What’s up Savvy friends!

Over the years, I’ve learned that strong values are the backbone of every successful business.

These aren’t just words on a wall—they shape decisions, build company culture, and steer the ship toward growth.

Today, I’m sharing the 9 values that help me build multi-million dollar companies on repeat.

9 Core Values Behind My Multi-Million Dollar Companies

1/ Be Frugal & Financially Savvy

Find affordable solutions and study the P&L closely each month.

2/ Hire People Smarter Than You

Know where you’re best; outsource the rest.

3/ Have an “Experiment” Mindset

Run 30-90 day trials, measure, then stop or keep growing. Repeat.

4/ Practice, Perfect, Process

Learn yourself. Perfect it, then make an SOP. Pass it off to the best person on your team.

5/ Build Long-Term Relationships

Aim to work with hires for 5+ years. Set that expectation upfront and make sure you align.

6/ Don’t Hold Grudges

Your reputation is everything. Built over decades, destroyed in minutes. Remember that.

7/ Own Up to Your Mistakes

Share and apologize right away. Be honest and have integrity in tough spots.

8/ Respect No Matter Who

You’re never above anyone else. Be humble. Listen. Share openly.

9/ Learn Something New Daily

Every door closed is a learning opportunity. Wake up with the goal to learn each day.

Do values matter?

My answer: Hard YES.

Here’s why:

In my 15+ years of building businesses, from growing an eCommerce biz to $25M+ in total sales to scaling TrioSEO to six figures in under 12 months, I’ve seen firsthand how values drive decisions and attract like-minded talent. Your values influence everything.

Stay true to what you believe, and let your values lead the way.

Best,

Connor
