“There has to be a way to communicate and to offer support. There also has to be a way to actually assign the tasks and assign the work. And usually, that's not the same place.”   Kira La Forgia shares her passion for empowering women to recognize the support available to them, and the potential for their impact to expand through delegation and teamwork. Drawing from her own experience in small and online businesses, she has transformed her expertise into a unique approach called "people operations" within HR consulting. Rather than just focusing on legal matters, people operations take a holistic view of the business, amplifying its effectiveness. Whatever stage of business you are at, Kira has some amazing insight that you can apply to your business now.    In this Episode, we chat about: What do before you hire your team (or go back and do if you skipped this step) When "flexibility" can be a bad thing for a team How Kira threw meeting agendas out the window and what she does instead The Ai Kira and her team use to capture meeting notes and action items in meetings Pitfalls in virtual working and how to set your virtual team up for success   Mentioned in this Episode:   Business Brilliant by Louis Schiff

“Every person has the opportunity to discover what their language is in the business world. The more time they spend living that language, the better they will do.” — Lewis Schiff   Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to get hands-on in every area of business. The best entrepreneurs learn which parts they excel at and which ones are better left to someone else — and they do as much of what they're good at as they can. Lewis Schiff calls this the first habit, and it's just one of many pieces of wisdom he's picked up over two decades and counting in business. Schiff sold two websites in the era of the dot-com boom, but it wasn't until he became an author of books including The Armchair Millionaire, Business Brilliant and The First Habit that he really started to understand the unique challenges that come with being an entrepreneur. Schiff is also the chairman of the Board of Experts for the Birthing of Giants fellowship: a program that schools business owners with companies making $5 million to $250 million in revenue on how to reach the next level.  He is also the executive director of Moonshots and Moneymakers, a conference produced by Birthing of Giants and Oxford University that shows entrepreneurs billion-dollar opportunities inside their markets — or even their own companies. In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, you'll learn how the first habit can help you and your employees, how —and why — to know whether you're operating a moonshot or a moneymaker, and why making yourself the lynchpin of your company is a design flaw. You'll also learn: Why entrepreneurship is a journey to self-discovery Why Lewis' view of the Manhattan skyline made him feel lonelier than ever during the pandemic How a janitorial business was able to create 10x more value through one of Lewis' programs How you figure out what you're best at (hint: it's not easy!) Why you shouldn't take your skills for granted What Lewis found out in his research on wealth Why asking great questions makes you the most valuable person in the room Lewis' (controversial) take on the best way to build a strong leadership team   Connect with Lewis Schiff Facebookfacebook.com/lewisschiffmentor    Twitter twitter.com/lewisschiff    LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/lewisschiff/    Learn More From Lewis Schiff   Apply to Birthing of Giants   This exclusive fellowship program accepts 60 applicants a year, who attend a masterclass designed to help them grow their businesses to meet the demands of the market.

I have some real talk for you right now.   And it may sound far-fetched and you may feel just a little bit of resistance to hearing it, but here it comes: People making 10x more than you… aren’t working 10x harder.   I know that goes against the Instagram ‘Hustle’ mindset you’re so used to seeing. It goes against everything your parents said about working as hard as you can. It goes against the societal belief that you have to be actively working and busy all… the… time… in order to be deserving of wealth.   But it’s 100% true.   People making 10x more than you aren’t working 10x harder. And “busy” is not the badge of honor that everyone thinks it is.   All of the leaders and modern CEOs that I admire have time and space for themselves and the people they care about, because they build that space into their business. Vacations… evenings… maybe even a spa afternoon here or there.   And you can too.   There is a design that goes into leading and growing a business like yours, in a way that allows you to have financial success and time freedom.    Yes, you will still have moments of hustle — launch preparation, seasonal rushes, putting out the occasional fire. But your hustle should never be 24/7, no matter what those slick pink Insta posts tell you!   No-grinding, balance-creating, super-successful modern CEOs just do things differently — and we can learn a lot from their choices.   And guess what: you can learn three of their lessons right here, right now!   In my latest podcast episode, you’ll discover: The importance of knowing when to reach out to experts  What sets successful, savvy modern CEOs apart from average CEOs   How to avoid developing Messy Marketer Syndrome    Remember to subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!    Highlights:   01:42   Who do you admire? 03:05   Seasons of hustle 03:40   Three Boudoir + ambermccue.com 04:48   Business Brilliant 06:22   Lesson #1 08:39   Lesson #2 12:05   Lesson #3 15:22   Recap 16:32   The Modern CEO Way    Thank you for listening!

