As we all get older and progress further in our business or careers, it's inevitable that our schedules get packed with more meetings, more family responsibilities, more social obligations—the list goes on. We're constantly telling each other how busy we are, how there's not enough hours in the day, and telling our kids to "enjoy the freedom while you can". I remember my dad telling me enjoy school it will be the best years of your life!

Today’s episode we will dive into what is the difference between being courageous and comfortable. I have a quote on my mirror that says if you are not doing something everyday that scares you then you’re not trying hard enough.
I ask you to reflect for a moment Are you courageous? Think about it how would you rate yourself on a scale of 1 – 10. 1 being you live in fear and never step out of your comfort zone. 10 being you are always doing something that scares you. It could be learning new things, maybe jumping on stage and giving a speech or leaving your comfy corporate six figure job to start a business and follow your passion.

Welcome to episode 152!
Are you born with entrepreneurial genes or are they learned traits? In my opinion the word Entrepreneur is overused and used incorrectly! The other morning, I was having coffee with a friend and at the table beside us was a guy on the phone talking way to loud. I heard him say… I am in between jobs and the moment, I am entrepreneur just waiting for my next BIG Thing!

Success is about doing the right things not about doing everything right. Today is about asking yourself the right question to get
extraordinary results in your life. What if you just had to focus on one thing and everything would fall into place? Think of a table of dominoes and you only have to knock over the right one and everything succinctly falls one by one by one until they are all down. As you think of your business do you have a very large to-do list
every day and as you tick them off the list more are added and it seems overwhelming. How do we get results that make a big difference? It comes down to one question!
So, what’s the one question?

This week we will focus on how to ensure the strategic planning gets implemented and your company see results. If you are going to spend the time and money bring all your top line managers or key executives to an annual 1 or 2 full day strategic planning retreat then you must make sure you will be getting the amazing results. I see it happen all the time: A group of managers get together at a resort for two days to hammer out a “strategic plan.” Done and dusted, they all head home.
But have they produced a plan with a strategy? Do they have the correct plan and how are they going to execute is critical, otherwise it was just a waste of time and money.
