    Rewind: Business Growth Means Finding The Right People, with Leslie Fall

    Rewind: Business Growth Means Finding The Right People, with Leslie Fall

    In one of our favorite episodes, entrepreneur Leslie Fall shares how a team member who helped get her to a certain level of success was no longer helping the company grow. Leslie explains how, by employing the concept of “multiplication by subtraction,” she overcame the problem to great benefit, plus other gains she’s made since taking advantage of business coaching through Strategic Coach. Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:* What Leslie gets out of being in a community of like-minded entrepreneurs.* The changes a colleague has noticed in Leslie since she joined Strategic Coach.* How Leslie introduces Strategic Coach thinking tools to her colleagues.* How her team now gets four months’ worth of work done in under a week. Show Notes: Sometimes, you have to let go of what your job typically is in order to let team members grow. For reasons of fit or reasons of competence, a team member can hold you back. It can take a fresh perspective to notice inefficiencies in your process. It’s exciting to see where people will go once their time has been freed up. When people have the time and mental energy, they’ll be more alert, curious, responsive, and resourceful. Team members who are freed up have time to think about other opportunities for revenue. You're probably only relying on your team 50% of what you could be. The minute you think of a new idea, think about who can help you with it. Resources: Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy Unique Ability® Multiplication By Subtraction by Shannon Waller Free Days™ – The Entrepreneur’s Guide To Time Management (https://resources.strategiccoach.com/guides/the-entrepreneurs-guide-to-time-management)

    Finding A Cure For The Isolation Of Being An Entrepreneur, With Chase Dansie

    Finding A Cure For The Isolation Of Being An Entrepreneur, With Chase Dansie

    A few years ago, Chase Dansie found himself limited by Lyme disease. Now, he’s grateful for the experience. In this episode, Chase talks about how Strategic Coach® helped him through a very hard time and how he’s using his orthodontist practice to improve people’s lives.Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:* What allowed Chase to finally join The Strategic Coach® Program.* How Chase learned that you can take something horrible and turn it into something useful.* The signs of Lyme disease and the importance of getting the right diagnosis and treatment.* Some of the positive by-products that came out of Chase having Lyme disease.* What gets Chase up and going in the morning.Show Notes:An entrepreneur going about things alone develops all sorts of bad habits. The biggest problem for entrepreneurs is being alone and having no one to talk to about both your challenges and your successes. None of us celebrate our progress enough. The Strategic Coach Program isn’t centred on the business. It’s focused on you as a person. When something comes up and you don’t know what to do, Strategic Coach has processes you can follow that will help you get solutions. You can interpret your past experiences however you want to. You feel more normal when you’re in a community of people with similar challenges and obstacles to yours. If you’re experiencing a health challenge, it’s comforting to know you’re not the only one. Strategic Coach clients have a kind of shared language. Surrounding yourself with people, and having connections with others, can help you pull through some very difficult times. When you’re aware of the challenges someone is having, it lets you have compassion for them like you never would have before.Resources:How To Measure Success In Business Effectively With A Proven System - The Gap And The Gain (https://resources.strategiccoach.com/the-multiplier-mindset-blog/how-to-measure-success-in-business-effectively-with-a-proven-system-the-gap-and-the-gain) Wanting What You Want by Dan Sullivan Unique Ability (https://uniqueability.com/) 

