Leadership SIMPLIFIED! with Rhonda Delaney, The People Gardener
Picture this: Your team member approaches with yet another problem needing your solution. Sound familiar? What if there was a way to empower your people while freeing your mind from constant problem-solving? Enter the 1-3-1 method. (Dan Martell's name for it!)This forgotten leadership gem asks employees to define their problem clearly (1), present three potential solutions (3), and recommend their preferred approach (1). The magic happens when you realize your team members often devise better solutions than you could—they're simply closer to the problems with access to better data. By implementing this method, you're training your people to become "the CEO of their desk," taking ownership and making informed decisions that drive your business forward.The 1-3-1 (Dan Martell's name for it!) approach transforms your leadership style and company culture. It dramatically reduces decision fatigue, allowing you to focus on strategic growth rather than daily fires. It demonstrates profound trust in your team's capabilities, showing that you value their intelligence and creativity. Most importantly, it creates a pathway for growth within your organization—employees who excel at problem-solving become prime candidates for increased responsibilities and leadership positions.I witnessed this transformation firsthand in my corporate days. When I took over as operations manager and empowered my production team to make decisions, one employee struggled to believe I genuinely trusted his judgment. After months of reassurance, he finally embraced his decision-making power, revolutionizing his confidence and contribution. This experience confirmed what I've always believed: when people feel truly valued, they become raving fans who have your back and help your business thrive. Ready to rediscover the leadership processes that will transform your team? Let's start with the 1-3-1 method (Dan Martell's name for it!) today.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Mark Wormgoor, CEO and tech coach at The Maverick CTO.Mark shares that despite a successful 25-year corporate career in IT, he felt unfulfilled after reaching his long-term goal early and ultimately chose to go independent. He candidly reflects on the decision-making process behind leaving corporate life, his early startup missteps, and how a failed venture with a co-founder taught him valuable lessons about product-market fit. His initial foray into entrepreneurship eventually led to launching a software development agency and later, a coaching practice focused on tech leadership.Mark explains that his transition into coaching was a natural evolution of the informal mentoring he had done throughout his corporate career. He combined that passion with formal coaching training and inspiration from Dan Martell's hybrid coaching/mentorship style. Today, through The Maverick CTO, Mark helps tech leaders navigate challenges in leadership, team building, and stakeholder management. He emphasizes that charging for coaching not only sustains his business but also deepens client commitment and results.Join us as Mark Wormgoor unpacks why startups should never build without customers in this insightful episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:The Maverick CTOhttps://themaverickcto.com/Mark Wormgoor's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mwormgoor/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Points of Interest00:55 – 01:14 – Meet Today's Guest: Carson Pierce: Carson, a fan favorite at Parakeeto, joins the show to chat about a big shift in the agency world—why more agencies are ditching big teams in favor of lean, contractor-driven models.01:34 – 02:29 – Agencies Are Shrinking Their Core Teams: Carson talks about a growing trend—agencies are keeping their leadership and strategy teams small while outsourcing most of the production work to contractors, freelancers, and offshore talent.03:08 – 05:05 – Why Agencies Are Outsourcing More Work: Marcel breaks down the big reasons behind this shift, including rising salaries, AI shaking things up, a tough economy, and the fact that clients no longer care if their agency is local.06:04 – 07:26 – Why Old-School Utilization Metrics Don't Work Anymore: Carson explains how traditional utilization numbers can be misleading for agencies using more contractors, and why focusing on average billable rate (ABR) is a better approach.08:03 – 10:44 – The Next Big Agency Trend: Internal Specialization: Marcel introduces the idea that agencies should focus on what they do best and outsource everything else—just like other industries have done to stay profitable.12:02 – 14:04 – What Should You Keep In-House vs. Outsource?: Marcel shares a simple way to decide—play to your team's strengths, keep control of the most critical parts of your client experience, and let experts handle everything else.18:02 – 21:08 – Pricing Without Overcomplicating It: Marcel simplifies pricing strategy, explaining why agencies should stop obsessing over markup and hourly rates and instead focus on three things: revenue, pass-through costs, and delivery costs.25:08 – 28:26 – Offshoring: The Good, The Bad, and The Smart Way to Do It: More agencies are hiring offshore talent to save money, but success depends on having solid processes and clear communication—Marcel and Carson share tips on how to do it right.30:51 – 32:44 – The Future of Agencies: Smaller, Leaner, and More Specialized: Marcel predicts that agencies will continue breaking down into specialized teams, just like airlines and grocery chains have done, to survive in a market with shrinking margins.34:22 – 35:04 – Final Takeaways: Marcel and Carson wrap up with a big reminder—profitability isn't just about working harder; it's about working smarter. Agencies that embrace internal specialization and strategic outsourcing will win in the long run.Show NotesConnect with Carson via LinkedInGet access to this model tool in the toolkitLink to Pie Chart VisualizationParakeeto Foundations CourseBooksDigital Dollars and Cents by Jody GrundenFinancial Management of a Marketing Firm by David C.

Are you parenting the way you really want to? My husband, Dan Martell, is back on the podcast today as a guest. In this episode, we're going back to the early days of parenthood and sharing what it was like having two babies in one year. From dealing with postpartum depression to conflicting expectations, it wasn't always an easy journey. Now, reflecting onto those days feels more like looking at great memories and stories to share. Our approach to parenting isn't for everybody, but we're choosing to raise our kids in a way that makes sense for our family. For us, that means teaching them what's important, world schooling them, and allowing them to achieve what they want—not what we want for them. In this episode, you will learn about: How Dan felt having two young kids so close together in age. Dan's favorite age for our kids and what his fondest memories are. What I thought the rules of parenting were (and why I might have been wrong). Dan's best piece of parenting advice. Why it's important to let kids lose, plus the teaching moments that come with it. Why we've decided to world school our kids next year and what that looks like. Why we want our kids to pursue their own ideas of success. Who we look to for parenting advice (and who we don't).

