Bold Business Podcast

Embrace repetition. It changes more than your own perspective (clarity!) with understanding. Your business goals have a higher chance of completion with higher quality outcomes when everyone is moving in the same direction.

Measurement and results directly relate to how well you, and your team, understand the goal. Intentional and inevitably repetitive communication is a reminder of the direction everyone is going — together. Listening, working through obstacles, and recommitting to the goal on a regular cadence is a disciplined framework to get more work done and reach more success.

In this program, you will hear:

• How to remove problems by listening well and then intentionally communicating

• The four key questions to guide performance

• How repetition is part of successfully being accountable to your biggest goals

Jess Dewell talks with Jeff Eschliman, CEO and Executive Coach, about how discipline drives CEO success.

While discipline is crucial, the unwavering consistency propels you towards your goals. Prioritizing the right work becomes a cornerstone — building, learning, growing, and managing energy converges in how your plan becomes a reality with the time, energy, and money you have to invest. How you align expectations with the reality of your situation is key.

Growth doesn't have to be complex — and yet, at times, it will be difficult. Your ability to comprehend the way work is done within your organization and the value being provided requires a commitment to deeply understand how you will grow so that it can be communicated. Then will it be possible to discern the right work, communicate what work will be done, and know that choices will be made to reduce the chance of work overload — choices that are supported by processes, automation, and actual results.

In this program, you will hear that commitment, discernment, and consistency are constant in pursuing sustainable, profitable growth. You will also hear real-life examples of determining urgent versus important and practices to help you build confidence in making decisions.

At the core of our ability to lead ourselves effectively is a set of values that drives our decision-making. By understanding and embracing these values, we can make intentional choices that align with our personal and professional goals. This includes having the courage to say no when necessary and saying yes to opportunities that align with our values and aspirations.

Even when faced with tasks we may find difficult or unpleasant, we can push through and stay focused on our objectives because we know ourselves and what we stand for. Ultimately, self-leadership is about taking ownership of our lives and being accountable for our actions, and this all begins with having a clear sense of our values and how they guide us.

A workplace's culture is shaped by how work is done and how it connects different functions and individuals. When things don't go as planned, diving deeper and identifying what causes the undesirable outcomes is essential. The information you uncover can then be used to bring about positive change, which involves recognizing and unlearning certain assumptions.

One can start by observing what is happening and making necessary decisions to shift the workplace culture. Each role in the company contributes to a larger mission, so it's important to take the time to understand how they all fit together. In this episode of the BOLD Business Podcast, you'll learn about the significance of trusting institutional knowledge and taking the time to make informed decisions.

Developing mental flexibility is crucial for cultivating resilience in both personal and professional realms. One of the ways to build mental flexibility is by being fully present in the moment and avoiding distractions that may hinder our ability to adapt to change.

Taking a pause when faced with a challenging situation can also help us gain perspective and make better decisions. Following through with our commitments, even when faced with obstacles, can help us develop the resilience needed to overcome adversity and build mental strength.

By implementing these practices in our daily lives, we can train our minds to be more agile and adaptable, ultimately leading to greater success and well-being.

To achieve business growth, it is important to have a sharp focus on your industry, maintain good financial health, and adopt a growth mindset. Foundational decisions based on company values and work ethics play a crucial role in ensuring the longevity of your business.

Mental fog and decision fatigue are silent and dangerous to a business focused on growth. As a vision holder, two things are paramount to success: personal vitality and strategic clarity. Without those, becoming complacent and going through the motions is easy. For growth and questioning assumptions, an intentional cadence is needed to check in to stay focused on profitable growth.

In this program, you will learn the three metrics categories to align with how you work when pivoting from or reframing a situation. That clarity comes from knowing how to correct your forecasting assumptions. Using non-financial drivers, your business growth levers, and financial awareness to be accountable — together, these will increase understanding of how intertwined each part of your business is.

Jess Dewell talks with Guillermo Rodriguez, Virtual CFO at Anders CPA, about the importance of an outside set of eyes that works in partnership with you to grow profitably.
