Vulnerability is a Leader’s Greatest Strength
For business owners and leaders, being vulnerable is often seen as a weakness. Building a business leader is a tough job and it’s natural to want to appear confident and in control, even when we aren’t. However, the leaders who are prepared to showcase their vulnerability are more effective than those who don’t. Being Vulnerable is Tough for Leaders We’re all human and no one is perfect, yet as leaders, entrepreneurs, or business owners, we all try to be. That’s why most of us have a hard time admitting to our mistakes or seeking help. You aren’t always going to have the right answer to every problem and sometimes, things might not go the way you planned. And that’s okay! The best leaders are the ones who have the courage to admit that: I was wrong about something. I don’t know the answer. I need help from someone else. As
How to Prep and Crush Your 2021 Goals
The new year is officially here! You and your team have hopefully had the chance to refocus and recharge and you’re ready to start tackling the new goals you’ve set. But how are you going to do that? How are you going to stay accountable in making sure you achieve them? This is the biggest problem I see with businesses when it comes to annual planning and goal setting. Teams sit down, set goals, but then the traction that they gained fizzles out because no one was held responsible for achieving them. Then they repeat the process, year after year, stifling progress and never seeing the results they are waiting for. The Entrepreneurial Operating System provides a way for organizations to instill focus, discipline, and accountability throughout their entire team so that everyone is working to achieve their goals every single day. Looking to crush your 2021 goals this year?
Live Your EOS Life This Holiday Season
As an entrepreneur, I know how challenging it can be to juggle running a business and enjoying the holidays. Stepping away from your business for days at a time can seem completely impossible, and even if you think you did take a break, chances are you spent more time than you thought checking your email or thinking about projects. That’s because as business leaders, we all have the drive to succeed, and at times, this can have a negative impact on our work/life balance. For many of my clients, that work/life balance is one of the main things we work on together because the Entrepreneurial Operating System is designed to help you take back control of your business so that you can focus on what really matters. Here is my advice on how you can minimize your stress, enjoy the holidays, and set yourself up for success in the new
Are You Setting Your Team Up For Success?
People are the foundation of every great business. For companies to achieve their vision and succeed, they need a team of truly great people, from top to bottom, working together to solve issues and make progress. Most business leaders know this, however, 83% of business owners say that people issues were their #1 frustration in their business before they started implementing EOS. Recently, I was humbled to be a part of a workshop led by Beth Fahey, certified EOS Implementer and Speaker, and René Boer, co-author of EOS book, How to Be a Great Boss. As we talked through the qualities of what makes a great boss, René reminded us to “put a hand to heart” and look in the mirror. As the leader, are you doing everything you can and should be doing to help your people be the best they can be? Sometimes—actually, most of the time— the
There is Never A Good Time to Make Big Changes
Change. I get it, as a fellow business owner, there are 136 issues threatening to take over my days. It can feel like there is never enough time to get the little things done. So, how would there be time to fit in a big change for your business? Making changes can be hard. However, change is necessary for any healthy business to grow. Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone, and if you continue to wait, and let the fear hold you back from making the best decisions for your business, you will never see the results you want. Don’t Wait to Make Changes For example, one of my clients had been self-implementing EOS for 9 years with little results before he took the leap and reached out to me to be their EOS Implementer. After just 1 session with me, he told me—he was definitely not
