In this episode, we explore Bad Business Habits that can slowly but surely undermine growth and profitability. Surprisingly, many business owners develop unproductive habits without fully realising their long-term effects. Accordingly, addressing these bad business habits is essential for building a sustainable and thriving enterprise, no matter the industry.The Pricing Trap: Harmful DiscountsFirstly, one of the most common bad business habits is underpricing products or services to attract more customers. Although offering discounts may initially seem like an effective strategy to boost sales, it often leads to reduced margins and undervalues your offerings. Instead, setting fair and well-considered prices that reflect the true value of our work benefits both the business and its customers. Pricing correctly establishes trust and ensures profitability in the long run.Doing Everything AloneAnother bad business habit involves attempting to manage every single task on your own. However, this can lead to overwhelming workloads, inefficiency, and eventual burnout. Delegating responsibilities to a capable team or outsourcing certain tasks is crucial for success. Additionally, using tools like the Pricing Calculator on the "I Hate Numbers" website can help prioritise high-value tasks. With proper delegation, we can focus on strategic decisions and growth instead of mundane details.Focusing Only on Low PricesSimilarly, focusing too heavily on finding the cheapest options can create bigger problems over time. This approach, which is one of the most damaging bad business habits, often sacrifices quality and ultimately hurts customer satisfaction. Rather than cutting corners, it's far better to invest in reliable solutions that enhance value and protect your reputation.Avoiding Financial AdviceAdditionally, some business owners avoid seeking professional financial advice due to perceived high costs. Nevertheless, working with experts ensures better decision-making and financial health. Tools like BudgetWhizz can further support effective budgeting, helping to avoid critical financial mistakes.Breaking Free of Bad Business HabitsEvidently, recognising and overcoming bad business habits is a transformative step towards achieving long-term goals. While breaking these habits requires effort, the rewards are undeniable. For actionable tips and deeper insights, listen to this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast. Take control of your business habits today and pave the way for a successful tomorrow.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy

What does it really take to build a successful business and balanced life? In this episode of the Habits and Hustle Podcast, I am joined by Mind Pump's Adam Schafer to discuss this very thing.  We discuss Adam's challenging upbringing, including his father's suicide, an abusive stepfather, and the importance of allowing children to struggle and learn from challenges, rather than solving all their problems, even going as far as "manufacturing adversity" to help build character in privileged children. We also dive into a wide range of topics such as self-awareness in relationships, building sustainable, profitable businesses rather than chasing vanity metrics or venture capital funding, investing in yourself and your own growth, the potential negative impacts of social media, especially on younger generations, and much more.  Adam Schaefer is a successful fitness entrepreneur and IFBB Men's Physique Pro. Adam has obtained certifications from top fitness institutions and has trained over 1000 clients. As a co-founder of Mind Pump, he combines his expertise with his partners to make a positive impact on the fitness industry, bridging the gap between wellness and performance.  What We Discuss: (06:42) Success Through Adversity (25:50) Gaining Advantage Through Adversity (35:11) Understanding Family Dynamics and Breaking Cycles (44:00) Recognizing Insecurities and Growth (59:29) Breaking Toxic Relationship Patterns (01:19:55) Authenticity vs Social Media Persona (01:32:18) Navigating Social Media and Parenting (01:42:42) Managing Multiple Businesses and Delegating Roles (01:53:05) Venturing Into VC Hustles and Investments …and more!

Have you ever wondered how successful advisors keep reaching new levels of success? Some might say that it is just luck while others might say it's about skill.  I believe that it comes down to one simple but powerful process which is all about knowing how to build healthy business habits, habits that provide consistent action toward achieving goals. When was the last time you took a serious look at your habits and realized that they are the cause of your success or lack of success?  In fact, most financial advisors, insurance agents, wholesalers, branch managers, and even agency managers don't have a well-thought-out step-wise approach to creating better habits. The reason they don't know it is that they don't understand the power that habits play in their daily lives. Rather, they are conditioned to continue applying the same bad habits which keep them on a production plateau. In this episode, learn about Building Healthy Business Habits which is a process for applying the right tools and techniques to illuminate bad habits while helping to establish good habits so you can reach the next level!

Unprecedented times are inevitable in business. However, the difference between a business that continues to thrive and make money and one that ultimately fails depends upon certain critical business habits. Every entrepreneur should know that, although they are one of the key factors for success, sales alone will not make a business successful. There are other critical factors that must come into play if a business is to succeed. One of the most critical factors is an effective marketing strategy. As a business owner, you must position your marketing strategies so that they are constantly feeding your business sales. In the digital era, online marketing is cheaper and makes it easier to reach more prospects. What you can achieve with twenty dollars in traditional marketing will potentially be ten times more effective with internet marketing.

Life and momentum coach, Melisa Cluff has the ability to point out something that makes you go, “Dang! That's EXACTLY what I needed to hear!”  She joined me in a workshop for my students talking about the 110% lie!Think about those times when you say, “I'm gonna give this 110%!” You're so committed, you're so driven, and you want to make it a success. Melisa and I discuss why 110% isn't what you need to focus on. Rather, a whole lot less…turns out to be a whole lot more. Connect with Alison: Facebook and Instagram @alisonjprince

Can you guess how success in your customization business is like success in a fitness, financial, or weight loss program?If your goal is to lose 20lbs by September 30th, you can't start working on that on the 25th and expect to be successfulIf your financial goal is to save up $20K for a down payment on house, or pay cash for a car, you're probably not going to pull that money out of that week's budget to make the purchase.Because with your health and your finances you've got to do small things right on a regular basis - or BIG things on a regular basis - in order to succeed. You're not very likely to win the lottery OR wake up with 6-pack abs after buying a scratch off and doing sit-ups one morning.BUT, if you save and invest over time, every day, do some ab work every day, you're very likely to end up in the place you want to be.Let's apply that to your Business Life and talk about the habits that will help you reach your goals:Regular Habit/OrganizationHave a calendar.

Jake and Eddie go in depth into possible business ventures and talk about important values to have in order to achieve your goals.

