5As entrepreneurs, we step into our roles as Visionaries to create freedom. The challenge for many of us is rather than creating freedom, we create a business that needs infinitely more time from us than a job would. There is one consistent reason that I see entrepreneurs stuck in the day-to-day of their businesses. The reason is counter-intuitive. Not many people talk about it, but when you resolve this, you can get your time back, step into the visionary role, and grow the company you've always known you should. In this podcast, I share the reason and the solution so that you can grow the company you want.

As entrepreneurs we have been convinced that the better we do, the easier things will get. That there is this magical time in a business where we won't have any more problems if we do everything right. Unfortunately, this is just not true. In any business, growth creates complexity, and success creates deficit. The better we understand this concept, the faster we can grow our company, get stronger where things break and grow a real business. In this podcast, I share a mindset shift that will help you become a better leader, grow a better team, and accomplish more than you thought possible. If you're ready to make your company stronger where things break, go to simpleoperations.com and sign up for a call with my team.

It is relatively easy to see the tactical help we need when growing a company. When we get overwhelmed in sales, we need a salesperson. We need someone to handle customer service when there are too many customer inquiries.

A deficit we don't often see coming and catches so many entrepreneurs off guard is when we need more leadership in our business.

In companies I've owned and coached, I've seen this stall growth, create unnecessary challenges, and rob us of opportunity.

In this podcast, I share with you how you can anticipate where you will need help in leadership and how you can start developing people from within or recruit from outside your organization and have people quickly duplicate your decision-making.

If you are ready to install the systems that allow your team to duplicate your decision-making, automatically develop leadership within your company and get new leaders up and running quickly, go to predictablebusinesssystems.com and sign up for a call with our team.

One of the most frustrating aspects of growing a team for most entrepreneurs it's deciding how much to pay people. Even discussing salaries can create frustration and anxiety for most of us. It makes things even worse when we have a team member with unrealistic expectations of what we should pay them. If we pay someone more than we should, we create an environment of entitlement that can spread like cancer throughout an organization. Recently A friend of mine reached out with a situation where not one but two people on his team were trying to hold him up for outrageous salaries that didn't make sense. In this podcast, I share the advice that I gave him, and I know it worked because I got a text message after our call that he said, “thanks for talking me off a ledge." Let me talk you off the ledge before you ever get there. If you've been a listener of this podcast for a while, or even if you've just started, I would genuinely appreciate it if you would leave a review.

Far too often, entrepreneurs share stories with me of going out and trying to get help with an issue in their business and almost immediately feeling like they let themselves down. One of the hardest things we do as entrepreneurs is ask for help. Even though we know we need more help than the average person, any request we make for help leaves us feeling vulnerable and exposed. Over the past few weeks, I have had at least three friends tell me stories of consultants or coaches they have hired that have let them down, exaggerated their capabilities, and made up their backgrounds and credibility. When it comes to getting help, let me share with you a process that will allow you to trust but verify and have confidence you will get the help you need.

There is far too much mythology and messaging in the entrepreneurial world today about how quickly you can create success. The myth of the overnight success story and entrepreneurship is just that, a myth. There's always more to the story. There is so much of this messaging that it has convinced entrepreneurs who are actually succeeding in growing a business that they are doing it wrong because it's not going fast enough. It has made people doubt themselves, question their judgment, and compare themselves to others in a way that just isn't fair. In this podcast, I share the reality of entrepreneurship to give you confidence that you are doing it right, you are exactly where you should be, and it's never been easy for any of us. This may be one of the most important episodes I've recorded. For support with your business, navigate to simpleoperations.com. We are looking forward to connecting with you.

When we start as entrepreneurs, we must do everything to be successful. There's really no other way to start a business. Once we are up and running, if we want our businesses to continue growing, delegation is one of the disciplines we must understand. If this is not easy for you, you are not alone. It isn't easy for any of us. Delegation is difficult. For some of us, delegation has become so difficult that we stop trusting that we can. This is one of the most limiting beliefs we can develop as entrepreneurs. There was a significant time period in my entrepreneurial career when I believed this. I did not trust delegation, and it held me back, kept me trapped in the day-to-day of my business, and stopped my business from growing. In this episode, I share a process with you where you can make delegation permanent and start to trust that you can delegate. You will also start seeing the possibility of just how much more you can delegate, so you can have the life you want. For support with your business, navigate to simpleoperations.com.

I had an interaction with one of our members at our event where he told me, “the problem with the people on my team is they don't see things like I do.” As a Visionary entrepreneur, I can't tell you how many times I've thought of this myself. I can clearly see the problem, and I can clearly see the solution, but the people around me just can't see what I see. If this sounds familiar to you as an entrepreneur, there's a reason; this is our life’s work as visionary entrepreneurs. I look forward to sharing it with you in this episode because it may change your perspective on… everything. For support with your business, navigate to simpleoperations.com.

I tend to have contrary opinions regarding successfully running a business. One of my opinions that contradicts many is it there is one singular most crucial purpose of any business. The most important purpose is not to make an impact, change the world, or even fulfill your promise to your customers. There is something that is far more important. This is not discussed enough in the entrepreneurial world, and I want to change that.
