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.

The Road to One Million

Experience is the wisest teacher of all. In my own personal journey of building Measurable Genius up from nothing to where we are today, I’ve learned a whole lot of very practical lessons that you’re not going to see in other entrepreneurial content.

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 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 […]

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’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, […]

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 […]

COMPANIES ONLY WORK IN CONTEXT

COMPANIES ONLY WORK IN CONTEXT

No matter how big or small your organization is, it’s going to have problems if everyone isn’t on the same page. And with people being people, persistence, patience, and love are necessary ingredients if you want to get anywhere close. As a business owner, you ESPECIALLY need to be patient, even when your employees aren’t. […]
