Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. For most ranchers, the hardest part isn’t raising the cattle, but what happens after they leave the farm. Once they’re loaded onto someone else’s truck, so is most of the control. Processing, distribution and, too often, the biggest share of the profit all belong to somebody else. Steven McBee Jr. looked at that system years ago and decided he wasn’t going to keep playing by its rules. So while Washington is now investing up to $500 million to strengthen small and midsize meat processors, the 33-year-old rancher has spent the better part of a decade…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways If no one can name who authorized a rule or why it exists, it’s probably not a real policy — it’s a habit wearing a costume. Kill it. Each extra approval or check costs a minute. Multiply across every employee, every week, and you’re paying salaries to wait, not produce. Removing friction is cheaper than buying growth. Cut the red tape you never approved before adding another headcount. Every successful business relies on policies and procedures. Policies and procedures create consistency, improve quality and allow organizations to move in a…
Things are looking sunny side up at Eggs Up Grill. The breakfast franchise, founded in 1997 in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, has surpassed 110 locations and now claims the title of largest actively franchising breakfast brand in the country, according to FSR Magazine. Much of the growth has come under the watch of CEO Ricky Richardson, who left his post as president and COO of TGI Fridays in 2018 to take the top spot at Eggs Up Grill. Since his arrival, the egg emporium, which specializes in traditional southern fare like chicken-fried steak and eggs and chicken and waffles, has…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. At my marketing agency, we’ve worked with a few hundred property management companies over the last eight-plus years. And the single most common pattern I see when a new client comes to us is this: they have done some version of “SEO” already. They have a website. They have a blog with 12 posts on it. They have a Google Business Profile that someone claimed and half-filled out three years ago. And they have no idea why none of it is working. The answer, almost every time, is the same. They built…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Entrepreneurs should view a product or service as a composition of constituent parts that add value to one another in order to satisfy a defined set of requirements, not as a single entity. I refer to this perspective as the art of the value chain. The entrepreneurial significance of this art lies in the fact that opportunities rarely exist in isolation — they’re embedded within compositions of value. What distinguishes an entrepreneur isn’t the ability to spot a market opportunity — it’s understanding the nuance of the composition and the…