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Krystal Covington, CMO of Go Lead Consulting, and founder of the Women of Denver business organization. Krystal shared incredible insights on adaptability and how to handle lessons and ideas that are commonly shared but hold us back. Krystal also talked about lessons she learned the hard way about reaching out for help and developing partnerships that have been the lifeblood of her survival and thriving. Along the way, Krystal shared why it is so important to have people you can struggle with, why it is important to support each other in tough times, and how it can be paid back tenfold – even when you do not see the direct path ahead. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to episodes 190 and 191 to learn from the insights and journey of an award-winning business strategist, TEDx Speaker, and successful entrepreneur.At the end of our conversation, Krystal asked me why entrepreneurs have such a hard time breaking bad business habits that they learn and pick up in their prior corporate careers, and what makes it so hard to create change. So today, I'm talking about why entrepreneurs find it so difficult to change and switch tactics when something they learned in the corporate world isn't working in their own business. I also talk about how to make sure you as an entrepreneur and leader don't stay stuck with blinders on when a strategy isn't working. This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching.

You have probably heard this more than once… "What got you here won't get you there.” In entrepreneurial circles, this typically means the habits and tactics that got you to one level of success or will not help you achieve the next level of success. In fact, those very habits and tactics may be holding you in place. This is something I see all the time with entrepreneurs. Rather than make the behavioral changes necessary to grow their business to the next level, their business plateaus and even stagnates, sometimes shrinking because the entrepreneur themselves does not change their behaviors. Alex Charfen, a business growth coach who helps entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses, gives practical, tangible, and actionable tips that you can implement into your business right now. This came up during our last event in a pretty dramatic way. In this podcast, I will share with you what I shared with all of our members. Your business has the potential to change the world, and the only way to see that potential become a reality is to implement a strategic plan.

And I think we’d all agree that it’s pretty easy to create a habit, but having one that sticks with you and becomes a business habit is probably one of the harder ones to adopt.So we’re gonna break that meeting into four parts, we’re going to talk about people’s experiences of trying to create lasting habits, problems they face. And then we’re going to discuss some solutions. And hopefully at the end of the meeting, which will be in about 30 minutes, some takeaways, and then we’ll come up with next week’s topic.

Do you know the difference between business habits and lifestyle habits? Jesse points out that people often will confuse the two. While lifestyle changes may cascade down and affect your business, they don’t directly impact your bottom line. Meditation, prayer, and exercise are great, but those are lifestyle habits. We want to get into true business habits that you can implement, such as lead generation or content creation habits. Find your business blindspot and develop a habit to improve that area. Let's say your worst business habit is trying to do everything yourself because you think no one can do it as well. That’s an opportunity for you to develop one of your best business habits. Commit to training others, get in the habit of sharing what you know.

We have had a bit of discussion before the meeting started. And we've discovered there's some new features on zoom.

And the four parts are people explaining their experiences, problems, come up with some solutions. And then hopefully, at the end of the meeting, we come up with some takeaways, and then we spend about three minutes coming up with a topic.

I don't know about you, but I am SO ready to start a new year! I love the beginning of a new year - a fresh start. There is so much room for working on new and exciting projects, looking at the big picture and leaving behind the things that haven't been working for you or have been holding you back. It's pretty typical of me to get in some really bad habits around the holidays. I become pretty undisciplined and I HATE it. The New Year always seems to be this crucial moment where I have to decide to break the bad habits and also form some good new habits. In this episode, I'm sharing 5 bad habits that a lot of photographers have that you absolutely should ditch in this new year in order to have your best and most successful year yet!SHOW NOTES

Are you a starting entrepreneur? Do you aim to learn some business insights? People nowadays do not have a whole system of creating money inside their ownership and bank accounts. Business habits would ensure results since it’s a consistent routine to insist on development. However, some practices are merely based on feelings and on what’s bound to happen—making it an unreal method of growing businesses. With this podcast, you would learn actual and tangible habits that would have your expected outcome. A predictable system would result in predictable growth, since you could measure the underlying narratives and resolutions. Following these habits would encourage you to make money ranging from six to seven figures. -- Are you looking to connect with a group of like-minded habit hacking people?

Today, we're going to talk about 3 non-business-related activities that make me more money. Why is this important? You have to work on yourself first when you're running a business. If you don't, it's kind of like being in a professional race car race without a pit crew. Getting an edge in business can be weird and hard. All of the following steps have been crucial to the success that I have had in my business. Meditation. Before you run away, picture a scenario. If you're a weak person and you try to bench press a heavy weight in the gym with no experience and leave when you can't do it, that would seem odd to other people. You have to practice it, the same as meditation. In today's society, everyone is addicted to their phones and it's important to strengthen your focus. After 6 weeks of consistent meditation, it's scientifically proven to help your brain. Try it for even 1 minute a day and add 60 seconds each day.Yoga changed my life. It's similar to meditation on steroids, but it unites movement with your breathing. This exercise helps me to feel uncomfortable and breathe through discomfort. This can be a great asset for your business when you are stressed or dealing with uncomfortable situations.CrossFit is strength training combined with aerobic activity. It helps with a lot of aspects: endorphins, exercise, being healthy and discipline. Exercise is going to give you energy and enthusiasm. If you want to be happier and drive your business car faster, these have worked wonders for me in terms of being a more effective person in life and a better business leader. If you want to learn more about making more money in your business, visit https://www.digitalnomad.com/podcast

