If you run a team, a company or another organization, Culture above all else Drives your Success.  And you have to Truly KNOW your people to build and sustain a winning culture.   Highlights Empower your subordinates (employees; teammates) so they take the action you'd take, not ask ‘what should I do?'

I describe two ways to look at using your current resources or advantages you have to pivot your personal life, your business, or both. First is reflection on Darren Hardy's recent Darren Daily episode on Time-Money-Wealth and using 2 of the 3 to obtain the other one.

However, history shows in most cases you cannot successfully use just one to get all three. Highlights Balancing life's spinning plates. Periodic focus on different life priorities. Acknowledging the need for focus in business. Announcement of future in-person events. Key resources in life: time, money, skills. Darren Hardy's point on resource management.
