Do you ever just wish you could see around the "next corner" for your business? Have you ever been blindsided by a major challenge that seemed to come out of nowhere? But in hindsight, you realized it had been brewing for a long, long time; you just didn't see it coming.

What if I told you that a map already exists?

And what if we, as small business owners, have each been mistakenly redrawing the map again and again and again when we could have been exploring truly uncharted territories? What a waste of time.

A map of the road to success for business owners does exist, and it is called the Predictable Success Model.  This model lays out the seven stages every for-profit and nonprofit business goes through from its beginning to its end.

Guest today is Dr. Bethany Fishbein, CEO of The Power Practice.

If you are unsure where you fall on the map and what are the right strategies for you at the stage you are in, let us help! We work with solo to emerging DSOs and help them determine the right strategy and develop emerging leaders to get you there.

Our natural leadership style biases our thinking to one of these four questions: Why? What? How? and Who? It’s a classic case of, to a hammer, everything is a nail. But we all know you can’t build an entire house with only a hammer (at least not a house most of us would want to live in).

So in this podcast, we’ll pull all four key leadership styles together to discuss the strengths of each style and their application of them in your organization.

Recap
If you missed the podcast, leadership styles needed to scale, here’s what you need to know. As leaders, the questions we naturally ask break down into four categories primarily driven by our leadership style. How to we scale becomes who do we need?

For those serious about scaling, I've put together this mini-course to discuss, how to scale using your org chart. It's powerful and yet simple enough for you to implement today!

If you aren't sure if leadership is really affecting your bottom line, I encourage you to take the People Plus Purpose assessment and get the answer in real time.

This stage of the Founder’s Evolution is the single greatest shift in the entire journey. Your entire history as a founder and a leader up to this point has taught you the skill of winning the game on the field.

In Stage 1, you learned the skills of the very best players out there.

In Stage 2, you dove in and learned in real-time, real-life what it takes to win.

In Stage 3, you focused on what you did best while learning to keep everything else moving through others.

You won by working, by doing. And the simple fact that you have made it this far is proof that you’ve done all of that exceptionally well.

Now, the captain becomes the coach.

When you’re coaching from the sideline, it takes a whole new set of skills. Your game is mostly played between games. Once the game is underway, once the play has been called, all you can do is sit back and watch.

Listen in to learn more about the hardest stage in the Founder's Evolution and how to get through this transformational phase.

The demands of leadership are constantly changing. At the ground level, it can feel like you've been blindsided or entirely off the map altogether. But our evolution as leaders follows a predictable pattern. And if you know and understand that pattern, you'll excel as a leader with a fraction of the heartaches and headaches.

That’s what this month's podcast series is all about. I’m going to show you the distinct stages a founder goes through as they grow their organization and their leadership.

More importantly, I will show you the transition points and the thresholds that stand between each stage.

Today, we are focusing on the transition phase from The Fractional CEO to Expansive Leadership with our guest expert, Dr. Bonnie Wilson.

Dr. Bonnie is an emergency department nurse, now focusing on helping others make conscious choices as life should not be lived as an emergency.  Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are topics where she excels and where she has successfully coached executive leaders.  Her sense of humor allows her to say the "hard stuff" while remaining candid yet respectful.  Dr. Bonnie's coaching outlook is grounded in her view that the "glass is always half-full." She encourages her clients to maintain their priorities to stay spiritually, mentally, and physically healthy. Her own priorities of God, health, family than work guide her decision-making.

I mentioned in this episode the importance to start with a strong operator and, depending on your goals, you may only need a Certified DOO to get you to the next stage. Our Certified DOOs are natural Operators who are taught the skillsets to be strong Processors and Synergists as well. For those emerging groups looking to scale, eventually, you'll need all 4 of these leadership styles in your organization.
