  • You Can’t Lead if You Don’t Build Trust - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    Leadership is the ability to influence others.
    The ability to influence others hinges on the ability to build trusting relationships with your people. People do not follow those they do not trust, which makes trust the foundational cornerstone of leadership.
    But business leaders who believe they must solve every problem, take control of every project, and make every decision along the way rarely create trust. Instead, their command-and-control approach not only stifles learning and creativity, it kills just about any hope for trust.
    When micromanaging habits take up residence in your leadership style, the first casualty is trust. But, for some reason, a large part of corporate America doesn’t seem to understand the concept. But make no mistake: every relationship develops relative to the amount of trust in that relationship. When trust flourishes, influence (leadership) is sure to follow. Without it, your organization is on a collision course with high turnover, low productivity, shrinking margins, and unfulfilled potential.
    Here are four tactics leaders must develop in their efforts to earn their employees’ trust:
    Invest in the relationship. To encourage employees to buy in and extend trust to you, you must first be willing to invest in them. For employees to trust you, you must first become trustworthy. And, just to be clear, cookie-cutter recognition programs or insignificant workplace perks are a very poor substitute for personal investment.Instead, spend time getting to know your people. Learn their personal objectives. Help in their professional development. To be trusted, you first have to develop a relationship.
    Develop effective communication skills. Poor communication is the primary cause of employee disengagement. More to the point, the clarity that good communication provides is essential to allowing employees to build trust AND perform at their highest levels.However, the job itself doesn’t provide that clarity, the leader does. Imagine how much easier it is for employees when they know exactly what’s expected of them. Imagine how much more effective people can perform when they understand the “why” behind your decisions. Imagine how engaged employees are when they understand your expectations.A lack of clarity, on the other hand, is like running a race in which the runners don’t know the distance, have no idea where the finish line is, and have no idea what their reward will be if they finish well.
    Hold 1-on-1 meetings with your direct reports. Consistent face-to-face meetings with direct reports provide the opportunity to communicate more effectively, align expectations, and dramatically improve engagement and performance. Leaders who invest the time in these meetings make an investment in the relationship, and employees will respond with trust.The best part? This time investment has a positive return! You easily recoup the time you invest in one-on-one meetings by virtually eliminating the need for dozens of time-robbing follow-up meetings, emails, and calls that are usually required to get updates and understand issues.
    Don’t criticize. Learn to coach. There is a significant difference between coaching and criticism. That difference is often not a difference in approach, but a difference in relationship.Leaders who create relationships with employees are rarely perceived as critical, even when delivering tough, direct feedback. Effective leaders understand that they can be demanding and empathetic at the same time once they’ve laid the groundwork to be perceived as genuine, helpful, and truly invested in the employee’s development.

  • Acclaimed Singer Songwriter Meghan Cary: Inspiring Others To “Sing Louder” - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    Meghan Cary a critically-acclaimed folk artist, who has earned Billboard Magazine’s esteemed Critic’s Choice Award joins the eMusician Podcast Show. Her latest album SING LOUDER is her most triumphant work yet. Its title track debuted at #2 on the US / International Folk DJ Radio Chart.
    Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Meghan Cary discuss the following:
    * You’ve had quite a career thus far, earning Billboard Magazine’s “Critic’s Choice Award” for your debut album and releasing four successful albums before your latest CD. Can you take us back to the beginning and tell us how you got your start in music?
    * Tell us a little bit about your journey since your first album. How have you changed? How has the music industry changed since you started out?
    * You recently released your fifth album SING LOUDER, whose title track debuted at #2 on the US / International Folk DJ Radio Charts and “Responsibility” and the album entered the charts at #6 – what do you attribute this success to?
    * SING LOUDER has an overarching message of community and coming together, why is this so important to you?
    * You are an independent artist, meaning you don’t have the support of a label, so can you explain to our listeners what that means for you in terms of the “behind the scenes” work you put in to your projects?
    * Do you have advice for other artists out there who are creating music and hope to achieve your level of success?
    * What is the one thing you want fans to take away from your music?
    * What’s next for you?
    Meghan Cary didn’t mean to be a musician. But when her fiancé unexpectedly died, she picked up his guitar, figured out how to play it, and wrote her debut, earning her Billboard Magazine’s Critic’s Choice for Best Newcomer. “I wrote my grief into music and sang my way out of the abyss.” Cary continues to share the healing power of music with the community that has rallied around her message of hope and being heard.
    Known for her raw honesty and ability to connect with and engage her audience, Cary brings people to their feet and at times to tears with high-energy tunes, masterful storytelling, and lyrics that resonate universally. Cary’s song “Sing Louder”, a call to raise our voices together to make a difference, has become an anthem for the music-loving community.
    In fact, “Sing Louder” resonated so well with audiences in her live shows, that Cary was inspired to include some of these fans on her new record of the same name. Cary gathered 48 music lovers in the studio to raise their voices with her on two tracks, “Sing Louder”, and “Responsibility”. Many of them stepped far out of their comfort zones to don headphones and sing into a microphone. They sang with passion, joy and abandon, and it was a profound experience for Cary and all those involved. That energy was captured on Sing Louder.
    “Music is the most potent tool I know to break down walls, slip through barricades, and connect with each other. And when we authentically connect, we can change the world,” said Cary. “Now more than ever we need to be courageous enough to transcend emotional, intellectual, and political barriers, and raise our voices…together.”
    Cary began her career on stage as a theatre actress with over 100 credits for her work in the U.S. and Europe, and a successful on-camera and voiceover career. She’s written a one-person show with music, “On the Way to the Waterfall”, which she continues to perform around the country. She is also currently composing music and lyrics for the Broadway-bound musical, “The Accidental Caterer”.
    After pushing pause on performing to raise two children,...

