Key Takeaways:
Being a family-first person can influence and shape the nature of your businesses and schedule. From their experiences, the character Anthony Hartzog explained the importance they place on spending time with their family, and how that factored into their decision to focus primarily on a residential cleaning business.
The power of being proactive and solution-oriented in business was reiterated. Rather than accepting the inefficiencies of existing systems, companies like the Hartzog's cleaning business sought to simplify and streamline processes for their clients, including online booking and payment.
Faith plays a significant role in their lives and businesses. It is one of their foundational values and guides their financial decisions. Tithing, for instance, was a non-negotiable practice for them, even as they worked on paying off debt.
Anthony highlighted the significance of having clear communication and boundaries when working with a spouse. They stressed the need for understanding each other's strengths and using them to complement each other's work rather than cause friction.
Having a long-term perspective on wealth was underscored. Generational wealth, from ensuring their daughter's financial stability to setting up a trust, are all part of their financial strategy.
