Say Yes and Then Figure It Out 10:29

6h ago10:29

10:29

Sometimes you just have to say yes and then figure it out after. When it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, we have to be willing to take certain acts of faith and embrace a certain degree of risk that says "we may not have it all figured out and we may not have a fully developed plan but we are going to say yes and move forward anyway."…

Moving from Having to Becoming 8:37

1h ago8:37

8:37

A focus on "having" leads to discontent: we focus on the destination and what we "don't have yet" which puts us in a situation to never be satisfied. If, however, we focus on "becoming" then we are looking at the journey and the value we are creating along the way. This is key to the entrepreneurial mindset. Let's Go!…

25d ago9:45

9:45

All kids should have the opportunity to be entrepreneurs--and it is our job as adults to encourage them and buy from them. Pure and simple. Remember the lemonade stands from back in the day?

1M ago10:41

10:41

We can talk all day long, day after day, about the power of the entrepreneurial mindset, but until we commit to making serious and lasting change, it is all just talk. Time to take ACTION- time to get starting with real change to create the ideal life in order to become the person that we want. We can make the choice today to become better, but it …

What if I fall? Oh, but what if you fly? 10:11

1M ago10:11

10:11

We cannot fully live out the entrepreneurial mindset until we are willing to truly redefine failure--true failure is not trying in the first place. If we allow ourselves to become paralyzed by the fear of not succeeding, we will not only miss out on opportunity but we will leave ourselves at risk of living a life of regret on what "might have been.…

Your Goal is Not Just for You 9:31

2M ago9:31

9:31

When we choose a goal, we are looking for something that will stretch us and cause us to move beyond that which we thought possible. This is especially true if the goal is for a team or even a family. When we can come together and rally around the completion of this goal, it creates a powerful bond that best represents the power of the entrepreneur…

Break the Circle of Incapacity 8:20

2M ago8:20

8:20

I had the unique privilege of sitting down with three time cancer survivor Johnathan Sams who, just after finishing chemotherapy treatment, walked an entire marathon (all 26.2 miles) through the halls of the hospital. Johnathan's take on life is that every day is awesome and it is up to us to live up to it--and to do this, we have to break out of t…

From "If Only" to Superpower 9:13

2M ago9:13

9:13

We all have "if onlys" in our life--if only we had more money, if only we had more time, if only we didn't have so many people relying on us, if only we had more opportunity...often these "if onlys" are excuses that weigh us down and cause us to accept mediocrity. But no more--now we can use them as the superpowers they are to help us find creativi…

Are You Biased for Action? 9:16

3M ago9:16

9:16

Entrepreneurs are biased for action and when in doubt, they act. This attribute is central to seeking opportunity--we have to overcome the paralysis of analysis and get up and seize the opportunities that are all around us. That's what Marcus and Nate did in order to successfully launch their business--these two high school students got up and figu…

Why Having a Dashboard is a Gamechanger 10:17

3M ago10:17

10:17

We have a dashboard in our car that tells us our speed, our oil status, the car's temperature, and other key metrics--at a single glance, we know the state of things. Imagine the power of applying this concept to other areas of our life, primarily our goals. Having a dashboard tells us where we are, without sugarcoating, so we know how far we have …

Ever get in trouble in elementary school for selling something out of your locker to your classmates? Ever end up being chastised for not doing things in the right order or thinking outside the box?

