If you’re like us, you probably have a team meeting on your calendar in the next couple of weeks to set the business plan for the new year. In this episode, we share what you need to do to prepare for that meeting so you can be a decisive, visionary leader.
We give you tactics for getting your mindset right, revisiting your goals, and recasting your vision. Many people know that business planning meetings are important, but few understand the steps that leaders need to take ahead of time to maximize them.
So, put a new appointment on your calendar before the team meeting. Then, work through the steps we outline in this episode. This intentional time to prepare for the business plan meeting will help you create more joy and sustainability for yourself and your team.

Do you feel like you are hitting a wall with potential clients? In today’s episode, we talk about a tool you can use to get people to open up and deeply engage with you. Today, we teach you the secret magic of open-ended questions.
Open-ended questions help you uncover the other person’s motivation, discover their priorities, and build rapport with them. When you pair open-ended questions with reflective listening and follow-up questions, you can learn their most powerful motivator—their “why.” Knowing a person’s “why” is the key to making a sale.
In this episode, we give you multiple open-ended questions you can fall back on in any conversation with a lead. With a little practice, you will master open-ended questions and start reaping the rewards.

A lot of leaders are too afraid to talk about it. Still, the fact is, we all have thought about quitting at some point or another, especially with all the recent lawsuits, high interest rates, and skyrocketing inventory. Here at Empire Building, we’re not afraid to take on uncomfortable topics. Today’s episode is all about quitting.
First, we look at why people quit: lack of progress, burnout, misalignment with goals, persistent obstacles, and lack of joy or fulfillment. Then, we talk about how to respond to these feelings, including rewriting your job description or making a big pivot.
Most importantly, we talk about quitting the right way if that’s what you decide is best. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you want guidance on how to exit your business without losing all your revenue.

Success leaves clues. Failure leaves clues, too. In this episode, we discuss recent personal wins and losses and what we have learned from them.
We analyze the departure of a recent hire and what clues that situation gives us about how to improve our leadership, hiring, and managing skills. We also talk about getting off track with personal health and how it can bring our attention back to what really matters.
We also celebrate our wins. Seychelle was able to run her company remotely for the summer, and Sarah was able to pull her company out of stagnation. These wins left us clues about the power of giving your team autonomy and, of course, the wisdom found in “Good to Great.”
It’s hard to be this vulnerable and transparent on a podcast, but that’s what we’re all about here at Empire Building. That’s what it takes to build a big business and a bigger life!

Amanda Han is on a mission to make taxes sexy… or at least somewhat understandable. Amanda Han is a CPA, real estate investor, author, and social media influencer. She joins us on the show today to share her empire-building journey and give us nuggets of wisdom about tax planning.
As a child, Amanda Han ran around with her cousins, collecting rents on behalf of their non-English-speaking grandparents. After years of working for a big accounting firm, she decided to get back to her roots. Today, she runs an accounting business for individual real estate investors, helping them build generational wealth.
Amanda is equal parts funny, thoughtful, and genius. She gives us tips on S corps, tax deductions, and accelerated deductions. In the next breath, she tells us how she binges on social media once her kids go to sleep.
