  • #93 Do you own or operate your business

    Today I pose a question that I had to ask myself years ago. It has come up multiple times in client conversations over the last few months and I wanted to share my thoughts.

    I learned years ago that delegation properly accomplished allowed for greater success. I did it inside my role in the Marine Corps but I struggeld with it inside my business.

    Take a listen to this short episode as I wallk through creating awareness and a resource that can help you make a shift inside your business.

    P.S. Thank you to all the listeners who tuned in to the podcast in 2022. Our year end numbers were the best we ever had!

  • #91 Gratitude inside Family and Business

    As Christmas approaches and the year is wrapping up I wanted to share an area of opportunity that I am working on.

    I share this area of improvement because there is a good chance you have a similar one that you are struggling with.

    Since my childhood I have had trouble expressing gratitude verbally. When I win awards I feel uncomfortable. I have been putting in the work, however, to create a pattern interrupt.

    In this episode I discuss the shift I am making so you can implement a similar "Intentional Disruption" in whichever area of opportunity you identify.

    We should not live lives where we cannot ask for help because "it's my responsibility" or "i'll figure it out" or better yet, "I'm not worth it".

    I hope you have a fantastic week and look forward to connecting.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I wanted to share a struggle I have been working on and today seemed the perfect day to bring it forward.

  • #85 We're in a fix

    Happy birthday to my fellow US Marines out there!

    On todays episode I won't be giving investment advice or offering securities but I do want to walk through what the interest rate market has done for new growth opportunities I have seen.

    Without answers to this situation many small businesses will lack the growth capital needed to prosper through the next market cycle.

    Educational topic but also one that brings home the negative impact of failed monetary policy at the federal level.

  • #84 Excellence in Execution

    Today I discuss one of the biggest things holding most business owners from the growth, revenue and life they have always wanted.

    I was having a conversation with leadership at a Fortune 500 company regarding their technology suite. Similar to the main street business this company has a little bit of shiny object syndrome. In saying that some may think it is a dig. It is simply a asssesment of current state. Even if the technology is not ideal, the execution of process and the people managing it matter more than the widget.

    This is not a situation where shame or guilt should come in to play. Ego also can be left to the side. Take an honest look at your core process. In the episode I use client onboarding as the example. If that process is not flawless and simple no amount of awesome widgets on the back end will lead to referral business.

    My invitation is to focus the rest of this year on one key area of your business. Get it to where it executes at a flawless level.. and ensure that does not change.

    You never see a house last when it was built on a shaky foundation. In business the same holds true. I want you to be successfull. It starts with perfect execution of the basics.

  • #82 Opportunities lost forever

    Today's podcast comes on the heels of a dear family friend passing a few days ago.

    My message relates to your personal life but it has implications inside of your business as well.

    When I ran my first business I tried to outthink my competition. I tried to dedicate more time and resources to the 5% activities. It turnes out the blocking and tackling of business that made up 80% of revenue were where my business needed the work.

    In life we talk about wanting to do more, be more but we miss the things that make this experience worth it.

    Too often we live in a head based model instead of a heart based model. Not getting all woo-woo here but there is a reason we have songs and stories going back thousands of years talking about trusting your heart.

    If you enjoyed the episode please leave a review. It takes a second or two and makes a difference in our push to grow from a top 10% podcast to a top 5% podcast.
