Skylar Lewis is the CEO of Superior Restoration and Rise Up Kings. After overcoming the inconsistencies in his own life, Skylar shares what he has learned: caring for your employees and investing in personal growth will bring you fulfillment.

Rising Up

After noticing a lot of male entrepreneurs and business owners playing below their potential, Skylar saw an opportunity to help them show up for themselves and get more consistent with their routines. Through Rise Up Kings’ three-day event, he helps men (specifically men who are married with children) expose the areas that are preventing them from getting to the next level.

Skylar shares that there are four pillars that every man needs to focus on to become balanced in their life:

1. Faith
2. Family
3. Fitness
4. Finance

When you have a better grasp on these four pillars, you will grow in your business and personal life.

“Life happens, but we don’t realize that all those crazy things throw up walls, and they create insecurities and they prevent us from creating million dollar businesses.”

Care for Your People

Put your employees' needs first. Skylar explains that in order to achieve his desired level of freedom within his business, he had to dig deep and reassess personal areas where growth was necessary. One of those was to care more about his employees. If you care more about your employees than you do your income, it allows you to operate better as a leader.

“People can tell if you actually care about them or if you don’t. They will read you and even if they know in the back of their mind that you don’t really care, they’ll still follow you. But you build such a stronger tribe, and loyalty, and a team of committed people if you actually, at your core, do care about your people.”

Self-Reflection Leads to Growth

Don’t blame others for your business failures. Although it is easy to fault others for things not going right, Skylar encourages you to look at yourself first. Realization is generally the first step to overcoming these issues. Focus on what you have control over and where you have potential deficiencies. That is where the real change starts to happen - in your sphere of influence.

Evaluate your inconsistencies. Inconsistent behavior is a silent killer in the workplace that can lead to confusion, distrust, and error. Furthermore, you may not realize how damaging your unintentional inconsistencies may be. When you’re not showing up for your employees the way they need, there is room left for uncertainty. This can lead to a lack of direction.

“First, get clear on what you want. That’s the most important thing. Most people don’t know. They may be like ‘I want to grow but I don’t know how.’ Just get clear on what you want and who you want to be.” 

Start a to-do list. Hire a coach. Take a risk. You’re the only one blocking yourself from success.