If you are in an entrepreneurial journey of any stage right now, you are listening to one of the must-listen to podcasts for your growth. Because today, we are chatting with the business development expert- Mo Bunnell of the Bunnell Idea Group, who’ve helped many of the biggest companies in the world achieve the exponential growth they are aiming for. Mo is actually an actuarian, who was used to focus on client service, billable time and doing great office works. But when he was promoted to being like a business partner, his responsibility now switched to selling stuff, which he did not have any knowledge about. He thought there was a manual on how to run and develop a business the right way, with client’s happines as the end result. But there was none. He wanted to do his best in his new role, that’s why he started to research, write and test systems of how to do business development the right way. Fast forward to after a few years, he develop the system that actually brought in business, was extremely efficient and his colleagues loved. He created the systems he wished he had before he was promoted. Now, he and his team have taught 15,000 people all around the world to incorporate his business development system to help them win at work, succeed at life, by doing business development with confidence – the right way. Today, he is sharing important bits of knowledge to help us win. Be sure to have your notes ready! Here’s What You Missed What are the three big things you need to do to become successful?How to manage your opportunities?How to get the best out of the relationships you build?Why you should ask for help and how to do it?How to achieve exponential growth?Be proactive: How to do it the easiest way  Knowledge Nuggets [7:32] Three big things to be successful: 1. managing your opportunities 2. managing your relationships 3. Managing yourself and being able to not only focus on the craft of whatever you want to do.  People don't find or are struggling with success being an entrepreneur because they only focus on their core craft, not also on the craft of growth. [8:41] 4 steps of Managing you opportunities: 1. Listening and learning and asking great questions. 2. Turning the lens back on yourself, with the knowledge you have of that person, you can create some curiosity or how you can improve their life. 3. Building everything together. 4. Gaining approval. [11:59] Be more interested than interesting. [14:00] 3 researches about Managing relationships: 1. The closest connections are focused on commonality. 2. There's mutual benefit to the relationship. 3. The mere exposure effect: the mere exposure to something seems to cause us to like it more. [15:36] Write down the list of your most important relationships, and everyday think how can I help this person? Continually invest in those relationships and do it with the frequency. 17:22] We drastically over estimate the barrier to someone else wanting to help us. So when we don't ask for help, we actually, in a way can harm the person because we didn't give them that great feeling of helping us. [18:28] If you are hesistant for any reason to ask for help, ask for advice instead.  [24:30] The way you manage yourself is you carve out 15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes a week and look at your opportunity and relationship list and all you do is pick what are the three most important things you're going to hold yourself accountable to the next week. Do that every single week. And you cannot help, but succeed. [29:46] Don't fall into trap of being reactive. Break it down, maybe weekly tasks, then committing to finish it by the end of the year or your timeframe.  Important Reads and Links  Mo Bunnell BD Habits:                                        https://bdhabits.com/Mo Bunnell Website:                                          https://mobunnell.com/Mo Bunnell Facebook Group:                           https://www.facebook.com/bunnellideagroup/  Love #DreamNation?

According to a study published in the Harvard Business Review: Two thirds of people will settle into a new job in around three month’s time. But what about for entrepreneurs — people who are literally creating their jobs each and every day? With plenty of information available to us — but no one, official road map to follow — the choose-your-own-adventure aspect of being an entrepreneur is both exiting and a big responsibility. Because, like we talked about in Episode 019, the decisions we make today can impact the trajectory of our businesses in the weeks, months, and years ahead. So, today, we want to share 5 bad business habits we, ourselves, broke — 5 seemingly small habits which changed the trajectory of our business, and are definitely worth breaking!

How are those goals, those habits for your business working out for 2019? Are you still focused on them or has the reality of 2019 and life, in general, pushed them aside and you are no longer as focused as you were 4 weeks ago, now that it's Feb 1? Can I share with you 2 strategies to make them work?

We only have seven more business habits to cover and some of these are really going to hit home for some of you, so let's jump in it to the first habit! 1 BEING GRATEFUL. Something I really want you guys to put into place is a way for you to document the things you're grateful for every single day. 2 RESPECT OTHERS. Just be kind. Be considerate of the people around you. They even say, it takes more energy and more effort to be mean. 3 IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS. Learning does not have to stop after high school or college. Find a way to learn something new hone your skills for your business, or for yourself to raise you to the next level. 4 PLAN. Those who are hardcore with their business and have their sights set on being successful, plan obsessively. If you do not have a plan of where you want your business to go, I highly encourage you to sit down and make a plan for the next year. 5 BE MINDFUL. Really respect and being mindful of how you are treating yourself. 6 DO SOMETHING YOU LOVE. We are so consumed and wrapped up in our businesses, our families, and our careers that we're focused so much on these goals that we forget to pour into ourselves, women especially. 7 ASK FOR HELP. We don't have all the answers. None of us do. Its is so important to push our ego to the side and ask people who have gone before us for help. We shouldn't be waiting until that last minute to ask for help.

Welcome back to part three of business habits. I have seven more business habits to share with you to share with you to get your business back in line, in gear, and having you see success. POSITIVITY. It's so important to focus on positivity, especially if you are a business owner. I encourage you to be persistent and be consistent. If you do those two things, eventually you will see success. 2. CONTRIBUTE YOUR TIME. Find a way to donate your time. Encourage your team & clients to come with you and contribute their time too. That bonding experience will also help with a positive culture. 3. BUSINESS BUDGET. Your expenses can go off the rails very, very fast. If you aren't keeping track your money will find its way itself. So you have to dictate where your money goes. You are in control of your budget. So if you don't have one, make one. 4. GET A MENTOR. Find someone who has already achieved the level of success you're after and see if they can give you any feedback to kind of tweak what you're doing to make it better 5. EMULATE SUCCESS. Reverse engineer what they do. You can even ask them if you want, “how did you do this,” but really dive into what they're doing and try to uniquely implement it in your own business. 6. TAKE ACTION. It's kind of obvious, right? Like, you can't have success if you don't have action. I am all about massive, bold action. 7. REFLECTION. We've talked a lot about visualizing; seeing ourselves in the future. What do I want? Not a lot of people take the time to look backwards. Where have I come from? What have I achieved? What did I accomplish.

Here are seven more business habits to implement in your life and for your business to see results fast. 1 80/20 RULE. 80% of the results comes from 20% of the work. Only two out of 10 tasks are going to be revenue-generating activities. Look at your tasks and hone in on those top 20%. Same thing goes when working with a team. Identify those 20% and pour into them. 2. TRACK, ANALYZE, & REDIRECT. Track what you're doing, document what you did that day, what worked, what didn't. You can make these changes to get to your goals faster and more efficiently. 3 NETWORKING. It's who you know that will add to what you know, that will get you to that success. When you're pouring into other people, even if they might not need you or your services, they will begin to know, like, and trust you & refer someone else to you who might need your services in the future. 4 BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS. So often we forget that human piece and skip passed the relationship building piece; that connection. Step back and build those relationships with your people. 5 ADD VALUE. Add value anywhere and everywhere you can. You want to give a ton of value upfront so much so that people think you're crazy for giving away so much information for free. 6 ASK QUESTIONS. At some point in our lives, maybe our ego gets in the way, but we stop asking questions.We need to step back, really look at things, and start asking questions again. 7 JOURNALING. Get everything that's in your mind down on paper. This is one of the only places that's a feedback-free zone. It's just for you so don't censor yourself when it comes to these things.

