Let’s Grow Together

What are the best referral sources? Whats the best strategy? These are common questions for home care businesses, however, on today's episode of Let's Grow Together Gregg Mazza breaks down what it truly takes to get results.

Gregg got into the home care business because he saw the struggles his mother went through trying to care for his elderly grandmother as she was aging.  In 2006, he started his entrepreneurial dream of owning a home care agency only to come face to face with the harsh realities of owning a 24-7 home care business.

After almost running out of cash in 2010, and recognizing that the way he was taught to sell was not working consistently enough in his business, Gregg went on a mission to change.  He invested heavily in himself learning from people way smarter than him.  Over the next 12 months, he was able to turn things around by increasing revenue over $1M in 12 months and going from the brink of disaster, to creating a home care agency with over 150 caregivers and the business eventually running mostly without he and his partner.

For those of you that care about credentials.  Gregg has an MBA from the University of South Florida, over 22 years of sales and sales management experience in predominately service based industries including recruiting.  He and his partner owned their home care agency for over a decade in the Tampa area.  Gregg is also a former Certified Senior Advisor.

In 2016 he and his partner sold their home care agency and moved out of state.  Now his obsession is helping home care owners achieve their own revenue breakthrough, in an effort to help them create freedom in their own business.  Gregg does this by teaching other home care owners his “Rapid Referral” Training system that lays out a step by step proven sales process for gaining referrals in the senior care industry as well as his “Home Care Recruiting Framework- 4 GAPS method” program. Gregg also provides other consulting services in the home care space on topics such as organizational structure and design, establishing KPIs, recruiting systems, proven sales management, marketing strategies, and more

He has helped hundreds of clients worldwide scale their business using his sales and recruiting systems.  He has a Facebook group for Home Care Owners only with over 3,500 members called Home Care Breakthrough Solutions for Service Providers.

I am so unbelievably honored and grateful to have had the opportunity to interview my mentor and coach. He has changed the course of my life in more ways than one and he may just change yours as well.

On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I proudly introduce James Wedmore as he shares his secrets to growing his business to $10 Million. Hint: It's not a marketing strategy.

In 2016, James made a massive shift to focus on a big gap missing in the marketplace: the mindset needed for entrepreneurship. He launched a totally woo-woo podcast, the Mind Your Business Podcast and his signature program, Business By Design.

Today he helps coaches, experts, content creators, and authors not only to craft better marketing messages but also how to ditch the “hustle” mentality and create success from the inside out.

On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I talk with high performance fitness and life coach Tommy McCollister where he shares how to set your mind up for success.

Tommy McCollister was achieving all he could imagine or want, but it wasn’t enough...

What he didn’t know was, it never would be. With lots of free time, all his financial needs met, an amazing wife and two awesome kids. Yet, he was numb. No passion, No purpose, depression and anxiety filled his days.

It didn’t matter that he had become a top ranked BMX bicycle racer on the national circuit, performed music alongside major artists, developed a shredded muscular physique, and worked as a successful coach of high level athletes and body composition clients.

He thought to himself, “There HAS to be more to life than this!”

That was the EXACT thought that changed the whole course of his life!! Tommy took his overachiever attitude that he had for “selfish” goals and started splitting that up amongst the things that ULTIMATELY mattered.

Tommy and his wife Dianne made BOLD move after BOLD move, which ultimately led to them launching their Coaching Business! Since then they have helped countless people transform their lives and accomplish things they feared they never would!!

Their mission is to help driven men and women find the balance and the body to match the business, while being at peace with themselves!!!

On today's episode of Let's Grow Together, I talk with Jason Brown where he shares his secrets to how he was able to build a 6 figure business while still working a full time job. He has invested in a lot more than stocks and you're going to love the powerful insights that he shares.

When Jason was 19 years old, he wanted to skip working Saturday's at my day job. To do that, he needed an extra $50 a week. That's when I first started getting acquainted with the stock market.

Once he accomplished that goal with trading, he continued to pull at the stock market thread and unraveled knowledge and trading strategies. His thirst to gain insight on this incredible opportunity to make my money work for me did not stop there. At the age of 23, he grew my $10,000 student loan into a six-figure trading account in under a year.

Even after 15 years of trading, his passion for the stock market has not waned. It's the fire behind starting The Brown Report and stock market education.

The fact that he is successful in this industry is proof that you can be, too - you just need the right education and guidance.
