Now maybe we need to talk about the cookie healthy cooking healthy food, because I think we all could use that. So, Adi, welcome to the show. Thank
Adi Klevit 3:28
you. Thank you, Pat. And I love the introduction. I mean, I like the idea like, how confident you are in your method, that you're going to write a $500 check if you don't find $10,000 right away. I think it's amazing.
Pat Mancuso 3:41
You know, it's, it's, uh, thank you for that. And it's funny, because if I actually talked with many entrepreneurs and business owners, and I shared one tax strategy with them, it's about $14,000 a year for most business owners. So if we just start with that, most of them are not taking advantage of things like that, but we offer way, way more. And I know you do as well. And in working with the clients that you work with, absolutely what I always like to do when we start these conversations, is talk with the entrepreneur and the business owner like yourself, and go back a little bit to a few pieces in their journey. And then, of course, we're going to jump into the great things you're doing for clients right now and your business so you your journey, you know, let's I would go all the way back to high school, because if we did that, both you and I would be here forever, particularly me. However, let's go back to when did you first kind of identify the entrepreneurial spirit, the entrepreneur inside of you? When did that happen and how did that come about?
Adi Klevit 4:41
You know, honestly, I think we have to go back to high school, because that's when I started, you know, it was I started my own tutoring business when I was in high school, and I was very successful at it. I mean, I was very good at it. I'm a very good teacher. Good at explaining things very simply. So I started with one student that I helped her with. My mom was actually taught by an English tutor. She tutored for years, English, English literature, etc. And she had a student that also needed help with math, and I was very good at math, and I helped her. And I was like, wow, I can really help that person, that kid, and she really started selling in school. I'm really good at that. I can do more. And I started using word of mouth. It just started. And I was, I will be working like, four or five hours almost every afternoon, you know, and making quite a big good money out of it, from it, and I was able to, then, you know, buy my own things that I wanted to buy without relying on my parents, and go like, wow, this is cool. This is freedom. Like you were talking about freedom, yes. And, you know, as a matter of fact, you know, we actually did a survey. We said, yeah. We asked entrepreneurs, what do you do? What do you find most desirable about being a business owner? And you're right. It said freedom, creativity, ability to create, being in control, my own destiny. And I realized that that's what you do when you have your own business. Yes, that is freedom. So that was the start of it, you know. And of course, you know, it evolved. And as you said, we can be here all afternoon talking about it, but if you want to go to the beginning, that's the beginning. Yeah,
Pat Mancuso 6:21
you know, at first, you know, I mean, kudos to you. As you know, personally, in our journey, in our family, we had to hire a tutor for our son, and this was an individual who graduated from high school, the same high school that my son went to. A number of, you know, a few years older, but without him, I'm not sure my son would have made it through school, graduated high school, he went on to culinary school, graduated culinary school, and I don't know that that would have happened without that tutor. So that absolutely has an impact on people. So, you know, that's, that's that is awesome. That is absolutely awesome. Thank
Adi Klevit 6:55
you. You know, as a matter of fact, I actually met one of my students that I probably tutored her, you know, at this point, probably like, you know, 30 something years ago, and she's now a mother, has three kids, but she still remembers. And she was, like, full of praise, and talking about, like, what an impact it made on her life. And I was like, wow, you know, this is what I do. What I do is because you make those that impact on people, and you are able to help people well, and
Pat Mancuso 7:22
That is true. And you know, you mentioned something a little bit earlier, based upon the survey that y'all did, and one of the things that you said came up was from entrepreneurs, was that that desire for freedom, and unfortunately, I don't know what you found, but many of them don't have that for for, you know, the reason that they actually became entrepreneurs, you know, they didn't go to, you know, college to get their entrepreneurial degree, although there's entrepreneurships programs starting now,
Adi Klevit 7:48
and even if they did, it's not the life that it's not what life teaches you, and it's not overcoming the obstacles that come, that are that exist every day. And it's not, it doesn't teach you how to deal with your employees and how to and all of that. It's just you. You can't learn it from experience.
Pat Mancuso 8:05
So what you're saying is, it's not the real world.
