What if the key to clarity was just five minutes of stillness? In this solo episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius Mirshahzadeh reflects on purpose, priorities, and the practices that help him gain direction during life transitions. Inspired by a workshop with his friend and spiritual teacher Dandapani, Darius shares a simple but powerful exercise: taking just five minutes each day to sit in silence and ask, “What do I want out of life?” He opens up about his own process, exploring the feelings he wants to cultivate, the kind of family and professional life he's building, and why recognition, influence, and freedom play important roles in shaping his next big chapter. In this episode, Darius will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Personal Updates (02:55) Exploring Purpose and Focus (05:49) Daily Reflection for Clarity (08:43) Defining Life Goals and Values (11:57) Balancing Professional and Personal Life (14:49) Engagement and Recognition in Work (17:53) Establishing Priorities for the Future Sponsored by: Brevo: Head over to brevo.com/greatness and use the code greatness to get 50% off Starter and Business Plans for the first 3 months of an annual subscription.

Why did you start your podcast? Was it for money, passion, or both? Today, we play a TikTok clip from the Okay Sister Pod that lays out three honest tips for launching a show. Their takes sparked a lively debate. Some agreed that podcasting shouldn't begin with money as the goal, while others argued that it is possible to earn if you approach it with a clear plan and treat it like a business. We also discuss the reality of low early downloads, why consistency matters more than a weekly schedule, and how to reframe your analytics. To close out the week, we keep our Friday tradition alive by sharing and celebrating wins from our community.Episode Highlights: [03:21] TikTok Clip: Okay Sister Pod Launch Tips[06:00] Don't Do It for the Money Debate[09:00] Business Plans, Sponsorships, and Monetization[13:00] Why Podcasting Is Harder Than It Looks[26:00] Slow Growth and Managing Expectations[36:00] Consistency and Communication [41:00] Friday WinsLinks & Resources: Join The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comClip From Okay Sister Pod:www.tiktok.com/@okaysisterpod/video/7362940797903310122It's Amanda Yoa:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-amanda-yoa/id1646444562ReThinking Podcasting by Matt Bliss:https://rethinkingpodcasting.com/episode/alive-internet-theory-and-actually-seeing-your-listenersLate Bloomer Living by Yvonne Marchese:https://www.latebloomerliving.com/Remember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Zweistelliges Wachstum im Vertrieb – wie geht das in einem schwierigen Marktumfeld? Genau das gelingt Schäferbarthold, einem traditionsreichen Kfz-Teile-Großhändler. Im Gespräch mit Michael Möhrer, Vertriebsleiter bei Schäferbarthold, erfährst du, welches besondere Vertriebskonzept hinter diesem Erfolg steckt und warum es gerade in Zeiten des Umbruchs funktioniert. Stell dir vor, du bist in einer Branche unterwegs, die stark vom Wettbewerb geprägt ist und in der Margen und Kundenbeziehungen über alles entscheiden. Genau hier zeigt Schäferbarthold, dass nachhaltiges Wachstum im Vertrieb möglich ist – mit einer klaren Strategie, die sowohl auf persönliche Kundenbindung als auch auf ein innovatives Vertriebsmodell setzt. Ein Kernelement für das zweistellige Wachstum im Vertrieb ist das hybride Vertriebsmodell: Innen- und Außendienst arbeiten eng im Tandem zusammen. Während der Außendienst den persönlichen Kontakt zu den Kunden pflegt, übernimmt der Innendienst die tägliche Betreuung und schnelle Reaktionszeiten. Dieses Modell sorgt für Verlässlichkeit, Nähe und gleichzeitig Effizienz im Vertrieb. Das Besondere: Beide Rollen werden gleichwertig behandelt – ein klarer Unterschied zu vielen Mitbewerbern. Auch das Vergütungssystem ist einzigartig. Schäferbarthold setzt nicht mehr ausschließlich auf klassische Provisionsmodelle, sondern auf individuelle Zielvereinbarungen. So können neue Produktlinien gezielt gefördert und Mitarbeiter flexibel gesteuert werden. Das schafft Motivation und Klarheit – und fördert gleichzeitig gesunden Wettbewerb innerhalb des Teams. Ein weiterer Erfolgsfaktor für das zweistellige Wachstum im Vertrieb: persönliche Beziehungen. Während viele Unternehmen Angst haben, dass zu enge Bindungen zwischen Verkäufer und Kunde ein Risiko darstellen, sieht Schäferbarthold darin einen klaren Wettbewerbsvorteil. „Ich kaufe bei Manni“ ist hier keine Schwäche, sondern ein Beweis für Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit. Die starke Bindung der Mitarbeiter ans Unternehmen sorgt zudem dafür, dass Kunden auch langfristig treu bleiben. Dazu kommt eine besondere Rolle im Vertrieb: der „Außendienstleiter“. Er ist kein klassischer Vorgesetzter mit disziplinarischer Macht, sondern ein Coach und Trainer, der Wissen weitergibt und neue Mitarbeiter begleitet. Dieses Modell fördert Wissenstransfer, Motivation und eine starke Vertriebskultur. Im Podcast sprechen wir auch über die Zukunft der Branche. Elektrofahrzeuge, alternde Fahrzeugbestände und eine zunehmende Konsolidierung im Aftermarket stellen Herausforderungen dar – gleichzeitig ergeben sich Chancen für Unternehmen, die flexibel und kundennah agieren. Schäferbarthold ist hier bestens aufgestellt und wächst seit Jahren zweistellig. Wenn du lernen willst, wie auch dein Unternehmen zweistelliges Wachstum im Vertrieb erreichen kann, dann solltest du in diese Episode unbedingt reinhören!