The most successful people in America didn't necessarily go to the best school, but they certainly worked the hardest and gave everything to be where they are. These are the entrepreneurs.  Lewis Schiff helps entrepreneurs go from moonshot takers to moneymakers. He's developed several programs, workshops, and workbooks to guide entrepreneurs to true wealth and long-term success. He shares his advice on becoming successful, his love of entrepreneurs, and tells us what the top trait for success is.  Lewis Schiff is a prolific author, serial entrepreneur, and advisor to hundreds of very successful business owners over the years. You've probably seen or read at least one of Lewis's many successful books, a list that includes The Armchair Millionaire, The Middle-Class Millionaire, Business Brilliant, and The First Habit: The One Technique That Will Change Your Life. Beyond his own entrepreneurial success, Lewis has spent the second part of his career creating organizations and education programs to support entrepreneurs through the various stages as they grow their businesses to new heights. I met Lewis almost a decade ago when I was part of his business owners council. Since then, he's gone on to chair The Birthing of Giants fellowship program, and most recently launched Moonshots and Moneymakers, a week-long workshop in collaboration with Ryder University and Oxford University.

In part 6 of our Business Brilliant series, we are discussing the millionaire mindset and, although it is a popular concept, why win/win negotiations can make you a loser if you aren’t careful.

There is something terribly romantic about inventing something so unique and game-changing that you become a household name.  We are fascinated with the idea of innovation.  But in fact, according to the accounts of some of the most successful people of our time, there is no need to re-invent the wheel.   In part 4 of this Business Brilliant series, Matt explains why imitation, rather than innovation, is most likely to lead you to success.  Enjoy! ------- Subscribe to this podcast at YourDoOver.com Download The 3 Pillars of Creating the Ultimate Do Over compliments of Matt at FreeDoOver.com

When I was a park ranger, the former director of our agency used to preach the concept of the well-rounded ranger.  I believe his message was that our agency needed to train rangers for more than law enforcement. He wanted us to think in terms of service, and not enforcement. If focusing on service is what he meant, he was correct. But the concept of a well-rounded park ranger is hurting parks. Sure, there are people like Tom Betts at Bandelier National Monument who can do everything. Tom is true a well-rounded ranger. But I was not. And chances are that you are not either. And that is OK. It is a benefit to your park that you are not well rounded.  Not being well rounded means you are strong in some areas that can be a tremendous help to your park. It also means you have weaknesses. There are some things you are not good at. That is OK. In fact, a good park manager knows how to consider the strengths and weaknesses to assemble a great team. Now, I expect park rangers to know enough to solve problems and get things done. But often, that does not mean the individual ranger needs to know how to do the actual work. The ranger needs to be able to recognize there is a problem and begin the process to solve the problem. The idea of a well-rounded ranger, taken too literal or too serious, creates an environment that focuses on weaknesses and hampers strengths. Let me give you an example. Auto maintenance is a weakness of mine. In fact, I have no interest in it at all. At one point in my career, I worked for a supervisor who felt park rangers who felt all rangers should complete the same tasks. Each ranger was responsible for doing the same tasks the same amount of times. This took people away from doing what they were strongest at to improve in areas where they were the weakest. I get the desire to have everyone on the team contribute to all areas of the operation, which would be why you may want well-rounded rangers. But it just doesn’t work. The well-rounded ranger concept forces everyone to spend an inappropriate amount of time improving their weaknesses. Great teams set people up to build on their strengths. Great leaders know this and assemble teams with strengths in mind. If taken too far, the well-rounded ranger concept is like having every member of a baseball team spend too innings at each position during a game. In that case, you get an outfielder spending time practicing to throw a fastball rather than perfecting his craft if catching fly balls. In the wonderful book Business Brilliant, author Lewis Schiff examines the traits of self-made millionaires. Lewis Schiff tells us – A Gallup poll found the 87% of working Americans felt that finding your weaknesses and fixing them is the best way to achieve outstanding performance. Sixty-one percent of workers say they need to focus on their weaknesses because that's where they feel they have the most room for growth. In follow-up interviews, they said that improving weak areas makes them feel more responsible more well-rounded and less vulnerable to embarrassment and risk of failure. They feel conscientious about working with their weaknesses, and hope that the practice will shield them from future reproach and failure. Meanwhile, self-made millionaires are spending each day avoiding their weaknesses in order to stay focused on their strengths where distinction, fulfillment, and profits are found. Hour by hour, day by day the workers from this survey protect themselves by becoming more well-rounded and ordinary while the millionaires enrich themselves by becoming more specialized and extraordinary. That information from Business Brilliant may work for a self-made millionaire, but you may be wondering how it applies to you and parks. Consider this. When you promote the strengths of your team, it allows you to fill holes on your team with someone who is strong in the areas you need the most. So a well-rounded ranger needs to be looked at in a different way. A well-rounded ranger is someone confident in her strengths. A well-rounded ranger can realize there is a problem and knows how to solve it, likely with the assistance of other people. A well-rounded ranger does not ignore things they do not like in favor of what they do like. A well-rounded ranger understands when and how to step up to help a teammate. But the well-rounded ranger, the ranger who can do everything, that well-rounded ranger is a myth. To me, it is a choice to be well-rounded and ordinary or specialized and extraordinary. What do you think of the concept of a well rounded ranger?
