Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)

It's a common misconception that measuring or "tracking" your employee's work is micromanaging. But in reality, without measurement, you will be forced to micromanage. Here's why, when you're not measuring, you have to consistently check in with people to know what's happening and what the issues are. When you don't have a perspective as to what someone is doing, you are going to step into transac...

A lot of our clients do well in their business then find themselves bored. This typically happens after pressure and noise are reduced, we've simplified, and everything is in a good place. Then they start to wonder what's next and feel the absence of knowing what they should be doing. In the last few weeks, even I wondered what I should be focused on. Our team was absolutely crushing it, but that...

I share a lot of success stories on the Momentum Podcast, but not always the failures. I had someone reach out to me on Facebook and ask what happens to be the people who aren't successful in our programs. I sat there and thought about it, and decided sharing this would be valuable to this audience. Once I reflected, I noticed three commonalities for people who joined our program and failed.    Ev...

As an entrepreneur, if you've ever felt like you couldn't get the help you need and you were never going to break through to finally not doing everything yourself, you're not alone.    So many of us have been there, just like our guest for today. In this podcast, we interview one of our Billionaire Code Accelerator clients, Emily Richett.    She's going to share with us how she's grown her busines...

Predetermined decisions that entrepreneurs have creates a massive loss in momentum. When we set up constraints and barriers of saying we will never do something, it hurts us. Instead, be open-minded to change. Allow yourself and your team the opportunity to review something before you make a decision. Don't go into something thinking you will never do this or that, because chances are the minute y...

Entrepreneurs love a runaway success story, myself included. We want to know what that person is doing, how they did it, and see if we can do the same thing. The problem is, far too many people ask what they are doing and try to copy it exactly. But doing this can cause you major issues, and most likely end up hurting your business rather than helping it.     It's okay to follow a success story, b...

Cadey and I just got back from California. We were at Taki Moore's event surrounded by over 100 coaches from around the world. It was incredible. I wanted to record this podcast to share with you my takeaways and the biggest insight I received about growing and scaling a business under $10 million.    After attending the event and reflecting on the conversations I had, there was a common principle...

This is a first for the Momentum Podcast...Recently I recorded an interview with one of my clients, Sterling Griffin, on his podcast, LifeChanger. It was SO good that I had to share it with you guys too. I thought it would be interesting for you to hear me on the other side of an interview, answering questions. I hope you enjoy it!    To give you a sneak peek, in this episode we go over:   -The En...

So many entrepreneurs feel imposter syndrome, including myself. We hear that voice in our head tell us we aren't good enough as soon as we go to do something out of our comfort zone. When you feel it, you're doing things right. It's your subconscious pushing against you. If you struggle with this too, know that you are not alone, and almost everyone feels it. The people who experience imposter syn...

A lot of business owners feel like they should accommodate their clients. I'm here to tell you that you no longer need to. The more you accommodate, the more you create a business with no process, system, and everything is customized. There's no way to create a consistent delivery with your clients if you keep making exceptions for them. It will kill you, exhaust your team, and hold your business...

When you let yourself become trapped in the day to day, it's one of the least empowering ways to run a business. It will stunt your business growth. The challenge for most people is when they started a business, the success created was entirely by themselves. They did everything. But once your company has grown and you've gotten to the place where you can no longer do everything alone, you need to...

Most entrepreneurs have a hard time scaling businesses because they don't make things easy enough on themselves. To scale, you need to simplify. Typically, businesses start with one person doing everything. As the company generates more success, it's difficult to jump out of the place of doing everything yourself to outsourcing work. Once you get to the level of success where you are no longer abl...

Entrepreneurial anxiety is real. The faster we come to terms with it, the faster we can do something about it. So where does entrepreneurial anxiety come from? It comes from people like you and I wanting to be in momentum, make progress, get things done, and not being able to. If we lean in and embrace the anxiety, it will help us move forward.   I experienced entrepreneurial anxiety last week whi...

There's a recurring issue we see in our coaching program, entrepreneurs creating overwhelm for themselves. Even after we put our systems in place to lower the pressure and noise in their life, they almost immediately want to add something new they can chase. They start feeling the momentum and want to do more. They don't realize that adding more usually slows the business's growth down and distrac...

We just had the close of our second full year in business. The last six months have been exceptional for us. Our company has been growing like crazy. One of the major things we've focused on is planning. I always say that if you don't have a plan, you're going to be the biggest bottleneck. We've used our strategic planning process to coach 100's of millions of dollars in growth with our clients. A...

Entrepreneurs face resistance constantly. The day you decide you're going to do something, the whole world is going to tell you not to. But in this case, Ashlan Nelson was the opposite. Before creating her company, Unstoppable Stylist, she was a hairstylist for several years. She had an idea to help other stylists figure out how to make more money, but kept getting conflicting messages from her fr...

A few episodes ago, we discussed why some employees torch the place on their way out. In this podcast, we talk about what to do when it happens. People who threaten your business when they go are looking for a way to justify leaving. It's that simple. They need to place blame on you, or the company, and come up with a reason to leave the team rather than just walking away.     The more you react t...

Success is the greatest personal development vehicle there has ever been. You can read as many books as you want, take numerous courses, and hire a coach, but if you aren't out there making things happen, you won't feel the personal development you desire. When you move forward, that's the best personal development.    If you're like me, you're an evolutionary hunter, and you learn the most when y...

There's a reason why people torch your business when they leave. Sometimes as an entrepreneur, you screw up and make a mistake, causing someone to quit. But more times than not, people go because they found a new opportunity. To justify leaving, people often blame their employer as part of the problem, making it their fault.  They know they have no integrity if they just up and go. When employees...

Emily and her team work with high-level clients to grow their business through effecti...

At some point in their career, every entrepreneur has felt like they were special, different, or unique. I have news for you, I'm not a unicorn, and neither are you. If you start thinking you're the only person who can do something, it's going to be the biggest barrier to you scaling your business than you could ever create. Once you drop the idea that you are special, you will see what you should...

When you have the right people, in the right places on your team, it will drive your company forward. As entrepreneurs, we get to a point where the momentum we create alone is no longer enough, and this is when we need a team. As entrepreneurial personality types, we need more protection and support than the average person to get where we want to go. The shift from "me" to "we" in a team setting i...

Having a system to select the right projects is crucial to any business. First, analyze your business to see what projects you should be doing. If you don't have a consistent system for analyzing what projects to do, you're going to do them randomly, haphazardly, and they're going to hold you back. Projects build the infrastructure of your business. When you select the right project, at the right...

Most entrepreneurial businesses are facing way more chaos and challenges then they need to have. If the same issues are showing up repeatedly, such as having an inconsistent customer journey or if product delivery is inconsistent, there is a simple solution to these issues. You need a deep process in your business. The more clear your process is, the more client trust you will create. Without a pr...