Wellness work isn't about collecting more certifications—it's about integrating what you already know. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to coaches, yoga teachers, and wellness practitioners who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck. I dive into why so many of us feel like we're drowning in tools but starving for strategy—and how embodiment, nervous system awareness, and community can change everything. You'll learn:

Energiewende Deutschland Batteriespeicher – darum geht's in dieser Episode mit Energieunternehmer und Autor Gerd Schöller. Zuerst räumen wir Mythen beiseite, danach übersetzen wir Fakten in konkrete Schritte für Unternehmen.   Energie bleibt der Treibstoff für Wachstum; zugleich sorgt die Debatte für Unsicherheit. Einerseits hören wir Warnungen vor Blackouts, andererseits sehen wir enorme Fortschritte bei Erneuerbaren. Genau deshalb ordnen wir ein: Was ist Panik, was ist Physik – und was ist Politik?   Warum Batteriespeicher jetzt der Hebel sind: Sie glätten Erzeugungsspitzen, verhindern Lastspitzen und stabilisieren das Netz. Außerdem lassen sich Preisspreads gezielt nutzen. Dadurch steigen Planbarkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit. Gleichzeitig ermöglicht bidirektionales Laden, dass E-Autos als flexible Speicher dienen. Somit entsteht ein neues Ökosystem aus PV, Ladelösungen und Smart Metering.   Wo es noch hakt: Zwar ist die Technik vorhanden, jedoch bremsen Prozesse, Genehmigungen und Schnittstellen. Hinzu kommt, dass der Smart-Meter-Rollout vielerorts träge wirkt. Folglich verlieren Projekte wertvolle Monate. Damit die Energiewende in Deutschland mit Batteriespeichern skaliert, brauchen wir vereinfachte Standards, klare Zuständigkeiten und kürzere Fristen.   Konkrete Schritte für Unternehmen: Erstens solltest du den Stromeinkauf strategisch aufstellen; insbesondere eignen sich PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) für planbare, wettbewerbsfähige Preise. Zweitens lohnt sich Lastmanagement: Wenn Prozesse flexibilisiert werden, sinken Kosten unmittelbar. Drittens denke Energiewende Deutschland Batteriespeicher als Gesamtsystem: PV + Speicher + Ladeinfrastruktur + Steuerung – und zwar aus einem Guss. Viertens: Messe, analysiere und steuere Verbräuche kontinuierlich; nur so erkennst du schnelle Hebel.   Realistische Einordnung statt Alarmismus: Selbstverständlich bleibt der Umbau komplex; trotzdem zeigen zahlreiche Projekte, dass er wirtschaftlich tragfähig ist. Darüber hinaus entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle – vom Spitzenlast-Management bis zu Flexibilitätsmärkten. Wer jetzt handelt, verschafft sich folglich einen Vorsprung bei Kostenstabilität, Resilienz und Nachhaltigkeit.   Der Blick nach vorn: Schritt für Schritt wachsen Erneuerbare, während Speicher und digitale Zähler die Volatilität ausgleichen. Gleichzeitig werden Prosumer-Modelle alltagstauglich. Deshalb geht es weniger um Ob, sondern um Wie und Wann. Entscheidend sind Tempo, klare Verantwortlichkeiten und eine Prise Mut, Projekte wirklich umzusetzen. Schließlich zahlt sich das nicht nur ökologisch, sondern vor allem betriebswirtschaftlich aus.   In der Folge bekommst du also den roten Faden: von der Einordnung über die Blockaden bis zu praxistauglichen Lösungen. Hör rein, setz die nächsten Schritte um – und mache die Energiewende zu einem Wettbewerbsvorteil.

