I have some questions for you:
Do you consider yourself to be an expert? If so, how did you become an expert? How long did it take you and what did it cost you? Not just in actual dollars, but how much did it cost you in time and effort on your way to becoming an expert? How would you define...
Results! That’s the standard the world uses to judge almost everything. In business, especially, the only thing that really matters is how much money ends up in the coffers after all the bills are paid. Of course, you and I know that's not ALL that matters, but the results of our...
Say the word ‘success’, and what comes to your mind? We all have our own ideas about and definitions of success. Yes, there is a definition in the dictionary (the accomplishment of an aim or a principle), but we all think slightly differently about the word success and it is...
If I told you that you every business only has four things that need to be focused on for it to be successful, I’m assuming every reasonable person would want to know what those four things are. We’ve talked many times on this show about all four of these things in great detail and...
If someone had told me 20 years ago to start branding myself and that the payoff would be exponentially greater than any branding I might do for my business, I’m not sure I would’ve bought in. However, 20 years later, not only do I get it completely, I’m all in and hoping I...
As you all know by now, this show is all about value. It's in the name, it's what the content is all about, it's mentioned in every single episode, and it's one of the most consistent theme words in my own life. At the end of every year, I contemplate on the prior year's successes and failures,...
Here we are again my friends, the end of another rotation around the sun. That time of year when we get to spend some quality time with family and friends, reflect on the prior year, and imagine what the year ahead might have in store.
From a business perspective, it’s the time of...
If you are one of the early listeners of this show, you’ll remember an episode format we used to do called ‘questions from the listeners’, or ‘letters from the mailbag’ where I would simply answer questions sent to me via email or Facebook. Sometimes I would take a...
What does it mean to have influence? Maybe a better question, what does it mean to be a person of influence? The definition of influence includes the word ‘power’, as in the power to affect something, the power to sway based on prestige, ability, position, notoriety, or message. We...
If you’ve been listening to this show for any period of time, you know that I love questions. I love questions because, without them and without good ones, you don’t get answers to things. Everything we do, everything we create, everything we get paid for starts with a question or a...
In April 1928 a journal called “The Forum” published an interview with the famed automaker, Henry Ford, who was talking about the very apparent increase in the complexity and rapidity of life at that time. What he said in that interview has since become an oft used quote, although...
