If you haven't yet heard the term "Quiet quitting" -- you're not alone.

What's covered in this episode:
When it comes to managing the things that are out of our control i.e. economic cycles that rear their heads every few years...
These are the times when it's critical to double down on making your business systems bulletproof. As we've discussed in previous episodes, it's the companies that are unable to react quickly, and it's the companies without a firm grip on their processes and performance controls, that often get taken out first due to their bottom line and cash reserves being unable to sustain the swing.
In this episode, I wanted to share the 4 critical systems required to help ensure you and your teams stay laser focused in the right areas throughout any type of economic cycle.
Hope this helps, and as always, here's to your success and freedom!

What if you had the ability to make solving problems within your company addictive? Imagine coming back from a vacation to find 10, 20 or even 30 small problems had been not only identified...but actually fixed by your team?
That is the power of creating a culture of "continuous improvement".
And here's where it really pays off...
As your business grows, in time it will become next to impossible to stay on top of every small detail across all of your major functions. The jobs that you used to do in the past have since changed and evolved...and in many ways you're now out of touch with how things are done. So here's the challenge..
What happens when things break or you have problems that need to be fixed? How can you be sure they're being addressed, and not just swept under the rug?
In this training I want to talk about a simple, but powerful strategy to create a continuous improvement flywheel within your company.

It's a well-known fact that employee turnover is expensive.
But just how much does it cost?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average price tag for replacing an employee stands at about $30,000.
That includes everything from advertising costs and application fees to training and severance payouts.
In some industries, like healthcare or hospitality, this number can skyrocket as high as $100,000 per person!
Despite these staggering statistics, many business owners still don't focus on developing a strategy for retaining employees before they've even hired them in the first place.
In this episode I wanted to share the secret strategy that's helped my and hundreds of other business owners next to eliminate employee turnover.

One of the biggest struggles most leaders have to deal with is in getting performance out of their teams. Earlier on in my career I used to think that if someone wasn't performing up to par, it was their fault.
As I began studying and learning about the power of systems, I discovered that I had been wrong all along. The truth is, we're ALL a product of our environment. Meaning that if you put an A player in a poor environment, you're gonna get poor performance.
In this episode I wanted to discuss 4 strategies that I use to help create that winning environment, enabling my teams to tap into their true potential.

In this episode I’m sharing my strategy for coping with all of the noise and complexity that comes with running and growing your business.
I used to struggle with delegating...largely because I found it hard to give proper context and guidelines to whoever it was I was working with...which meant lots of back and forth, often taking more time than if I had just done it myself in the first place.

In this episode I’m sharing one of my favorite tricks that you can use to help transform the things you’ve been putting off into a powerful action plan for achieving some quick momentum and small wins.
Don't get me wrong, having goals is important. But this is where most people stop. I learned long ago after years of frustration and disappointment to fall in love with the system rather than the goal..
What does that mean?
Well, if you think about it...a goal is really just a future destination. And if it's an audacious one, it'll require a lot of consistent, daily commitment. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. Which is a perfect example. Running a marathon is a great goal.
I decided to sign up for the 13 hour Ironman Triathlon in France back in 2012. And the only reason I had a hope in heck of achieving it - was by falling in love with the process towards making it happen. Putting in the work, every day became a ritualized routine which ultimately lead to the goal being achieved.

I'll admit it, I used to suck at delegating. Every single time I'd try to let something go, just like a boomerang it would come right back and land on my desk. After awhile I began to think that this was my fate...I would forever by the only person who could make things happen in our business.
In 2012 I learned a new method that unlocked a whole new world for me. Not only was I finally able to let go - but I saw my schedule start to clear up as well. If you've ever experienced a similar feeling, it's kinda like discovering a super power...essentially, the ability to clone yourself.

One of the most stressful things about running a business is dealing with uncertainty.
Especially when it comes to not knowing where your next sale will come from.
In this episode I talk about how to overcome the uncertainty of sales by reverse engineering the process.
So often what holds us back in our life and business are beliefs that serve us where we’re at in order to justify where we’re at. One such belief that I myself fell victim to early on in my career was that “it’s impossible to find good, reliable, hard working people”. In this episode I’m going to share why I think that belief is false and uncover the real reason why so many of us struggle with finding good people and empowering our teams.
One thing a lot of entrepreneurs have in common is their inability to enjoy Sundays. For so many of us, it brings a mountain of emotions around everything waiting for us back at the office on Monday.

Building any business is HARD
For most business owners, it's not uncommon for them to have to wear multiple hats day in and day out to keep things moving along...
The problem with this is that eventually, you begin to hit a ceiling of diminishing returns - where spending more time, actually starts to hurt your growth.
Enter the need for building a "self-managed" business...which is just a fancy way for saying that your business can function without relying on you day in and day out.
After spending the past 12+ years building and growing "self-managed" teams and business - I began noticing a pattern at play..
It looked like the above formula, and the easiest way to describe it is by using the "viking ship" analogy...
When you can say that you have the right people in the right seats, doing the right things at the right time..WITHOUT needing you there to push the flywheel..
...THAT'S when you can say you've got a "Self-managed" business, and can then start to push the pedal to the metal.