    You Don't Need Permission To Be An Entrepreneur, with Peter Denbigh

    You Don't Need Permission To Be An Entrepreneur, with Peter Denbigh

    Peter Denbigh grew up in what he describes as “the middle of nowhere,” Virginia. He wanted more, and as soon as he was old enough, he used his entrepreneurial mindset to start earning money. In this episode, Peter shares the many business lessons he’s learned from growing his own companies.Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:* How Peter learned to think long term.* The tech company he founded while he was a university student.* How Peter recovered from a dark time in his career.* How he created one of the best-selling games of 2016.* What The Strategic Coach® Program has given him.Show Notes: The Strategic Coach Program was designed for entrepreneurs who are active and “all over the place.” It’s a tremendous strength to realize that being an entrepreneur is a life sentence. Luck is involved in entrepreneurial success, but the entrepreneur needs the capability of taking advantage of luck. The more value they provide, and the faster they can provide it, the more an entrepreneur gets paid for their time. When you’re a little bored and you have your eyes open, interesting opportunities come your way. Kickstarter lets you test a product and validate it, and if it works, you get money. An idea is worthless without persistent and productive execution. You don’t need permission to say, “This is how I’m going to be in the world.” The ride is what teaches you to hang on. Some people are born with the permission to be themselves, but a lot of people aren’t. If it doesn’t excite you, it isn’t worth doing.Resources:The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyWho Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyHow to Expand Your Team's Unique Ability®  (https://resources.strategiccoach.com/the-multiplier-mindset-blog/how-to-expand-your-team-s-unique-ability)

    From Trauma To Triumph: One Entrepreneur’s Unbelievable Journey, With Darcy Luoma

    From Trauma To Triumph: One Entrepreneur’s Unbelievable Journey, With Darcy Luoma

    Dan Sullivan and guest Darcy Luoma dive into an extraordinary and unbelievable journey of resilience, reinvention, and triumph in the face of an unprecedented personal challenge. Darcy’s unwavering spirit and strategic approach are a true inspiration for all entrepreneurs navigating their own obstacles.Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:* The initial obstacles Darcy faced when becoming an entrepreneur, and how she overcame them.* The traumatic experience Darcy had to work through while figuring out how to continue to run her business.* Why Darcy was in a position to test drive her own concepts in the most extreme way.* How Darcy prepared for business success before launching her business.* The big risk Darcy took at a critical time, and how it paid off.* What Darcy gets out of Strategic Coach.Show Notes: Running for elected office is a purely entrepreneurial activity. We’re not in control of what happens in the world, but we’re in control of our responses to what happens. Entrepreneurs transform situations from huge negatives to breakthrough positives. Strategic Coach is a thinking tool culture. If you have an anchor client, then you don’t have to fear that you need to say yes to everything. The entire business of an entrepreneur can be based on the entrepreneur’s reputation. Good people do bad things, and it doesn’t mean they’re bad people. If you want to handle your challenges thoughtfully, and you want to have strong relationships, you need to train and practice to be thoughtfully fit. Having an entrepreneurial business means you get to test things.Resources:The Strategy Circle® The R-Factor Question®10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin HardyThe Impact Filter™Unique Ability®

    Follow Your Business Motivation To Empower Your Work And Ignite Your Life, with Susan Latremoille

    Follow Your Business Motivation To Empower Your Work And Ignite Your Life, with Susan Latremoille

    Years ago, Susan Latremoille thought to combine the benefits of working for a large organization with the freedom of doing her own thing. Now, she runs a wealth management advising company with her partner. In this episode, Susan shares how she became an entrepreneur, how she realized she was an entrepreneur, and what’s helped her find both business success and balance in her life.Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:* How Susan’s company is on the ground floor of a new industry, retirement lifestyle planning.* What gave Susan her first insight into entrepreneurism.* Why Susan likes to push people beyond their comfort level.* How The Strategic Coach® Program has been fundamental to Susan’s success in business and life.* How Next Chapter Lifestyle Advisors are helping financial advisors provide value to clients.* Why hiring team members is an investment.Show Notes:Retirement works better if you have a plan.A lot of things that are happening in the world of technology are automating the role of a financial advisor.Being a financial advisor is extremely entrepreneurial because you don’t get handed clients.Very few clients want to know the ins and outs of how markets work.Instead of competing, you can turn your competitors into your clients.The role of a good financial advisor is to understand the clients’ needs and bring them information in a way that’s meaningful and helpful to them.Financial advisors aren’t typically trained in the softer, more human elements of their roles.You have to understand the life of the client before you can do a meaningful financial plan for them.Financial products more or less sell themselves because they are driven by the financial plan. Resources:The RichLife: Managing Wealth and Purpose by Susan Latremoille 9 Steps to a RichLife Retirement by Susan LatremoilleDeep D.O.S.
