    Becoming Unstoppable: Taking Stock of Where We Are and Where We Want to Be

    When we come to value principles, we can create unstoppable momentum in our lives. This begins when we accept that we must balance our production with our production capacity, what Stephen Covey calls the P/PC balance and this requires taking stock of where we are in key areas of our life: spiritual, intellectual, financial, relational, vocational, physical. When we determine where we are in these areas and contrast it to where we want to be, it will lead to a clear plan that we can them impl...

    Collaboration is Key to Entrepreneurship and Life

    Entrepreneurship is often seen as a solo endeavor, but true success often hinges on collaboration. In this episode, we explore why teamwork and synergy are essential entrepreneurial skills, challenging the myth of the "lone wolf" entrepreneur. Drawing from Stephen Covey’s sixth habit, we highlight how embracing diversity and leveraging strengths creates innovative solutions far greater than individual efforts.

    Transforming School Culture Through the Entrepreneurial Mindset

    The time to teach the transformative power of the entrepreneurial mindset is now--and the age is as soon as we start learning.

    Pre-Decide to Chase Opportunity

    John Wooden famously said, "When opportunity comes, it's too late." If we're going to be the kind of people who think like entrepreneurs, we have to be ready to seek and chase opportunity when it shows up--that is not the time to plan and prepare. This requires having a readiness mindset, developing our skills, creating systems and habits, and preparing both financially and emotionally. Once this plan is in place, we are ready whenever opportunity shows up.

    Two Steps to Become More Antifragile

    As we explore this idea of antifragility more and more, it becomes apparent that there are key techniques we can implement into our lives that will help us build systems to encourage antifragility (as opposed to fragility).

    Beyond Resilience: Building a Mindset of Antifragility

    We focus a lot, when it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, on resilience and the development of grit. We like to consider ourselves elastic enough that we can "bounce back" from difficulty and return to our normal state. What if, however, there was a way for us to go beyond resilience and build a mindset of antifragility so that the volatility and stress we will inevitably encounter in life leaves us stronger and better as a result?
