Role Roulette

Happy Halloween, everyone. Take care to watch out for all the ghouls, ghosts, goblins, and other monsters wandering about today!

Like many business owners, I have so […]

The Polymath

The Polymath

Every system in a business is a pipe. You’ve got your sales pipe, your marketing pipe, your operations pipe, and so on. Each pipe is responsible for taking the effort of the people who do the work in that system and turning it into a result (the result depends on the pipe, naturally). Let’s say […]

There Can Only Be One

Skip The Plan

Skip The Plan

Maybe your track record with goal-setting isn’t the greatest. It’s hard. It’s something you have to work at every day. Even if you miss a day, just get up and try again.

Account for Value

Account for Value

You need to know the difference between accountability and responsibility in order to successfully scale up an organization. Some people mash all these words together thinking they mean the same thing. People need clear lines to know how to do their jobs.

Coaching Will Not Build Your Business

If you do not have the values to accomplish a task, you will frustrate, hesitate, and procrastinate (thanks to Dr John Demartini for that). That’s the honest truth. To the degree we take on things that are low in our values, we will find excuses to avoid doing it, not put our attention on it […]
