  • #172: How to Create a Vision to Align Your Business and Your Life
    Today I’m talking about aligning your principles with your business and life with Chris Yonker, who is a world-leading vision maker and transition alchemist. He aids people in breaking through to their sales and business goals by helping them in four different aspects of their lives: physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional. 
    Chris Yonker has a background in neuro-linguistic programming, a seventh-degree blackbelt and a thought leader in personal performance. He takes all of that experience and uses the information to help his clients eliminate resistance in their life as an entrepreneur and their vision for their personal and professional future.
    What you will learn:
    Who is Chris and what is his background?
    Building businesses to get to an outcome versus their love for business
    How behavior drives outcomes 
    How NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) works
    Replicating outcomes through mastery and sensory acuity
    Power vs. Force by David Hawkins
    Creating a business for the wrong reasons
    How should we be making decisions?
    How you can go through an evolution as an entrepreneur without whiplash
    Who is advising you?
    The importance of self-calibrating
    What are your rules for happiness?
    Takeaway:
    What if you didn’t have to be that person, that struggled in order to still have success? Being aware of what you want and why before you have that anxiety or feel imprisoned in your business, is the most important part of being able to engineer the exact outcome that you want. Being able to look inward and doing that reflection will get you to that point.

  • #171: Why the Time to Sell Is When You're Doing Well
    Today on the show, I’m with Chad Peterson (and his beard), who is here to share his story about growing and selling six companies (including a mortgage business back in the 2000s back when the financial crisis hit). He is here to share the lessons he has learned, the pros and cons of selling six different companies, and how he has become the top in his field. We also talk about how valuable and important your passion for your business is and why that can be a deciding factor on if you should sell your company.
    What you will learn:
    Chad’s background in flight school and mortgages
    “When you’re doing well, is the time to sell.”
    What is a “quantum leap jump”?
    When not to sell your company
    Being passionate versus being too emotionally attached to your business
    The different types of businesses Chad has built in the past
    The books Chad has written
    Chad’s game plan with building and selling his businesses
    Where there is no passion, there is no profit
    What happens when hatred comes into the equation
    What to do when you are too financially trapped in your business
    Takeaway:
    Learn about what matters, regardless of the timeline. Even if you’re having fun, think about your business in the way a buyer would look at it. Look at what your exit strategy is, regardless if it is five or ten years out. This will help you shift your mindset and build a healthy business that will have a more transferable cash flow and be more enjoyable for you and your clients.

    About Chad:
    Ever since Chad was young, he knew he was destined to fulfill his own destiny. He was always self-sufficient and he knew that he was always an enterpriser. Even when he was in his teens, he built his own window cleaning company and his own lawn/landscaping company. These helped him pursue his education when he attended flight sc

  • #170: How One Week Killed the Perfect Billion Dollar Deal
    On today’s episode, I’m talking with Sunny Vanderbeck. He’s here today to share his wild and crazy ride as an entrepreneur and now as a private equity investor. Through his professional and personal journeys, Sunny realized that “business” is so ingrained in people who you are and what your legacy is, which is why he started Satori Capital. Sunny and I talk about how to figure out what is important to you, how to determine what’s important when you sell your business, and how to make your business even more valuable than it is now.
    What you will learn:
    Sunny’s professional and entrepreneurial background
    How to determine what’s important to you when you sell your business
    What you should look for in a buyer
    How to make a list of who you care about and how you should figure out what you want to do with them during your exit
    “The One-Year Trap”
    How the same things that make your company more valuable will make it more transferable 
    Ways to ask yourself one of the most important questions as a CEO, founder, or owner: 
    At 5:00 PM, what are your employees’ mindsets?
    How does that impact your culture, your business, and your legacy
    The moment you decide to sell to a third party, the entire process is optimized for two things (1) the highest price and (2) the highest probability of close
    How to ask the crazy questions
    Takeaway:
    It’s not just about your money, it’s about your legacy. What can you do with your company now and as you plan your exit strategy, in order to cement the kind of legacy you want? Write down who you care about, and what your optimal future is.

  • #169: How to Build a Company that Manages Itself: Living in the Owner's Box after Implementing EOS
    On today’s episode, I’m talking with Tech Guru founder and EOS expert, Daniel Moshe. We’re talking about how he started his business, how he grew it, how he balanced and dealt with personal and professional challenges. We also go over his business partner (Micah Thor), how he followed his passion, and his return on capital. 
    When Daniel was going through burnout, he was able to make the hard decisions rather than just having a knee-jerk reaction. He could have the difficult discussion, implement EOS, decouple ownership from management, and put a plan in place.
    What you will learn:
    Daniel’s background as an entrepreneur
    The story behind Tech Guru
    Daniel’s other passion: working with 14 entrepreneurial leadership teams by helping them build their dream businesses
    The concept that you are not your business
    Daniel’s path to that realization
    Delegating and elevating to your unique ability
    The importance of a great business partner
    The difference between ownership and W2 pay
    Daniel’s experience with EOS
    The biggest challenges that Daniel’s clients deal with
    How to find your purpose and meaning outside of business
    “Clarity Breaks”
    Daniel’s advice for anyone who’s in the middle of “The Chaos”
    Takeaway:
    How can you develop a life after business while still owning and running a business? How can you reframe your mindset so you can see that your business is merely an asset? You can run your business (on autopilot) while you pursue other passions.
