In this solo episode Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf dives into the concept of the power of compounding and its significance across various domains of life, including personal growth, professional development, and investing. He begins by posing a thought-provoking scenario: choosing between $1 million up front or a penny that doubles every day for 30 days. Through this example, he illustrates the astounding effects of compounding, which can turn a seemingly insignificant amount into more than $5 million in a month. He relates this back to his previously discussed theme of consistency, emphasizing how small, disciplined actions over time can yield exponential results. Throughout the episode, Charlie references notable works and figures such as Albert Einstein, Jim Collins, and Warren Buffet to underpin his points. He explains concepts like the 20 Miles March discipline from Collins' books, where consistent, moderate progress can lead to both short-term goals as well as significant long-term achievements. He also refers to authors like Mark Batterson (who highlights the importance of consistent daily actions in his books "Win the Day" and "Do It For a Day") and William Green (who espouses the virtues of compounding from the world's greatest investors in his book "Richer, Wiser, Happier").  Concluding with encouragement for listeners to adopt a disciplined, consistent approach, Charlie underscores that such steadfast behavior will ultimately lead to astonishing compounded gains, both in the short term and over a long period.

"The best way for me to spend any given day is to essentially figure out how to make my team a tiny bit better. Because there's really only two kinds of days-ones when your team gets better and ones when your team gets worse. And if you just spend time getting better, then over a prolonged period of time you become essentially unbeatable." -Adam Bryant and Kevin Sharer, The CEO TestMissions hold a special place in my heart. They aren't a few words on the pretty wall at headquarters. Missions are blisters. They are sunburns. They are two weeks of eating the same food or days without food. They are clothes that can stand on their own because you sweated so much that the salt holds them up. Missions mean rationing water because you aren't sure when you'll find more. You meticulously plan missions. You have primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency (PACE) courses of action because you know no plan survives contact with reality. You analyze, prepare, rehearse, and execute. It means bleeding, sweating, and crying. You do whatever it takes because the mission matters. If the mission is big enough, you are on a team. Hopefully, with people who matter to you. People you never want to let down - your team. All teams need leadership. But what does that mean? Leadership is about clarity. The leader's job is to move information and emotion. Ultimately, the leader's success is defined by how effectively the team operates. Central to this is ensuring the right people are sitting in the right seats on the bus, focused on the right things at the right time. Sometimes, leaders get it wrong—the wrong person, the wrong seat, or the wrong bus. When that happens, the team's effectiveness suffers. Leaders have to fix it. Quickly. What do you do when you've got the wrong people in the wrong seats? Two Options* Develop them* Replace themI've been adding filters over the years to determine which of these is the right course of action when I evaluate team members. If I had read the book Beyond Entrepreneurship, I would have spent less time stumbling in the dark. Jim Collins has done an excellent job assembling a list you can use today. Although I'm not done reading the book yet, I bought a few stacks for the office. I walked around handing it out, saying, “Page 18. Just read page 18.” Here's Collin's list for evaluating people. * Are you beginning to lose people by keeping this person in the seat? * Do you have a values problem, a skills problem, or a will problem? * What's the person's relationship to the window or the mirror? This requires some explaining. Do they take responsibility when things go wrong? Do they shine a light on others' successes? Do they blame the circumstances? Mirror mature people always ask, “What could I have done better?”* Does this person view work as a job or a responsibility? * Has your confidence in them gone up or down in the last year?* Do you have a bus problem or a seat problem? Sometimes, you have the right person in the wrong seat. * How would you feel if the person quit? I'll add the one I've been using for a few years, “Knowing what you know now, would you hire them again for this role?” As leaders, our decisions often have options that are between bad and cataclysmic. The more senior you become, the more this is true. If you are a human-centric leader, your hardest decisions will be about people. Almost no one shows up and wants to do a bad job. They're usually doing the best they can with what they have. They're juggling their strengths and struggles, trying to harmonize their priorities. We must be,“Be Rigorous, Not Ruthless”Rigor is about truth and honesty. Not being honest is unkind. Lead with compassion, care, and communication. It will be okay if they know you have their best interest at heart and genuinely want them to win. Collins says, "To be rigorous, not ruthless, requires a blend of courage and compassion. The courage comes in being direct and straightforward, not hiding behind made-up reasons or delegating the hard task to someone else. If you don't have the guts to take personal responsibility for making the decision and delivering the news, then you don't have the right to lead. The compassion comes via tone and respect. Are you handling the change in such a manner that you'd feel comfortable calling this person on his or her birthday next year, and years down the road? And would the person warmly welcome the call?"Leaders don't have to be the only ones to ask these questions. You can ask them about yourself, too. Just because you are on the bus doesn't mean you need to stay or should stay. You won't need to drive the bus if the team is effective. Only stay out of their way.

