once: Thorough planning and consideration before taking action can save resources and avoid potential pitfalls. It's about making informed decisions that align with your business goals.
Cory Myres’ insights serve as a valuable resource for companies looking to scale their operations and achieve significant growth. His blend of military discipline, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to continuous improvement positions him as a leading figure in business consulting, especially for companies aiming to expand their impact in the market.
