Organizing Roles

Clearly understanding and managing according to accountability and responsibility is critical for the success of your organization. Your organizational chart should represent the roles that are functionally necessary and individuals may be assigned many roles.

Beware the Pipeline

Entrepreneurship is a lot like video game development, especially when you’re a service provider. You have a player base (clients), that you have to make happy with regular content updates (projects). And if they’re not happy with the work you’re doing, they’re very vocal about making sure you hear it. In order to make money […]

No Owners Wanted

Most people hate being accountable. It sucks having to be accountable to something especially if you aren’t totally inspired about it.

Becoming Jordan Peterson

Don’t be a business owner trying to take accountability and ownership of other people’s stuff … their problems; causes; tirades. Put your own room in order first. Don’t go out into the world and assume ownership of other people’s stuff. When you martyr yourself on these causes you clearly can’t make a difference on, you […]