Adi Klevit 8:08
I agree. I mean, wouldn't you agree? I mean, you know, I went to school and studied it, and then I remember my first job, like, Oh, this is nothing like what I learned in college. It was great to spend four years and learning, but, yeah, this is a little bit
Pat Mancuso 8:19
different, little bit different, little bit different. Well, let me ask you this question. So in your journey as an owner, so we know where your entrepreneurial journey started, but as an owner now, over that, you know, over your life of being an owner, what has been the biggest surprise to you, that in that journey, like as an owner, like you weren't expecting it, or you maybe we're expecting it, but weren't expecting it to be to the degree that was what's been the biggest surprise. You
Adi Klevit 8:48
i know, honestly, I mean, I'm not surprised anymore, so I have to look back. But the biggest surprise was, like, when my first employee quit, you know, I had to fire an employee. Or, you know, when you feel like, when somebody is leaving you and they're no longer part of the business, you feel like the business is going to go bankrupt and collapse, and then you go, like, you know what, I can get over it. It's fine, you know, it is, of course, it's hard. I'm not saying it's nothing, and it's not, yeah, you know, it's not hard. It is. It's a challenge. But, I mean, that was, that was definitely a surprise. You know, getting through the pandemic was a surprise, you know, it was one of those things that you never expected, and you thought, oh my gosh, everything like, I remember April 2020 you know, it's kind of like April 2020 was okay. I was able to maintain some clients, and it was quick and riding along. And then May was like, wow, okay. And then I had to reinvent everything, which I did, but that was a surprise, because, you know, because we all went through it, right? So that's a surprise. So it's, you know, those things that you don't expect, you don't plan for your experience for the first time, and you think that this is horrible, and then you don't get used to it, or you figure out how to do it better, and things just. And better and better.
Pat Mancuso 10:00
Well, you know what's interesting, and I know that you'll probably, you know, agree with this in the work that you do. I don't think I've had one entrepreneur on either podcast that I've done. We started our podcast right at the pandemic. We've renamed it. But the point is, 100% of every business owner that I've ever asked that question generally says the biggest surprise was people's issues. And I know that doesn't surprise you, but it is. It is one of those almost absolutes. So let me ask you this question, what's been the biggest mistake that you've made? Now I know most people will say, well, mistakes are learning opportunities, and they truly are, but I always like to find out and learn from others, so I don't have to repeat those mistakes as a business owner. So from your perspective, what is the one thing, the one kind of you had to do it over, knowing what you know now that you would have done it differently at the time?
Adi Klevit 10:55
You know? I think, I mean, you know, we learn from the mistakes, as you said, but I think one thing that, looking back, is being too much of a generalist. When I started my business, and I don't know if it was a mistake, because honestly, you know, you start your own business and you go, Okay, what am I good at? Here's what I'm good at. I'm going to offer it, and it's kind of like spaghetti against the wall and whatever sticks. But then when I learned that I actually have a niche, and I should concentrate on that niche, that's when my business really took off, because that was a needed need, and it also allowed me to improve the quality and concentrate on specific processes and procedures to achieve a result every single time. And that was very important, that one is, of course, you know, not hiring and not expanding soon enough, because as soon as I start delegating and expanding it, and, you know, it's, it's not perfect yet, but it's definitely, you know, the move in the right direction. So that's also a lesson learned.
Pat Mancuso 11:55
Yeah, very common, very common. So then let's flip the switch a little bit and go, what's the biggest success that you're most proud of in terms of, maybe it was a product you launched, maybe it was a service that, you know, hit scale. Maybe it had an impact on a client. What do you feel like your biggest success has been in that entrepreneurial journey?
Adi Klevit 12:15
You know, I think it's developing our product and developing our services and being able to step outside the box, outside of my comfort zone, I think I'm really proud of the network that I developed. That's really I'm really grateful for the connections that I have that didn't it's, it wasn't like a natural thing for me to just, I mean, I didn't know how to network. I didn't know how to create connections. But now I have such a vast network, and I enjoy it. I enjoy the people. I enjoy the connections. That's a success. I really enjoy my team. Yesterday, we had a staff meeting every Monday, and I saw it's virtual because, you know, we are remote, and I looked at the screen and I got like, you know, it was like, one more, you know, it's another square, not a square. Another square showed up on the screen, and there was, like, all the squares and like, wow, this is like, I'm so proud of it, and I'm so proud of the smiling faces and the people that enjoy working that we enjoy working together. It just makes me very happy. Yeah, it's
Pat Mancuso 13:13
it's a pretty cool feeling. And of course, the success of my clients, I
Adi Klevit 13:18
mean, that is, like, that's top everything. Like, when I hear a success story, when I get a success story, when I hear people are doing well, and they expanded and grew, and they're doing better than ever, and are using what we're using, what we created for them, that is priceless.
Pat Mancuso 13:32
Yeah, absolutely well, and you talked about networking, and obviously I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Rise25 and John and Dr Jeremy, and that's how we got connected, and that networking piece is a really important part of it, so there's no doubt about that. That helps Absolutely.
