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 […]

There Is No “I” in Team, but There Is “Me”

Many small business owners become managers out of necessity – well before they’re equipped with the skills and the mindset necessary to really grow and develop a team of A-players. The unfortunate reality is that poor management is a handicap for your business. And while it’s not a skill you’re going to master overnight, there […]

ALL HAIL KING JOHN

As you guys know, I spent the weekend with my good friend/mentor/coach/great guy Dr. Nima Rahmany. One of the things I took away from the weekend was the power of feeling into your affirmations. Regular viewers know I gave advice similar to this in Daily Genius 65, and I’m going to keep repeating myself because […]

Return on Investment

What’s the difference between someone who says they want to make money and makes it, versus someone who says they want to make money but doesn’t make it? You may remember I posed this question to a group of high school students in an episode of Daily Genius. I’m repeating it here because it illustrates […]

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.

One Day, I Won’t Have To

There are tons of business owners out there trapped in the delusion of freedom. They’re not wrong for pursuing the idea, of course.

Stop Letting People Waste Your Time

Stop Letting People Waste Your Time

How much time are you wasting because you can’t say “no?” Chances are, unless you’ve got a hierarchy of pre-vetted business priorities, that number is higher than you think. If you don’t know for certain you’re working on the highest-priority item you possibly can be, you’re not going to tell your team you’ll get back […]

Short Term Pain Mitigation

Short Term Pain Mitigation

Keep your hands off that marshmallow. Here’s a quick explanation if you don’t know what I’m talking about: in the 60s there was an experiment done at Stanford involving delayed gratification. A group of children were each given marshmallows and told that, if they resisted the temptation to eat them immediately, they’d get another. Later […]
