Momentum for the Entrepreneurial Personality Type (EPT)

If you're like me you expect a lot from your team and you want people working for you who are exceptional in their positions.   If you have a strategic planning system in place and there's clear communication so your team can feel like they're winning,  the best people that you have today are going to stick around.   Early on in my career, I was so single-minded on success that there was collatera...

Successfully starting a business requires you to do everything.  So,  successfully starting a business conditions you to do everything.  The idea gets stuck in your head that to continue to be successful you must keep doing more and more yourself.  The goal for you as an entrepreneur should be to offload where you can so that you can grow and evolve.  You need to offload to create space for the en...

When I was younger I never realized how much information and help was out there for me. I wish I knew then, what I know now.   Today, I understand that if you need expertise in your business the fastest way to get it is not to try and become an expert yourself but to just buy expertise wherever you can. Shortcut your learning curve because it's going to create way more progress and way more moment...

Are you getting the results you want right now?   For an Evolutionary Hunter, the best way to clear a mental roadblock is often through movement. If you feel like you need a walk, like you need some fresh air and stimulation, don't talk yourself into staying at the desk because you feel like that's what's more productive. As a momentum based being, you must get up and move.  When we don't have mov...

Most entrepreneurs wonder if their teams are working hard enough. I NEVER have to think that about my team. Today I'm leading one of the best teams I've ever had in my career and it's so exciting. I'm watching them perform incredibly in their positions and do amazing things for the company but, I'm also watching them grow and develop as human beings   As entrepreneurs, we want teams who can break...

Ladies, it's time you shatter and explode the glass ceiling. You can't argue with numbers. The gender pay equity gap is massive in the world. In the US women get paid on average 80% of what men do.  Let's be honest, women are treated differently and it's not just in the workplace. So, how do you break through the glass ceiling? You take on the Huntress! You remember who you are because you know yo...

Every entrepreneur has a tendency to go towards what we want to do rather than what we should be doing for the business. One of the things I have done repeatedly in my 25 years as a business consultant, is take really complicated systems and figure out the simple ways to analyze a business to get immediate clarity on what needs to be done next. This led me to create "The Five Core Functions". This...

What is the thing in your life that creates vulnerability and exposure for you that you're fighting doing ?   I have things in my life that make me nervous, things that cause the imposter syndrome to make an appearance.  I've recorded over 350 podcast episodes yet every time I still try to talk myself out of it. Every time I record a podcast the voice in my head says things like "no-ones going to...

There are three alignments that matter to the EPT. Three alignments that keep us sane, alive, and moving forward. It's simple, first is the alignment with how we are treating ourselves, how aligned are we with what we want? The second is the alignment we have in our relationships, it's usually the alignment with a significant other that drives all our other relationships. Thirdly is our alignment...

Being different means you're not average.  You're not like everyone else.  There were times in my life when I thought why can't I just be like everyone else and fit in? Today, I realize that those questions were not empowering and they were looking at the world in the wrong way. When you were younger you might have been told to sit down, stop moving, stop making everyone else uncomfortable.  But w...

This update has been coming for a long time, today I'm sharing with you what's going on within our business and our growth.  A ton of our teams focus is currently on the Billionaire Code Accelerator program.  We are revamping our content, delivery systems, and operations because we have big goals we want to achieve for this program.    I appreciate your help, I appreciate you being a listener and...

I think that as an expert coach, you should teach what you're an expert at. You should teach what you are passionate about, what you have personally discovered and created. I always coach people to be very careful about sharing our materials, if you answer a question incorrectly or you don't have the answers you will leave people stuck in place. If you're a coach, an expert, an author, whatever yo...

We've all been in situations where we've had to ask for help and it's backfired. This creates a pattern in our minds that when we ask for help we are vulnerable and exposed.  I want you to understand something, to those around you vulnerability looks powerful and inspirational! Sean Stephenson and Jon Morrow are great friends of mine and one of the reasons I love hanging out with them is because t...

One of the biggest levers to success is to stop blaming the people around you for the things that trigger you.  Take responsibility for yourself to be able to move forward to that place you've always known you should be. When you realize what your triggers are you can condition yourself to change your behavior. What you react to will keep you in the same state of success that you're in today. When...

If you're an entrepreneur and you know dealing with numbers is hard for you, I want to give you some steps you can take to get past trauma with numbers. If you find yourself battling with your numbers there's probably a deeper reason. Admit it and work through it to become the entrepreneur you know you could be. As the saying goes " If you don't know your numbers you don't have a business".   If y...

As the leader of your company , you have this incredible opportunity to help the people around you transform, grow, and become better people.   When you put people in an environment that is positive and nourishing and gives them momentum, that momentum bleeds out into all other parts of their lives. It's exciting to be an entrepreneur and it's incredible to build a team. Helping people thrive will...

One of the easiest ways to empower your team, have them ask you fewer questions and start to get them accustomed to solving things in the business without your direct involvement is to ask them when they come to you with a problem "What would you do?". That's it. Listen, coach success, get leveraged results and you will have a team who can think for themselves.   As an entrepreneur who's listening...

When you have a team member who started out great but is now not delivering the way that they normally do, there is a high possibility that this is your issue as the entrepreneur, not your employee's issue. When you start to get comfortable with somebody you might think that the expectations you have are clear but they really aren't. If your team member doesn't have clarity around their role, they...

I want to be clear, redeployment is not easy, it's very frustrating.  If it gets easy for you then you're probably doing it wrong. . When you find yourself in a redeployment situation it's important to be clear, transparent and real.  Going in it's one of the hardest conversations to have but once it's done the feeling of relief is massive. Be real and you will thank yourself for it.    Do you wan...

"You've done such a great job!.....but"   You might think that you're giving a positive comment but if you follow up with something corrective you completely deflate the positive. As a CEO you create your team's inner voice. One of your most important jobs should be to proactively seek out the things that your team does that make you excited and communicate that with them over and over again. If y...

If your team doesn't feel safe, they will overwhelm you with questions about every aspect of their job. When they have clear outcomes and they know what your expectations are they will go and execute those tasks.  Do you really think your team wants to overwhelm you and spend their time and energy asking you for clarity? No. Your team wants to win and when they feel safe they will!   If you're an...

One of the questions I get asked most often is "how do I replace myself in my business?".  This question is a massive source of confusion and frustration for entrepreneurs.  It can be a struggle however it is absolutely possible. Just not all at once!  If you're looking at building a team and you want to be a part of a community of entrepreneurs who are growing incredible businesses and mutually s...

Abusive relationships come in many forms, these relationships can be with team members, coaches, partners, and romantic partners. Abusive relationships can be mental, physical or financial. Abusive relationships affect both men and women, they do not discriminate. Entrepreneurs are susceptible to getting into these unhealthy relationships and there are clear reasons why. It's so incredibly importa...

There are times as an entrepreneur when you just want to shut down that drive you have and be like everyone else but you can't. You can't turn off who you are. The first awakening of every entrepreneur in history is when they realized they were different. The second is the discovery of innate motivation. The third is hearing the call of contribution, that voice that's saying you need to do more, b...

Can you hire a friend or family member? Yes! Put them through all the same testing and processes you normally would with any other applicant and if they qualify as the best person for the job, definitely hire them. I think working with friends and family is one of the biggest privileges we can have as entrepreneurs. If this is something you're considering here's my advice, no matter who the person...