Today I'm speaking with Alpine Fit founder Jen Loofbourrow. Jen launched Alpine Fit to be an outdoor activewear brand in line with her customer's values offering fit options for body proportions, odor-resistant fabrics for spending more time outdoors, and making products in Alaska. Raised in Ontario, Canada in a hard-working, outdoor-loving family. She went on to live in Vancouver followed by Galway, Ireland before settling down in Anchorage with her husband, and two children, and they all love the outdoors including hiking, running, skiing, kayaking, and camping.

You can contact me here: email: rick@theoutdoorbizpodcast.com or leave me a message on Speakpipe! Presented to by: Show Notes In your early twenties, you fell in love with expeditions kayaking the outer islands of Alaska's Southeast coastline. How were you introduced to the outdoors? Was it kayaking? Well, that definitely wasn't my first time getting into the outdoors. I'd say I got introduced to the outdoors as a child going to my grandparents' little cabin up north in Ontario, Canada. we called it a cottage, but it was what you would more identify as an off-grid cabin in the woods. You know, outhouse. Pump for house getting the water up from the lake to closer to the cabin for washing dishes. Endless trails to hike through the woods. So pretty remote. And you have a BS in chemistry and an MBA? Were those degrees intentional? I felt like I should probably go into the sciences because I was highly more likely to get a job that I'd be able to do after university. And somehow that science career led me to chemistry, which did bizarrely lead me to fabric development and did indeed, create a building block over my career. But, I don't know if I do chemistry over again. If I had the choice.  How'd you get into science? Where'd that come from? I certainly always liked questions and problem-solving and seeking solutions. And I do remember having one of those nerdy, you know, microscope sets. But I think I really always liked Science and Art. I mean, that sounds like the most diplomatic answer I could possibly give, but I really, really enjoyed both science and art and I think I just picked science because I thought maybe I'd be able to get a better job. How were you inspired to get into design? That must have been the art side of your brain. Yeah, definitely. I mean, I always did painting and you know, my mom did a lot of sewing in her younger years and my grandmother as well was a quilter. So I think I've always been around art, fabric, and textiles my whole life. So, it was just kind of a natural fit to pull on those different building blocks of my, upbringing. And one of your first design-related jobs was as a material developer at Lululemon in Vancouver. How did you connect with Lululemon? Well, I was going to university in Vancouver, BC, Canada and I needed a job to help pay some of the student life bills. And I actually worked in their stores. This is a long time ago before Lululemon kind of has become what it has become now. So this is like 2007ish. And basically, my apartment was where their flagship store was. We're a stone's throw from one another. It was an obvious, growing, cool vibe of the company at the time. And, it was just a great place to get exposed to potentially different types of jobs behind the scenes in, outdoor and technical fabric apparel. And just by happenstance, I got a job there just as a salesperson that they call educators, and I was such a keen, let's say, fabric nerd. I just loved the technical fabrics that they had and, what they did with their design, incorporating those specific purpose-built textiles into the designs. And how long were you there? How long did you do that? Really only two years. I was pretty young and had sort of the call to go backpacking in South America and all that sort of stuff, And you had a lingerie and swimwear retail store in Ireland. How'd you get to Ireland? How'd that start? That's another side-tangent, chapter of my resume. Basically, my, now husband, got into school in Ireland. And he got into school while we were on that trip traveling in South America. And of course, it seemed like, Hey, why not? Let's move to Ireland. You're young, you know, the economy's not that great. Let's go do something crazy. And then it turned out that, of course, the economy's not so great. And even though I had this chemistry degree that I thought was. great for getting jobs anywhere. There was no chance of getting your European work visa or Irish work visa. There were no jobs at all. It was happening just as bad or worse over there than it was in North America. So there was no status for anyone, like a spouse or anything of a student to be over there for longer than like a one-year work holiday visa or a three-month work holiday visa, I can't remember. Maybe it was a one-year maximum. And I was like, okay, I gotta figure out a better plan. And it turns out that if you can come up with a business plan and idea and apply to the Irish government for a status called business permission, they will allow you to move over and start the business. Contribute to the local economy, hire EU or Irish Nationals to be employed. Then evaluate you at the end of the year and offer you the opportunity to continue. So that is what I did. Do you have anybody in your family that's entrepreneurial? Does that come from someone in your family? I'd say there's a definite trend of an entrepreneurial spirit and, many, many self-employed people in my family. So then you're back in the States as the operations manager at a Swedish women's brand. Shkoop? Yep. Skhoop. So Skhoop is a Swedish brand that has North American offices in Anchorage Alaska. They basically make Puffy down