Coming to you with another 'How Was Your Week?' episode with so much crammed in that we split it in half to create two glorious episodes.  This week we learn tactics of success from the kids: Nicole Licata Grant and Erin Hatzikostas reflect on Erin's son's attitude towards success and failure (Believe. Achieve. Repeat.), and then we apply it to our own working lives and experiences.  We then take a sidetrack and briefly delve into marriages past and present, with a quick word of warning and advice to the ladies out there that may be contemplating marriage (hint: if they say 'Don't be an asshole' just before they propose...RUN!! What's that sound? It's another VP take over while the boss is away. Nicole brings up the idea of VP Cointainment Zones at her work (you remember her Italian Mafia stage right?), which allows Erin to coach her, and you, on how to look at "Containers" with a new lens...and how to maximize your results if you can set aside your frustration and instead slow down and get them on the bus with a cocktail of 'What's in it for them'.

Versus Mick, he's 8, he's got a turtle brain. He just forgets a failure and starts again." "Sometimes the "believe. Achieve. Repeat." is small. it's knowing you're not going to grab the cheese from the refrigerator."  "I told you before he is either going to be a mega-millionaire salesman/entrepreneur or is going to start a cult." "That's a killer in a relationship...the transaction." "The fact that you took that risk, made that shift, and believed there was something better on the other side, it's pretty inspirational." "So, everyone, if you're with someone who's an asshole before you get married and have kids, they're probably going to be worse afterward." "You're at the end of this big project, and anyone could have supported or collaborated with you at the beginning, then at the end they come in and just want to create a barrier to your success because they want to contain the mid-level management group." "It's fear. There's a lot of fear at the top, because you're responsible for a lot of things, and you need to determine when to put on the fear radar, to detect what can negatively impact your product." "People don't necessarily want you at the table, but they want to take that information and power for themselves." "A lot of people call it 'politics'. It's actually just how business gets done."
