COMPLETING MY CUSS QUOTA

I know, like any business owner knows, that when I’m at work there are hundreds of thousands of things that I COULD be doing. But the difference between me and those other business owners is that I know what I SHOULD be doing. And the reason that I know is because of our plan, and […]

Actually Doing the Work is Easy

How’s your relationship with your subconscious? Just take a moment to check in. Are you here on YouTube because you’re avoiding doing something? If you are, that’s okay. I’m not going to judge you for it. But if that last paragraph made you feel slightly guilty, here’s a tip: you’re probably hesitant to do that […]

You’re Stumbling in the Dark

Are you more or less likely to do something when you know the reason behind it? More likely, right? And your team is the same. At Measurable Genius, our top company value is that we start with why. Why is that? Because I want to know why I’m doing anything in my business. If I […]

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. […]

Have you ever noticed that, when you’ve got some unallocated time in your schedule, it tends to get used up dealing with short-term, emotion-based, unrewarding activities? Maybe it’s a client who […]

I Want To Be A Movie Star

Part of our latest quarterly plan for Measurable Genius is to build ourselves a funnel. We’ve done this a few times for our clients, and now it’s time to make one ourselves. Easier said than done, though. What would go into our own funnel? I, for one, want a cool movie. Today I talked about […]

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 […]

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 […]