Verkaufen an Ärzte – Insider-Tipps und Trends aus der Praxis!   Zunächst boomt der Gesundheitsmarkt, denn immer mehr Leistungen wandern in die ambulante Versorgung. Trotzdem wird Verkaufen an Ärzte schwieriger: Klassische Kaltakquise über Außendienst oder Telefon greift immer seltener. Deshalb spreche ich mit HNO-Arzt, Unternehmer und KI-Enthusiast Alvar Mollik darüber, wie du heute wirklich in Praxen reinkommst – und zwar mit relevanten Mehrwerten statt Floskeln.   Alvar ist nicht nur praktizierender Arzt, sondern auch Gründer von felia.ai. Die Plattform wiederum bringt einen smarten Sprachassistenten in den Praxisalltag, wodurch Dokumentation einfacher wird und Prozesse messbar schneller laufen. Außerdem analysieren wir, wie sich der Zugang zu Praxen verändert hat und weshalb Vertreter scheitern, wenn sie keinen konkreten Nutzen mitbringen.   Die größte Hürde im Praxisbetrieb bleibt Zeit. Zwischen Dokumentation, Abrechnung und Wartezimmer bleibt kaum Raum für Verkaufsgespräche. Genau deshalb punktet KI: Felia verwandelt Sprachaufzeichnungen direkt in strukturierte Arztbriefe, dabei bleibt alles DSGVO-konform. Dadurch erhöhst du den Return on Time der Praxis – und damit deine Abschlusschancen.   Außerdem sprechen wir über Gatekeeper: MFA entscheiden häufig, ob du überhaupt durchkommst. Stattdessen mit Druck zu arbeiten, brauchst du Höflichkeit, eine klare Nutzenbotschaft sowie kurze, strukturierte Abläufe. Walk-ins funktionieren weiterhin – wenn du Praxiszeiten respektierst, Material mit echtem Mehrwert dalässt und anschließend einen präzisen Follow-up sicherst.   So überwindest du Skepsis: Erstens zeigst du Referenzen aus vergleichbaren Praxen; zweitens bietest du einen Test unter realen Bedingungen an; drittens rechnest du den Zeitgewinn konkret vor. Somit wird ein 10-Minuten-Demo-Call, der täglich 30 Minuten Dokumentation spart, zum No-Brainer. Kurzum: Vertrauen schlägt Features – deshalb lieber Ergebnisse zeigen als Buzzwords.   Danach schauen wir nach vorn: Vernetzte Praxissysteme, digitale Patientenakten und Wearables werden Standard. Gleichzeitig bleibt Datenschutz kritisch; daher zählen transparente Prozesse, saubere Auftragsverarbeitung und schneller Support. Wer reibungslos integriert und Störungen minimiert, gewinnt langfristig. Schließlich entscheidet nicht die schönste Demo, sondern die stabile Anwendung im Praxisalltag.   Mein Fazit: Willst du im Gesundheitsmarkt wachsen, dann fokussiere dich auf messbaren Nutzen, glasklare Kommunikation und ein kompaktes Onboarding. Damit wird Verkaufen an Ärzte vom Zufallsspiel zum planbaren Prozess. Wenn du Berater, Vertriebler oder Gründer bist, bekommst du in dieser Episode konkrete Schritte, Formulierungen sowie Tools, mit denen du unmittelbar starten kannst.

