  • Episode 44: Business Model. Which way?
    1. The time-based model: This one is pretty common and straightforward. Your rate and scope of work are determined at the outset. You can choose to have an hourly rate or a day rate, which is often referred to as a per diem. Not my favorite but definitely to be considered when starting your consulting company.
    2. The project-based model: My favorite one and what I do 90% of the time! You agree to perform a specific type of work for a predetermined amount of money. Before starting, the details of all deliverables will be agreed upon by both parties. Big advantage is the signed contract. Be careful of clients that keep adding more tasks that weren’t outlined in the original contract. This often happens unintentionally.
    3. The retainer-based model: This involves providing ongoing service over a set period of time. Unlike the project model, this approach doesn’t necessarily involve a specific deliverable. To me, I find it challenging to individually charge for a text that took me 30 seconds to send. Not my favorite but excellent to maintain a relationship with a client.
    4. The consulting firm model: In this situation, you hire freelancers or employees to complete work on your behalf. You still own the relationship with the client, but you have a team that handles some or all of the work. This will allow you to spend more one on one time with clients, while still meeting their needs and provide a wider range of services. You’ll need to be highly skilled at project management to avoid these fiascos. Also, your reputation is on the line so you want to make sure to fully trust your partners.

    6. Episode 43: Don't subjectify people around you

      Imagining that people around us are more like us than they actually are! How can we focus more on honoring the differences in our way of being, thinking and acting?

      Something that I've been working on a lot is trying to make as few assumptions as possible!

      We very often tend to make up stories about people to blame them instead of focusing on love. Humans are very much “meaning making” machines. Everything we see or hear has to mean something. What if that attitude was about always being certain? What if being certain was about superiority?

    7. Episode 42: Wednesday Family: 7 questions to ask to improve communication at home

      7 questions to ask to improve communication at home

      Relationships are not about perfection but about evolution. A person that wants to add value to your life needs to see that you value yourself first.

      1. Who did you talk to that you encouraged this week?
      2. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
      3. Have you had any good examples of mentors in your life who have lived out an authentic leadership model?
      4. What do you value most in a friendship?
      5. Who would you want to have as a dinner guest?
      6. Is there anything I can help you with this week?
      7. What’s on your bucket list?

      9. Episode 41: The True Meaning of a Black Belt

        "The black belt represents the beginning - the start of a never-ending journey of discipline, work, and the pursuit of an ever-higher standard.”

        1. Relationships: You have new relationships with people everyday. Even if you talk to a person daily and live with them. Everything is new and different every single day! Have the discipline to learn boundaries and respect! Work, family and friends. All relationships are always new!
        2. Ambidexterity: disruptive AND disciplined. Structuring disruption. If you want to be successful, you need to balance disruption and discipline. Teenagers are great examples! Don't stop being one! You can’t move without breaking things!
        3. Manage your growth: Leaders and teams often can't keep up with growth; failing to deliver on goals because they don't have the right resources, processes or infrastructure. Airbnb found itself growing so fast at one point that they consciously decided to slow growth. Hit pause to catch up and question things.

          • Episode 39: Book review #5: Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies

            "Survival of the fittest": To be built to last you must be built to change. Preserve the core and stimulus progress.

            All leaders eventually die and all visionary products and services products become obsolete. Visionary companies survive through multiple leaders and multiple products.

            Myths covered in this book: the myth of the great idea, the charismatic leader, maximizing profit, these great places to work for "everyone", etc...

            On our book review today, we are going to focus on 3 key ideas out of 9 that the book talks about:

            • Clock Building, Not Time Telling - go beyond a great leader to building a great institution
            • Cult-Like cultures - cult-like adherence to the culture
            • Home-Grown Management - hire leaders from within
            • Companies used in our episode:

              • GE (Charles A. Coffin - Wikipedia) vs. Westinghouse
              • Disney vs. Colombia pictures
              • 3M
              • Nordstrom

              • Episode 38: Personal development is pivotal to all business success

                Managing and maintaining your mindset and mental health are proving to be the most essential ingredients to being a successful business owner.

                1. Identify and maximize your strengths: Self-assessment will highlight your people's skill areas you can work on. It is a great place to start. It will help you feel more competent by looking at what you do best. It will motivate you to keep improving.
                2. Always invest in foundational relationships: Relationships will have trials and tribulations! Care for yourself to be able to care for others. Don’t take people for granted. When your journey turns sour and goes south, you’re going to need these special people to be around you because they won't judge or criticize but will be supporters to catch you when you fall and bounce you back.
                3. Dedicate time for personal development and do regular mental health checks: Don't focus on remediation. Focus on prevention. Be proactive and work to increase your self-awareness of what makes you vulnerable. 
                4. If necessary, never hesitate to choose a coach, or mentor to work with you. Having qualified and trained professionals will open your eyes to different perspectives and offer you techniques and skills to strengthen your mental toolkit.

                5. Episode 37: Your network is your net worth

                  The Importance & Value of Business Networking. 

                  Expanding your network can have great value. Today we are going to take a look at how a robust business network can take your confidence and career path to new places. 

                  1. Visibility: Business world is often more about who you know, not what you know. If people are aware of your expertise and you’ve made an impact on them, guess who they will contact when they need help with something? You.
                  2. Resources: No matter what industry you are in, hard times happen. You may lose your job, face an impossible deadline, or come across a problem you don’t have the expertise to handle. During situations like these, a strong network can really pay off. The connections you make could lead to career opportunities or new clients during rough times, give you resources when you face a challenge, and so much more.
                  3. New ideas & perspectives: Networking means engaging with all kinds of different people who come from all different backgrounds. You and everyone you meet can bring something unique to the table. Collaborating (or even just talking) can lead to new business ideas, new insights, and so much more. Not only can this help you learn new things, but it can help you avoid mistakes, and make sure you never run out of fresh ideas.

                  5. Episode 36: Financial Literacy for teenagers

                    Financial literacy is important because it equips us with the knowledge and skills we need to manage money effectively. Without it, our financial decisions and the actions we take—or don't take—lack a solid foundation for success. Nearly half of Americans (and others) don't expect to have enough money to retire comfortably.

                    When kids learn financial literacy at an early age, they become less impressionable to the attitudes of money held by the adults around them. 

                    Once kids know proper money management skills, they tend to keep them and use them throughout their lives.

                    1. Education and college
                    2. Jobs
                    3. Lasting relationships

                    5. Episode 35: Sales & Social isolation (studies from 2008 and 2014)

                      Our new episode this week is part of our "sales process" series. 

                      "Sales & Social isolation" is our topic. Our episode is based on 2 studies from 2008 and 2014 focusing on sales, performance and health.

                      For all businesses, the sales force is the lifeblood that generates the revenue to stay in business!

                      There is no business when there is no sales!

                      1. Workplace isolation: Salespeople are at high risk to experience burnout in their jobs.

                      2. Salesperson commitment: Sales people hear rejection from the majority of their social interactions. This leads to many engaging in poor diet and health habits, rushing to meetings, that very often explains the high turnover rate.

                      3. Job performance
