Guilty Consciences

Guilty Consciences

You guys all know how much I respect the teachings of my mentor Dr John Demartini​. Well, I got a great opportunity today to chat with Warren​ who asked me about the nature of guilt. Spoiler alert: Do the work to find out the benefits of whatever it is you’re feeling guilty about. It’s there. […]

Hiring is a Favour

Hiring is a Favour

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.

Get a Daily Success Metric

Everyone (me included) wants to be able to know they did a good job. How do you get there? How can you know for certain, when you lay your head down to sleep at night, that you had a “successful” day? The answer to me is in measurement. You need to find something you can […]

Geniuses Speak Out

One of the great things about having a video blog is the transparency – you guys get to see how I handle all sorts of situations. One of the not-so-great things is that you guys only end up with bite sized pieces of who I am and form opinions about me without having the opportunity […]

Organizing Roles

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. Those roles represent nothing more than a process inventory that an individual employee is accountable and/or responsible for.
