Keep Pulling The String

I want to tell you a little story from my past that, I hope, will convince you of the importance of going down the paths life presents you ESPECIALLY when you think they may lead to nowhere. Lots of people talk about missed opportunities. Looking back, they usually were missed because we decide upfront where that opportunity will lead even though we have absolutely NO idea. In the words of English actor Jim Broadbent, “We’ve all got a little black book of missed opportunities.”

The High Value Of Faster Answers

You know the information you need to deliver great work for your clients. I am willing to bet, with some effort, you could figure out ways to get the results much faster than you do today.Nobody wants to spend years in therapy, they just think that is the only way it works. So it stays the same until someone decides to change their expectations.So, for the people you sell to, what are THEIR expectations (In time and money) for getting the results they truly want? How could you give them those answers in half of the time and turn that into your competitive advantage?

Doing Harm To Your Business On Purpose

How does one make a decision that they know will hurt their business in the short term without 100% (or even 80%) certainty that it will help them in the long term? You know what you have, even if it is not making you happy or as successful as you want, so how you do make the leap of faith to damage your business in order to make it better? Maybe you have clients that cost you more than you earn from them. Maybe the market is shifting under your feet and you need to make a big investment to change how you do business. Maybe you need to make some key new hires to allow you to handle larger clients long before the revenue from those larger clients comes in. How many of these decisions are you putting off?How long have you been struggling with a status quo that has lost its status? How bad does the pain have to be in your business before you make these hard decisions?

Nobody Cares About Your "Why."

With my apologies to Simon Sinek, NOBODY really cares about your “why.” They want you to care about THEIRS. Almost every business owner I talk to these days has figured out their “why” (And cannot WAIT to tell me all about it). The problem is that stating and broadcasting their why has not helped their ability to clearly articulate why someone should actually buy their product or service. Even worse, knowing their why has not helped them win new clients. The reason is quite simple.... Nobody cares about your why. They care about theirs.

Go Slow To Go Fast.

Go slow to go fast. Stop with the hustle and grind b******t, slow down and spend the time on the things that will allow you to finally create a foundation to support a future of incredible speed and capacity in your business. Go slow to go fast. Who are you racing against? Do they matter (If you read my book then you know how I feel about chasing your competitors)? Go slow to go fast. When you make business decisions quickly… they are usually made from a place of emotion instead of allowing the time to be more logical, strategic and thoughtful about the longer term implications of your choices. Go slow to go fast.

I Quit. You Need To Go.

People leaving your company, because they quit or you let them go, is the least discussed and most disruptive aspect of business ownership. SOOOO, let’s discuss it! Regardless of the scenario, replacing someone eats up an enormous amount of time and energy. If you are not involved in the hiring, it will eat up a lot of time and energy for the member of your team that has to find someone great. How can it be improved? I do not have all the answers but, on this episode of the podcast, allow me to share 5 lessons I have learned over the past 30 years of running businesses and helping others run theirs a bit better.

Your 36-Month Year

Right now, you are thinking about the end of your month, your quarter or your year. You are likely in a mad dash to make or break your numbers from this same time last year and your targets for the full year. You push on the members of your team, you push on your clients, you pressure your prospects and you make deals to attain a “score” you set in January. This is how it goes every year, over and over. Sprint after sprint. Quarter to quarter and then year after year while never feeling like you can do the things that would create the size and scale of the business you truly want. All because of a calendar construct you did not create.