skirt s and jackets. So picture a puffy, you've probably seen them. They're really popular in cold areas, right? They make other types of, you know, they have a spring and summer collection as well as other pieces like base layers and vests and things like that too. But the product that they started with was this sort of puffy jacket skirt version. So you, you can wrap it around, you're really easily, like over your snow pants or, you know, if you're spectating outdoor sports or things like that. You just zip it fully on and fully off, and it can layer over your other layers. Quite honestly in Alaska in the winter, you need that extra warmth. So by the time, you came around to the idea of Alpine Fit, you had a pretty well-rounded  personal experience in education on how to start a business, run a business, hire reps. I mean, yes, I felt very well prepared. and then only in hindsight or when I was in the thick of the early years, you know, of Alpine Fit, it's been just over four years, in those first couple of years I realized I was missing a couple building blocks. Yeah. Those definitely were the most challenging things. Who's gonna make it? How'd you figure that out? Well, that was a rough road. you know, there's not much of an industry. There's a big outdoor industry, but there are not a lot of sewing products or manufacturing industries. I mean, there certainly are businesses that have come before me. Revelate Designs and the bike packing worlds you know, they, they were there. Right alongside the emergence and development of those types of products. And they're based here in Anchorage, Alaska. And then there are some fishing-related sewing product businesses. How did Alpine Fit come to life? Oh, well, it, you've asked me so many questions about those building blocks. It was the call of me wanting to be an entrepreneur again. And then just kind of bringing together all of these passions that I have for all these various things together. And namely, I mean, the way I like to personally recreate is to spend long periods of time outdoors. You asked me earlier about this first long expedition-style kayak trip that I did. Those kinds of trips are my favorite thing. You pack one very small kit of gear and your self-supported food supply and all of your camping gear, and you go and you go for many days. Those trips give you a lot of time to think about what you want to have on those, trips with you. And they make you really think about the features you like and don't like about the gear you brought. So basically just to start in refining like these kit of essentials that would be good for these kinds of trips and then also this like fit options thing. Tell us more about that silver-infused fabric. So I knew that this fiber existed and I knew what kind of fabric feeling I wanted it to have. I didn't want it to have a plastic bag feeling. I didn't want it to be cold to the touch or hot and clammy to the touch, depending on the season or the condition, not another fleece product. So, basically, I didn't even have a company at the time, just the business names. And, I literally like, reached out to the fiber supplier and was like, please take me seriously. I have this whole idea, I wanna include this fiber. Basically, there is an awesome US-based fiber supplier that's working with Silver in wearable application Technologies. And, I knew of them from my time at Lululemon. Fast forward 10 years later when I start embarking on what I'm going to do for this business, they were still top of mind as the leader out there for working on, this sort of antimicrobial fiber technology. So my first step was to reach out to them. And learn about what they have, and what's possible out there that exists that's not, you know, infringing on any exclusivity that another brand might have. Right. Name Lee Lululemon. Totally unique. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of where it all began. That's amazing. do you wanna name that, that company? The fiber supplier company is Noble Biomaterials. I believe they'd probably be delighted if I mentioned them. What outdoor activities, maybe I should flip this question. What outdoor activities don't you participate in? Oh my goodness. you're gonna tap into my Alaska Imposter Syndrome. The first thing that comes to mind is like, also the funny thing is, everything is so relative, right? Mm-hmm. I mean, I'm gonna say that I'm not really into something, but then maybe I'm into it compared to other people, right? I'm an adult learned Cross Country skier. I absolutely love it. And I go at least three times a week in the winter. But where I live is world-class Cross Country skiing, and I literally have friends that are former Olympians. Relative to them. I'm not really into cross country. It's hard to say what I don't do. I mean, the, there are some things that I don't, that are definitely outdoor recreation that go in the sports realm, but like we do a little bit of fishing. Again, that's not like maybe. Like sport. I would say like, we do fishing, we're not like way into fishing. My favorite, I guess the road biking is not very good. Sorry if anyone's planning a fun road trip, biking trip to Alaska, but I personally think that road biking is not very good here. The mountain biking is phenomenal. The gravel biking thing is taking off. And fat tire biking is phenomenal. So maybe, I don't know what I'm missing. rock climbing. I love rock climbing. Backpacking too. And pack grafting. More recently, in the past few years, got have gotten way into pack grafting. I mean this a boat that's basically an inflatable kayak sort of thing, and it folds down to a seven-pound little parcel. