Robert Poole pt 1
How many of you are running a business? Now, don’t get hung up on that term, “running a business.” If you are working for a company, you are “running a business.” You are trying to do your job, obtain recognition, pay raises and job security. You’re in the business of promoting yourself. Amen.
If you are in full time ministry – I guarantee you are operating a business.
If you are self-employed – you are running a business. If you are in the corporate world, you are running a business.
Basically, unless you are already in Heaven and have left this earth, you are in the process of “running a business.” Amen! Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good!
Our guest today is Robert Poole, a West Point graduate, and because of that, of course, he is a former Army officer. He has worked in Commercial and Residential real estate; in corporate recruiting, and investment sales – all prior to co-founding “Total Business Results,” a B2B cold calling, appointment setting and lead generation marketing company.
As an experienced business to business marketer, Robert Poole and his marketing business was thriving. They specialized in cold call marketing for businesses for more than 22 years. Then, unexpectedly, he lost his business partner and found himself now running the company, by himself, with the workload that usually kept two people busy.
We can understand how that king of stress would rapidly build up to a dangerous level, with not enough time in the day – every day - and how that would drastically affect his personal life as well.
But, he found himself drawing closer to God and, as usually is the case, God opened a way to untie himself from the day to day operations of the business and become an “owner” of the business instead of an “operator” of the business.
He now helps other entrepreneurs make that transition from “operator” to “owner” and gain that free time – and if you’re honest with yourself, is probably the reason you entered the business world anyway! Amen! Praise God!
I know I can use this information we are going to learn today. Amen! Come on! I know I’m not alone out there.. Praise God!
Help me welcome to the program, Robert Poole! Praise God! Robert, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it!
The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Robert Poole?”
As we get started, I want to thank you for your time in military service. I try to recognize every veteran we have on the program because, as we discussed prior to starting the recording, my twelve years in the military is still a very big part of who I am today – and I just enjoy talking to other vets who are blessing others in what they do as well. So thank you for making that sacrifice of that part of your life.
Let’s jump to the big upset in your life that got you where you’re at today. You lost your longtime business partner in 2017 and that changed your trajectory for both, your business and your life. Can you share some of the details and how this affected you, personally and professionally?