Our daily habits govern how we think, feel, act & they also have a major impact on our potential for success. 1 Waking up early. If you've never read the Miracle Morning, I highly suggest you do. If you're an entrepreneur, there is one specifically for entrepreneurs, & I highly suggest that one because it does have affirmations & testimonials from those who are entrepreneurs. 2 Power Hour. It's been said that mornings are the most powerful time & that is when we have the most clarity & focus. I really want you guys to to focus on something that is going to be income producing 3 Stay inspired. Find a quote, a video, a TED Talk, maybe a person, but find some way to inspire yourself every single day. 4 Set daily business goals. Map out the things you want to accomplish during your day for your business. No matter how big or how little they are, you want to document what you want to get accomplished. 5 No virtual clutter. What that means is making sure that everything in your virtual space is nice & tidy. 6 Manage your time. My biggest thing with this one is calendar blocking. I literally have calendar blocks & reminders in my calendar so that way, everything stays neat & organized & reminds me on my watch & on my phone if I need to switch task & do something different. 7 Chasing the frog. Before you go to bed, look at what your day looks like tomorrow. Plan it out in your mind. What is the most difficult task? What do I need to knock out first?

How to Form Business Habits that Get the Results You Want! It starts with identifying the trigger for your desired action. You also need to have a pretty good idea of what you want your desired outcome to be. Once you've got that figured out, then you have to decide if there's enough craving for the desired result to motivate you and your team or is there a fear of repercussion that will keep everyone focused on the desired result? When you really get down to it, good business habits end up becoming well-established processes. On this Podcast, Joey G from Agency Nation interviews Dr. Billy Williams about creating effective business habits.

It starts with identifying the trigger for your desired action. You also need to have a pretty good idea of what you want your desired outcome to be. Once you've got that figured out now you have to figure out if there is enough craving for desire or fear of repercussions.

That's what I sit down to talk with Billy Williams, of Inspirer a Nation, about how he creates those habits. Of course, you want to see Billy do his thing live at Elevate 19.

One of the most common ways that business owners lose their passion for their work is by getting sucked into a variety of bad habits that really inhibit the types of success they can achieve. You might not even realize that you have these habits, because the process of making them habitual is very slow and gradual. But the fact is that many businesses that aren't achieving their full potential are likely being slowed down by at least one or two bad habits. https://viralsolutions.net/how-to-break-bad-business-habits/

Dave breaks the ice by talking about Sugar Ray beating his hometown hero, Marvin Hagler in one of the most important and memorable fights in boxing history. JJoin Dave Lindahl and Sugar Ray Leonard for the main event at Ultimate Partnering 2018 About the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation: The foundation was established in 2009 by boxing legend and six-time world champion Sugar Ray Leonard and his wife, Bernadette. The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation is committed to funding research and creating awareness for childhood type 1 & 2 diabetes and to help children lead healthier lives through diet and exercise. Throughout Leonard’s boxing career, he watched his dad and friends struggle with the many complications of diabetes and how it has affected every aspect of their life.

It comes on suddenly, causes dependence on injected or pumped insulin for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Type 2 diabetes in children is on the rise, fueled largely by the obesity epidemic. Leonard draws from his personal experience and boxing career to provide inspiration for funding research to combat the disease. - via Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation Who needs 10X when you have Deal Lab?

