12:21

In this week’s episode, we talk about a familiar expression that founders and leaders of businesses often face. “It’s lonely at the top”.

In this week’s episode, I want to share a hard lesson from my time leading a team of 30 people distributed across four time zones.

In this week’s podcast episode, we dig into two essential leadership decisions in business, creating a compelling why and a clear what to build a team you love.

Hiring is a business cost that I can't afford right now. In this week’s episode , we get to the problem faced the most by solopreneurs building their very first team, the cost.

12:25

In this episode we do a deep dive on this question: What does it cost to do everything yourself?

3+ y ago15:52

15:52

In the Indian fable about the blind men who each touched a different part of the element, we aren’t surprised to see that an argument breaks out. Each man trusted his own perception to guide him. Until someone with sight coached them on their error, they made assumptions about the whole. Within an organization, leaders can easily find themselves in…

The impact of the pandemic over this past year has hit everyone.

Comic strips and funny stories abound with humorous anecdotes about clogged sinks and how homeowners make things worse before calling in a professional to fix the problem.

The 1980s were filled with money-hungry firms who were getting rich at all costs. As my podcast guest, Craig Wood, mentions in our interview, that was reflected in the entertainment of the time.

Did you start your business to keep track of the bookkeeping? Or to become a marketing expert? Or write all the copy? Or maybe you looked forward to taking care of the mail and holding meetings?

From movies to concerts or sports - everywhere you look in the field of entertainment, you see how specialists come together to create a whole that’s better than its parts. Those specialists aren’t order-takers. They’re captains of their own work...even when that work is part of someone else’s whole. When leaders forget that, chaos ensues. This wee…

You can find all kinds of leadership quotes that talk about being a captain.

3+ y ago15:38

15:38

Business owners don’t start a business because they love running a business; they start a business because they love providing a specific product or service and want the freedom that comes with being their own boss. All too quickly, the demands of running a business overwhelm the joy of providing the product or service. This is where many business …

For some the college experience is filled with parties and fun while for others it’s a grind of school work and studying.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. --Hans Hofman. In our noisy world, it’s all too easy to allow the unnecessary to gain control of our businesses and of our lives. But a big part of leadership is being self-aware and that awareness can help you see what is necessary. We believe that one thin…

A false choice can be defined as something that you have to pick between...something that looks like an either/or situation when, in reality, it’s a both/and opportunity instead. Growing a business has a multitude of moments like that. You find yourself facing a choice and only see 2 options but, often, it isn’t just 2 options...there’s more choice…

The year of 2020 was supposed to be one of perfect vision and clarity. But we ended up with “pandemic,” “unprecedented,” and new phrases like “social distancing” and “Don’t forget your mask.” Twenty years ago, no one could have predicted that 2020 would end this way. But I wasn’t even focused that far into the future. I was too busy founding and bu…
