Future Accounting

Future Accounting

Your goals in life won’t come true unless you’re accountable to them in advance. See … that future you say you want? You’re disowning it. It’s a trick. Just by your nature of wanting it, you’re acknowledging that you don’t have ownership of it. You haven’t found evidence of it. You don’t see where you […]

I Can Fix Your Computer But I’d Rather Fix Your Brain

I Can Fix Your Computer But I’d Rather Fix Your Brain

There’s a certain obsession people have for fixing other people. It’s something we’re all guilty of. 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. When someone, whether it be an employee or your significant other, complains to you, instead […]

The Theory of Constraints

The Theory of Constraints

Let’s say you’ve got some task, goal, or result that you want in your life. Let’s also say that this is a result that you want to occur with some regularity. For example, let’s take this content right here. It’s part of my grand social media strategy … and it’s necessary for anyone who wants […]

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 […]

Becoming Jordan Peterson

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. Don’t go out into the world and assume ownership of other people’s stuff. When you martyr yourself on these causes you clearly can’t make a difference on, you […]

Clear Desk, Clear Mind

Clear Desk, Clear Mind

Take a second right now. Look at your desk. I bet you’ve got things all over it. Ask yourself this question: which of those things on your desk is the thing you’re working on right now? Can you find it immediately? Is that thing the most important thing you can be doing right now? If […]

THERE ARE ALWAYS ROCKS

THERE ARE ALWAYS ROCKS

You can always do things better. That isn’t to say that nothing is ever good enough, but it is important to be able to look at anything you’ve done or anything you’re doing and identify how it can be done better. One of the ways we do that at Measurable Genius is by identifying rocks. […]

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.

Time to Get Efficient

Time to Get Efficient

There’s a common adage: work smarter, not harder. Well, great advice. What are you supposed to do with that? One of the ways I’ve interpreted that advice is by creating a list that tells me what the exact right thing is to do at any given moment. Or, as Rene cleverly put it this episode, […]

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 […]
