    GO All IN!

    GO All IN!

    There comes a time for all of us, when we need to make a decision, so we can continue moving down the path. At their core, decisions come down to either gathering / grasping or purging / letting go. Often, we think that the more we gather the better we are. This is true to a point. It seems easier to gather than to let go, this is human nature. We feel the need to accumulate. The truth is that if you are always gathering you are also always carrying all the old things, ideas, and processes. We need not be afraid to put things down whether we come back to them later or not. More often than not, the harder decision is the right one and most the time it is LETTING GO. The nugget you will learn in this episode is that often by letting go of one thing and freeing up a hand, you can grab something better, and go all in! In other words, cut your dead weight and focus on the shit that matters!

    Never Say "Never"…

    Never Say "Never"…

    Look at the things you do now. If you were to make a list of all these things, how many of them would your younger self scoff at? You know all those things we told our parents we would “NEVER DO!” Or how about all the things we said we would let our kids do, and DON’T! It’s ok if you’re reading this and feel a little bad, know that we all do. When we first make a decision, most of the time it is finite and absolute. This is because we are unaware of what we don’t know. We can’t make a different decision without a different perspective. We can only make decisions based upon the information we have at the time. As time goes on, our decisions may change, and this is fine, because our perspective and point of you is always evolving and changing. Embracing these new decisions is what this episode is all about!

    How Can We Multiply Our Time?

    How Can We Multiply Our Time?

    The short answer is systems! Instead of always manning and running our machine (business), we build a mechanism or process that physically replaces us or the need for our input, because of the rules we have set forth, now we have freed the time needed to do that task. Systems are the great multiplier. With a system you can have 2 people yield that same output as 10 if done correctly. Listen to this episode and learn my hacks to spotting where to start systemizing first and getting started in your business today!

    How Can Systems Improve Your Company

    Ep121- S2 Ep67 How Can Systems Improve Your Company
    As artist we often think that our businesses are somehow so very different from other types of businesses. The truth is the biggest difference between the 2 is us. We all think that we are the only ones that can do all these things. We think that we are the only ones that are as creative as we are. We need to stop and look at all the businesses that are super creative. Think about the products that you actually buy; those companies have systems, and they make things! Why can’t we use systems too? The good news is, WE CAN so let’s try! Listen to this episode, you’ll see what I mean!

    The Importance of Finishing!

    The Importance of Finishing!

    If you never finish its never done. How many of us get super amped about new ideas? The big question is, what happened to the last big idea? If your anything like me, you get crazy great ideas all the time! Your unfinished pile is just as crazy as mine! It’s Full of ½ finished GREAT ideas! Now think about if you finished just one of those, and what that could do for you! Look we finish the shit that needs to get done but I’m willing to bet it’s not the stuff that lights you up; that stuff is all in your unfinished pile. Let’s start getting some shit done! I hope this episode gives you what you need to start or keep going!

    You Have to Have Faith!

    You Have to Have Faith!

    Believing in yourself is such an important thing. This is different than having faith in terms of religion. When we are talking about faith here, we are referring to believing in yourself and the things you hold to be true in your life. We need to have faith that the things we are doing will work out in our favor. It’s trusting that the things we are building towards, will see themselves into reality. It’s all about believing in ourselves and continue moving down our path even if we’re the only ones that believe in what we’re doing. The truth is, we do this more than we know. This episode will help you and give you a framework to use this idea as a tool not just as something we do without realizing it but learning how to control it so we can achieve our goals faster.

Helpful!

This podcast addresses just about every issue I’ve encountered running a small jewelry business. It helps listening to Mark talk frankly and offer solutions.

If Gary V was a jeweller

I was excited to listen to a Jewellery podcast but while it is informative on some subjects, the guy is just too much like slick marketing guru’s. Lots of cussing and ranting about business stuff. For jewellers who are more focused on money, marketing, racket etc, this is great. No hate just not what I’m looking for. :)
