Leadership in a Nutshell

If you know me well, then you know I'm all about life design.

We are all architects in our business, and in our businesses.

When you think about growth, does it represent excitement or does it represent pain?

You say that you want growth, but your actions show something different.

The way that we do business is our creative outlet and I dive more into this in next episode (episode 33).

But don't focus on creating it right away - focus on designing it!

We're constantly evolving as leaders and teams. You're always running your current business AND your future business, and you probably don't even realize it.

I'm diving into the 4 stages of Team Formation:

Forming

Storming

Norming

Performing

At the end of the day, you will always be at one of these stages of team formation within your business.

And having clarity, staying positivity, and being support is critical during each of them.

Keep your team focused on what their purpose is - make sure they are in alignment with what they feel called to do.

What's the ideal type of company you'd want to run?

In this episode I give you 3 company buying scenarios and break down the numbers/psychological aspect of why you would buy one over the other.

Did you choose any one company because of confidence, culture, or your clarity?

Which would be the most fulfilling for you or which might strength/challenge you?

Guess what - there is not right answer. The answer is only what is right for YOU.

Does it make sense to you when you hear - "you have to choose between business success OR personal success.. you can't have both."

Guess what my friend? I believe you can have your cake AND you can eat it too!

Happiness > Wealth

49 million results come up on google when you type in "happiness over wealth"

Do you find that as insane as I did?

You're entitled to the life you WANT. If you want happiness - you have the power to make that happen.

Let's tie up the last few episodes around Pain Points with the last Pain Point - Mediocrity.

"Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you'll suck forever." - Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys

Do you get frustrated when you are "just average"? I know I do my friend..

When are you being mediocre and when are you playing all out and becoming the greatest version of yourself possible?

These are some questions to really think about..

Remember this, effective leaders are NOT mediocre.

In this episode of Leadership in a Nutshell, we're talking about pain point #2- Regret.

"Most people want to avoid pain, and discipline is usually painful" - John Maxwell

Remember, you're going to have pain when you have discipline, but today we're talking about regret and the reality is - when you stay the same, thats the ultimate regret.

Don't be a person that goes to the grave with regret.

And don't be a person who chases perfection because perfection is the biggest productivity killer.

You procrastinate because you want things to be perfect. Procrastination is the biggest regret in the world my friend..

We're talking about a pain point that's a struggle for all of us - discipline.

Sometimes pain is in our lives to serve a purpose.

One of the greatest entrepreneurs and motivational speakers, Jim Rohn, said "There are two types of pain - the pain of discipline, and the pain of regret. Discipline weighs ounces, while regret weighs tons."

I don't want you carry around tons of weight my friend!

Listen, it's going to be painful either way - but which would you rather have? Discipline or regret?

Discipline is challenging, yes. But you don't want to get to your death bed and have regret.

Let's embrace pain and use it as a driver in our life's purpose.

Turn discipline into a "get to" vs. a "have to".

In this episode of the Leadership in a Nutshell Podcast - I'm giving you a quick strategy to releasing anger.

A lot of times we carry around anger and as I like to call it - "baggage" into other areas of our life and it's extremely destructive my friend.

I'm not minimizing anger, or saying you shouldn't have it. But there are better ways to cope with it, and release it.. and this episode breaks it all down for you!

In this episode of Leadership in a Nutshell - I'm giving you a 3 part "simple change formula".

#1 - Identify the problem (5:27)
