THE GOLDEN SCAFFOLDING AWARD

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 […]

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.

E-COMMERCE AND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

E-COMMERCE AND FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

One of the brand promises we have a Measurable Genius is that we hold space. That’s important in any service industry, but especially when you’re working with entrepreneurs. Building a business is a minefield of stress, and there are many times when I play a role in helping our clients navigate that stress … while […]

LOOSE CHANGE IN THE COUCH CUSHIONS

LOOSE CHANGE IN THE COUCH CUSHIONS

I’ve got so many ideas that sometimes it’s hard to tell everyone about it in a way they understand what I’m trying to get across. Being able to properly delegate, which is an essential skill for a business owner, depends on proper communication. I’ve found it useful, as a strategy, to be able to stop […]

ALEXANDER FORD, OUR PATRIARCH

ALEXANDER FORD, OUR PATRIARCH

As a business leader, you have the tendency to collect accountabilities. If it’s unclear who’s in charge of anything, it defaults to you as the leader. Over time, as your business grows and scales, that’s a lot of little accountabilities for one person to have. Often, it becomes impossible for one person to keep all […]

THERE ARE ALWAYS ROCKS

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 […]

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, GARY

THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, GARY

Empathy means to care enough about someone else to understand and possibly even help them solve their problems. In a service-based industry, there are no shortcuts – in order to keep our clients coming back again and again, we are OBSESSED with asking the question “how can we help solve our clients’ biggest problems and […]

There’s no big secret to making money. It just requires a few simple things: a product that people want to buy, the work ethic to create a business to give it to them, and your ability to direct resources and materials towards the fulfillment of that objective.