  • 5 Things to put in your office to be more creative - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
    To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be as creative as possible. You should always come up with new ideas that can be transformed into business opportunities. Your creativity should stem from your office. The manner in which the office is arranged, the kind of furniture and the general décor of your office should inspire creativity in you!
    Here are some of the things that entrepreneurs can put into their offices for them to be creative:
    Dry Erase Wall Space for Creative Entrepreneurs
    The Dry Erase Wall Space is a kind of a whiteboard that is created through special paint that turns any wall into a whiteboard. When you have this painted wall in your office, you will find it easy to hold meetings, seminars and other gatherings that would require the use of a whiteboard. With the dry erase coating that  is used to transform your walls into  whiteboards, an entrepreneur will save money  that  would otherwise have been used to buy the whiteboards. Your visitors will definitely marvel at your creativity and definitely want to try the idea in their own offices.
    Inclusion of flexible spaces
    There are many ways you can have flexible spaces for your employees. You can do away with the fixed desks for every employee and replace these with large tables for your employees to share. You see, most of the employees work on their laptops and this does not require fixed desks anymore. You could also have couches, smaller desks or standing desks for your employees. With this kind of a formation, you are sure your employees will love the creativity and they should be more productive.
    Touches of inspiration
    What are some of the items that could inspire you and your employees? What are some of the inspiring arts and crafts that can be placed in offices to make them more stress-free and relaxing? Well, you can add some art pieces, photos, and paintings that make the office look creative. These kinds of items are known to help employees come up with creative ways of thinking. An inspiring piece of writing or a poster is also good for the encouraging messages that they carry. They can also help enhance the culture of the company.
    Eliminate mess and clutter in the office
    Do not fill your office with too many items in the hope of getting inspired. A cluttered office would only look messy and is not a good environment for creativity. Your workers need space to work in. All the elements that you bring into your office shouldn’t eat into your office space and make it an eyesore. Let your office look and feel tidy so that it can inspire your creative mind.
    A playroom for employees
    A playroom is a creative way to ensure that your employees, as well as yourself, have time to play and have fun. All work and no play is not good for your productivity. You need to take your mind off work for a while; and this can perfectly be accomplished through the inclusion of a playroom in your office. Many creative ideas could come out of the game sessions with your team members.

  • 4 Ways that automated trading software can help you make good investments - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

    Technology has made drastic advancements in may areas of the world. One of the areas that helps the economy is that of the birth of the trading platform. Who would have thought a decade ago that we would be able to set up a system to trade for us on our behalf. No more having to call up your stock broker to make an investment or a trade as you can now do it from your phone or online. This article will highlight some ways that automated trading software can help you make good investments.

