BusinessWISE

You may look at your stats—but are you seeing the full picture? Do you understand your scene well enough to achieve your vision? To raise statistics, you first have to use them—but it’s not just about looking, it’s about seeing clearly. It may be what's hidden from view that's leaving you in the dark. This episode is the first lesson in learning to see what’s there—and what isn’t—so you can gain r...

According to L. Ron Hubbard, “Graphs and stat analysis are the heart and soul of management.” It’s hard to overstate the importance of this subject—and yet, we’ve never done a series on it.  So get ready. This is going to be a wild ride. We’re diving straight into the heart and soul of management, starting with a fundamental question:  How do you actually control stats?  

If you listened to the first episode of this two-part series, you saw how destructive DISTRACTION is to your success. But we didn’t tell you how to handle it. In this episode, you’ll learn the simple law that cuts through distraction and brings chaos under control.

You experienced them as a kid. But bullies don’t grow out of it—they just get better at hiding it. And in business and life, the damage can be far greater. In this episode, learn how to recognize them—and handle them.

The common denominator to finding competent employees has been discovered, and the handling is simple.  Listen to this episode.  It could not only change your life, it could give you one.  

You can know something. Agree with it. Even intend to apply it. And still—not implement. That is not accidental. There is a specific barrier that stops application. In this episode, we bring it into view—and show you how to handle it so you can move forward and win.

There are barriers to success that are easy to spot—and others that are far more insidious. Learn to recognize the one that is seldom given the importance it deserves, yet can bring about all the rest.

There are some episodes of BusinessWISE where, while we’re putting them together, I find myself wondering if this might be the most important episode we’ve ever done. This one falls into that category. I won’t say it’s the most important—but it is damn important, I can tell you that. It may explain why you sweat and toil to expand your business.

If you are using the Hubbard management system, you are using Stat Management.  Conversely, the more you know about and apply statistical management, the more you are using the Hubbard management system.  But here and there some think they are using stat management when they are actually using “stat push”.   It pays to understand the difference.

There are four conditions that are completely within your control to handle that, left untended, mean certain self-destruction of the group.  This is condition Number 3.  Learn about it so you don’t go effect of it, and learn the remedy.

Show me an entrepreneur who isn’t interested in controlling income — and I’ll show you someone who won’t stay in business very long. But there is a basic fundamental here that many are tempted to overlook. Master this one point and you take a decisive first step toward stabilizing and expanding your income.  Ignore it — and it will cost you.

The second cause of business suicide is unfortunately all too common and becoming more so.  You need to be especially alert for this one. If you have customers yelling in reception, chances are it comes from this.  

There are four causes that L. Ron Hubbard described as a subtle form of organizational “suicide.” Most businesses don’t recognize them — until money flows dry up, contracts break down, or customers disappear. The good news? Each has a precise and simple handling. In this episode, we examine Cause #1.  Look for the rest in the coming weeks.

Does invalidation make a better employee or teammate? The evidence says no—yet it’s used constantly. What about invalidating yourself? Does that create a stronger, more capable you? Also doubtful. In this episode, we take a hard look at self-invalidation and examine what L. Ron Hubbard has to say about its effects—and the alternative.

We have done a couple of episodes in a row on HOW TO BE AT CAUSE, and this one is a fitting wrap up on the subject, at least for now.  And while it is difficult to peg any one episode as the “ultimate” at showing you how to go from “effect” to “cause,” I would say this one is close.

There is one attribute that virtually guarantees you will be at cause. It’s simple, mechanical, and within anyone’s reach. In this episode, we examine it closely—and why it works so reliably when applied.

No one in the business world likes being at effect—at the effect of the market, the competition, a bad employee, or the inability to find competent ones. There is, however, a simple formula from L. Ron Hubbard that will put you at cause in any circumstance. Learn it. Apply it. And watch your ability to operate—and win—rise.

When we think of success in achieving our goals, we often think of discipline.  We know it takes discipline to attain them.  And when we think of discipline, we usually think of hard training and constant correction towards perfection.  But there is another factor, perhaps the most important one, you will learn about in this episode.

There is no better time to sit down and dream up some postulates than right now, as we enter 2026. The better you understand postulates (and there is a lot to know about them), the more skilled you become in using them.  The more skilled you become in using them, the better you can create and control your future.  It’s that simple.  So, make sure you tune in to this one, and Happy New Year!

Each year at this time, we pause to reflect on what truly matters — goodwill, responsibility, and the role we play as business leaders. This special episode draws on one of the great holiday narratives long shared across generations to explore the quality of help, hope, and leadership that still matters now. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time or returning to it again, this is a moment to...

We have been discussing LIFE MASTERY in terms of handling discipline on self, but how about handling discipline with others?  Is there tech to that?  Well, to master life one would have to be able to handle ethics with others, and as you might expect, L. Ron Hubbard addressed this subject with precision.  So here we go!

Outflow alone isn’t enough. To raise your inflow, you must raise the quality of your communication — and there’s one exact ingredient that most entrepreneurs miss. When you add it, you don’t just get more response… you get better response. This episode shook a lot of business owners awake the first time it aired. Don’t skip it.

High-performing entrepreneurs talk about discipline constantly. The “entrepreneurship hype” bubble has burst. Today successful business owners believe in skill, work, consistency, and discipline. And just about everyone agrees on one thing, they can all use more of it! This episode gives you the LRH on the subject.

You have a business; can you have a life as well?  Unfortunately, a business, often started to give you freedom,  can crowd out things that leave a life feel incomplete.  But you can master your life, you CAN control it.  There is know-how to this, and this week’s episode is a great place to start.  

OK, let’s introduce you to THE MAGIC TOUCH PART 2.  Learn how to part the waters! Learn how to wave a magic wand that opens up friendship and cooperation and allows you to get your message over to others!