Absage in 10 Sekunden! Diese 7 Fehler zerstören den ersten Eindruck im Bewerbungsgespräch   Der erste Eindruck entscheidet – oft in wenigen Sekunden. Deshalb ist die Startphase im Interview kein Smalltalk, sondern die halbe Miete. Ich erlebe es immer wieder: Noch bevor die erste Fachfrage kommt, hat sich beim Gegenüber bereits ein Bild gefestigt. Die gute Nachricht: Mit Vorbereitung, klarer Struktur und kluger Kommunikation steuerst du diesen Moment aktiv.   Warum ist das so wichtig? Weil Haltung, Auftreten und Relevanz sofort sichtbar sind – lange bevor dein Lebenslauf zählt. Außerdem schaffen starker Einstieg und souveräne Selbstvorstellung Vertrauen. Wenn du typische Stolperfallen vermeidest, sammelst du direkt Pluspunkte und legst die Basis für ein konstruktives Gespräch.   Die 7 Fehler, die deinen ersten Eindruck ruinieren – und wie du sie vermeidest   1) Zu spät (oder zu früh) kommen. Plane vorausschauend und sei idealerweise 10–15 Minuten vorher da; dadurch hast du Puffer, senkst den Puls und wirkst professionell. 2) Falscher Dresscode. Orientiere dich an Position und Kultur; im Zweifel minimal overdressed. So bleibst du flexibel und kannst Jackett oder Krawatte notfalls ablegen. 3) Ungepflegtes Erscheinungsbild. Saubere, gebügelte Kleidung, ordentliche Frisur und gepflegte Hände – dadurch signalisierst du Respekt und Einsatzbereitschaft. 4) Schwache Körpersprache. Aufrechte Haltung, ruhige Stimme, klarer Blickkontakt und ein authentisches Lächeln zur Begrüßung. Dadurch vermittelst du Souveränität – ohne Arroganz. 5) Negatives Warm-up. Kein Jammern über Bahn, Stau oder Wetter. Antworte stattdessen kurz, positiv und fokussiert: „Danke, alles gut gefunden – ich freue mich auf das Gespräch.“ 6) Selbstvorstellung ohne Relevanz. Vermeide Lebensgeschichten. Führe lieber in 60–120 Sekunden durch 2–3 Stationen, die exakt zu den Kernaufgaben passen – inklusive messbarer Erfolge. 7) Kein „Warum wir und warum diese Rolle?“ Liefere 2–3 handfeste Gründe (Markt, Verantwortung, Technologie, Internationalität). Dadurch wird Motivation greifbar.   Pro-Tipp für deine Self-Intro: Lies die Stellenanzeige aufmerksam und mappe die Top-Anforderungen 1:1 auf deine Ergebnisse. Beispielsweise: „Projekt X unter Zeitdruck termingerecht geliefert, Budget eingehalten, Stakeholder wöchentlich synchronisiert.“ Dadurch erzeugst du Relevanz und belegst Leistung.   Zusätzlich hilft eine klare Dramaturgie: Zunächst begrüßen, dann kurz Positionierung („Was kann ich besonders gut?“), anschließend 2–3 Belege, schließlich dein „Warum diese Rolle“. Danach bist du in einem starken Frame: professionell, positiv und vorbereitet. Entsprechend verlaufen auch die Fachfragen strukturierter – und deine Zusage-Wahrscheinlichkeit steigt.   Unterm Strich gilt: Wer Auftakt, Auftreten und Argumentation bewusst gestaltet, gewinnt das erste mentale Duell im Raum. Also: Trainiere den Einstieg, teste Formulierungen laut und hole dir Feedback – dadurch eliminierst du Unsicherheiten und punktest ab Sekunde eins.

