Have you thought about how your business will continue to serve four generations in the future? In this episode, Jeff and David discuss: Why loving and serving people is the secret to success. Starting a business young and making every mistake three times. Scaling even without planning to sell. Multi-generational businesses in multiple industries. Multiplying every tool you’ve been given. Key Takeaways: You should always run your organization with an outward, not an inward, focus. Invite people into the ministry, whatever that looks like for your organization, with no pressure. Reserve the time and just ask. Like with tithing, when you take time to give to God, He will give back to you in ways you can’t imagine. We have clear evidence in scripture that when people steward in God’s way, great blessings will come. Think long-term when making short-term decisions. "We've said that if someone said, ‘you can no longer do Bible study,’ we literally would probably close down the company, because it's the lifeblood of what we do, and it has tremendous impact on our people, and we've seen people grow in their faith, we've seen people come to know God in a deeper way." — David McDonald About David McDonald: David and his brothers are third-generation automobile dealers based out of Denver. In 1991, alongside his brother and college roommates from the University of Oklahoma, David founded Escalante Golf, a boutique owner and operator of luxury golf properties. In 2004, David moved the company’s headquarters to Fort Worth to help fuel its growth. Escalante Golf now stewards 25 properties in 17 states.
