When it comes to scaling successful startups, Seth and Trevor have discovered that the difference in feeling fired up and running on empty has everything to do with taking a deeper look at motives we might not be aware of and less about our goals & achievements.

Where did we get the idea that when it comes to leadership, we’ve got to carry our burdens alone? Sometimes it’s so easy for us to become siloed in our businesses, to get so lost in the weeds that we begin to lose sight of what made us successful in the first place. When this happens, you need a coach. For nearly two decades, Greg Salciccioli has coached and consulted leaders to realize their goals and improve their own leadership, their teams, and organizations.

Hiring & Firing. These two words can bring anxiety and other mixed emotions to any business owner. It’s never easy, it’s not always fun, and there’s plenty of room for error.

Today, I’m going to teach you a framework for Solving Problems. One of my favorite leadership questions is, “What problem are we trying to Solve?”  Life is full of problems and nothing important gets done until some ambitious person gets a bit fed up and says… “I’m going to fix that.” This framework is tried and true and can be applied to any area of your business. Listen, learn, and implement!   The Conversation: 01:49 - Moment of Truth: Comparison is the thief of joy. 05:57 - Step #1: Face the problem.

Assess the tools you have to work with. What are the resources that I can access as a solopreneur or corporate executive? 10:22 - Step #5: The Plan. An assessment of the realistic resources you have should come first. 11:49 - Step #6: The Management Phase. Why do good plans sometimes fail to lead to results? 13:18 - Step #7: A Feedback Loop.

I invited my mentor and close friend Seth Buechley out to my house this past weekend to talk about what we’re learning on our journeys as entrepreneurs, some of the growing pains with scaling Carrot (#599 on the Inc 500/5000 & Oregon’s fastest growing software company) and what we’re doing in order to lead our teams well and continue building valuable businesses. Seth has sold multiple companies worth hundreds of millions of dollars, is the CEO of Cathedral Consulting, and the host of the Business Done Right podcast. 3:36 - Once you have a vision for your future, your dreams will begin to materialize quicker. Think long term for your family and your business - create a life list! Where do you want to wake up in 5, 10, 25, 50 years? The life I was living as a serial-entrepreneur and freelancer actually wasn’t the life I wanted.   7:27 - If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you tend to “cycle” every 3-5 years or so and get bored or distracted by the next big thing. We need to practice patience and persistence and focus on what resources that we have right in front of us in order to be successful. Become an expert in one thing before branching out and focus on niching down in your industry.   15:59 - Make yourself “less relevant”. Being a great leader sometimes means taking a step back and empowering your team to step in. Learn how Trevor has created systems and processes that have allowed him to gain more freedom and flexibility, while still being the voice of the brand. 23:31 - Leaders must make tough decisions. When we avoid them, we put the successes of our business, our team, and ourselves at risk. Hear why turnover is a sign of a healthy culture... to a certain point.   28:17 - What’s the difference between transactional leadership and transformational leadership? Transactional leadership worked for Trevor until Carrot hit around the $1 million revenue mark. It’s reacting and delegating. It’s creating basic processes for how to complete tasks. Transformational leadership is empowering and unleashing your team, ultimately freeing you up from small tasks. It’s done by asking “What’s the outcome we're looking for? and What’s the way we measure success? And “What’s blocking you?” Write down where they're blocked and invest in the time to train them on decision making - design a process that guides them through the right questions to ask.   46:20 - I used to say I wasn’t a morning person. A habit tracker is the key tool that helped me change that.... and I’ve never even been good at habits!   52.34 - Accountability is misconstrued. You can create it for yourself through social pressure, measurements, and honesty. Habits that get you thinking about things differently.   Full show notes at: https://carrot.ly/_KUI

Trevor Mauch is back with us for part two of our interview where we break down everything from habits to coaching to mindset - everything we’re doing to stay consistent and focused while successfully lead our organizations.

We have an invigorating conversation about the growing pains he’s had to go through and why, unlike his past ventures, he can still see himself running this company 5-10 years out. The Conversation: 6:08 - What’s the difference between transactional leadership and transformational leadership?

You can create it for yourself through social pressure, measurements, and honesty.  33:06 - Let’s wrap it up. Consistency can be perceived as boring.
