Meet David Burkus

David Burkus is a best-selling author, a sought-after speaker, an associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University. His newest book, Friend of a Friend, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections—one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He’s delivered keynotes to the leaders of Fortune 500 companies and the future leaders of the United States Naval Academy. David’s TED talk has been viewed over 1.9 million times and he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review.

Successes

The DailyBurk…launching my daily video show on 5 social networks at once was admittedly really ambitious…but the early signs suggest its working.

Hosted a full-blast Family Thanksgiving for nearly sixty people.

Moving my career to the next level with his publisher.

Concerns

How to get more people to know I exist?

How to sell more books?

How to get more speaking engagements?

Kudos

Neha my “chief of staff” (it’s a running joke because there is no key staff. She’s the real organization behind the DailyBurk and she’s doing an awesome job.

Key Metrics

Books Sold

Speaking Inquiries

DailyBurk Video View Count

Email Subscribers

Goals

Get a “Green Light” for my next book from my publisher.

Key Takeaway

I’m going to get a better handle on my Key Metrics because: A) I don’t have solid Key Metrics for those platforms, and B) I wasn’t considering the Key Metric that probably matters the most (Email Subscribers).

Meet Dave Codrea & Josh Friedensohn

Josh and Dave started their partnership together 10 years ago. From the start, they were hyper-focused on creating a narrow vision with extreme execution. For the past 10 years, they have been doing the same thing: Wash, rinse, repeat to break 9 figures. Greenleaf’s early stages had one common thread: Dream big, work hard, play by the rules, and take care of one another. The Greenleaf family remains steadfast on those core principles as they have grown.

Every step of the way and every new venture that we begin, we expect our people to bootstrap their way to successfully mastering the required skills as they progress upward through the organization.

With this entrepreneurial mindset, we have reached extreme operational efficiency on sub-institutional, small-scale investments aggregating them to enable us to outperform the investment market while delivering our residents a stable community in affordable housing throughout the southeast US.

Successes

Launched a new asset class and new business channels.

Passed the 100 Employee Mark at Greenleaf.

Making new acquisitions at the fastest rate ever.

Concerns

New acquisitions and growth resulting in resource constraints.

We grew to over 100 employees, but our average employee tenure (experience level) went down.

The productivity of new employees.

Time Management*

Developing and managing teams of specialists in the organization.

Kudos

Nathan Etheridge – Closed 3 new acquisitions in one week, crushing his yearly goal by 3x.. and counting!

Brian Santos moved to Charlotte, NC to manage a new Greenleaf property.

Laura Fraire moved to Chattanooga, TN to manage a new Greenleaf property.

Key Metrics

Retention – It’s the number-one thing we look at and it guides everything we do.

Goals

Outsource all bill processing by November 19, 2018

Create an outline of the Greenleaf 30-Year Plan by December 31, 2018

Key Takeaways

Chemistry – It’s either there or it’s not, and you can’t fake it.

Be more mindful of celebrating successes.

Meet Erika Gutierrez

Erika Gutierrez is a positive thinker, motivator and applied mathematician graduating from Florida State University. She recently launched the blog The Positive Focus Blog and was selected by the Linkedin Video team to be a student representative on campus. Like hundreds of thousands of people on LinkedIn, I discovered Erika’s wonderfully inspiring and practical videos and content when I needed it the most. That story and more is in this episode just for you!

Successes

Launched her LinkedIn Video Series and got over 200k views in the first 30 days.

Got hired by Knack Technologies as a writer.

Continued success in school after adding LinkedIn Video and Knack tutoring.

Beginning course creation projects with Explorium in the UK.

Chosen to be a Student Representative for LinkedIn at Florida State University.

Concerns

Statistics Class

Getting through graduation

Balancing new projects with school responsibilities & commitments

Number One Mistake Leaders Make

Trying to demand and control rather than inspire. Demanding and controlling employees can lead to internal work issues, but inspiring them will lead to growth and business development.

Goals

Finish final exams

Completely redo thepositivefocus.com blog

Launch a new YouTube Channel before December 1, 2018

Key Takeaway

Having a certain number of views on a video or post won’t exactly measure success. What will measure success is your ability to do something with those views and monetize those views.