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor biz? I would say if you're wanting to get into being an entrepreneur of any kind, be prepared to work hard at it. But actually getting into the outdoor world, you probably need to actually still physically go to where people meet in person to build a network of connections in the outdoor industry. So that may not mean you have to travel to one of the big national trade shows. Those, though, are, you know, a very fun place to go and meet your people. You can build a network closer to home. Personally, I have existed as an entrepreneur, sort of flailing in the wind for longer than I should have, and there were networks and communities that I could intersect with earlier that I'm glad that I now have. Mm-hmm. For instance, we've formed ourselves a little Alaska woman-led outdoor product business group. So there's a handful of us that are geographically based that are doing outdoor-oriented products and we're all women-led businesses. And meet quarterly and we share our challenges, successes, you know, bounce ideas off each other, plan some co co-branded marketing campaigns and just generally try to like, You know, be a community for the unique, challenges and successes that we're facing. So build a, build a network, get some peers. Do you have a favorite piece of outdoor gear that costs under a hundred dollars? Are you meaning a non-Alpine Fit thing or an Alpine Fit thing? The Alpine Fit one's way easier to answer, our little Nordic, we call it our Nordic Anywhere Marino wool hat. I'll just say the first thing that came to mind is recently I discovered these little, trail mitten things that I'm loving for spring running. They're called run mitts, white paws run mitts. Okay. And they're basically this little sort of fleecy thing that you, it's a thumbless mitten that you just put your hand inside of and it flips over. And then when you're too hot, which happens all the time really quickly in these sort of late winter, early spring runs, especially in cold places like this, you can just flip it open and then push it up your arm like a cuff. So it's like, it's like really versatile. Do you have any favorite books? My favorite thing that I'm reading right now is, my just turned nine-year-old daughter and myself have been working through a 13-book series. And it's the Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events book series. And I have to say that is action-packed with adventure, and it has been so fun. But the other books that I'm reading at the moment, is Jim Collins, B 2.0 Beyond Entrepreneurship. As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to our listeners or ask of our listeners? I guess I should tell you how to look up Alpine Fit online. alpine fit.com, and on social media, on Instagram and Facebook at Alpine Fit Co. And then if you're physically traveling to Anchors Alaska, we welcome visitors. You can pick up our address on alpine fit.com and come and visit us in our workshop space. And we'd love to hear your travel stories here about what you're doing in Alaska and meet more people.

Personal Humility + Indomitable Will    Jim Collins is my all-time favorite business thinker.   He's written a bunch of great books including Good to Great, Built to Last, and Great by Choice.   But…   My all-time favorite business book is Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0: Turning Your Business into an Enduring Great Company. (Thanks again for the rec on that, Gibson. )   I still need to do a Note on all those books and create a series of Notes for all the business books I've read but have yet to distill.   For now…   I want to talk about one of Jim Collins' Big Ideas on what he calls “Level 5 leadership.”   Here's how he puts it: “Our research showed that having charismatic leadership doesn't explain why some companies become great and others don't. In fact, some of the most disastrous comparison cases had very strong, charismatic leadership in the very era that the companies fell or failed. Rather, our research found that the critical ingredient is Level 5 leadership. The essence of Level 5 leadership is a paradoxical combination of personal humility and indomitable will. The humility expressed at Level 5 isn't a false humbleness; it's a subjugation of personal ego in service to a cause beyond oneself. This humility combined with the fierce resolve to do whatever it takes (no matter how difficult) to best serve that cause. Level 5 leaders are incredibly ambitious, but they channel their ambition into building a great team or organization and accomplishing a shared mission that's ultimately not about them.”   First: “Personal humility.”   We subjugate our personal egos in service to something bigger than ourselves.   Second: “Indomitable will.”   As in…    INDOMITABLE will. (Wow.)   We have a fierce resolve to do WHATEVER it takes (no matter how difficult!) to best serve the cause.   (Goosebumps.)   Combine personal humility and indomitable will and we have what Collins calls “Level 5 leadership.”   Only…    You know what I thought of when I read that passage?   I thought…   If, as Joseph Campbell says: “A hero is someone who has dedicated his or her life to something bigger than oneself”…   Then…   I say…   Jim Collins just described HEROIC Leadership.   And…   That's Today's +1.   Let's fiercely resolve to stepping up and into our Heroic Leadership potential—combining personal humility with INDOMITABLE (!) will to do whatever it takes for however long it takes to fulfill our Missions.   And…   Let's do that…   TODAY.   Day 1. All in.   LET'S GO.   P.S. Check out this +1 on (Heroically!) Fierce Ambition for another take on the subject, inspired by Doris Kearns Goodwin and her brilliant book Leadership in Turbulent Times.

