Does your leadership team set aside time and space each month or regularly to share the good, the wins from the last 30 days ... and then look ahead to the next 30 days of challenges and share experiences to learn and grow together?

Particularly with your work and career. 

I recently (finally) met Kim Doyal and felt instantly like I had missed out on meeting and being her friend sooner. 

She's filled with incredible wisdom and has such an amazing perspective on this thing called entrepreneurship (as well as life!).

Most of this conversation centers on her attitude and approach, particularly starting with having fun ... being more of the authentic you .... and showing up, consistently. 

Listen in and be better for doing so.

One of the great questions we ask ourselves but can often haunt us as entrepreneur is: What's Next?

Asking "What's Next?" is a great exercise to keep us focused on protecting and growing our businesses.

For me, it was about staying relevant in the market and to our customers well into the future. And taking the right steps to ensure our future. 

I did this "What's Next?" exercise often .... here's how it'd go:

FIRST, I started with assessing our current situation. 

Where are we now? Our customers, our products, our competition?

SECOND, I started pushing Fast Forward on it all .... and asked, "Where is it all going next?"

To help look into the future ... I'd take those buckets ... customers, products, competition, technology, industry, etc ... and would go ... what would 10X better be for all of it? 

What's the natural progression of all of this? And I'd play it all out. 

Hockey great Wayne Gretzky is often quoted that his key to success was that he "skated to where the puck would be, not to where it had been."

And from this exercise typically I could see clearer for where the puck was going .... and I'd have 1-3 clear priorities to focus on steer our way forward and "create our future."