Thanks for having me, Hugh. It’s always great to talk. When I think about the genesis of my career, I spent a decade in the corporate world. I was the COO of an Inc. 500 company. After working with a large company but also smaller companies, I got a real big insight into what does it take for a small business to scale and get to the next level? How do they get out of their way so they can really grow and get to that next level? I started a consulting company at the worst time you could start a consulting company, in 2008. Right in the midst of a financial crisis, I decide that’s the time I’m going to start a business. But since then, I’ve worked with hundreds of small business owners, thought leaders, and brick and mortar businesses, helping them get to the next level, grow, feel more confident in what they’re doing, have more freedom in their lives. I do some federal government work and consulting. I’ve done it in Utah and New Mexico for the federal government. I still do a lot of corporate training and government training. People ask me what I do. I say I’m a coach, speaker, and strategist. Ultimately, I am a person of deep curiosity. I love to connect people with people and people with ideas. I’m always curious about the world around me, and I use that curiosity to help other people get more curious about what they’re doing as well. Hugh: Wow. Since you and I last talked, you launched this business. We’ve talked incrementally but not about your business. The title that I see is New Work Revolution. Talk about that. What does that mean, and why did you choose that title? Brandon: The idea behind New Work Revolution is about humanizing work, putting the human element into work. We could talk about systems. We could talk about processes. We could talk about an ideal customer. We can talk about all these different strategies and plans on paper. All those things are meaningful. All those things matter. But if we get the human piece wrong, none of it works. There is an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” New Work Revolution is about breaking the bonds that really tie people down. There are two facets to this. 1) I have been an employee who has worked with a less-than-desirable boss. There is nothing worse than working for someone that a piece of you dies inside every time you interact with them or see them. Everyone who has ever been an employee knows what I’m talking about. That’s tough. 2) On the flip side, there are a lot of business owners—as an example, I had a business owner who wanted to shut their business down because they couldn’t wrap their heads around the people-management part of their business. Through our work together, they realized that a lot of what was getting in their way was their own thought processes and limiting beliefs about team management. When they did it right, they experienced great growth and tremendous enjoyment within the business. I want to teach leaders how to be the best boss they can and still create accountability, connect with team members, and build strong cultures within their business so that when people work for an organization, they enjoy what they do. We spend 40 hours a week at least at work. In fact, the majority of our waking time is at work. We might as well enjoy the work that we do as well as the people that we work with. That is what New Work Revolution is about. How do we start a revolution to work differently, work better, lead better, and connect better as a group? Hugh: Enjoy your time at work. What a novel concept. Brandon: It’s crazy. So crazy. Hugh: The problem with common sense is that it’s not very common. Brandon: Yes, that is true. Hugh: So Brandon, I’ve interviewed a whole lot of leaders on this show. People have a different nuance. I learn from everybody, and I get inspired by everybody. I learn things from people that have very different approaches than I do. I don’t know that yours and mine are any different. We are unique individuals though. Let’s back up. This word “leadership.” My whole podcast is about leadership. I choose not to use that word because I feel like people don’t understand that word. Do you find that to be true? Brandon: Absolutely. Look, we use these words with no intention behind what we’re saying. Hugh: Say more. That was good. Brandon: One of the things that I do for myself personally and for leaders that I work with is I define what this means to you. Here’s the thing with leadership, Hugh. I use the example of college football. Nick Saban is the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. By all accounts, Nick Saban is not a pleasant individual to play for, but he gets results. On the flip side, Dabo Swinney from Clemson, he’s a player’s coach, a guy that you’ll see dancing in the locker room, havin’ fun, a complete opposite in a lot of ways from what Nick Saban is. They win the national championship last year over Nick Saban’s team. My point in saying that is not because one style is better than another. There are many different ways to lead and many different paths to leadership. You have to define what that looks like for you. I have a leadership philosophy that I created for myself that helps me define how I want to lead. What does being a leader look like to me? How do I communicate that in a meaningful way to people that I do lead so they understand where I’m coming from and how I want to impact their lives for the best? Hugh: Wow. That is pretty profound. Defining your philosophy. Do you model leadership for people you work with? Brandon: Do I model it for them or from them? Hugh: Do they learn by what you do or what you say? Brandon: Both. The problem is what I say needs to be congruent with what I do. Here is why I say this. When I was a very young leader, 25 years old, I thought I knew everything about leadership. Oh my gosh, I am going to be the CEO of this company within five years. What I realized was the great business philosopher Mike Tyson said, “Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.” That’s what happened to me when I got my first leadership assignment. I had a plan, I got punched in the face, and I realized through that experience that I didn’t know nearly as much about leading people that I thought I did. I transcended my own failure into success, but how I did it was I got educated and trained on where are my blind spots, what am I doing wrong. Before I changed those blind spots, I needed to set context with my team about what I’m doing. Hugh, if you are my employee, and we work together, and I start to create a thought about you that says, “Hugh is a no-good rotten piece of junk. I can’t work with him. He’s just impossible,” everything that you do starts to be seen through that lens. You could be out there feeding homeless people, right? I could look at you and say, “I told you he’s no good. He’s not working. H’s out there doing God knows what with this and that.” Now I have taken something that’s pure that you’re doing and I have ruined it through my own faulty filters. I have to go to my team and humble myself and say, “Guys, I recognize that I am not an effective leader in these areas. These are things I am going to change. I want you to hold me accountable to making that change, and I want you to recognize why I’m doing it so that you don’t misrepresent or misinterpret what I’m trying to do as something that is not for you when in fact it is something that’s for you.” I think it’s important to use our words to paint the picture, but then to go out and execute those words ruthlessly. As a leader, my only currency is my credibility. If I am a credible leader, I have a lot of currency with people. But if I’m not a credible leader, it’s really hard for me to move people when they don’t believe in what I have to say. Hugh: There is an awful lot in that. That was a whole lot of really good stuff, Brandon. I’m trying to track the questions that that prompted. The transparency piece. Early in my podcast series, somewhere in the teens, I interviewed a group of really profound leaders. One was Cal Turner, who went to his leadership team at Dollar General and said to his team, “I got this job because my dad founded the company. I have the vision to take this public. You have the skills; I don’t. I got the job because of my genes, not because of my skill. You got the skill.” Because he was transparent, they stepped up. They said, “Oh yeah.” Cal said to me, “Hugh, leadership is about defining your gaps and finding good people to fill them.” There was another part. He is a very faithful Methodist, and in his office, there are statues of the two Wesley brothers who founded the Methodist church. His dialogue, he