If You Want New Ideas, Read Old Books 10:20

3M ago10:20

10:20

Ivan Pavlov's famous quote, "If you want new ideas, read old books" is truer today than ever before--we have a treasure trove of advice available to us in the pages of the past. Such is the case with Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman in the World where we are exhorted to "persist until we succeed" and "avoid with fury the killers of time." These p…

Seeking Meaning over Quiet Desperation 9:15

4M ago9:15

9:15

Look, it's both simple and profound: we have to start by knowing where we are going. We don't get into a car and drive aimlessly around; we have a destination in mind. Yet often we go through our lives with purposeless movement. It's time to connect our movement to a vision so that our time is invested. Let's Go!…

It's Okay To Fear Failure As Long As You Redefine It First 13:12

6M ago13:12

13:12

It’s trendy in educational circles to talk about “embracing the learning experience of failure” or “teaching students to not fear failure,” but at the end of the day, it’s the same old story: we’re afraid. When we do a cost-benefit analysis, we tend to overload the cost side and assume it is not worth the risk. When we consider our shareholders, ou…

The Principle of Direction 11:02

6M ago11:02

11:02

The entrepreneurial mindset is a mindset based on principles and principles are truths that directly impact our lives. Principles are at work regardless whether or not we acknowledge them, but when we do acknowledge them, we can make them work for us rather than against us. The principle I focus on in this podcast is the principle that we go in the…

Seek Directional Growth in Your Life 12:17

6M ago12:17

12:17

Teaching the growth mindset is foundational to teaching entrepreneurship and I can think of no better place to teach this than in a space dedicated to real-time displays of flourishing growth. But the space also illustrates a key point about growth—if not directed, growth can get out of control. Consider the tomato plant. In the greenhouse, we grow…

We need to Be Interesting and Be Interested 11:42

7M ago11:42

11:42

When I talk to business owners regarding their pain points, the conversation often trails toward the hiring process. “We can’t find good people,” they say before bemoaning all the problems with “this generation.” As someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, this problem is an opportunity. The opportunity lies in what we can teach our students to hel…

Invest in Your Rock Stars 8:51

7M ago8:51

8:51

We’re all guilty of it—we don’t spend enough quality time with our rock stars. Don’t get me wrong, we certainly know who our rock stars are, but because they are the ones who've got it together, who deliver consistently, and who don't cause us problems, we often let them do their thing so we can focus on putting out the fires. And this can be a det…

I can KNOW everything in the world about leadership and organization and team collaboration, but without someone in my corner challenging and pushing me, my growth will be stunted.

Let's Increase Engagement with the Entrepreneurial Mindset 11:50

8M ago11:50

11:50

Feeling disengaged? Have students, parents, or teachers that would classify as disengaged? They're in the majority--67% of US employees report feeling disengaged from their work.

Establishing Rocks to Achieve Your Goals 10:14

8M ago10:14

10:14

What do rocks have to do with goal setting? Everything, it turns out. Going back to Stephen Covey's famous "put first things first" habit, rocks became synonymous with the big, important things in life that often get set aside for the less important "whirlwind" of the everyday. Gino Wickman in the book, Traction, explains how setting rocks, or quar…

Achieving Sanity Through Prioritizing Our Email Inbox 11:20

8M ago11:20

11:20

Let's work "on" instead of "in" our email. Some time management professionals will tell you to ignore email as much as possible or only look at it once a day. Often this results, however, in missing an important or urgent issue that needs to be addressed. My preferred method harkens back to Stephen Covey. He shares the power of the Eisenhower Matri…

Teaching Grit Through Setting Goals 10:04

9M ago10:04

We all innately understand the value of becoming grittier but often we fall into the trap of assuming grit is an innate, fixed trait.

Planning for Personal Growth 12:29

We hear a lot these days about personal growth but if we don't have a plan for our growth, our growth will be undirected and haphazard. Having a plan means looking at all key aspects of our life--intellectual, relational, spiritual, physical, financial, and vocational--and setting key goals for our growth in those areas. This is about achieving bal…

So we have a mission, a vision, and core values for our organization (be it a business, church, or school). Before we congratulate ourselves, however, let's ask how deeply it has infiltrated each and everything we do. Does everyone know the mission, vision, and values? Does everyone live it out? When we have clarity around this and when we hold eac…

Why Student Engagement Matters 9:35

Our students are bored--they are disengaged, listless, and disruptive in the classroom. And the issue is us as educators.
