The Premium Mindset
How to DOUBLE Your Business Revenue in 12 Months Ep 1

Whether your a business owner, or a CEO finding ways to improve your team, this a must-watch episode of Premium Mindset. This week, Evan Ritchey and Cameron Bawden sit down with Rick from Sun Bro's to reverse engineer his path from $350k to $600k in annual revenue.

Most entrepreneurs plateau under $1 Million in revenue because they haven't found the process to evaluate their data and operations. If you want to scale to $1 Million+, you have to find places to maximize your companies value.

In this episode of Premium Mindset, break down the exact math of scaling, from lead cost to conversion efficiency. If you want to double your growth in 2026, this breakdown is your blueprint.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The "Reverse Engineering" formula for hitting any revenue goal.
  • How and why staying "on the truck" is killing your growth.
  • How to transition from owner-operator to a true CEO.
  • The 3 KPIs every entrepreneur must track: Contact Rate, Close Rate, and Service Percentage.

The Premium Mindset
How to BUILD a Team of Leaders

Grow your business, and optimize your team. In this episode of Premium Mindset, we break down the critical distinction between hiring a "helper" who just follows orders and a "leader" who takes ownership of results. Learn valuable insights and other must-know processes that every business owner, CEO, manager, should know.

Most entrepreneurs plateau at $1M, $3M, or $5M because they haven't found the process to elevating their employees. If you want to scale to $10M+, you have to replace yourself with leaders who add value into your business.

Inside this episode, we discuss:

  • Defining the Leader: Why the best leaders are often the best followers first.
  • The "Kathleen" Test: A simple question to determine if someone belongs in your organization.
  • Overcoming Founder Insecurity: Why your ego is the biggest constraint to your company’s growth.
  • Creating Ownership: How to move someone from a paycheck-driven employee to a mission-driven leader.
  • The 90/10 Rule: How to empower your team to solve problems before they ever hit your desk.

The Premium Mindset
How to Start 2026 to GROW Your Business

Welcome back to The Premium Mindset! In this week’s episode, business owners Evan and Cameron dissect the crucial but often overlooked principle of preparing for the next year in business. Learn the process behind the necessity of having A-Players and strict procedures when building your Q1 strategy.


Using real-world examples from their fast-growing companies, Green Mango Pest Control and Coconut Cleaning, they reveal why a quick "Band-Aid" fix can destroy long-term brand integrity and how a lack of standardized processes, from bonus structures to cross functional departments can damage business success.


Key Takeaways You Will Learn:

  • Overcoming Fatigue: How new, high-energy team members can naturally regulate the "thermostat" in the room, making Q4 a sprint, not a slowdown.


  • Key Man Risk: The conversation that pushed Evan to find the right people and build a truly resilient, scalable business.


  • Incentive Alignment: Why departmental bonuses lead to internal problems, and how linking all bonuses to company success is the only way to build a high-performance culture.


  • The RAS Principle: How being intentional about your goals—and talking about them—unlocks opportunities to find the talent you need.


  • Whether you are a small business owner, an experienced CEO, or a manager looking to improve operational efficiency and quarter over quarter success, this episode provides the premium mindset you need to build a scalable and successful business.