said, “Yes, I am the boss, which spelled backwards is double SOB.” I am the son of the boss. There is a whole dynamic with families and leadership. The dynamic you hit on was people think that identifying those gaps is a weakness in leadership. You just positioned it as an essential strength in leadership. Did I hear you right? Brandon: Absolutely. I’ll add to that. Here is the thing about our flaws: Everyone else knows we have them, right? It’s hard to read the label when you are inside the bottle, but everyone can read the label except for you. We all have blind spots as leaders. We have things we know we’re weak at, and we have things we don’t know we are weak at that other people can see. What my team wants to know is am I aware of my own imperfections? We all have them. I remember I think it was Glenn Morshower. He was speaking at an event and said, “You know, ignoring your flaws or ignoring,” he talked about ignoring your sins or flaws, “is like getting in a pool and then saying you didn’t get wet. You are walking around and dripping water everywhere, and the whole time you are thinking, No one knows that I got wet. No one can see my flaws. That’s our flaws.” Our flaws are the water that is dripping off of us, everywhere we can go, that people can see. If my team is going to follow me, they will follow me more. They will be open to recognizing their own flaws when I am more transparent about what I have to learn and where I have to grow. Think about how ridiculous of a philosophy this is for leaders who say, “Don’t show weakness.” But then what they want their team to do is show weakness and invite them for training, development, where they need to grow. If I sit there and pretend I have it all put together, all I am doing is inviting my team to do the same. If everyone has got it put together, we’re screwed. Hugh: Absolutely. He said exactly the same thing. He pretended to know, they are going to say, I am going to show him. I am going to get him. It’s disingenuous. It’s not authentic. You have just portrayed as being open and transparent. Brene Brown talks about vulnerability. What I learned from the great teacher of conductors James Jordan who has written books on lots of topics of conducting, “In order to make really good music, the conductor needs to be vulnerable on the podium. Then we can invite good music-making.” That’s probably the same principle we have in corporate leadership. Brandon: Absolutely. Hugh: You said a lot of profound things there. I think part of it is that we have been taught leadership a certain way, and it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work now if it ever worked. We have to be the boss. We have to have all the answers. We have to be in control of everything. If we are able to clearly paint the vision and empower other people, which is what you just talked about and say, “Here’s my piece of it. I’m really good at this,” my position is, and Cal taught me this, skills and gaps, rather than strengths and weaknesses. I think we all don’t do some things better doesn’t mean I’m weak there. I like to say my skills are here, and my gaps are here, and that’s where I find really good people and elevate them to higher levels of functioning. Brandon: I like that. Hugh: I learn a little bit from everybody. I am learning stuff from you today that is great. I think if somebody that I am interviewing says, “No, I got that leadership stuff done,” I can’t help them, and they’re dangerous. Their mind is like a parachute. If it ain’t open, it ain’t going to work for this. What is the biggest challenge you see? Let’s talk about the business sector because it’s different than the nonprofit or church sector. In the business sector, what is the challenge? Is it the same or different for leaders in mid-cap or big companies versus entrepreneurs? Brandon: For leaders in smaller organizations, the challenge they have is time and resources. They know they need to train; they know they need to have intentional processes. They know they need those things, but they don’t always have the resources. Or they are not concentrating on putting those resources toward those areas. You have a lot of people who work in the organization who aren’t qualified or trained or anything else. Let’s take someone who is a dentist. You have a dental office, you have people who are in there. Pretty soon someone rises to the level of office manager. The reason why they are the office manager is because they have proven themselves to be capable, responsible, and effective in their role before that. Now we have put them in a leadership responsibility, but what got them here won’t get them to the next level. They need a whole different set of skills. A lot of business owners are ill-prepared to train and develop a leader underneath them because they don’t know what that looks like for themselves. In a larger organization, you see more of that. They start to invest in training and get people support at certain levels. There is still a gap there of a lack of investment in people and growth across the board. This is happening in larger companies as much as it is in smaller companies. When I do corporate training and consulting in a corporation, there are a lot of the same frustrations and pain points that exist in a smaller organization. It looks a little bit different. Hugh: Is that like the Peter principle of people getting promoted to a level of ineffectiveness? Brandon: Absolutely. Hugh: It’s different skillsets as you go up the ladder. However, if you go up the ladder, you know what‘s below that and how the organization works. Where I see death in corporate America is someone comes in a horizontal position for management, but it’s really leadership. With a Harvard MBA, they come in at a leadership level and they have no clue what goes on below them. Brandon: Absolutely. Think about this. One of my favorite leadership books is a book called Derailed by I think it’s Tim Erwin [it’s by James Siegel]. It’s five classic examples of disastrous leadership. One of them ran for president here recently: Carly Fiorina was featured in this book. That is the kind of book you want to be featured in. They talk about Bob Nardelli. Bob Nardelli was the CEO of Home Depot. He took over for Arthur Blank. He came in at a CEO level and did not understand what made Home Depot successful. They had a family environment. It was very down home. What he did was build an elevator that went straight from a private parking garage right to his office so he didn’t have to interact or engage with any employees. He created all these standardized processes and systems that were very cold and antiseptic because he wanted to be commanding and in control as the CEO. Coincidentally, he failed in that leadership assignment, not because he is not a smart guy or not capable, but because he didn’t understand the culture he was coming into and how it operated. He tried to completely change the culture, and the culture won. The culture won out. He lost, and he was fired. It was a colossal failure. Hugh: That’s a huge story. The story you just told of Home Depot is they hired somebody without regard to the culture. They were not a fit for the culture. That, to me, is one of the biggest deficits in hiring. I work with companies on hiring; there is competency, of course, and role and responsibility. The third component is the culture fit. What you just said is huge. It made me think of good leadership. Southwest Airlines, they say they are in the hospitality business even though they are an airline, so they hire for attitude. They hire for the culture. I’m sure they hire pilots just for attitude; that’s probably the number one factor. Everyone you talk to in the organization understands that paradigm. Brandon: Absolutely. I think that’s so important. Hugh: Yeah. Give me a story, for instance, of the impact that you’ve had with a client. You don’t have to use names or initials or locations unless you want to. What kind of results have you seen? I always like the consultant that says, “I’m a turnaround specialist. I turn companies around. I went into a company that was angry and depressed, and when I left, I turned them around. They were depressed and angry.” I haven’t told that in a long time. I am known for telling the same jokes over and over, but that one, there are people like that though. I know you, and I know you have valuable work. You told me I could ask you anything. Unless you would rather not, is there an example of here is where they were, here is how you Brandonized them, you went in and helped them gain the confidence and skills and systems to elevate to wherever they wanted to