In this episode of the Diamond Mining mini series, Blaine asks a valuable question about guarantees in a service industry. Its easy to guarantee a product because you can just refund somebody’s money if they’re not happy. But with some services, like real estate appraisals, an appraiser cant guarantee that everybody in a transaction will be happy and they can’t refund money simply because somebody might not be happy with their appraisal. 

What they CAN do however, is guarantee several aspects of the delivery of their service! Blaine talks about several ways the delivery of a service can be guaranteed in a way that gives the company a competitive advantage in the market. 

In this episode, Blaine answers a very common question his company gets about why to hire a business or personal coach. This is not a sales pitch for The Coaching Academy, but instead an in depth explanation about the real value in hiring a business coach for appraisers, real estate agents, lenders, or really any other professions that wants to accelerate their growth, expedite their profitability, increase their time, be held accountable to their goals, help them develop worthy goals, find their core purpose, and a variety of other benefits gained through the hiring of a good coach.

In this episode, Blaine discusses the all important process of figuring out what drives you to do what you do. It’s a process made popular by author Simon Sinek in his 2009 book, ‘Start With Why’. In it, Sinek outlines a process whereby on digs through their past to ‘unearth’ the main drivers, the main motivators, the main inspirations, and the big turn offs that make us do what we do. Blaine has trained extensively on this process and has taught it to corporations across the globe.

This is a multi part series with this episode being the introduction to the process. Join us!

In this episode of the Diamond Mining mini-episode series, Blaine tells the story of a company named HelloWorld and its CEO, Josh Linkner. The CEO of HelloWorld created a fictional competitor with fake press releases and Wall Street Journal articles to light a fire in the hearts and minds of his employees. Instead of resting on their laurels and accolades as a company in the number 1 spot, they began to ask what their fictional, and real, competitors might be coming up with to stay on the cutting edge and remain the market leader. 

In this episode, Blaine introduces listeners to the infamous ‘Pascal’s Wager’, from the 17th Century mathematician and philosopher, Blaise Pascal. Pascal’s Wager essentially postulates that, even if there is an infinitesimally small chance of something being true, its better to act as if the thing is true since acting as if its NOT true could be very expensive!

Listen in as Blaine shows listeners how the wager is used in the climate change debate, how Warren Buffet has used it, and how it might just apply to your life and your business.
