Do Nothing & Take Control of Your Business and Life
My guest today is Rob Dube. Rob has been a successful businessman since high school. He and his business partner have been running their businesses together ever since. Now Rob is the president and co-founder of imageOne. imageOne is a print managed business that began as a toner cartridge refurbishing company. It has since become one of the top companies in the Top 25 Small Businesses in America on the 2017 list of Forbes Small Giants. Rob has developed a strong relationship with his employees and himself through the practice of meditation. Unlike most of my guests, Rob sold his business in 2004 and bought it back in 2006.
During today’s episode, we discuss why Rob bought back imageOne and how he runs it better now. We also discuss Rob’s new book, Donothing, and his journey to discovering the benefits of meditation. Rob has developed a constructive relationship with numerous business leaders, including author Bo Burlingham. Bo is a wise business writer who has helped many business owners build better companies. Rob shares how Bo’s work has helped him restructure his business and personal life. Rob has figured out how to fortify his business and business culture, if anything can be taken away from this episode, it’s business is a constant learning experience.

Why is this, exactly? Focus. Being able to clear your mind and be present in the moment helps you gain focus and perspective to better tackle the things that matter in life.
The Value of Nothing
Rob Dubé is no stranger to building and exiting a company. In fact, he has built and exited the same company he currently owns today. Rob re-purchased the successful print managed business he sold after only 18 months of being an employee, rather than entrepreneur. His painful process of reaching that decision was helped along by meditation—by doing nothing.
It hit him one afternoon, when his family was out enjoying the nice weather and he was sitting inside, bordering on tears, from his anxiety over the stress of the office. Sound familiar? Even if you’re telling yourself you’re not that stressed out, that your business is fantastic and smooth-operating and you wouldn’t change a thing… chances are, you could benefit from taking a breather.