do. I prefer to say go to the top than go to the next level. You can do it sequentially. Give us a case study. What impact have you seen with your work with a company? Brandon: I will tell you one of my favorite examples. A dental client that I worked with in the Midwest got on the phone with me, and this was the first call. He said, “Brandon, I hate dentistry. I hate my partner. I hate my team. Can you help me?” And I said, “Okay. Let’s take a step back here. What is it about these things you don’t like?” We identified some core things. He said he was dissatisfied with his partnership. My next question for this person is: What conversations or communications have you had with this person about this issue up to this point? It got really quiet on the phone because he said, “You know what? I don’t know if I have ever talked to them about this.” Okay. That is step one. Step two: What kind of a culture do you want? What does the organization look like? What would the ideal organization for you look like, that celebrated the best of what you do, how you do it, and serve your patients at a high level? What does that look like? He had no idea. How do we decide who is a good fit for your organization and who isn’t? Doesn’t know. We started working on those aspects. How do we communicate and connect? Here’s the funny thing about the partner. Totally interested in doing everything he wanted him to do. He was just waiting for someone to ask him and talk to him about it. That was the easy fix. The culture, we identified it and put it together. We identified there were probably two to three team members that were not a cultural fit. Through starting to communicate about what kind of culture we wanted, those people self-selected themselves out of the organization. We brought in new people. Now we have a team fine-tuned and humming along. Their growth through this process, we didn’t come up with any fancy marketing strategies, we didn’t introduce some strategy that no one knows about that is a secret. We were more intentional about our communication. The culture that we wanted and identified where we want to take things. Through that process, they grew 30% in that year. Loved his team. Loved his partnership. Loved his business. It was a huge success. It starts with, as you said, I change leaders so that they can change cultures in their organization. If we change the leadership, we can change a lot of things about the culture and what shows up around that. But it starts at the top. When I was failing as a leader, my boss asked me one time, “Brandon, why are you guys doing so poorly?” I looked at him and did the most leadership thing I could do and said, “My team sucks. If I just had better players, I would win.” And he did a very leadership thing and said, “We’re probably not going to fire your entire team. What else can we do?” That’s where I thought about the skills I’m missing, the feedback I need. I went to one of my team members and sat down with them. They’d been at the company longer than I’d been alive. I said, “Hey, I want some candid feedback. What am I doing wrong?” They said, “Do you really want to know?” I immediately regretted asking as soon as they said that. Do you really want to know? I said, “You know what? I’m committed now. Get it out.” They said, “We don’t like you.” Hugh: Whoa. Brandon: Really hard to hear. I waited until I got to the car before I started crying, mind you. As I went home and thought about that, I thought, What about that feedback is true? How could that be true for me? I can take that feedback and say, “You’re just a bitter old lady,” or I could look at it and say, “What about that is really true? What is it about what I do and lead that needs to change?” I started investing in my own leadership journey and development in a way that I hadn’t before. I stopped assuming that I knew every darn thing about leadership as a young person. Through that transformation process, all I changed was myself. We went from being a mediocre office to one of the top-rated offices in my area. Then I was offered a bigger office as a result of that. I didn’t change anything else but how I showed up in the office and the interactions. That is what I did for the dental client that I just told you about. I did that for myself. That kind of process works. Hugh: You know what? You and I resonate on a lot of stuff. My whole perspective is the orchestra or the choir is a reflection of the leader. What they see is what you get. We want to blame them for poor performance when they are trying to follow us. The old saying is: If the orchestra respects a conductor, they play as the conductor intends. If they don’t respect the conductor, they play exactly as they direct. We are flawed as individuals. That is a very interesting story because we don’t change other people—we change ourselves and people change as a reflection of that. That was exactly what you said. Did I hear it right? Brandon: Yeah, that’s exactly right. Hugh: Leaders want to change everybody else. What you did was change yourself. That was tough feedback. We don’t like you. Brandon: It was devastating. It was devastating to hear it. I was at such a low point because here’s the thing. I had just gotten married. I moved my wife to a city neither of us had ever lived in before. I thought that I was going to get fired, and my wife is going to find out what a loser I am. I am going to be stuck in this city I had never lived in that I really wasn’t sure I wanted to live in. What do I even do? First time I get a leadership assignment, I run it right into the ground and blow it up. It was tough. But that was the exact feedback I needed to hear. I had to subordinate my ego so that I could internalize that and say, “You know what? How do we change this? How do I go from basically killing people’s morale to inspiring and empowering them?” That started that journey. Hugh: That is why you’re doing what you’re doing. Some people would call those failures, but I call them learning opportunities. Brandon: You hope they are. If we have the right mentality about it. Hugh: Right. If we have an open mind to it. Brandon, this is good stuff. It reminds me of the guy who goes to one of his colleagues and says, “What do you think?” He says, “You’re ugly.” He says, “Whoa, I need a second opinion.” “Okay, you’re stupid, too.” Good thing you didn’t ask for a second opinion. Brandon: I had to stop here. Oh my God, that was enough. I’d heard enough. We’re good. Hugh: That’s pretty profound that you were able to take that input and turn it around. I’ll bet when you showed up differently, that person became part of your fan club, part of your support system in a profound way because they felt heard. Brandon: She said that when I left, she would retire. That’s how we ended it. That person who said they hated me said, “When you leave, I’m retiring. I don’t want to work for another boss.” Hugh: You took lemons and made lemonade out of it. You saw that as an opportunity to move past that barrier. Wow. I knew you had a lot of smarts, Brandon, but you are giving me a lot of good stuff today. Brandon: Let me tell you this. I don’t know that all of that transformation came from a good place always. I was very committed to achievement and looking my best. Any feedback was information that I could take to perform at an elite level. I placed a lot of value on performing at an elite level. It didn’t always come from a healthy or good place. That’s why I did it. I’d love to tell you that I just really had this great heart that really wanted to do the right thing. But really what it came down to was my own selfish reasons, which I had to tackle later in my career. Hugh: That’s proof of transparency and self-awareness. You talk about the blind spots. I was speaking after one of your colleagues in Salt Lake City one day. He was out in the crowd and said, “How many people know your blind spots?” There were about three or four hands that go up. He said, “No, you don’t. They are called blind spots!” That was Brett. I thought that was brilliant. People are totally unaware of some of those things and unaware that they are not aware. What challenges do we have for lack of self-awareness with leaders? Is that something you have dialogue on with people? Brandon: Absolutely. You have all sorts of people that get into where they shut themselves off is self-awareness. You have that high achiever who gets their ego wrapped up in their results. I used to be that kind of a person. I am still this kind of a person on some level. This is ongoing work. But because of that, we shut ourselves off to the things around us, and we get so focused on winning. We