EVERYONE IS SICK

EVERYONE IS SICK

You don’t get paid unless you add value to the market. At Measurable Genius, one of the many ways we’ve chosen to do that is by producing video for our clients as well as ourselves. By putting a real person in front of a video camera and seeing what comes out, you get that vital […]

The Gift of Action Items

Merry Christmas, everyone. Time off is nice, isn’t it? Well no, not really, because it just means you’re procrastinating on what you need to be doing to move your life forward by spending the time on short-term immediate gratification. Here’s my suggestion: give yourself the best gift of all: a system that you can develop […]

Monkey See Monkey Do

If you’re reading this, I’m willing to bet you have an excess of monkeys on your back. Let me back up for a moment. As a business owner, entrepreneur, leader, and so on, you’re ultimately a manager of people. And the most effective way for a manager to operate is by delegation. I’ve said this […]

I Made My Videographer Cry

I Made My Videographer Cry

I had a great discussion with Christine this morning during our project meeting on the idea of delivering feedback. Am I too blunt? Could I phrase my dissatisfaction differently? Yes. 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 […]

Quarterly Planning Deep Cuts

Quarterly Planning Deep Cuts

In late November of 2017, Measurable Genius ran a 90-day Business Planning Workshop at SAIT. It was a tremendous success, a lot of fun, and I got to create a lot of value for my friends, clients, and everyone who attended. You may remember my Facebook livestream about the difference between accountability and responsibility. In […]

Punctuated Progress

Punctuated Progress

I really believe in the power of incremental progress. It’s one of my company values. It’s the name of my weekly show (Wednesdays at 11:45 am Mountain Time on Facebook). It’s how we find evidence that we’re fulfilling our dreams. However, there are times a whole bunch of incremental progress in different areas will come […]

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, […]

Perfectionism is Obstructionism

If you want to have a better business, you need to become a better business owner. Seems obvious, right? But here’s the part that many business owners don’t realize – that philosophy also holds true for every member of their organization. Think about it: would you get more momentum from everyone in your business becoming […]

Wrestling With Context

Wrestling With Context

It can be pretty surprising what you can learn from your employees if you just take the time to listen. I’ve been encouraged to do just that by following the Rockefeller Habits, which recommends managers take the time to hold Start/Stop/Keep meetings with one employee per week. Five minutes is all it takes, and the […]

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 […]
