  • #47 - Mark O'Donnell: How to create successful systems.

    97% of strategic planning in businesses go unimplemented.

    The reason for this? There are no real, clear systems in place to make this a reality.

    Today, Mark O’Donnell, Author and Coach at Optimize for Growth, talked with Steve about helping business leaders and entrepreneurs do what they love and how make time for what they really want.

    To do what you love well? You need systems.

    //

    Mark talks through the four freedoms, specifically for entrepreneurs and business leaders (but, could also apply to individuals too!):

    1. Relationships - who do you want to spend time with?
    2. Purpose - what do you want to be doing?
    3. Time - how do you want to spend your time?
    4. Money - what resources do you need to make it happen?

    5. Greenhouse tip: Using the four freedoms, jot down some initial ideas that come to mind. What do you notice? Are there systems in your life to help you with this? If not, do you need to make changes to implement new systems?


      Mark O’Donnell is an entrepreneur, high growth strategist, and Certified EOS® Implementer. His passion is putting into motion innovative ideas with concrete strategies and plans, quickly removing obstacles and barriers, influencing and inspiring human achievement through the creation of goals in order to create action and forward movement to start working towards a bigger and better future.

    6. #46 - 5 ways to prioritize your weekly to-dos.

      "... I'm fearful of the workload I'm giving myself without a clear workflow." - Greenhouse client Matthew brought this question to Steve a year ago, which fueled today's conversation:

      How do you prioritize your week when everything feels important?

      Steve and Tyler Herrinton, Greenhouse's Media Director, talk today about 5 Ways to Prioritize Your Week over coffee on today's podcast.

      Prioritizing is for everyone! Going through these five steps will help you become aware of where your focus should lie. 

      1. Have a weekly rhythm
      2. Set your most important priority first
      3. Think about what’s most important
      4. Think about what’s most urgent
      5. Actually do your most important priority first thing on Monday (or whatever day of the week is your “Monday.”)
      6. Tune in for details on how to live these steps out well!

      13. #39 - The Best of: Ari Weinzweig of Zingerman's.

        We're back this week with another Greenhouse Effect favorite: Steve's interview last spring with Ari Weinzweig, Zingerman's Co-Founder!

        //

        Many leaders who build something as successful as Zingerman’s end up trapped in a life that serves their work. Ari has built a famous business while still maintaining the customer experience and the life he really wants. And it was possible because he wrote a vision on paper.

        Along with his partner Paul Saginaw, Ari started Zingerman’s Delicatessen in 1982 with a $20,000 bank loan, a staff of two, a small selection of great-tasting specialty foods and a relatively short sandwich menu. Today, Zingerman’s experiences over 500,000 visitors every year, has 700+ employees, and over $65M in sales.

        Ari discusses how writing a personal vision is the key. And how it has always related to the stuff that every progressive business writer touches on now:

        • Employee engagement
        • Treating people like they’re intelligent
        • People don’t do good work if they don’t believe in what they’re doing
        • Self-organizing work teams
        • Not getting into hierarchical models
        • Not overusing authority
        • Involve people in designing the systems they’re going to be a part of
