Stratification

Stratification

Most visionaries and business owners that I know are chomping at the bit to try and improve their businesses. That’s smart…dissatisfaction drives innovation. However, it can be pretty hard to find the right place to start. How do you decide which of the hundreds of thousands of systems in your business to improve? The answer […]

One Free Radical

One Free Radical

The only bad decision is one made without all the data present. That puts business owners in a pretty tough situation. As their organizations grow in size, they become fantastically complicated. They can become such a dense cluster of processes and systems that they feel opaque. So what happens when they plan? They can’t achieve […]

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 […]

FUCKED IF I DO, FUCKED IF I DON’T

FUCKED IF I DO, FUCKED IF I DON’T

I was a bit stressed this morning. But, rather than mope around, I used it. I’ve said this before, but if I’m upset about something, that means there’s an area of my business that I can improve. I’m not perfect, and I don’t run a perfect business, but that means there’s always things that can […]

ALL HAIL KING JOHN

ALL HAIL KING JOHN

As you guys know, I spent the weekend with my good friend/mentor/coach/great guy Dr. Nima Rahmany. One of the things I took away from the weekend was the power of feeling into your affirmations. Regular viewers know I gave advice similar to this in Daily Genius 65, and I’m going to keep repeating myself because […]

If you love dogs and you love drama, you’ll love this episode. I guess you could say that Daily Genius has gone to the dogs. Please watch the video before I have to think up more dog puns. It’s making me feel boneheaded.