How to Rebuild Your Business with IntuitionIn Part Three of the 'Reversal Arc' series, Kim dives deeply into insights about what lies beyond traditional business strategy. Drawing from decades of leadership, boardroom strategy, consulting, and her work as a Strategic Oracle, Kim unpacks why even the best strategies sometimes fall short — and what you can do about it.This episode dives into how restoring your true rhythm, uprooting misalignments, and reclaiming your unique signal help you shape an authentic, potent business and life. If you find yourself “doing all the right things” and still feeling unsatisfied or stuck, this episode will help you see what's missing and what to do next.Key Episode HighlightsThe Limits of Traditional StrategyEven perfectly executed strategies, forecasts, and models can fail if they're built on misalignment, distortion, or false signals.Boardroom presence and negotiation success hinge on reading the unseen dynamics — not just following steps and strategy.The Power of Restoration and RhythmTrue transformation happens when you restore your original rhythm, not by adding more tactics or effort.Success is rooted in knowing and owning your unique signal, rather than chasing cultural norms or other people's business models.Moving Beyond Coaching and Consulting LabelsThe transformation that occurs when you reclaim your core cannot be categorized as coaching or standard consulting — it is deeper: restoring systems, fortifying foundations, and activating your original architecture.This allows you to break patterns of mistrust, self-doubt, and susceptibility to external pressures.Action Steps for ListenersReflect on where your current strategy may rely on outdated or unaligned beliefs.Journal on moments where your intuition pointed out a hidden truth in business or personal decisions.If this episode stirred curiosity, consider applying for activation or entering our Vault.Stay ConnectedIf you enjoyed this episode of The Strategic Oracle and want more practical wisdom that blends soul, rhythm, and real-world results, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Send us a textIs the economy heading for a soft landing… or a “touch-and-go”? Scott Meyers is joined with economist Mark Vitner, to unpack why commercial real estate got overpriced during the low-rate era, how self-storage cap rates often move differently from other asset classes, and what falling market rates plus clearer tariff policy could mean for deals ahead.Vitner flags a likely 75 bps easing path and a housing cool-stress-relief scenario (mortgages in the 6–6.5% band), with meaningful improvement showing up around April next year.  He also maps migration winners (Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia; continued heat in Dallas, Houston, Miami, Charlotte, Raleigh) and why that churn is good for storage—plus practical advice for operators and new investors alike. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR7:01 How ultra-low rates inflated CRE values8:40 Why self-storage cap rates can buck the trend13:55 Vitner's “touch-and-go” landing and 75 bps roadmap27:51 Florida's out-migration—and the Carolinas surge29:28 Today's hottest metros for storage demand  Leave a positive rating for this podcast with one click CONNECT WITH MARK VITNERLinkedIn | Website CONNECT WITH USWebsite | You Tube | Facebook | X | LinkedIn | Instagram Follow so you never miss a NEW episode!