think because we are winning that we are doing everything the right way or we don’t have anything to learn. Who is going to teach me something? Look how great I’m doing. You have that achiever. Then you have the person on the other end of the spectrum who is really beat down and then adopts the fixed mindset that says, “I don’t want to look bad. I only play in my lane. I only try things I know I’m already good at. I play it safe. I play not to lose, I don’t play to win, but because I have such a scarcity mentality, I’m just going to do the bare minimum here. I don’t want to stick my neck out because I don’t want to see what’s out there.” That person is also shut out of growth and development but for completely different reasons. It’s about identifying how we get into that spot of recognizing, “Hey, there are always opportunities to learn. What is the next lesson for me? How do I tap into that self-awareness for myself? How do I pull outside information to help me uncover blind spots?” That will come from someone else. Recognizing that. Or maybe we have an epiphany where we have a failure that maybe enlightens us to our blind spots. That is such a big part of really winning the inner game of leadership by understanding that self-awareness piece. Hugh: It is huge. I can’t work with anybody who is not willing to talk about that and willing to open up that dialogue and say, “Okay, I don’t know what I don’t know.” I find that the better they are, the more they want to learn. When Jim Rohn used to do speeches he said, “The people driving the expensive cars are right here in the front row. The people driving the Chevrolets and beat-up cars are in the back row. Or they are not here. The people who are high performers want to be better. They are in the front row.” He was a profound influencer. What are the reasons people give you for not wanting to grow their skillset? You work with people who say they want this type of result. Like you, you didn’t know where you had gaps. To me, there are reasons, and there are excuses. What are some of the common fallacies people have about leadership and therefore their own lack of ability to grow? What are some of the lies we tell ourselves or the fallacies that we have? Does that make sense? Brandon: It makes perfect sense. 1) I didn’t learn this in school. 2) I am not predisposed to be this type of a person. Therefore, I can’t be a leader. I need someone else to do it for me. 3) I’m just someone who likes to put my head down and work. I just expect other people to do that around me. I don’t need to build these skills or this leadership. 4) I don’t have time. 5) I can’t afford it. There are tons of reasons and excuses that people give for why they don’t learn more about leadership or invest in it. One of my favorites: I can’t invest in those people because if I do, what if they quit? Then I have just wasted all this time and effort in investing in them, and then they leave. I always remind them of a meme I saw between a CEO and a CFO. The CEO says, “We need to invest more into our people.” The CFO says, “What if we invest more and they leave?” The CEO says, “What if we don’t, and they stay?” It’s getting leaders out of that mentality of: Look, if I invest in these people, then they’ll leave. It’s almost like an abusive relationship. I don’t want this person to know that they can do better, so I am going to make sure that I manage their expectations of themselves to let them know that no one is going to love you like I love you. You will never be good enough for someone else; you’re only good for what we do and what I provide for you. It’s a weird type of thing that leaders sometimes do to keep people from branching out and breaking free of the organization to do other things. It’s very bizarre. Hugh: Wow. Wow. That is bordering on dysfunctional, isn’t it? Brandon: It is. But leaders do this all the time. Hugh: Wow. That’s pretty amazing. Brandon, tell us your website; it’s your company name. It’s newworkrevolution.com? Brandon: New Work Revolution because we are starting a revolution for leadership in organizations. My intention is to continue a revolution of powerful, great leadership in any organization that we touch. Hugh: And you have four daughters. Brandon: Yeah. Hugh: You are a proud father. I have seen pictures of you on social media with your daughters. You appear to be a loving father. Brandon: I try. Hugh: Your podcast is on iTunes. New Work Revolution. Same name. Brandon: Yep. Hugh: I certainly want people to find you. What do they find when they go to newworkrevolution.com? Brandon: A couple things that you’ll notice: there is an assessment you can take if you are a leader, and you want to go through an assessment and you can see how you’re doing. It gets them access to—I know some people don’t like this and don’t do it—but we do a call around that and talk about the assessment. It’s a free call just to assess where someone is at and how they’re doing. We take them through that process. There is an Events tab. You can check out what events we have coming up. We do very intimate workshops here in Salt Lake City, Utah around different areas of leadership. We are doing CEO Business Habits in November. You’ll find information about what we do, how we do it, that kind of stuff. Hugh: I want to encourage people to go visit. We’re coming up to the final part of this interview. Is there a topic I haven’t asked you about that you want to introduce here and say something about? Brandon: I think we covered some really great things as it pertains to leaders. What great leadership looks like. Self-awareness. Those kinds of things. I really feel like we have covered a lot of the good things that I think is pertinent to great leadership. Hugh: You had extremely good answers to my questions, which were not the hardest ones I can think of, but they were the hardest ones I could think of today. I’d like you to ponder on a closing thought, tip, or recommendation for people. Brandon, leadership is fundamentally based on relationships. Communication is also based on relationships. People don’t engage us with money unless they know the value they’re getting, and we have created that trusted relationship. I want to throw that in the arena if you want to comment. After you comment, what is a parting thought you’d like to leave with people? Brandon: Give me your question around trust again just to make sure I understood it. Hugh: Leadership is fundamentally around a relationship, in my world. Respond to that. What’s a closing thought you’d like to leave with people? Brandon: I think the people element is so huge. If we have good people in our world to really help us and support us, we’ve got a lot of great powerful things. I think about times where I have struggled, where I have needed help. Systems and processes didn’t jump in and provide the support I was looking for; it was people who did that. If you want to scale a business or grow an organization, the best way you can do that is have smart, capable people that you invest in that will help you further that. To piggyback off that, you asked for a final thought. My favorite leadership quote is by Lao Tze, who is credited with writing the Dao Dejing: “A leader is best when people barely knew he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say, ‘We did it ourselves.’” We can’t get there without intention, without a philosophy on how we want to lead, on communicating, subordinating our ego, and then stepping back and letting smart, capable people do the work that we hired them to do and that we know they are capable of doing. Hugh: Awesome. I look really good because I hang around smart people like you, Brandon. You’re a gift to your clients and a lot of people I have seen you interact with. Your reputation with people I know is certainly very high. Thank you for sharing the wisdom on this podcast today. Brandon: Thank you for having me, Hugh. It was an absolute pleasure.

Special episode! I recently taught a 4-hour training on the 6 Career and Business Habits that lead to longterm success. In this training, I teach you the first (and most surprising) habit from that training. Here's HOW and WHEN to quit the wrong thing, so that you can focus on what really matters.  #1: Identify what makes you bored or miserable, and that which makes you come ALIVE. #2. Think legacy (and ask yourself this question) #3. Release those who are not ready (and why this one requires a LOT of courage)  Want me to text you when I post new episodes? Just text "podcast" to 818-492-1802. I'll also text you two of our most popular episodes and keep you up to date on our events and when I'm in your city.
