In this episode of the Entrepreneur's Logbook Podcast, we sit down with Scott Beebe, Founder of Business On Purpose, a company dedicated to liberating business owners from chaos through systems, processes, and purpose-driven strategies.

Episode Highlights:

• [00:01:00 ] Scott shares his diverse background, from telemarketing to pharmaceutical sales to pastoral work and eventually founding Business On Purpose.


• [00:03:00 ] The value of "reps" - how repeated experience in different environments builds the expertise needed to guide business owners.


• [00:05:00 ] Scott explains how chaos manifests in small businesses through common phrases like "I spend my whole day putting out fires" and "throwing Hail Marys just to get through the day."


• [00:07:00 ] The subtle ways chaos deceives business owners into believing "there's no other way" to run their operations.


• [00:09:00 ] How outside vendors should reduce chaos, not create more of it - a key principle when seeking help.


• [00:12:00 ] The importance of awareness moments that give business owners a "shot of joy" amidst the ongoing vigilance against chaos.


• [00:14:00 ] Scott shares the RPMs of great leadership: Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning - the framework for creating stability.


• [00:16:00 ] A powerful real-world example of chaos striking: two team members losing their fathers on the same day before a major event.


• [00:17:00 ] The 85-15 rule: How businesses should strive to predict 85% of what happens while allowing for the 15% that requires unique brilliance.


• [00:19:00 ] Thomas Edison's wisdom: "Vision without implementation is hallucination" - the critical importance of execution.


• [00:22:00 ] How Scott vets potential clients with a 26-point checklist and requires specific time commitments rather than accepting "whatever it takes" answers.


• [00:24:00 ] The danger of isolation for business owners and the value of community - "They come for the content, but they stay for the connection."


• [00:28:00 ] Scott's concept of "work worth doing" and how it shapes Business On Purpose's high-touch, relationship-based coaching model.


• [00:30:00 ] Final advice: Either commit to creating systems with repetition, predictability, and meaning, or "quit and get a job" - the honest truth about business ownership.
