A handshake can't stop a chargeback, clean a windblown pool in one visit, or explain why you took a sick day. We dig into the real-world moments that turn friendly client relationships into friction, and show how a simple one-page service agreement replaces tension with trust. From setting owner responsibilities like maintaining water level and providing clear access, to outlining late fees, service pauses, and repair payments, we share practical language you can adopt today without turning your business into a legal minefield.We walk through a lean wind policy that lays out the exact cleanup sequence and sets a realistic timeline of up to three weeks for full recovery after severe weather. You'll hear how vague-but-useful phrasing preserves flexibility while still creating clarity. We also compare monthly vs weekly billing so clients understand why five-service-week months or missed visits don't trigger endless debates. The focus is on alignment: when clients know what you do, what they do, and how exceptions work, your schedule, sanity, and cash flow improve.For higher-risk work, we explain how targeted waivers—green pool cleanups and acid washes—document pre-existing stains and set honest limits on outcomes. These agreements rarely need legal muscle; their presence alone prevents most disputes. Best of all, using professional paperwork elevates your brand. Pest control, plumbers, contractors—they all use clear documents because they work. Adopt the same tools to screen out problem clients, serve good ones better, and stand out as a credible, reliable pool service.Ready to upgrade your route with clear policies and less stress?

In this episode of Breakaway Wealth, Jim Oliver sits down with Dr. Erin Wilson, a powerhouse in leadership development and the creator of the "NAP Framework" for strategic rest. Together, they unpack relationship intelligence—the "million-dollar skill" that separates effective leaders from forgettable ones—and why rest is not a reward, but a strategy. Dr. Wilson shares how leaders can use relationship intelligence to connect, communicate, and collaborate at a higher level by understanding what truly motivates people. She also discusses her framework for strategic rest, how to use it to unlock creativity and performance, and why most of us get motivation wrong. What You'll Learn: Rest is a performance tool. The NAP Framework turns rest into a scheduled advantage that improves clarity, creativity, and leadership capacity. RI vs. EI: Emotional intelligence is internal awareness. Relationship intelligence operationalizes it so you actually get results with people. SDI in practice: People are primarily motivated by People, Process, or Performance (usually a blend). Speak to their driver and watch resistance drop. Common leadership mistakes: Assuming others are motivated like you. Confusing silence with agreement. Forcing everyone to play by your rulebook. Manager playbook: Hire experts → clear roadblocks → tailor comms → measure results. Action Steps Map motives: List your top 5 direct reports; tag their likely primary driver (People / Process / Performance). Schedule rest as strategy: Book two 30-minute regeneration blocks (think sauna, walk, prayer, meditation). Protect them. Adopt the NAP Framework: Nurture, Assess, Prioritize rest as a leadership advantage—not an afterthought. Dr. Erin's Powerful words: "Rest isn't what takes you out of the game—it's what makes you play smarter." — Dr. Erin Wilson Connect with Dr. Erin Wilson: Instagram: @dr.erinwilson Youtube: www.youtube.com/@PowerNAPLive  LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drerinwilson/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/DrErinW  Design Ideal Consulting: www.designidealconsulting.com/  Copy Strategic Rest in Leadership: https://shorturl.at/EyxV7 Signed Copy of SR in Leadership: www.designidealconsulting.com/category/all-products (Amazon) Copy Strategic Rest in Leadership: https://a.co/d/gPoTVTP  Strategic Rest Summit: www.thestrategicrest.com/

J. Robb, director of business and operations for Adopt a Native Elder, talks about the upcoming Navajo Rug Show and Sale.

Travis is joined by producer Eric for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical episode exploring how beliefs, meaning, and personal philosophy influence the way money, work, and life are experienced. Both hosts share their takes on existential questions (with spontaneous detours into Star Trek, simulation theory, and work ethic), showing how practical mindset shifts are inseparable from financial success. On this episode we talk about: Various mental models that shape work, motivation, and the experience of meaning How philosophy—like Nietzsche's ‘eternal recurrence'—reframes choices and ambitions The importance of recognizing meaning as self-generated, not assigned by circumstance or others Why evaluating beliefs by their practical usefulness is a key discipline in modern business How accepting truth wherever you find it drives personal growth, resilience, and sharper decisions Top 3 Takeaways Philosophy matters: Questioning and reframing beliefs about meaning and agency lead directly to greater productivity and financial outcomes. Meaning is self-generated—thinking carefully about what keeps you going can reveal your true priorities and help you make better life and money choices. Adopt beliefs and mindsets that are useful for your growth—even if you can't prove them, lean into what propels you forward and out of ruts. Notable Quotes “Meaning is entirely self-generated. You decide, and it might change over time. So choose wisely.” “If a belief system isn't useful—if it doesn't propel you into meaningful action—why keep it?” “Accept truth wherever you find it, regardless of who says it. That's how growth happens.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How to reshape culture in Japan without breaking what already works.  What is the first question leaders should ask when inheriting a Japanese workplace? Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change.  How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved.  Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades.  Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves.  How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions.  Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice.  FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

