In this episode of the #MeetCoolPeople Podcast, I had the pleasure of hanging with with Tomas Keenan, a former car audio installer turned business coach. Tomas and I share a passion for systems and processes, and our conversation was filled with a ton of value for entrepreneurs looking to streamline their operations and achieve sustainable growth.
Key takeaways from our conversation include:
- **The Importance of Core Values:** Tomas emphasized the significance of clearly defined values in business operations. Implementing core values in daily business activities helps avoid struggles and painful experiences, especially in the hiring process.
- **Documenting Processes and Delegating Tasks:** We discussed the G3 method and the strategy of gradually delegating lower-value tasks to focus on higher-impact activities such as lead generation and sales conversations. Tomas highlighted the need to identify and delegate $10 an hour tasks and stressed the importance of documentation using tools like Loom to record processes for ongoing access by team members.
- **Start Small, Be Prepared for the Long Journey:** Thomas offered valuable advice for entrepreneurs, emphasizing the need to start small, be prepared for a longer journey, and never give up. His insights serve as an encouragement to small business owners who are looking to scale their operations.
Tomas' approach to coaching entrepreneurs on building systems and processes, combined with his personal experiences and actionable advice, made for a great conversation that we could both geek out on!
If you're a business owner looking to streamline your operations, delegate effectively, and scale your business, then this episode is a must-listen.

We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.

It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
