EP #171: You Are the Standard
Aug 26, 2026
How many decisions in your business are you making based on what everyone else in your industry is doing?
There are a lot of things local business owners treat like rules simply because “that’s how everyone does it.”
Pricing. Offers. Policies. Marketing. Even what they believe is possible in their city. In this episode, I’m challenging you to question all of it.
Tune into this episode to learn:
- Why the “industry standard” may be one of the biggest things keeping you from becoming the local go-to
- The problem with using what other businesses post, charge, sell, or achieve as evidence for what you should do
- The question I want you asking instead of, “What does everyone else in my industry do?”
