The Double Win

It is July which means that 2022 is already halfway finished. While some people have made huge steps towards their goals, others have goals that they're struggling to complete. Maybe that's you. If it is, then there's no judgement - life can demand your attention in ways we can't anticipate. The good news is that it's not too late to achieve your 2022 goals!

Today, Michael and Megan provide you with a four-step Midyear Goal Rescue Plan to help get you back on track.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How a simple decision can make all of the difference in achieving your 2022 goals
• Different ways to rethink the goals that you wrote at the start of the year
• How a mini Best Year Ever can help you find exciting and risky goals for the rest of the year
• How to avoid missing these goals a second time

As business leaders, we've been programmed to think that we have to be chained to our desks and phones, always in meetings, and always ready to drop everything to fix a problem at work. And, of course, we've also been conditioned that there is simply no time for a vacation.

The good news is that none of that is true.

Since Michael is out on his vacation, today's episode is taken from a popular webinar that he presented called "Walk Away and Watch it Grow: How Business Owners Can Build a Self-Scaling Company without their Constant Involvement".

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to cut your work week and get out of day-to-day management while maintaining ultimate control of a growing company
• The quick and stress-free move to see if your company is ready for you to step away (but most owners and CEOs are too afraid to try)
• How to actually take a vacation with complete certainty your business will not fall apart in your absence
• Three elements that make up the secret sauce of a company that continues to thrive as you step back
• And so much more...

As a business leader, there's really only one thing that is certain: you will face problems. What isn't certain is how well you do at identifying the problems and then correcting them. In this episode, Michael and Megan walk listeners through the same framework that they teach to members of the BusinessAccelerator coaching program. This is definitely an episode that you don't want to miss!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The three key steps in both identifying and correcting any potential problem in your organization
• The four common mistakes that leaders make when it comes to understanding and stating their vision
• Which step is most often overlooked (and how that can lead to even more problems)
• The importance of looking upstream to determine if the problems you're seeing are the real problem you're having

High achievers have a bad habit of working too much and all of that extra time comes with a very real cost and, unfortunately, sometimes we don't notice that cost until it's too late.

In this episode, Michael has a very honest conversation with Gail, his wife of (almost) 44 years. They discuss the very real cost that the first half of Michael's professional life had on his physical health, his children, and his marriage.

Importantly, they talk about the fateful night when Michael had to reckon with how his choices were impacting the lives of the people he loved the most. The path between that conversation and Full Focus is a straight line.

Gail and Michael offer three truths about work-life balance that can provide you with the starting tools you need to get your personal life pointed in the right direction without sacrificing your professional goals.

In this episode, you will-

• Learn how Gail experienced Michael's very busy professional life
• Hear the steps that Michael took to change the trajectory of his work-life balance
• Discover how work-life balance changes over time (and that's okay!)

As a business owner, you are always the ceiling on how successful your business can be. The only way your business can grow is for you to grow. But, there’s a problem: As your company grows and becomes more successful, you’ll be more insulated from candid feedback. There are more people in the mix and there isn't the direct line of feedback that smaller teams can provide. Also, depending on your leadership and the makeup of your team, some of the people who have crucial feedback to share with you might be reluctant to tell you.

Today, Michael and Megan will share five actions that you can take to get critical feedback through intentional candor meetings.

The intentional candor meetings held at Full Focus are inspired by the work of Kim Scott and her book, Radical Candor: https://www.radicalcandor.com/.