Fehler im Online-Interview – dieser unbewusste Stolperstein kostet dich Einladungen zum Live-Gespräch. Doch die gute Nachricht ist: Mit wenigen Anpassungen löst du das schnell.   Du kennst das: Eigentlich läuft es gut, doch am Ende kommt die Absage. Häufig liegt es nicht an deinen Skills, sondern am Setup. Deshalb zeige ich dir heute, wie du den größten Fehler im Online-Interview vermeidest und sofort professioneller wirkst.   1) Zunächst: Licht first. Schlechte Ausleuchtung killt Vertrauen. Deshalb vermeidest du Gegenlicht und nutzt weiches Licht leicht seitlich von vorn. Ein kleines Ringlicht plus Schreibtischlampe reicht oft. Dadurch wirkt dein Bild ruhig, klar und kompetent.   2) Außerdem: Hintergrund ordnet Aufmerksamkeit. Keine Küchen-Spüle und kein wuseliger Coworking-Space. Stattdessen wählst du eine ruhige Wand, ein aufgeräumtes Regal oder ein neutrales Bild. Virtuelle Hintergründe funktionieren gelegentlich, jedoch lenken sie oft ab – real ist meist besser.   3) Danach: Augenhöhe & Blickkontakt. Heb den Laptop auf Augenhöhe, denn so sprichst du in die Linse statt am Monitor vorbei. Dadurch erhöhst du Präsenz und Souveränität – sofort spürbar.   4) Weiter: Technik stabilisieren. Teste Kamera, Mikro und Tools vorab; schließe unnötige Programme; verhindere Updates. Daher ist ein LAN-Kabel oder ein Hotspot als Fallback sinnvoll. Außerdem empfehle ich den Rechner statt Handy – Bildausschnitt und Bedienung sind einfach besser.   5) Wichtig: Es gibt keine „Vorgespräche“. Jedes Erstgespräch ist ein echtes Interview. Folglich gelten Dresscode, Vorbereitung und Unterlagen wie vor Ort. Du bekommst nun mal nur eine Chance für den ersten Eindruck.   6) Zudem: Bildausschnitt & Körpersprache. Sitz zentriert, Schultern sichtbar, Haltung aufrecht. Dadurch wirken deine Aussagen ruhiger. Zeige die Hände gelegentlich, denn das schafft Vertrauen und unterstreicht Kompetenz.   7) Nicht zuletzt: Audio > Video. Ton schlägt Bild, weil Verständlichkeit entscheidet. Deshalb bringt ein einfaches externes Mikro (Lavalier oder USB) sofort mehr Autorität. Dezente In-Ears sind okay, wuchtige Headsets dagegen stören. Gegen Hall helfen Teppiche und Vorhänge.   Praxis: 5-Minuten-Generalprobe. Teste Bild, Ton, Hintergrund und Screen-Sharing mit einem Freund. So reduzierst du Nervosität und sicherst Stabilität. Anschließend gehst du entspannter ins Gespräch und punktest von Beginn an.   Fazit: Der größte Fehler im Online-Interview ist nicht deine Kompetenz, sondern der Gesamteindruck deines Setups. Wenn Licht, Hintergrund, Blickkontakt, Technik und Ton sitzen, dann spielst du sofort in einer anderen Liga – und deshalb steigen deine Zusage-Chancen deutlich.

Subscribe to the show and get weekly tips from Tanya on how to grow, scale and diversify your online business. This summer, I hit pause on social media—and not just for a quick weekend. I took a full-on break to recharge, focus on family, and double down inside my Digital Creator Studio community. In this episode, I'm sharing why I stepped back, what I worked on behind the scenes, and the focus strategy that's helping me (and my clients) grow faster without burning out. You'll hear a real coaching conversation I had with one of my clients, where I walked her through cutting out the noise, narrowing in on the one thing that would actually move her business forward, and saying “no” to even the good opportunities that don't align with her goals. If you've been juggling endless ideas, feeling pulled in a million directions, or wondering how to hit your income goals without working 24/7, I think you'll find this episode incredibly freeing.   START HERE | Learn more about the different ways Tanya can help you in your business.

You know what most business owners do in August? They coast. They slow down. They “wait until September” to get serious. And then they spend the first month of Fall playing catch-up while the clients… the opportunities… the profits… pass them by. I'm not letting that happen to you. That's why I just dropped a brand new episode of the Breadwinning Business Women podcast: Prep Your Business for a Profitable Fall (My SIMPLE 5-Step Routine) Inside, I'm breaking down exactly what to do right now to: Set clear sales targets that make your Q4 revenue predictable Lock in the marketing moves that actually bring in ready-to-buy leads Prioritize only the projects that matter (and park the rest) Identify the team support you need to make it happen Adjust your schedule so you're in control — not your calendar If you want Fall to be your most profitable season yet, this is the plan. Because the truth is… Fall belongs to the business owners who prepared for it in August.

