Do you get thrown off your game when the world doesn’t behave like you think it should? As an entrepreneur, you have a vision for how you want things done in our business, but what happens when a client or team member doesn’t understand or maintain your standards? Let’s take a look at things that can put us off kilter, and learn to course correct while avoiding a meltdown.

Today, we’re going to examine the ways we get triggered when things don’t work according to plan, and how to use that awareness to institute a new, more effective way of responding so you don’t get freaked out when things get out of whack.

I’m sharing a passage from what might be my favorite business book ever. It’s called, “Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business” by restauranteur Danny Meyer, then digging into his management style and giving you my take on his “salt shaker method.” 

You’ll hear 3 hallmarks of effective leadership according to Meyer, and learn how to incorporate the principle of “constant gentle realignment” in your business and life to maintain your vision and integrity … without losing your shit when it gets challenged by others (or even yourself).

I’ll share the inspirational story of a client who, after learning to lean into the cycle of disappointment and realignment, finally achieved his goal of buying the perfect property for his retreat center. Plus, we’ll dig into a tool called the “Sunday Summit.” It’s been a game changer for hundreds of our Uplevel students over the years, and I bet it will help you, too.