Single-family rentals are where most real estate investors start. In one way or another, a new investor realizes that there is more to life than just their job. They save up, get educated, and buy their first rental property. Those who do well repeat the process, slowly growing their portfolio to double-digit numbers. But, at a certain point, they realize they can't go any further with the system they've set up for themselves. What should they do?Rich Fettke, co-founder of Real Wealth, and author of The Wise Investor, fell into real estate accidentally. Over the years he's had to fine-tune his system, scale his team, and learn how to become not only a successful investor but a successful leader. Now, he runs one of the premier real estate investing websites on the internet, manages three syndications per year, and still individually invests in rental properties.Thanks to his track record of more than two decades, he knows what does and doesn't work when trying to scale your real estate portfolio. Most importantly, Rich knows who to hire onto your team so you can continue to build wealth, without having to do all the work yourself.In This Episode We Cover:Where new investors should look to purchase their first investment property How to scale from single-family rental properties to syndication dealsWhy most investors “trap” themselves without a scalable teamTurning challenges into adventure and shutting down the “inner gremlin”Asking yourself, “what pisses me off?” when defining your company's core valuesAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastDavid's YouTube ChannelAsk David Your Real Estate Investing QuestionListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceReal Wealth NetworkThe Simplest Way to Successfully Scale Your BusinessSyndications—Everything You Need to Know BEFORE You InvestBooks Mentioned in the ShowThink Again by Adam GrantThe Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon TurnerThe Wise Investor by Rich FettkeBE 2.0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0) by Jim CollinsConnect with David:David's InstagramDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileConnect with Rob:Rob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterRob's BiggerPockets ProfileConnect with Rich:Follow Rich on Instagram Click here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-617See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What does winning look like for you this year? Today's guest, Matt Rolfe, invites you to reflect on how you can work on yourself before you work on your team.

Mission Driven Leaders have a higher calling, more than profit Ethan Martin and his team at PFD Group coach high growth, mission driven companies to greater heights Episode 78 In this conversation we explore: What does it mean to be a mission driven leader? How does that clear vision and mission nurture a strong team? Why might three year goals and plans be more successful? Why it's okay to adjust plans along the way? What does love have to do with it? What can an entrepreneur learn from flying a plane?   Ethan Martin is president of PFD Group.