Adi Klevit 13:49
Yeah, I love Jeremy and John, and they produce my podcast, and that is really what I started, just like you during the pandemic, I started a podcast. It was the new way of networking, and I met so many great people, great conversations and great connections,
Pat Mancuso 14:06
absolutely, absolutely. Okay, so let's shift gears. Let's get really into why I love to bring people like you to the podcast. And that is this, I find that if you ask the majority of business owners, which I do tell me, what is your exit point like, what's your endgame? In terms of, it doesn't have to be a specific number, it doesn't even have to be a specific time, it doesn't even have to be a specific way. But ask me, you know, I want to ask people if they've thought about that, and the majority of the time they have it, and it'd be simply like, I'm in Minnesota, driving down to Florida, not putting in an address in the GPS. Eventually, I'll probably get to Florida, but I might end up in Texas before I get to Florida. So I want to start off with this conversation with you, of really the premise of we want to help people get to that destination. And you're. Bracing it and putting it in place. From your perspective,
Adi Klevit 20:04
you know, I there, there's probably the first of all is, why do they struggle? Is it because it's easier to go and sell or easier to go talk to somebody or do business development than to sit down and actually document your processes. So that's number one,
Pat Mancuso 20:23
it's easier to not slow down, to speed up, is what you're saying. Like, no, stop for just a second and build this out. And they go, No, I want to do that
Adi Klevit 20:31
right exactly. It's looking into the future, as opposed to the gratification, the instant gratification of the now, and what energizes them in terms of, let's go to another networking event, or let's have another sales meeting and let's close another deal. And I feel so energized, but no, I don't want to have the I mean, I don't have the time to sit, quote, unquote, don't have the time because don't have the time, meaning, I don't want to invest the time right in sitting and doing it. So it's, it's, maybe it's just because we ask that question every time I meet with a prospective client, so why? Why aren't you not doing it yourself? Well, it's always lack of time or lack of know how, and the lack of time is, basically, I'm not going to invest time doing that, because I prefer doing something else. So those are the two questions that I get two answers. I love it. Um, yeah. So it's really a matter of, like, you know, because you are so in that catch 22, of them just, I'm just running and running and running and running and running the business, and I'm doing it, and I'm doing and I'm doing more, and I'm hustling and hustling and hustling. I'm not going to stop, organize in order for me to create a future here. Yeah, yeah, it, it,
Pat Mancuso 21:36
just it, you know, sitting on our side of the table, if you may. You know, you see it and I see it, and it's, it's easy for us to look at it being outside of it, right? We don't have to worry about, you know, meeting payroll in that company. We have to worry about meeting in our own company. So it's easy. It's easy for us to do that. And yet, the whole point of it is, when you step out of it, from day to day, you can see it so much clearer. And that's why consultants generally can help clients to a high degree, because they see it, but they see it with a different lens. And that's why it's such a valuable resource to have folks like you doing what you're doing, and particularly in that area, I love that, that niche perspective, if you may, from the systems, because you're right. There's a value add there when you can and it's not just value at the exit, right? It's a value -add to go on vacation. It's value add if you lose an employee, you've got a system to just bring in now and implement that somebody can jump into,
Adi Klevit 22:34
yeah. And it's a value add also in terms of customer service and risk mitigation, because the value that you provide for your customers is so much higher because you know you have consistency, or you have the process dialed in. So the experience, the customer service experience, is so much better that you also gain more customers, more referrals, more word of mouth, etc.
Pat Mancuso 22:56
So let me ask you this. This is the kind of one that you may have to pause for a little bit, but if you had to look at systems right, and you had to take systems in terms of, let's say, sales, operations, finance, and there's probably 12 other ones you guys have. But my question is, if you were to be talking with someone today and they're listening to this, what would be the first, most important system that you would encourage a business owner to implement. Now it might be an unfair question, but I sometimes ask unfair
Adi Klevit 23:27
No, that's fine, you know. And my answer to it is very simple, the system that I would recommend that you implement is the one that will get you the biggest return on investment, whatever your return on investment is. So for instance, if right now your sales are suffering, or you or, let's say you want to delegate the sales hat and you want to hire another estimator. Document your sales processes. Let's say, right now you're bringing on a new employee in operations. Document, operations, you know. Let's say, for instance, you know HR, you know there is a problem with HR. Or you know that if you document HR, you will be able or maybe your HR manager is leaving. And you know that, you know there is a wealth of information there documenting that. So it's whatever that, I mean, it's a very simple answer, and it's not a cookie cutter. Every business will have its own process that they will have to document.
