February 11, 2022 778 - Debunking Boring Strategic Plans
The number one issue in entrepreneurship today is that entrepreneurs do not know the true value of a strategic plan. In fact, most business schools, startup courses, and business consultants go about this all wrong. A strategic plan for your business can change everything, but a true strategic plan should be exciting and capture your entreprenurial vision of the future. The strategic planning myth is so pervasive that entrepreneurs avoid planning at all costs. Most notably the cost of their growth. Our entrepreneurial journey doesn't end here!

February 08, 2022 777 - The Number One Value of a Leader
Leadership is the one thing that will make or break a business. A company with a deficit of leadership is going to implode, but a company that creates and develops leaders is going to scale consistently and predictably. Years ago, a coach and consultant friend of mine asked a group of executives, "What is the number one value of a leader in business?" We all said Results, Integrity, Power, Teamwork, etc. But what he said next has completed changed the way I view effective leaders, especially in my own company.

February 04, 2022 776 - The Gift of COVID (What I've Learned)
Today is day 16 after my diagnosis with Covid. It has been an interesting ride. I obsess over my health and do a ton of biohacking and optimization so I'm very sensitive when it comes to anything that's going on. Covid is unlike anything I've ever had. There were so many twists and turns, it was confusing. One of the most interesting symptoms with Covid is that for the past five or six days I have been frustrated and irritated. On Saturday I sat down to plan for the first time in almost 2 weeks. It was incredibly frustrating and weird. I teach planning, my company is all about planning, it's something that I'm obsessed with and on Saturday I just couldn't hook in or get excited. It was the opposite, no matter what I wrote and looked at I felt irritated, frustrated, and like nothing mattered. This is not a normal feeling for me. Over the last few days I have meditated, and leaned into this feeling and it has been a surprise. I feel like Covid has been a massive upgrade, I explain more in the podcast.

February 01, 2022 775 - Why We Rebranded
Over the course of the past six months, we have gone through the process of rebranding our entire company. We went from a personal brand "Charfen" to a corporate brand "Simple Operations." It took us a while but we figured out that our personal brand was causing more confusion than clarity and making it difficult to work with us. It has been a huge eye-opener. I'm looking forward to sharing the lessons we learned and why we did this with you, it may help you in your business. Our entrepreneurial journey doesn't end here!

January 28, 2022 774 - Bottleneck Breakthrough Step 3: Passenger Seat
If you haven't yet, listen to the two previous episodes on "Bottleneck Breakthrough" and this one will make a lot more sense. The third step to never being the biggest bottleneck in your business again is to --- stop doing everything! This may seem like it makes sense however I watch entrepreneurs all the time higher team, and then keep doing what I've been doing in the past. I in our membership, we talk about moving into what we call the "passenger seat" in your business. This is where you are guiding the business, coaching its growth, directing what it is doing, but you aren't driving. Driving is a tactical responsibility, not a strategic one. It takes us forever as entrepreneurs to figure this out but once we do, our business can really grow. Our entrepreneurial journey doesn't end here!

January 25, 2022 773 - Bottleneck Breakthrough Step 2: Lead Your Team
Once you have a strategic plan, a clear roadmap for your team, you've accomplished the first step of getting out of being the biggest bottleneck. If what comes next is critically important. In order for you to stop being the biggest bottleneck, your team needs to be confident in how you are going to communicate with them. Most teams wait for a "words from on high" so that they know what's going on. There's no communication system, there's no communication structure, the entire process is ambiguous and creates insecurity. When you create a clear system to communicate with your team, it will increase trust, increased clarity with which you communicate and your team will get more done.

One of the biggest issues with growing a business is that you realize you are the biggest bottleneck in the business. It can be excruciating. Knowing you are the person who is really holding things back. It as you start growing a team, this comes with constant interruptions, got a minute, and more than take away your time and slow you down. So many of us got into entrepreneurship so that we can create freedom and then we become the biggest bottleneck in our business which is one of the most constraining feelings there is. Thankfully there's hope, in this podcast, I share the first step that we have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs take and get out of being the biggest bottleneck in their business.

January 14, 2022 771 - What Your Operator Needs More Than Anything Else
We spend a lot of time with business operators in our organization, maybe more than we spend with the visionary entrepreneurs who founded the business. The reason is, we help entrepreneurs simplify the operations of their business so that they can grow without having to do everything themselves. To do this, a critical factor in long-term success is hiring a capable operator that can help you run the tactical parts of your business in a strategic way. At our last event, we had a fantastic operator panel, and we had one in the event before that was just as good. All six operators on these panels confirmed that the number one want and need they have in their relationship with their CEO is… autonomy. There's a reason why autonomy is vital to an operator; I explain more in the podcast. Our entrepreneurial journey doesn't end here!

January 11, 2022 770 - Stop Terrifying Your Operator
One of the most important things our company does this help visionary entrepreneurs find and work with incredible operators. As visionaries, we need the person in our business who will pay attention to the details, strategically drive the tactical, and help us grow without doing everything ourselves. We call the person in this position an operator, and we feel they are one of the most critical factors in successfully growing a business. One of the biggest challenges for us as visionaries is that we can scare them daily if we don't understand the operator's personality type, we can scare them daily. We can be why they have trouble getting things done and feel a ton of anxiety and frustration. Don't get me wrong, we don't do this on purpose, but if we don't understand some important aspects of the operator personality type, we will do this a lot without even knowing we have. In the podcast, I explain how to stop terrifying your operator and help them get even more done faster. Our entrepreneurial journey doesn't end here!

January 07, 2022 769 - Avoid Sabotaging Your Operator (And Set Them up for Success)!
It's incredible how often I hear the story of an entrepreneur hiring an operator, usually an executive assistant, personal assistant, or a virtual assistant, where everything was going great until it wasn't. Maybe you can relate if you ever hired someone into an operator position and then had it go wrong. Here's what an entrepreneur typically tells me… For the first weeks and months of having the operator in their position, they felt a ton of relief, and things were going well. They felt like it was going to work out, and they were finally going to get The help they needed. But then things start to shift... The operator stopped taking the initiative, they were no longer stepping up, and they weren't as much help. They started missing stuff and affecting The company and its customers. The entrepreneur begins to lose confidence in the operator and starts thinking, and they may need to get rid of them. It is counter-intuitive, but when I hear this scenario, I almost always know that it's a mistake the entrepreneur is making and onboarding and working with their operator. This video explains how to stop sabotaging your operator and set them up for long-term success. Your business has the potential to change the world, and the only way to see that potential become a reality is to implement a strategic plan.