He is author of "The Mentorship Engine"    Ethan Martin is a pilot who also teaches entrepreneurs to fly and make the connection between flying and entrepreneurship. ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Ethan Martin   02:11 What we're seeing with our clients all over the world, George, is the importance of having a higher calling tied to your business. When there's, we call it a BHAG. This is from Jim Collins and the fantastic research that Jim has done with From Good to Great, and his other books, especially Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0, which we absolutely love, just so much wisdom in that book. As leaders, we have a calling, we have an opportunity to truly steward the lives of those people working for us. And what we see when we align our business to a higher calling, some big problem that may take most of our life to solve, if not even beyond our lives. Iit helps us to attract and retain the best talent. people I think we are realizing from this pandemic, that life is short, and who we choose to spend our time with is critically important. And so when as leaders, we align ourselves to these higher calling what's really on our heart, what we're really passionate about, it is amazing how that is really key to building a great business that will grow, that will be very profitable, that will really solve everything. But it all begins with having that kind of powerful mission tied to your company. ----- 04:29 So it goes beyond simply being in love what you do. It sounds like there's some direction setting and prioritizing of what exactly you're going to do.   04:40 Yeah. It's one of the things we see with all of our clients is it's important to have a vision. And this is created with a CEO in collaboration with his or her leadership team really important to pick what mountain are we going to climb? Where do we want to be in about 10 years?  Where we want to be in three years - because three years is this magical timeframe. George, in terms of communication being so, so clear, we'll oftentimes see in companies we call this mid mountain fog. Where if the leadership team has this bold vision, but they haven't kind of chunked it into like a three year time frame, that's real. Because in three years, we have 12 quarters, to make all kinds of great investments, and people and product and partnerships, all kinds of things can happen. But it's also close enough in that it's real. We see a lot of companies struggle with things like a five year wild ass guess, where the CEO, the leadership team, the ambassadors, all know, there's really not a lot tied to it, and then ends up being really stressful, because no one's really sure how to get there, or who they need to get there. So three years becomes absolutely magical for really focusing leadership teams around where they want to go. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

The widespread idea of what sales is is broken. Salespeople today keep trying to spew the same ‘feature-benefit vomit' at every customer hoping something sticks. Sales extraordinaire, Valerie Cobb, a Fractional Chief Sales Officer, is here to reshape how companies think about sales. Learn how to revamp your company's sales culture, the importance of creating good sales processes, and the best mindset for approaching sales.    Busted Myths: Sales is a noble profession, not a sucky job on the bottom rung of the proverbial ladder. Many people fail at sales because of poor company sales culture and training. Of all salespeople, 50% shouldn't be in sales because their personality and or interests clash with what good sales actually is.   Takeaways  Sales as a profession should be helpful, even if the customer does not buy on that occasion. The salesperson should be genuine in trying to actually help the customer find what they need, even if this means walking them to a competitor whose offerings better fit that customer's needs. If you are doing sales well, you don't have to ever ask to close a deal. A good sales approach should be genuine and human and never feel pushy.  When training for sales, you must check your ego and preconceived notions of people at the door. Salespeople's first instinct should be to listen to the customer instead of assuming things about the customer and giving everyone the same ‘feature-benefit vomit'. To actually make strides towards success, companies have to create better sales cultures and integrate a ‘win as one team' mentality across the revenue, finance, and operations teams of the business. To create a better sales culture, everyone must be willing to check their ego, remove obstacles so sales can sell more to create more jobs, and then continually repeat the process.  No matter the size of the business, clear and defined sales processes are crucial to have in place even before going and hiring a large sales force. Sales processes provide the salespeople with the right, on brand, responses to customer questions and objections. Sales Processes are how salespeople learn and embody the vision and reputation of the founder, CEO, etc. Unless someone wants training and asks to be trained, the training they receive will be a waste of time, effort, and resources. When training, don't just tell people the answers, ask them questions, let them ask their own questions, and let them search within themselves and find their own answers.    Quote of the Show: “Sales, as a profession, should be helpful, period, even if you don't sell them anything.”   Shout Outs: Catherine Brown - Author of How Good Humans Sell: The Proven Path to B2B Sales Success Jim Collins - Co-Author of BE 2.0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0): Turning Your Business into an Enduring Great Company   Links LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/valeriecobb Twitter: ValerieLURY Company Website: https://www.salesqb.com/valerie-cobb/ Business Cellphone: (208) 425-7542   Ways to Tune In Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show/id1338838763 Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37228621-2f9c-4905-a223-1844effb49dd Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1vVLpNI1LssMTiL6Kdsamn Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/m/Im7mytmu2wa2mekhoeixlja5hpe?t=The_Hard_Corps_Marketing_Show YouTube: https://youtu.be/ykCebVIKSQE

Jim Collins is a best-selling author, advisor, teacher, researcher, and expert in the field of business. Over three decades ago, when he was studying at Stanford Business School, Jim wanted to know what makes great companies tick. When he couldn't find a satisfying answer, he set out to do the research himself. Those early discoveries would launch the beginning of a life-long exploration into uncovering the mysteries of success.  Jim's unrelenting curiosity has led to a considerable number of transformative findings and inspired the business world to adopt a new lexicon and embrace the novel concepts that emerged from his work. His books, including Good to Great, Built to Last, and, most recently, BE 2.0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0), an upgraded version of an enduring classic, are often thought of as required reading for leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone searching for answers in business. In 2017, Forbes named Jim as one of the “100 Greatest Living Business Minds.” In This Episode... How can you turn your business into an enduring enterprise? When is the best time to delegate, and where should you take a hands-on approach? Is it possible to transform yourself into the right person to lead your company to the next level? Jim Collins joins Thomas A. Stewart on The Leading Edge — a place where new ideas emerge and are sharpened, and where leaders look to find the edge that brings success for themselves, their teams, and their enterprises. Jim Collins, the author of Good to Great and other best-selling books, began his career studying leaders in young and emerging enterprises — a theme he returns to in his newest book. Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0 is a return to research he began as a young professor with his mentor Bill Lazier, in which they learned that great leadership is not just an art — it is a science whose principles can be studied and learned. Great leaders don't actually possess innate talents that are elusive to the rest of us. Jim's research has uncovered learnable techniques and proven strategies to improve your likelihood of success. If you want to turn your organization into something exceptional, don't rely on luck — transform yourself into the leader it needs to get there.  In this episode of The Leading Edge, Thomas A. Stewart sits down with best-selling author Jim Collins to talk about what it takes to create and lead a great company. Together, they discuss why decisions about people are the most important calls leaders make, what exceptional leadership actually requires, and how self-renewal is a crucial element of success.

