We were lucky to catch up with JOSH MASON recently and have shared our conversation below.
Hi JOSH, thanks for joining us today. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?
Business ownership can change ones life – ditching the ‘security’ of a ‘9-5’ to pursue an actionable idea has been one the most rewarding choices of my life. Getting an earlier start with business ownership would have meant more time, money and freedom on the backend. If there is an idea you have, fueled by potential and passion, find a way to to deliver that ‘problem solving’ value to your clients – positively impact and change their life and it will inevitably change yours as well.
JOSH, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Private investigator for 7 years. Got into the industry through family. My father is my primary inspiration, as he was in Military and Law Enforcement, ultimately retiring and opening his own Private Security business. These roots provided the foundation for the Private Investigation business that was to come.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
We do everything in our power to deliver actionable intelligence to our clients. This is what we believe helps to ‘foster the brand’ and keep clients coming back – results. We are a results driven organization, plain and simple. We strive to make each case our best work.
Have you ever had to pivot?
Choosing to expand the business was a bit of a pivot. I saw opportunities in other regions and knew there was work to be done. This ‘pivot’ was spurred primarily by budding professional goals, financial need, and desire for increased mobility. I have found that both ‘macro’ and ‘micro’ pivots are required on a routine basis year over year, whether its new pricing or adjusting approaches, sometimes a ‘shake up’ is needed. An old mentor once told me “if your business is not growing, you’re dying!”. With that in mind, when faced with the business choice of staying small and local, or expanding to new regions and markets, there was no real choice.