Au Sénégal, une nouvelle taxe qui ne passe pas. Elle concerne les paiements par téléphone, le mobile money très utilisé dans le pays. Plombé par une dette souveraine record, l'État sénégalais cherche plus de recettes. Selon le gouvernement, cette nouvelle taxe doit permettre de faire entrer 350 millions d'euros par an dans les caisses. Mais les opérateurs économiques font bloc pour rediscuter la mesure.  Adoptée en septembre dernier, la loi instaurant un prélèvement de 0,5% sur les transactions de mobile money, plafonné à 2 000 F CFA (environ 3 euros), n'est pas encore entrée en vigueur. Mais déjà, elle suscite de vives inquiétudes chez les acteurs du numérique et du commerce au Sénégal. Dans un pays où plus de 80% des adultes possèdent un compte de mobile money, cette mesure pourrait bouleverser les habitudes financières des Sénégalais, estime Joelle Sow, secrétaire générale de la coopérative Digital Senegal, qui regroupe les entreprises sénégalaises du numérique. « La croissance du mobile money profite beaucoup à l'économie. Donc une décroissance de cette industrie aura des répercussions collatérales un peu partout. Les commerçants reviendront au cash, le particulier lambda reviendra au cash. Tout le tissu économique informel va se poser la question : est-ce que je continue ou je ne continue pas ? », analyse Joelle Sow.  Une manne fiscale pour l'État, mais un risque pour l'économie informelle Pour le gouvernement et les défenseurs de la loi, cette taxe doit permettre au secteur du mobile money de contribuer à l'effort national de mobilisation des ressources. Mais du côté des petits commerçants, l'inquiétude est palpable. Ces derniers ont adopté les transferts d'argent par téléphone parce qu'ils étaient simples, rapides et peu coûteux. Avec la nouvelle taxe, ils redoutent un manque à gagner significatif. Sidy Niang, cofondateur de la startup Maad, l'un des plus importants grossistes alimentaires de Dakar, alerte sur les conséquences concrètes pour son secteur : « Dans l'agroalimentaire, 0,5%, ce n'est pas du tout négligeable. Si je donne un exemple aujourd'hui, le sac de sucre qu'on va vendre à un boutiquier à 26 900 francs, après la taxe, il va se retrouver à 27 160. Ça va être surtout la population en boutique, une population avec un pouvoir d'achat limité. » « Il y a assez de taxes au Sénégal » Au-delà du surcoût pour les commerçants et consommateurs, les professionnels du numérique dénoncent une approche jugée injuste. Le secteur du mobile money, en forte croissance depuis la pandémie, s'est imposé comme un pilier du commerce sénégalais. Il facilite les paiements dans un pays où le secteur informel représente près de 46% de la richesse créée chaque année. Pour Sidy Niang, cette taxe risque d'alourdir encore la charge fiscale sur les acteurs déjà en règle : « Il y a assez de taxes au Sénégal. On le sait tous, mais sauf qu'en fait, il y a beaucoup d'acteurs qui sont informels, qui n'ont pas payé la taxe. Donc la solution, c'est justement d'élargir l'assiette fiscale, donc aller voir sur les taxes existantes comment faire pour qu'un plus grand nombre paie. Là, ce n'est pas élargir l'assiette fiscale, c'est taxer plus les acteurs qui paient déjà leur taxe. » Les professionnels du secteur réclament par conséquent une concertation nationale pour revoir la mesure, voire en différer l'application. Les détracteurs de cette taxe s'appuient sur un exemple régional : celui de la Tanzanie. En 2021, l'introduction d'une taxe de 1% sur les transactions mobile money avait provoqué une chute de 38% des transferts de personne à personne. Face à la grogne, le gouvernement tanzanien avait dû réduire puis réviser la mesure, reconnaissant ses effets contre-productifs sur l'économie.