Pat Mancuso 24:22
Yeah, I, and I kind of knew that that was going to be the answer. And then, you know, there, I've always heard this, what's the best system to implement, one that you'll use, right? So people have a lot
Adi Klevit 24:32
There always has to be a return on investment. You know? You have to have that absolutely,
Pat Mancuso 24:37
absolutely. So, let me ask you this. So I'm an entrepreneur. I've said, Okay, Addy, I want to bring in a system, right? And then we talk about a system. What's the biggest struggle after they make that commitment to implement that system? Do you see a big challenge there? Sometimes,
Adi Klevit 24:53
you know the challenge once they make it a commitment? Yeah, they. They do it, you know, of course, you know. And I, and I make sure that it happens, myself and my team make sure that it happens if they don't because when we're there, there is accountability, there is like a commitment. There is, you know, it's an investment. They are investing already, so they are using it. But I think it might be one of the challenges, could be resistance from an employee to do that, because we don't just work with the owner. We work to extract knowledge from employees. But then there is a problem. There is a problem with culture. There is a problem that you already have an employee that is not, either not in the right seat or not the right fit for your culture. So we have ways to overcome that. You know, we always make sure that we get buy-in from all the employees, that we reassure them that this is not going to affect their job security, etc. So that can be a challenge. Another challenge that I see is getting rid of all habits instead of actually referring to the procedures, and then answering the question like, how do you do that? Well, let me answer you. Let me tell you, you know, as opposed to actually going look at the procedures. What are the procedures saying? Right,
Pat Mancuso 26:12
right, right? That, and that makes perfect sense, right? Human beings, the habits they're hard to break, sometimes, particularly ones that we're comfortable in, what we do eight hours a day. That's right. Let me ask you this. This is going to be a fun question, and it's just one that popped into my head. And sometimes when they pop into my head, they're kind of like, Oh, I gotta ask it. So you've been in a number of organizations over your journey. What's been kind of the weirdest thing you've discovered in going in and of course, you gotta protect the guilty here. But you went into an organization, they had a system in place, and you went like, Holy Hannah, like you really function with this system in place, anything that comes to mind?
Adi Klevit 26:50
Well, yeah, I mean, you see it like, you know, they you invent different methods of doing things, like using, you know, 10 XL spreadsheets in order to do something that you know you can actually implement with the software, or doing this or doing that, when you can actually automate it as an example, right? Or doing things because that's the way we've always done it, yeah, okay,
Pat Mancuso 27:13
Okay, so, yeah, you're gonna see things like that don't logically make sense, and maybe they work, but they certainly didn't work at a high level in scale. So when you've been on this journey, right? So you come into an organization, how do you then interact with that organization in terms of the process? And I know it's going to be longer, the longer answer, you know, to kind of put you on the spot. But if you said, Okay, here's the three things that we do to implement a system in an organization for folks that, if, like, maybe they aren't in a position to hire you or you know, but they know they need to change a system. What might you say to somebody who needs to change a system today? Yeah.
Adi Klevit 27:57
So the first thing is design. Right? You have to identify the system, and then design it. Process Map it. You know you have to map what you have. You have to map the different ingredients. You have to map where we're at. And then what you do is you start documenting it, okay? And after that, you look for ways to improve you, way ways to do better, ways to create an improvement, and then you know, you have to make sure you implement it, and you have to make sure it's being followed by all
Pat Mancuso 28:33
So I think I know the answer to this question, but I'm going to ask it anyway. Does it ever stop? Do you ever stop updating, changing, upgrading systems. No,
Adi Klevit 28:43
absolutely not. It's a continual improvement, and it's a commitment, but it's something that definitely has the return on investment. So, yes, yeah,
Pat Mancuso 28:54
I remember in Ryan's book Scalable, he tells this story about companies where they create all these great systems, and then the system sits on the shelf, and nobody uses them. And, you know, you always get because I'm sure that happens in a lot of companies, right, like, you know, the owner or the CEO brings in this, this, you know, brings in somebody like you, and they do this incredible job of doing things, and then all of a sudden, like, a month later, it's like, they don't know where the the manual is, and they dot. They never dusted it off. So I figured that was the answer, that it never stopped. So I wanted to kind of get that on the table. That's true. Happened? What haven't I asked you so far that I should ask you about what you do with the impact that you're having on clients?
Adi Klevit 29:36
You know, I think you did very well on asking a lot of questions. So I think it's really, you know, it's really defining the ROI of the project. And we talked about it, but I want to emphasize it again, like, why are you going to be engaged in this project? What are the benefits you're going to get? And I think that's the main point. That's