Ever feel like your mistakes are holding you back? My guest today says they might just be your greatest asset. Kim Perrell is a wildly successful entrepreneur, angel investor, and now author of Mistakes That Made Me a Millionaire. In this candid conversation, Kim pulls back the curtain on the failures, missteps, and humbling moments that paved the way to her $235 million company sale — and how you can turn your own stumbles into stepping stones. We talk about why job security is a myth, the “70% rule” that helped her overcome perfectionism, how to stop self-rejecting, and why business is always personal.

I like to walk my dog, but the other day when the time came, I decided not to. The disappointing reason was that when I looked outside, I could see lightning and hear thunder. At the same time, I saw my neighbor outside walking his dog and looking very unconcerned. I later learned that during the storm lightning caused a fire in a house near ours. I did not regret my decision not to go outside, but I do not think my neighbor regretted his (he was unscathed by lightning, and his dog was able to go on schedule). We all have levels of awareness when we are more aware of foreseeable, adverse consequences and decide to take, or avoid taking, certain actions to reduce risk. My neighbor's risk level was higher than mine, and his actions were different from mine. Had we both watched lightning strike ground between our houses, our actions might have been the same. Business owners perceive the foreseeable, adverse risks of small business in different ways. Some owners, even though they are indispensable to the success of the business, choose to do nothing about the foreseeable, adverse risk that something may happen to cause them to leave the business with a negative result to the business. Death and disability are the most common risks but there are many others including changes in personal interests, family issues, and aging. Many owners are comfortable ignoring this risk, but most should not be. There are ways to reduce the risk of the foreseeable eventual withdrawal of an owner indispensable to the business. There should be employees, not owners doing the indispensable management and operational tasks that the owner is doing. Ideally an owner should not have management or operational tasks to perform in the business and should not be indispensable to the business. Not only does having an owner doing tasks indispensable to the business put the business future in jeopardy, but it also makes the business less valuable. A sophisticated buyer of the business will not pay the maximum value for the business if the continued success of the business requires the selling owner to stay involved. There should be a written plan describing the decision-making process, strategy, entity selection, governance, owner buy-sell provisions, and succession provisions. The creation of this plan by using a decision-making process that becomes embedded in the culture of the business involves documenting a strategy that recognizes the values of the owners as they relate to the business, describing the goals that emanate from those values, and identifying actions to be taken to reach those goals. The implementation of such a plan is described in detail in the Owning a Business Substack at rickriebesell.substack.com. The strategy of obtaining maximum value from owning a business is Prior Diligence. The planning is implemented through Dynamic Planning.

I did not see this coming... but yes, I made an AI course—and in this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes. If you're skeptical about AI (like I was), or curious about how technology can actually support your intuition, creativity, and nervous system regulation, this conversation is for you. I'm sharing the full backstory of how this course was born, what makes it radically different from other AI trainings, and why I believe heart-led entrepreneurs need a feminine, ethical, and relational approach to tech right now. You'll hear about:

What if your 15-page business plan is doing more harm than good? In this episode, I break down why traditional business plans fail—and what to do instead. I share the “Plan Like Bezos” approach we teach in our workshops, including how to build a flexible, focused 12-month strategy that fits on a single sticky note. If you've ever written a business plan and never looked at it again, this episode will show you a smarter way to plan, act, and grow. In this episode, we'll cover: Why Most Business Plans Fail – The flaw in trying to plan 12 months out with incomplete info. The Flywheel Model – How high-performing companies (like Amazon) use this approach to create real momentum. My Personal Flywheel – A behind-the-scenes look at how we use content, coaching, and client stories to drive growth. Sticky Note Simplicity – Why a clear, focused plan beats a bloated one every time. The Debt Monkey Mistake – A story about building a business on spreadsheets instead of systems—and what I learned from it. The world changes fast. Your business plan should be flexible, focused, and easy to act on. Build a flywheel—not a binder.