    • Limits the investor’s emotional investment. One of the best features to using the AlgoTerminal automated trading software is that it can do a great deal for you as far as managing your emotions goes. This may sound bizarre, but investing can take a great deal of emotional strength out of a person. One of the best ways to make your trading consistent is to use an automated trading software that takes the decision making and emotions out of the process altogether. This platform will be able to act on your behalf without your involvement in the smallest of tasks. You set up your plan on the platform and it will survey the market and act on your behalf when it finds something promising that fits your goals.
    • Helps with discipline. Trading responsibly takes a great deal of discipline and persistence, which can be quite a difficult task. When investing, it is hard to remain disciplined and consistent because of the emotional involvement that comes with trading. When you use an automated platform, you can stick to your goals and remain disciplined even when you don’t want to be. Using an online platform forces you to create a plan and stick to it.
    • Diversify trading. Did you know that by using a trading platform, you will have the ability to trade using more than one account. In addition, you can apply various strategies to your trading plan. The computer will then scan all available training opportunities, create orders, and keep track of trades.
    • Place your order faster. It is no secret that a market can move within a blink of an eye. Using a platform can assist with the quick paced marketplace and keep you and your trades up to date with the latest information.When a human processes a trade, it can take a good deal of time which can create major disappointment when the market changes before the broker was able to enter all of the data. By using a computer who can react the moment a change has been made, you will be able to benefit more readily.

      • Investing in your future is a smart goal to have and one that more people should take advantage of. Trading isn’t like it used to be as you can now utilize an automated trading software to do the work for you. This keeps your trading diversified, stress and emotion-free, and well disciplined which can work out well for you in the long run.

    • How Education Can Reduce Global Poverty and Hunger - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
      Every 3.6 seconds a person dies of starvation, in most cases it is a child under 5 years old. It is hard to believe that such drastic statistics exists in a world where child obesity is an evolving problem too.
      Although humanity has made some progress in defeating them, the extents of global poverty and hunger are intimidating; these are the problems that require further discussions and taking action. The topics are so acute, that they are often assigned as subjects for numerous college tasks, from simple descriptive essays to complicated course works and dissertations. But how to write a descriptive essay on such a delicate topic?
      To write a good academic paper about global poverty and hunger one should address the complexity and coherence of these problems. Famine is often thought to be a consequence of some serious economical problems, a result of military operations, or something that inevitably comes with natural disasters. However, poverty and hunger should be estimated together with poor education, gender inequality, ineffective healthcare, weak economics and international affairs. These problems are so closely connected, that they constitute a vicious circle, making it almost impossible to determine, which of them are causes, and which are effects. Naturally, educational problems are not commonly seen as connected with hunger. Nevertheless, education is a factor that plays a significant role in defeating (or spreading) hunger and poverty on numerous levels.
      Education is a powerful tool, which helps raising awareness of the problem in developed countries, and contributes to finding solutions in areas, where hunger and malnutrition exist. Even writing a descriptive essay about famine can be a nudge for further investigations of this topic in college, and, eventually, finding possible ways to help.
      Every parent hopes that one’s child will get a decent education. A proper schooling gives every individual a chance for a better future, a bright career and vast opportunities. At the same time, no country has ever experienced a continuous and sustainable economic growth if it has not reached a threshold level of 40% of literate citizens. Consequently, more and more countries try to invest into their education. Financing the educational sphere will inevitably result in positive changes in several other fields.
      The first thing that is likely to improve soon after funding public education is a nation’s overall health condition. Education helps raise awareness of numerous diseases, including AIDS/HIV. Researches show that AIDS spreads twice as slowly among educated women.
      It is a proven fact that women, who have at least six years worth of education, make more conscious choices when it comes to labor and child raising. Educated women choose a healthier pre-birth lifestyle, which results in reducing rates of maternal and infant mortality. Moreover, children, who have educated mothers, are twice as likely to live to the age of five. In addition, mothers, who received basic education, are twice as likely to vaccinate their children, which will prevent them from further dangers of living in poverty.
      Another problem is that in some developing countries, even if a child is born healthy, one is at a risk of suffering from malnutrition. It is therefore quite essential to explain the children’s needs for women and inform them about the ways they can cook healthier balanced meals for their families.
      Providing basic education for an entire population is a huge investment, but it is definitely going to pay off in future as a huge economic booster. The thing is that each year of extra schooling can result in 10% salary growth further in life. Not only that education is preparing valuable workforce, it is also shaping the minds, which might soon …

