Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)

Our business is currently in a state of intense growth. We are charging towards a $3,000,000 run rate and making the shift from Operator to Leader on The Billionaire Code.  On this episode my wife, Cadey, joins me to discuss how we take care of our business, our team and ourselves when we're experiencing times of massive transition and company growth. You cannot get used to things being the same. ...

When it comes to moving your life forward, consistency will beat grand gestures every single time.   As entrepreneurs, we have this belief that if we're not making some type of grand gesture or massive commitment that it just doesn't matter.  Here's what I want you to know, consistency, making little things happen every day, is so much more important and effective.  The path to bigger results and...

When I hit one million dollars, my life changed. But, not in the ways that I had expected.   When you start a business, the most important person is you. You have to do everything. You are the company.   The challenge as you grow your company is that you have to go from doing everything to being able to lead everything. It's not clear to most people what a dramatic transition that is.    My goal i...

Last week I held the Billionaire Code Summit. The people at my events and in my programs, all have one thing in common, they all have an opportunity that's big enough that they've decided to build a team around it.    There's an issue that came up over and over again at the Summit and  I want to share this one with you because I think it's one of the biggest points of leverage that you have when y...

As entrepreneurs, we tolerate too much. As a result, too often, we get into relationships  (personal and business) that are totally wrong and stay in them for much longer than we should. Throughout my career, I've seen over and over again, entrepreneurs stuck in abusive relationships.  This is a really tough and personal topic for me to discuss, I questioned if I should even do this episode, but,...

Do you have a Daily Huddle with your team? I have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs grow their businesses from 6 to 7 figures and 7 to 8 figures, and the Daily Huddle is one of the most important tools they use. A Daily Huddle is a place for team building, giving people connection, and recognition. It's something I believe you have to do live, in person.   Maybe you could run it through an app or a...

Fight or flight mode is a natural response to stressful or challenging situations.  You can stay in it and try and push through your days, but you will pay the consequences.   My advice is to not get stuck.  Break out of fight or flight mode as soon as possible.  So how do you get back on track?  There are three strategies that I use every single day to put gas back in the tank.  One - Hydrate lik...

Delegation will change everything for you, but, it's not a mindset, it's a process.  There comes a time in your career where you realize the momentum that you can create on your own, is not enough.  You need help and you need to delegate your work to achieve the outcomes that you really want. Everyone today is looking for a hack.  What are the quick fixes? How can you just give someone work and ha...

Today I have been speaking at the CapCon Conference in Dallas. After my talk I had someone approach me to thank me.  They said that while listening to me speak, something clicked for them.  They realized that they've been wasting so much time trying to work out what the perfect thing is that they need to do to get started, but, really they just need to do something, anything. Far too many of us ar...

I never imagined I would share a podcast about cleaning your house.  I have been following the Marie Kondo method and it has changed my life. Stick with me, this method is a very specific way of purging your house and creating crazy organization. I believe every one of us must consistently and consciously lower the pressure and noise in our lives so that we can move forward and progress.  This met...

When you employ people and create a team, eventually you are going to have issues.  One of the toughest things to deal with as a leader is people issues, but sooner or later there will be a big problem and you are going to have to terminate someone. One of the biggest mistakes you can make as an employer is to speak negatively about past employees to your current team. The rest of your team is wat...

Entrepreneurs want to earn money.  We don't just want to make a living, we want to achieve wealth and freedom. When we're tracking our success, money is most often the scoreboard we're working with. But, there are times when money is not the only metric that matters. When you take on a big project and there's not a big cheque at the end of it, it feels like a total failure, but, are there other ga...

Regardless of what business you're in, these are the numbers that you should be tracking constantly. Net Worth - How much value have you created for yourself in the world? Top Line Revenue - How much is your business grossing?  Overall Profitability - This one may seem simple but I'm blown away by how many entrepreneurs do not track their profitability. Take every dollar you've made, minus your ex...

If you have a fast growth company and you have a team member who's been performing really well for months but all of a sudden isn't anymore, what do you do? I like to look at the situation rather than the person.  If you're growing quickly, your company is undergoing massive change.  The scoreboard has probably changed.  As your company grows things become less and less clear for your team unless...

People brag about hustling & how many crazy hours they're working every day. It's almost the status quo now to be proud of how overwhelmed you are.  If you own a business and you're growing that business, your behavior has to change. Most entrepreneurs are so busy and buried in the business that they never have time to create the space for what's coming.  Every day you should have a goal to get ta...

"Sit down" "Stop moving and wiggling around" "Stop making everyone else uncomfortable" Every entrepreneur I've ever known, including me, has been told these things.  When you hear them often enough, you actually will stop moving.  Entrepreneurial suppression is real and you need to fight against it.  every single day I make a conscious effort to move. When you're strapped to a desk all day long bo...

Lawsuits are ridiculous.  Here's the truth... If you're pushing limits as an entrepreneur, sooner or later you're probably going to end up in some sort of legal conflict.   When you get into a legal conflict, no matter what the official outcome, my contention is that everyone loses.  Do not take legal conflicts lightly.  Lawsuits are a huge financial, emotional, and energetic drain in any business...

As entrepreneurs, we push back against process.  Process to us feels like constraint.  If we're not innovating and doing new things, we feel like we're not moving forward.  Let's just say, putting processes in place is not something that we naturally pursue. I know, I feel it too.  But, in your business, if you want your clients to have the highest levels of success, and the highest level of confi...

Recruiting new team members is exciting, it means that your business is growing and you're moving forward.  When you're hiring and you get somebody who has come from a big name corporate company, you feel like you've hit the jackpot.  This person is going to solve all your problems. The challenge is, there is a massive difference between the way people work in large corporations and how entreprene...

Sooner or later, every business owner encounters stressful situations. I've had some big challenges recently and when I'm feeling upset, hurt, or frustrated, I know that I need to rely on my mind-body connection to get me through. If you're spending your days feeling triggered and being constantly reactive, it's not good for you, your family, your team, or the clients you work with. You need to fi...

There's a huge difference between checking a box, and actually getting results. On an entrepreneurial team, you need to have near 100% of the people in your organization actually getting the results you're going after. It's easy to be impressed by a long list of completed tasks but if those tasks are not resulting in you achieving the outcomes you want, then it's time for something to change. If y...

This is a tough and personal subject for me but it's something I feel like I have a responsibility to share.  Here's a shocking statistic, 90% of entrepreneurs will be embezzled or stolen from.  No one wants to talk about it if it's happened to them but it's time to open up the conversation. You are allowed to talk about it, it's not your fault, and it's not anything that you did wrong. I hope by...

If you have someone in your business who is not fully utilized, they will become dangerous. They don't have a focus or an outcome, so they'll start questioning things within the business.  When people are fully utilized they focus at a much higher level. The most vulnerable person in any business is always the person in charge. If your running a business, any issue is your issue. Don't create muti...

Let's get real, when you saw that this episode was about finance and accounting, you probably thought about skipping through it.  The vast majority of small business owners can't stand talk about the numbers and don't have clean financials on a monthly basis. Not knowing exactly where you stand financially is one of the biggest foundational issues in business. You need to know where your money is...

What happened last year for me, my family, and my business? Here's my 2018 recap. A big part of the past year for me was working on breaking through barriers, putting myself out there and just being real and transparent. I went deep into our content and applied it obsessively to both my business and my personal life, I wanted to make sure that what we teach people really works. There are too many...
