Sid (Host): Hi, this is Sid Graf with the Huge Transformation Podcast, and I had the absolute delight to interview my good friend, Ethan Moore. Ethan Moore has Moore Exteriors out in Branson, Missouri. He's been in business for—well, he's been in business probably most of his life. Let's get this piece started—with gumball machines and vending machines. But he's grown this business from scratch to a sizable power washing company, but he's also a real estate investor, and he's done some other cool things. But today, when you listen to this podcast—I hope you enjoy it as much as I did—you’re going to learn about how Ethan thinks about time and being time rich, and some of the principles that he and his wife have applied for years that have compounded to give them a great season of life with their young children. He said they've always lived below their means, and then he also is very deliberate about how he ends the day so that his mind and thoughts can be free to spend with his wife and family and he's not distracted.

Liz explains her framework for prioritizing high-impact tasks, stresses the importance of avoiding overwork, and highlights how reading has driven her business growth. Whether you’re a small cleaning company or a larger service business, Liz’s story reveals how to break limiting beliefs, delegate effectively, and build multiple successful ventures without sacrificing your sanity.

Thanks for joining us on the Wild Journey of Entrepreneurship. Let’s dive in. Sid (Host): Hello, my friends. Thank you for joining us today on the Huge Transformations Podcast. I’m your host, Sid Graef, and today I’ve got Liz Trotter with us. Liz is in—you're in Olympia, Washington, right? Liz (Guest): I am, yes. Hi! Sid (Host): What a beautiful area. Liz (Guest): Not as much today, but yes—normally, it is gorgeous here. Sid (Host): Liz, you own several businesses, one of which is Core Profit Builders, which is a coaching program, right? You help others win in business. What types of businesses do you have, and where did you start in your business journey? Liz (Guest): So my very first business was dry cleaning—a dry cleaners. That’s where I learned about the science of cleaning. Then I had residential cleaning, then I had seven residential cleaning businesses, a bit of commercial cleaning, and also some real estate LLCs. Currently, I have some real estate LLCs, one cleaning business, one coaching business, and a small commercial thing. Sid (Host): Did you start so many businesses because you get bored quickly? Liz (Guest): I’m really good at grabbing onto opportunities when they come my way. (Laughs) Actually, sometimes I’m good at it, sometimes I’m not. I’ll see someone doing something and think, “Ooh, can I do that with you?” That’s how I end up doing stuff. Sid (Host): So with all these companies—like five, six, or seven different enterprises—you obviously can’t do them all alone. How do you attract talent to run them? Liz (Guest): I have one team that helps run all the companies. The team handles hiring, firing, so I don’t do much in them. Like we’re part-owners in a construction company, and I don’t do anything, zero, except read the P&L. So, yes, it’s mostly overhead people who do the actual work. The only business I really work in is Core Profit Builders. Sid (Host): Got it. So what project are you most excited about? Liz (Guest): Core Profit Builders is my newest, sort of my retirement gig, to help residential cleaning businesses grow bigger. That industry has been so fractured—people rarely go beyond a million in revenue. I’m out to change that mindset, get...
