MFP 109: Planning for the Future

To grow a successful business it takes dedication, hard work, consistency, a good business plan, new customers, and about 50 other things. And when you do it right it’s a wonderful thing and your business can take off. But one day you might look up and have an amazing business and realize you’ve gained 20 lbs, haven’t talked to your friends in 2 months and can’t remember the last time you did something fun for yourself. Work life balance is a tricky thing to keep on top of and today we’ll talk about how we’ve both failed at it and what we’ve done to get better.

The sponsor of today’s episode is 3M. Are you the fastest weld grinder in America? 3M wants you to prove it. They’re looking for 12 metalworkers to go head-to-head in the second annual 3M Clash of the Grinders at this year’s Fabtech conference in Chicago November 12.

Go to 3M.com/PodClash to enter. 12 grinders will be chosen to compete in a grind-off, taking down three 4” welds. One with a fiber disc, one with a grinding wheel, and one with a flap disc.

Whoever does it the fastest wins the grand prize package, including a Speedglas welding helmet and 3M Cubitron II grinding wheels and discs. Not to mention bragging rights for a year! Go to 3M.com/PodClash to sign up.
