THE SHERPA GETS NO GLORY

Something I’ve been wrestling with lately is how best to sell what we do here at Measurable Genius. I know that we can work with any client in any business to make it better. But communicating that to other people is a tricky task. People want to see exactly how we’re going to live up […]

THE GOLDEN SCAFFOLDING AWARD

There’s a little kernel of truth hidden in every conversation. I relish my morning mastermind sessions because it gives me the chance to look beyond the surface of what’s being said and get into the real issues. For example, Geordie said he didn’t like the word “sharing”. And with a little coaching from me, we […]

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE KETCHUP

Accountability is a word that makes people cringe. Sure, it’s great to think up ideas and strategies and all, but when it comes time to actually implement them, there’s a lot of shifty eyes and sideways glances.

You owe it to yourself to stay focused on what is important. Let neither praise not reprimand distract you from your […]

Needs and Belief

I want to help you be in command of your business. In order to do that, you need to be more disciplined in your commitment to long-term plans. You’re probably never going to win any form of life lottery, but you’re guaranteed to be successful if you focus on incrementally achieving your highest priorities each […]

Am I Overthinking This?

One of my greatest gifts is my ability to solve problems. My ability to serve my customers, my clients, and my friends comes from my ability to understand things in a way many other people can’t. Of course, that has a flip side, too. Every trait exists in synchronicity with its opposite. My analytical ability […]
