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. […]

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 […]

The Polymath

Every system in a business is a pipe. You’ve got your sales pipe, your marketing pipe, your operations pipe, and so on. Each pipe is responsible for taking the effort of the people who do the work in that system and turning it into a result (the result depends on the pipe, naturally). Let’s say […]

Kill the Constraints

What’s stopping you from having what you say you want to have? Here’s the thing about the universe: it doesn’t reward hard work for its own sake.

Planning is Inconvenient

Business owners work longer and harder than anyone else on the planet. They are excellent at getting things rolling and persevering through challenges that would case others to give up. But this relentless drive comes with its own drawbacks. Entrepreneurs accumulate debt (which includes, but is not limited to, financial debt) at a significant rate […]

New Year’s Resolutions are for Losers

When was the last New Year’s resolution you made that came true? Last year? The year before that? Five years? Never? This time of year annoys me because I know how to set goals that come true. And New Year’s resolutions encourage people who don’t really know how to set goals that come true to […]

How To Do a “Lap” of Your Business

It is impossible to know the priorities of your business unless you know every task in that business. Each and every business owner needs to have some kind of system in which they keep track of everything that goes on in their business. This is necessary because, when you go to figure out what’s important […]
