Leaders and entrepreneurs are so talented at giving advice...even when it's not asked for. Yet, when it comes to taking advice, well...there is ample room for improvement. This is because the same innovative spirit that makes us want to create and implement new ideas, can sometimes get in the way of us getting advice from others. Unfortunately, this is really holding many of us back. The good news…
Many people believe that faith and religion have no place in the workplace. The truth is everyone brings their faith into the workplace. Some bring their faith in themselves and their unique abilities and strength of character. Others bring their faith in the immutable laws of business. Then there are others who bring their faith in God into the business they own. In this episode…we're going to…
As leaders of organizations there are so many things we seem to be in short supply of and it can be a daily struggle for us to try to acquire them. Cash, reliable people, and predictable outcomes. We're in a world of constant flux, with everything in change. We're told we're in charge, and we're given a wheel in our hands, only to wonder if the wheel is actually attached to anything. This can…
No one gets into business wanting to lose. Everyone wants to win. You want to win, because that means you can actually stay in business. You can keep your doors open. You need to be profitable to win. This isn't earth shattering news. Most people understand you need to be profitable in business. Yet, being successful at business requires margins in profit...and so much more. What it comes down to…

Many times you don't learn this, until it's decision time...and you see all of the heads turning...and looking towards you and saying, "Well?" In many cases, your teams, and those who are following you aren't even requiring the perfect decision. They just need you to…
As an entrepreneur, there are always obstacles in the road, things holding us back, making us swerve and risk heading off into a ditch. Much about being competitive in today's business is having the ability to steer away, to avoid running into those boulders that seem to fall into the middle of our paths. However...that's assuming that we're actually moving forward. That we're on the road. The…
There are few things more exhilarating and frightening than building a business from scratch. Starting a business, keeping your doors open, battling the storms, and defending yourself constantly from your own delusion...is not easy. In fact, it will probably be the most difficult thing you've ever done in your life. And, often it will seem like it's taken you four lifetimes to get to where you…
If you examine the backstory of any successful leader, you'll discover they have their own list of "Most Valuable People" of sorts, and that's influencers in their lives who were always in their corner, who cared about them, and invested in their future. We call those people mentors. They often are in the background, and unknown to many, but they are essential to the development and success of…
One of the greatest traits a leader can have is their ability...just like a prize fighter...to take a hit. Because if you're going to take a leadership role, you're getting into the ring...and your opponents aren't going to be taking it easy on you. When it comes to launching or managing an organization, there is no sugarcoating this...it won't be simple. In fact, it will probably be the hardest…
As leaders and entrepreneurs...we are all about growth. In fact, some would say we are obsessed with growing. We like to captain our ways to new revenue records and to reach new levels of profitability. That's natural for entrepreneurs, and in some ways it's the drive that is needed to actually keep us in business. Yet, there are those times when you look out at sea and in the future you see…
