    In Part 1 of this Keynote, I revealed 4 Words to Navigate Change in your Business. In Part 2, I share some real-world examples of them in action:

    1. How Chick-Fil-A pushed through the pandemic by being "start-up scrappy"

    2. How Marriott Hotels gave parents sanity and sanctuary by creating a "Day Pass"

  • 4 Words To Navigate Change In Your Business - Keynote Speech from Master Networks: Connect 2021 - Part 1 - #132

    It was my first LIVE appearance in over a year, and the first in-person event many of us attended. I had the privilege to deliver this keynote speech to Master Networks: Connect 2021 Conference in Dallas, Texas.


    The pandemic taught many of us how to be resilient...but it also pushed businesses to the brink, and many didn't survive.

    The difference between making it through the challenging times or not (and there are more ahead), is how you react. In my talk, I share 4 Words to Navigate Change in Your Business. These 4 words got my businesses through the longest year of our lives and I hope they bring some balance and perspective to you and your business too.

  • A Successful Entrepreneur - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 9 - #128

    If necessity is the mother of all invention, then tenacity is the greatest determining factor of success.


    I have discovered myself to be tenacious, at times to a fault. I have a relentless tenacity that is so visible to everyone. My wife talks about it. My friends talk about it.

    Failure doesn’t exist for me, because it’s not an option for me.


    Besides tenacity, the other quality many entrepreneurs share, in my opinion, is the desire to always do more -- to one-up themselves. For me, everything is a game. Sales numbers, rewrite percentages, jobs completed... The game is always doing better than before. If I am not one-upping myself, the game gets boring for me.

    Key Points from Chapter 9

    • One quality that will serve you well as you start and grow your business? Tenacity. Don’t quit.
    • Get up early each day and devote time to simply thinking and jotting down ideas.
    • Don’t wake up in the sweat of regret later in life by failing to act now.
    • Nothing feels better than helping people achieve their goals. As you grow, keep giving and helping.

    • The Unintentional Pilot - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 8 - #127

      I joked for years that if I ever wrote a book, its title would be The Unintentional Pilot. Well, I guess a chapter will have to do.


      Remember the question I opened Chapter 1 with, you know, the one about flying an airplane?

      I love sharing the story about how I overcame my fear of flying. Flying is much like running a business, it's scary at times, challenging ALWAYS, and the reward of a safe touchdown is not guaranteed. But if you don't take off, if you don't try, you'll never know.

      What are you afraid of? What are you doing to overcome it?

      Key Points from Chapter 8

      • Be honest with yourself about your fears, and be willing to confront them head-on.
      • There’s no such thing as “job security.”
      • There are ways to secure health insurance and put together a workable retirement plan without a regular salaried job. Don’t let your attachment to your benefits stop you from starting a business.
      • Don’t let fear control you.
      • There’s no reason to spend a lot of money when you start your business. Be practical.

      • Mistakes - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 7 - #126

        I beat the crap out of myself when I screw up, many of us do. But mistakes are so valuable to us. I learn through my mistakes, I learn what not to do next time to avoid the pain.


        I've made so many mistakes building my businesses, I could write a book about them. If I do, you'll be the first to know about it.

        Key Points from Chapter 7

        • Don’t disguise your right hooks as jabs.
        • Don’t buy followers or worry about vanity metrics.
        • Figure out the targeting of your website content—are you a B2B or a B2C brand?
        • Have a generous mindset.

        • All About That Jab - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 6 - #125

          Give and you will receive. But what if you just give?


          This chapter is why I am giving this book away for free on the podcast, my blog, etc. Sure, I would love to sell more books on Amazon, and making it available this way for free probably hurts those potential sales. Guess what, I'm ok with that. 

          You see, giving away my best information, sharing with the world without ANY expectations in return is what this chapter is about. Jabbing is how I build a multimillion-dollar business. Does giving stuff away impact my bottom line? YES! Positively.

          Key Points from Chapter 6

          • There’s no such thing as too much jabbing.
          • To create a memorable jab, connect with your audience’s emotions.
          • Leverage the power of barter to jab more effectively.
          • Partner with other businesses on events and cross-promotion to increase the organic reach of your brand.
          • Make your jabs personal and creative to impress your valuable customers.
          • The future of marketing is jabbing.

          • Setbacks - Jab Till It Hurts: Chapter 5 - #124

            It ain't all roses, sunshine, and unicorns. Building a business is rewarding, but plans don't always work out, at times you're going to have setbacks, trust me, I've had and have them regularly.


            In this chapter, I dive into the challenges and setbacks of entrepreneurship, including how trolls can negatively impact your business. I also talk about the thing no one ever talks about, the loneliness of the journey, and what to do about it.
