That’s the philosophy of Joshua Green from BFY Life & Forever Young Publishing.  When you chase business down to the bottom all you get are bottom feeders.  And bottom feeders are not your customer.  They belong to the price they can get. They will ALWAYS look for a lower price.  Whether they get it from you or a competitor, they will go to where the price is.   Josh’s mindset is those customers can stay right where they are, he’s not going to chase them.  There’s no need to de-value yourself to go after people that do not appreciate your value.  Stay true to you, what you do, and why you do it.  That’s how you keep away from the bottom feeders.

Josh Green cut his teeth working with his father.  At the early age of 6 Josh would be found going to work at the McDonald’s restaurant his father owned.  He spent his time cleaning the place, wiping the windows, and learning the business.  After so many years he bought into the family business and began working with his dad on a number of properties.  When they sold the locations, Josh got into building bars.  Once he was done with the experience of running bar locations he went after something that excited him . . .Nutrition.

Josh had no interest in doing something he wasn’t interested in.  He definitely did not look to be a slimy snake oil salesman.  He found something he can believe in.  He was already in the world of working out and eating right for fitness.  After a chance encounter with the man that would be his partner, he dove into plant-based protein and supplements.  with an excitement and passion to get things done, he did just that . . .he got things done.  From there it just took off.  Josh is a man of action.  He likes to step in a make things happen.  Do Something.  He’ll be the first to tell you that it will never be perfect.  There will always be some reason, some interference that will get in the way.  So, throw those excuses in the trash and do it.

That is exactly how he got himself into a second business, Forever Young Publishing.  Josh saw a void in the supply chain for getting promotional apparel for his nutrition company.  So he decided he could do it for less money, better quality and have the items needed on time - -being on time is a big thing for Josh and how he takes care of his clients.  Now that Josh has an apparel company making items for BFY Life other people started noticing the work he was doing and asked him to get them the promotional items they needed.  To the tune that Josh likes to play, he just got it done.

Josh Green does not sacrifice his value, quality, or opportunity chasing anyone to the bottom.  He is perfectly fine with being good at what he does, treating customers like they ought to be treated, and building an empire.

Check out the great conversation we had in the full interview here:

Misc. Goods Co builds products with practical purpose — keepsakes which are set apart. Manufactured in America, our goods are timeless in form and use, both for home and abroad.
My company was born out of difficult time. I wasn’t planning or even dreaming of running a product company. Misc. Goods wasn't sparked from a conversation among friends. It emerged from a dry-spell as a free-lance designer and took shape as I allowed my work to bend and shift; changing as opportunity came and working hard when it did. This opportunity for me came in the form of a monstrously successful Kickstarter campaign for a re-designed deck of playing cards. It changed my life and handed me a new set of responsibilities – to create useful, good products – to serve our customers and to remain ethical in all manufacturing. To push forward – ever-content, but never comfortable, to make Misc. Goods Co. a business I can be proud of.
For us, to be good is expressed in 3 ways: making exceptional products, work ethically in all areas of production and be radically hospitable with our customers.
His Key to Success: Make sure you enjoy your work, find satisfaction in it.

Shark Jockey helps businesses navigate oceans of marketing questions in order to win the race against competitors and scale up.
The term ‘guru’ was initially used as a compliment. It referred to a mentor, or someone who helped less experienced individuals find their calling by answering questions and providing training or guidance. Unfortunately, in more modern times, businesses began calling marketing personnel ‘gurus’ simply because a better term was not readily available. Over the last decade, the increase in demand for digital media experts pushed many individuals with limited experience to term themselves as gurus even if they had little to no experience teaching, mentoring, or applying marketing tools and techniques.
Similar to marketing gurus, Shark Jockeys understand social media is the single most important NEW digital marketing tool an organization can apply to its efforts. However, as mentioned above, marketing gurus come from all different backgrounds and oftentimes lack the real world, academic, or mentorship know-how needed to help communicate this to businesses in a way that allows them to received improved return on investment (ROI). In this regard, the experts at Shark Jockey stand out because we apply experience learned from 6 critically important areas – as Students, Interns, Employees, Teachers, Entrepreneurs and Mentors.
Thanks to this background, we are able to help businesses from a variety of perspectives. Our team has a history of helping companies recruit, hire, train, motivate, educate, and grow marketing teams at private businesses. Our results speak for themselves, and we are happy to offer examples and references to clients who have earned multi-million dollar success thanks to our programs and digital strategies.
Every modern business needs a Shark Jockey for 1 very important reason. Shark Jockeys help business navigate oceans of marketing questions in order to win the race toward achieving digital goals. In short, shark jockeys pick up where the average ‘guru’ falls short.

His Key to Success: Innovate, so you can catch the wave in front of others.  Don’t be afraid to give away your best stuff – they will need help implementing it.
His Advice for Business Owners: Build your personal brand.
His Book/Podcast Recommendation: Myron Golden podcast, How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