Ever feel like the more your business grows, the less peace you actually have? Many entrepreneurs chase revenue, automation, and scale—only to realize they've built a machine that runs their life instead of serving it. What if true success isn't about doing more, but about becoming more human in a world obsessed with efficiency? In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz interviews Ryan Levesque, best-selling author of Ask and Choose, creator of the Ask Method, and founder of The Digital Contrarian newsletter. Ryan shares his journey from building a $70 million digital business to leaving it behind for a simpler, faith-centered life on a farm in Vermont. He explains how to protect authenticity in the age of AI, craft a “Category of One” brand, and align your business with your family, faith, and values.  Timestamps [00:00] Starting Over During the Great Recession [07:00] Building Brand Awareness with No Budget [11:00] Culture Before Scale [16:00] Hiring and Delegation Lessons [20:00] Communication Cadence and the EOS Revolution [27:00] The Trade Council Blueprint [33:00] Empowering Trades Through Shared Values [43:00] How to Get the Attention of a $138M General Contractor [48:00] Scaling from $25M to $138M [54:00] Simplicity, Sustainability, and Freedom of Time  Key Quotes “In a world of artificial everything, what if real is the only advantage left?” “You can't scale a hug with your five-year-old.” “AI can automate words, but it can't replicate presence.” “The best things in life don't scale—and that's exactly what makes them sacred.” “Your business should serve your life, not replace it.”  Key Takeaways Redefine your metrics of success. Prioritize time, presence, and family over arbitrary business goals. Guard your authentic voice. Let AI support efficiency, not authenticity. Adopt the Three-Part Content Model. Build your “Category of One,” create a consistent content hub, and scale intentionally through repurposing. Embrace the unscalable. True connection, creativity, and faith are built person-to-person—not through automation. Connect with The Better Than RichWebsite - ⁠⁠https://www.betterthanrich.com/⁠⁠Facebook - ⁠⁠https://m.facebook.com/betterthanrich/⁠⁠Instagram - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/betterthan_rich/⁠⁠Twitter - ⁠⁠https://mobile.twitter.com/betterthan_rich⁠⁠TikTok - ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@betterthanrich⁠⁠YouTube - ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3xXEb7rKBvkCOdtWd4tj2A⁠⁠Linkedin - ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/betterthanrich⁠⁠

In this Hosting Hotline episode, Sarah and Annette take on a question from a new host who's been live on Airbnb for a month without a single booking. Frustrated, they're wondering if the problem is market saturation, high guest fees, or simply the fact that the neighbor's house has a pool.If you've ever launched a property and heard crickets, you're not alone. Sarah and Annette walk through the mindset shift and tactical steps every host needs when bookings aren't rolling in:Stop blaming what you can't control. Saturation, guest fees, and neighbor amenities aren't the full story. Hosts need to focus on the levers they can control.Audit your listing presentation. Are your photos professional, clear, and guest-focused? Is your description highlighting unique value? Is your calendar even open and bookable?Identify true comps. The house with a pool isn't a fair comparison if you don't have one. Focus on properties with similar size, amenities, and guest profiles.Read your analytics. Airbnb's insights show where guests drop off, whether you're showing up in search, and what your conversion rate looks like. Data removes guesswork.Adopt an owner's mindset. Hosting isn't passive income — it's active business ownership. Treat your listing like a product that needs to be tested, tweaked, and improved.At the heart of this episode is a challenge to hosts: take extreme ownership. If your listing isn't getting booked, don't wait for Airbnb's algorithm to save you. The hosts who succeed are the ones who audit their listing, study their competition, and make data-driven changes until they get results.Resources mentioned: YouTube Video: The Secret Airbnb Setting That Improves Listings by 300% – Deep dive into Airbnb settings that can boost visibility and conversions.Mentioned in this episode:Lodgify | Use code TFV20

The best reviews for student choice and flexible learning environments come from educators embracing personalized learning in the field. In this conversation, lean on the wisdom of PL implementation experts, Georgia's regional educational service agencies (RESAs).

"Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction." - Pope Benedict XVI   Summary Every one of us is on a journey towards eternity.  Our life here on earth, our vocation, our careers, our relationships are all just ways that we can grow in our knowledge of ourselves and of God.  But many of us struggle to learn how we can stretch ourselves and prioritize our own spiritual growth.  In this podcast, we share our own stories of conversation moments and how our spiritual practices have changed and matured over the years. We hope this will give you some inspiration and ideas of how you can come closer to God our Loving Father and see that none of us are ever "done".  We are all on a journey towards our eternal home.     Key Takeaways To be a good mother or father you must first know who you are as a beloved son or daughter.   Do things that put yourself in that place to receive from God such as mass, regular confession, and staying in a state of grace.   Be honest about where you are in your season of life.  Adopt spiritual practices accordingly Our perception of God is colored by our experience of our parents.  Do we see God as having high or low expectations of us?  Do we see God giving us high or low support to achieve those expectations? The most healthy relationship has high expectations and high support to achieve them.  Recognize that we are constantly growing and maturing in our relationship with God and others.  Growth takes time!    Couple Discussion Questions What is our perception of God and the Church?  Where are we right now in our relationship with Him?   How can we as spouses help each other grow in our relationship with both?    Resources Go here to purchase these books!  https://amzn.to/3O6ce8V
