Imagine if you followed through on every good intention.

Wouldn’t life be incredible? We’d all be Calvin Klein model billionaires. We’d be the most dutiful, giving partners to our spouses. We’d eat more greens. We’d probably meditate, daily. Life would be amazing.

The human condition makes this impossible. We don’t do the things we want to do, because we’re conflicted. We also want to eat hotdogs, vegetate in front of TV and avoid working on that scary big business project. Despite our best intentions to the contrary.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions”, the saying goes. Successful entrepreneurs are different – they transform their good intentions into real world actions. Wannapreneurs dream big without follow-through.

Become someone who transmutes intention into action. Continue reading “The road to business hell: Why your good intentions don’t get you anywhere”

You just can’t commit. Am I right, guys?

“…But baby, I just want to be able to do whatever I want.”

Entrepreneurs and leather clad, Harley riding badasses have more in common than they realize.

Like that tattoo covered bad boy, the entrepreneur won’t commit. The desire for freedom pushes you towards an unstructured, carefree lifestyle… even though you know you need to eventually lock down and commit.  Continue reading “Why Commitment Phobia is killing your business growth”

Uh oh. Another obligatory holiday post. Or is it?

As resident Shrink for Entrepreneurs, I’m here to serve up some piping hot insight on how to thrive during this chaotic time of year… while still finding time to do what’s important: Be with loved ones.

No matter your industry, the holidays mess it up. If you’re rocking a business-to-consumer business model, you probably have sales and pre-christmas insanity on your hands. If you run a business-to-business operation, all your sales leads are about to go as cold as ice. No one’s staff are going to have their head in the game and those christmas parties will take their toll on everyone.

I’m announcing something totally new and badass, that’ll give you the crash course you need to make this your best season yet.  Continue reading “How to grow your business despite the holidays”

The secret sauce to next level business success is productivity.

Let’s be honest. You started your business so that you didn’t have to sit in an office analyzing spreadsheets. You signed up for being a “highly effective” person.
