As a leader in the workplace, you have to juggle a lot of balls when it comes to running an efficient team. And one of these balls has to do with personal beliefs.

Every single one of us comes to work (and to life) every day with certain ingrained personal beliefs that color our view of the world.  Whether an action is to be considered good or bad. Whether a suggestion is to be accepted or rejected. Whether we will choose to participate in something or stand back.

Beliefs can be tricky things to juggle in the workplace because they're not usually up for negotiation. So how do you successful run a team of employees who don't necessarily believe in the same things and keep the friction and confrontation down to a minimum?

The answer lies in a very important distinction that every successful leader must establish in the workplace:

The distinction between beliefs and values.

Do you know what the difference is and why you should encourage the one over the other in the workplace?

If you've been out of school for a few years—and I imagine you have—you know there's a lot more to life than just grades. As a grown businessman and entrepreneur, what does you life currently revolve around? If you've just said “my business” we need to talk!

There's a lot more to life than business. And the people who succeed in business are the ones who understand this early on and expand their horizons to include a lot more in their lives than just business meeting, production processes, and spreadsheets.

Are you the type of man who's constantly evolving and improving and heading for bigger things? Or has a lack of time and a loss of passion been keeping stopping you from growing? Join me (Robert) on the Rusty Lion podcast today as I discuss these topics with my partner Bill and give you tips and ideas on how to begin evolving your business and your life.

Whether you're currently thinking about starting your business, growing your business, or selling your business, there's one goal you undoubtedly have in mind: To turn it profitable.

Although the shape and size and circumstances of your business may change along the way, your big overarching goal will probably remain the same. But unless you know how to set that goal, visualize it, break it down into parts, and create a roadmap for it? It may always remain an unattainable goal.

I'm proud to say that our guest on the Rusty Lion Academy podcast today is not only a man who has gone through all the stages of business himself—from starting a one-man repair shop with no plan, to turning into a small business, growing that into a large store, and then finally selling the business for a very neat profit—but also a student of ours at the Rusty Lion Academy, and a very dear friend: Scott Fitzgerald.

When Scott first reached out to Bill and me (Robert), he had no idea on how to go about selling his business, or whether indeed he had wanted to do that! Going through our training program and various exercises, however, helped Scott not only get clarity on his life but also set and ATTAIN some major goals in a very short time. He went from announcing the sale of his business and sounding the final documents in six months flat!

In a recent video we did, Robert talked to you about the importance of body language in communications with others. Studies have shown that body language has the greatest impact on how others receive and perceive our message—ever greater than the words we use.

What does your body language say about your leadership to those who follow you? Can you walk the walk or are your words perceived as empty talk? These are questions every great leader must ask and assess in order to achieve world-class status. And in this podcast episode my partner Bill and I (Robert) want to walk you through the most important steps you can take to improve your leadership game.

Given his young age, I'm not sure that today's guest on the podcast qualifies as a “Rusty” Lion. Given his incredible entrepreneurial achievements and amassed wisdom, however, Wade Danielson has much to teach us all about entrepreneurship, ambition, and accomplishments in life.

A family man with two young children. An ambitious entrepreneur with a strong vision for his future. The insightful podcast host of Entrepreneur's Library who's made it his mission to enrich the lives and minds of thousands of other entrepreneurs out there. These are just some of the basic ways I could use to introduce you to Wade. But in fact his depth of character reaches far beyond these mere facts.

Join me (Robert) as I talk to Wade about his early success in life and how he achieved it, the failures and obstacles that helped him get to where he is today, and perhaps most importantly, his winning mindset.

Tune into the episode now to hear Wade talk about:

-        How we went from HATING to read to starting the Entrepreneur's Library.

-        How he used to sneak motivational business books into his college classes, and why he found reading them so valuable and edifying.

-        The quick simple read he recommends to get YOU started on your entrepreneurial success.

-        The books that most affected his mindset and success at the early stages of his career (as well as the book he didn't understand at first, but now considers to be GOLD).

-        How his wife has been his greatest inspiration for starting his own company at the young age of 26—even though she wasn't fully on board with the idea of starting out so early.

-        How letting go of the success principles his dad had instilled in him led to his greatest failure during his college years.  

-        What the REGRET from that failure taught him about life and how it has helped him become a man of action. 

-        His motivational motto for entrepreneurs that will help you build a WINNING mindset.

-        Why NOT starting a company is a far bigger risk than leaving your seemingly stable job. (If you've been waffling on taking the leap into entrepreneurship, this might just be what you need to hear!)

-        The three components and one mental shift he considers CRUCIAL for building an extraordinary life.

Did you ever exchange harsh words with someone at work or on the street? Or have you ever gotten into a screaming match at school when you were a hot-headed young man? Even worse, have you ever in your life had an exchange of bad words and tempers escalate into punching brawl?

I bet we all have.

And that’s why it’s time to start practicing the big F word:

FORGIVENESS.

We all have bad days that we’re not proud of. That’s life. But that doesn’t also mean we have to erupt like smoking volcanoes at every little misstep or offence, regardless of whose fault it is.

Great leaders are men of high Emotional Quota (EQ) who know how to manage emotions (both their own and those of others), in order to keep a situation under control and as positive as possible.

In today’s episode of the Rusty Lion podcast my good friend and partner Bill Watkins joins me (Robert) in a conversation about the importance of forgiveness in the development of great leaders.
