Powering Up Your Company - James Wagoner - The Revenue Maze - Episode # 011

The Revenue Maze

James Wagoner is the CEO at Joule Case. He’s passionate about impacting lives through new technology. When he was coming out of college he saw the need for a better system to provide power to heavy machinery rather than using gasoline. James wanted to find a solution that was better for the environment and was more efficient for the companies as well. James joins host Valerie Cobb to talk about how he found his way out of the maze of revenue and some of his tips for others to grow their business successfully.

Takeaways

• To get out of the revenue maze, you want to start with one thing and make that your product market fit. Once you have that, then you can really narrow down to what exactly you can do.
• Gaining the trust of current and potential clients is how you can make deals work for you. Sometimes you have to demonstrate that you are worthy of their trust.
• The electric power space is gaining a lot of popularity right now as an alternative to using gasoline and hydrogen power.
• You can expand your hold in your market area once you are sure about what your company does and the goal of the company.
• When it comes to running a business, expect things to take longer and cost more money than you were expecting.
• Don’t go into your business thinking you know everything or be too proud. Approach each situation as an opportunity to learn.
• Have a growth mindset and be open and honest with yourself and your clients, and you will see the benefit for your business.