Renowned researcher and author Jim Collins makes his second appearance on The Knowledge Project, this time to share a wealth of life lessons learned from his mentor and collaborator, Bill Lazier. Jim recently released BE 2.0 (Beyond Entrepreneurship 2.0), an ambitious upgrade of his first book Beyond Entrepreneurship, co-authored with Lazier and focused on effective leadership style. Shane discusses all new topics with Jim in their follow-up conversation, including what it means to be a mentor and a father, why we should trust by default, why we confuse living a long life with a great life, and the difference between being afraid of risk and being afraid of ambiguity.

Welcome back to the Digible Dudes podcast. We are back again with another interesting episode of David and Reid dedicated to a most recent book they read, Beyond Entrepreneurship by James M. Collins. Stay tuned until the end of the episode, where David and Reid dive deep into how that book impacts them and how they are going to launch the parts of that book into the company. Starting the conversation, David shares how he became aware of the author Jim Collins saying that he couldn't keep down his book Beyond Entrepreneurship because he believed that this book would help him to have a better idea about long-term disciplines to grow the company. Then, David and Reid share their attitude about the books you need to read if you are an entrepreneur or a founder or if you are just looking for answers, but according to David, it depends on your intentions. In the next part, David and Reid both share their key takeaways from the book, saying that the book helped them to figure out what needs to be done next for the company because the company has got a big deal of reputation in a short period. Further down to the episode, David and Reid share their motivation for the carrier, saying that it's not the money but the influence showing Patagonia clothing company as an example of a business that influences society rather than earning money. Continuing the conversation, David digs deep into the term Discipline in an organization, saying that building discipline is super hard as well as it's super important. Then, David talks about the risks you are about to get when launching a new product and saying you can't fail too often because you have a reputation to maintain. Wrapping up the conversation, David and Reid talk about the one last question they want to ask from James Collins, the author of Beyond Entrepreneurship, saying that they want to ask him what they should care about in Digible among those valuable lessons mentioned in the book.

In this first part of a four-part special series, Brett shares proven strategies to help entrepreneurs already at the $1 million mark break through the plateau and overcome common seven-figure challenges. What the podcast will teach you: Brett discusses some of the common challenges and feelings that business owners often experience at the seven-figure revenue plateau Why the things that successfully got you to seven figures aren't enough to keep you growing beyond that point anymore Why there are different, distinct stages of growth in the lifespan of a business, and why each stage presents its own unique challenges How the stages of business growth change on the “ones and threes”, such as $100,000 to $300,000, and $300,000 to $1 million How only 3-5% of all businesses in the United States ever reach the million-dollar revenue mark, marking those businesses as genuinely elite Why business-building at and beyond the seven-figure mark involves little to do with either sales or marketing but instead involves people, processes and systems Brett outlines the Elite Business Growth Method, which he and the team at Infusionsoft learned through trial and error Why a clear Purpose, Core Values and a defined Mission are the secret ingredients for making the transition from entrepreneur to business leader How taking these steps can help you resume growth, have more fun, do less grinding, and better engage your team What you'll learn in the next three episodes in this special Elite Business Growth Method series Resources: Elite Entrepreneurs episode featuring Keap CEO Clate Mask: https://growwithelite.com/podcasts/clate-mask/ Infographic on the stages of business growth: Text stages to 72000 Beyond Entrepreneurship by James C.
