GET EFFICIENT OR GET LOST

GET EFFICIENT OR GET LOST

You guys may have noticed that I hate wasting time. That’s why when I come to a meeting I want to know exactly what we’re doing and what we’re going to be discussing. A meeting without an agenda is like lighting a whole pile of money on fire … and I’m no Joker. On today’s […]

HELP!

HELP!

One of the most difficult parts of running a business is asking for help. Whether that be from your team, or from an outside coach or mentor, admitting you can’t do it all yourself can be a real ego test. But if you’re really dedicated to growing your business, to taking it above and beyond, […]

A daily stand-up should be around 15 minutes, and consist of three areas: Priorities (What are the top three things you’re doing today?) Company KPIs (What are the key metrics for the company?

However, by trying to fix other people, by trying to manage them instead of embracing them, you’re not helping as much as you think.

AND what I’m really concerned with is getting the to the truth of the matter as efficiently as possible. Today’s episode has a bit of […]

Intentional vs Non-Intentional

If you want to fully embrace being in command of your life, you must be in command of your intentions. There are lots of people out there satisfied with merely “going with the flow” and giving their power away to others (or God).

Internal Daze Part 2

Internal Daze Part 2

I love talking to my clients. If you need proof of that, just looks at my KPIs. One of them is time in the market … which is primarily gained through me going out and talking to my clients. Sometimes, though, I am not the person they should talk to. Yesterday I talked about the […]

Itemize Function

Itemize Function
