(Part 2 of 2) A 7 figure business owner shared recently that: Being a leader in their business is the hardest thing they have ever done. I agree!
Here is why? When you are a leader your character shows. And as you are more successful it shows more! When your character shows… let’s pray it is good character and not ugly character.
Leadership is not ego based or a power trip. It is not about people doing whatever you tell them to do. That is being a jerk.
Leadership and running a profitable business is not about chasing money. It is being in service to your team. It is clearing the obstacles out of the way for your team members. This may be a different way to look at things.
Tom shares and expands on the final 6 leadership qualities from Napoleon Hill’s famous book “Think And Grow Rich”.

How to be more profitable with your business: Stop running it like a charity. But that is not the only part of the story. Tom Birchall shares insights on the two truely important bottom lines.
So Yeah. Please stop making this mistake: Chasing only 1 bottom line.
I find many entrepreneurs get in the same broke situation for opposite reasons.
Do you value meaning and a “cause” in your business so much so that you end up basically running a charity in your business? Stop that! You value meaning, cause, and kindness, and are noble and uncompromising in your quest for your business so much that you are not making money and are broke.
On the opposite side of the coin, are you chasing money and transaction oriented? So much so that you repel and turn off potential clients? If you are this person you also end up broke. Same advice: Stop it!