    • Selecting the Right Medical Malpractice Lawyer For You - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN
      Doctors and healthcare providers are humans too, but that doesn’t mean you should excuse their negligence. Though they’re subject to mistakes, it’s important to receive fair compensation if you’ve been mistreated.
      If you’ve been injured or the subject of irresponsibility, luckily there’s help on hand. Medical malpractice lawyers can represent your legal case and help you receive the money you’re entitled to. Rochester medical malpractice lawyers are a great example of the type of experts available to you, and by conducting proper online research, you can discover a professional that’s perfect for you.
      Consider Recommendations from Family, Friends, and Acquaintances
      If you communicate with family members, you might discover someone close to you who has pursued a lawyer before. In this event, they can recommend a professional based on their own experience, or perhaps tell you who not to choose. If you know any other lawyers, you can seek further advice from them, since they’re likely to know someone who is perfect for your case.
      Use a Search Engine and Check Your Phone Directory
      By searching for medical malpractice lawyers online, you can find someone who’s most suited to your needs. You might want to include your location when you search, to discover someone within a reasonable distance of where you live. Phone directories are another great place to look, and you can subsequently search the relevant parties online.
      Contact Your Local Bar Association
      By getting in touch with your local bar association, you can access information that might not be available online. If you get lucky, you might even discover a free service on lawyer referral. Some countries have public lawyers you can hire for a small fee, but remember, the service you receive from public lawyers will be nothing compared to hiring a private lawyer.
      Visit the Bar’s Website
      After gathering a list of potential names, you can look them up on the local bar association website. Your local governing body will regulate lawyer services, so they will deter you from lawyers who have been reprimanded. This is a great way to find a lawyer with an esteemed background, and this helps if you’re taking a particularly cautious approach.
      Interview Different Lawyers
      Once you’ve shortlisted a bunch of potential lawyers, you can begin an interviewing process to narrow things down further. Set up interviews via phone, and gain a much better understanding of the lawyer’s proficiency by meeting them. This should make the decision much easier, but remember not to be sold by gift of gab with little substance.
      Selecting the Right Lawyer
      When it comes to the final decision, consider important metrics like:
      Feedback
      Credentials
      Track record
      Fees
      Firm resources
      By doing so, you’ll be one step closer to finding the right lawyer for you, creating peace of mind for subsequent legal proceedings.

    • Getting Back the Use of Your Legs - Entrepreneur Podcast Network – EPN

      Many adults struggle with movement. It can be difficult to walk even a quarter of a mile, let alone do anything active like dance. While for some, this difficulty is cause by a disability, for others, it’s caused by a myriad of more specific problems, many of them treatable. If you miss the days you used to splash through creeks and climb trees, be encouraged. There are many stories of individuals who beat their mobility problems, and there are many treatments available for improving your quality of life.

      You may have heard of Wilma Rudolph who, as a child, couldn’t walk without the use of leg braces. She grew up to become an international track star, called “The World’s Fastest Woman.” Recently, a US veteran who was told he’d never walk again underwent several years of yoga and physical therapy and is now not only walking but running. While our stories of success may not be as extreme, these and many other stories serve to remind us that anything is possible. Improved mobility could be waiting in your future.

      Let’s look at some of the more treatable issues that cause low mobility. For some, it’s simply excess weight. Many people don’t realize how difficult it is to move with extra pounds, but if you’re overweight, you do know. Your mobility is decreased by your body mass. The good news is, your weight doesn’t have to have the last word over your life story. You can go hiking and rock climbing again. It will take a lot of support and determination, but it’s absolutely possible to drop that weight and get your mobility back. Other causes of low mobility may be bad knees or vein disease. Vein disease, especially if caught early enough, can be stalled by vein treatments, and the swelling and ulcers that develop on your legs will be kept at bay, restoring a great deal of your mobility. Locastro Vein Center and other treatment centers can assist in restoring your legs.

      Recovery looks different for everyone, because everyone’s story is different. Like that veteran, you may be running again in the future. You may, on the other hand, find celebration in simply being able to walk–and do a charming two-step with your grandson on his wedding day. Don’t be discouraged if someone else’s recovery goes farther than yours. Every bit of regained mobility is a gift, one that you should feel very proud of achieving. You don’t know how much of your mobility you can regain. Who knows? You may even purchase a trampoline for adults and go bouncing. After all, with every step, you have a lot to celebrate!
