In this solo episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey talks about the difference between staying busy and actually building a business.

He shares his experience of doing things randomly, struggling with consistency, and learning why being strategic matters more than talent or effort alone.

This episode focuses on perspective, clarity, and lessons learned through real experience. It is intended for listeners interested in leadership, growth, and understanding how mindset influences decisions.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey talks about creating steps for your business and explains why it stood out to him.

During the episode, Terryl shares how he used to wing it, and how his mindset changed once he understood that “when you create steps for your business, you are creating systems for your business.”

He gives examples from cutting hair, Starbucks, working at a movie theater, real estate, and how he started using “kindling” to remove the back-and-forth of scheduling and “remove the friction.”

Terryl explains three key things he keeps coming back to: blueprint, steps to follow, and checklist. He also talks about testing your steps by experiencing your product as the customer, and why “feedback is what feeds the business.”

He connects this to improving how he communicates, learning from mentors, and building a business that runs smoother instead of feeling like a hobby.

This episode is for listeners who want their business to feel more organized, more repeatable, and less overwhelming by following the steps consistently.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey talks about the importance of focusing on your customers and explains why it stood out to him.

During the episode, Terryl shares that his biggest challenge was identifying his customer, who he wants to serve, and how he can serve them.

He explains that not everybody cannot be his customer, and he learned that when he started to speak to everybody, yet not everyone didn’t have the problem they were trying to solve, nor did they have the money to pay for it.

Terryl explains that when you focus on your customers, you identify their needs and you start paying attention to their experience and their journey.

He describes how he started to reflect on what’s working and what’s not working in his own business, and he shares examples like sending too many reminders, lack of follow up, and taking too long to reply. He talks about how reminders can be helpful, but too many reminders can make people overwhelmed.

Terryl also shares examples of focusing on customer experience, including feedback systems, testing your own buying process, and the idea that you have to experience what it’s like to be your own customer so you can fix the error and fix the minor details.

He explains that when you instantly work on small details, you can adjust based on what you find, and that small details matter.

Terryl says the customer has to be the focus because with no customers, you don’t have a business, regardless of the industry that you’re in.

He also explains that being different matters, and that the ones who focus on their customers are the ones who make a difference because it’s intentional.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey talks about why business is challenging and why it matters.

During this episode, Terryl shares how he thought he had clarity, knew what he was doing, and knew what he was selling but when he went out and pitched it, it started to get challenging and overwhelming, and nobody was buying what he was offering.

Terryl explains that it wasn’t what he was offering it was that he wasn’t offering the thing that people needed or the problem that people were going through.

Terryl talks about how business is challenging because you have to locate the clues, identify the problem, look at the results, and understand your customer.

He shares that in business, you have to adapt to your customers, make changes to your plan, and be okay with what’s not working so you can do more of what’s working.