In this episode of the Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast, host Scott Molchan sits down with Ezra McCarthy of Green Frog Web Design to tackle one of the biggest struggles for landscapers—getting stuck working in their business instead of on it. Most landscapers start their business because they're great at what they do, but before they know it, they're buried in the day-to-day grind—sharpening mower blades, handling customer calls, doing estimates, and even bookkeeping. Sound familiar?

In today's episode, I'm sharing a strategy that has transformed how my team tackles big projects: working in smaller, focused groups. Whether you're running a team of 13 like I am or collaborating with peers on a shared goal, breaking into smaller groups can unlock efficiency, foster deeper collaboration, and help everyone take ownership of their role. I discuss how this approach works within my own projects, such as launching Flowerie, our e-commerce shop, and producing Immersion Live, our annual conference. I also introduce two powerful frameworks—Dan Martell's 1-3-1 framework and the 10-80-10 delegation model—that can streamline decision-making and empower your team to work independently while still aligning with your vision. Here's how these concepts come to life: The 1-3-1 framework requires team members to come to you with one problem, three solutions, and one recommendation. It reduces your decision-making burden while strengthening their problem-solving skills. The 10-80-10 model allows you to shape a project's vision, let your team handle the bulk of the work, and return for the final touches. It's all about empowering your team while preserving your creative input. No matter the size of your team, these strategies ensure smoother project execution and foster a culture of trust and efficiency. Tune in to learn how these simple but effective tools can elevate your creative business and help you step into your zone of genius.

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Ilana Wechsler, the hardest thing in growing a small business is when business owners have to wear many different hats and are not large enough to hire people to alleviate the business owner to do what they are best at1. She mentions that this was a struggle that she found herself in and why her growth was not as significant as it could have been. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Ilana Wechsler's favorite business books include "Buy Back Your Time" by Dan Martell, which highlights the power of delegation to scale effectively, Alex Hormozi's "100M Offers" and "100M Leads", which helped her refine lead generation strategies, and Jay Abraham's "Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got", which shaped her focus on maximizing value for existing customers over solely chasing new ones. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Ilana Wechsler recommends several resources for small business growth, including podcasts and online learning tools. She suggests listening to James Schramko's podcast, as he is a long-time mentor, and the podcast "How I Built This"1. For online learning, she highly recommends using Google Ads, noting that while its effectiveness depends on the business type, it can be very beneficial. Additionally, she advocates starting a YouTube channel as a powerful, long-term strategy for business growth that provides stable and lasting results, offering more sustainability than social media. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Ilana Wechsler recommends several key tools and resources for small business growth, primarily focusing on online strategies. She considers Google Ads to be a top recommendation for its effectiveness in reaching potential customers at the point of search, but also emphasizes starting a YouTube channel for long-term, stable results. Furthermore, she stresses the importance of understanding your key business numbers. She also notes that other effective strategies include podcasting and speaking at events. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Ilana Wechsler could go back to day one of starting her business, she would tell herself that it's going to be harder than you think and that she was very naive going in. She would also advise herself to focus on enjoying the journey, because once you reach one goal, you'll just move to the next one. She emphasizes you have to enjoy the journey because you'll never reach a point where you don't want to grow anymore.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 707 Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host, Josh Trent, shares which daily habits will take your life to the next level and help you ease anxiety. Is there a topic that you'd like us to cover in the next AMA episode? Record your message HERE. Listen To Episode 707 As Josh Trent Answers Your Questions [01:55] Track Your Daily Habits The one thing that can absolutely destroy your anxiety and unlock your inner peace in 2025 is to put both your business and your personal in your calendar. I actually use color codes. So I have red and green for my business and I have light blue for my personal. So I have 3 colors that are always circulating in my calendar. Now, why do I do this? Why is it so important? Color is an unconscious representation of an energy or a mood or a vibe. So first and foremost, we'll talk about today how to practically use a calendar and also the resistance that's going to naturally come up because it will so that that calendar can become your mirror of how you're showing up not just for your business but also your if you have a family your children if you have children your husband or wife your boyfriend or girlfriend if you have those or just for yourself. This is how it broke down for me. It was 2017, 2018. And I kept asking the same question to my business all the time. How am I going to do it all? How am I going to do it all? Can you relate? How are you going to do it all? This thought, this question is actually a cover question. The thought is, oh my gosh, am I going to be able to do it all? Hence comes the anxiety. Then the outward projection of that thought that I attach to is, oh my gosh, I feel overwhelmed. How am I going to do it all? But it's actually the wrong question. The question isn't how am I gonna do it all? That's a cover fear anxiety question that actually gives our unconscious to not show up for the people that we love and the business that we love and the life that we love. If you're looking for a life that you love, check out some of the other AMAs that we've done in 2025 and 2024 to get very, very clear on creating the life that you love. But back to the point, it wasn't until I finally had a real serious conversation with a business mentor in 2018 where he asked me, I look at your calendar and I don't see any time for you. And I scratched my head. I was like, what do you mean? It's all time for me. This is the paradigm that I was operating from, but there was no time for my self-love, for my self-care. There was no appointment for Josh to meditate, to do breath work, to do sauna, to do cold plunge, to do yoga, to do movement or stretch. It wasn't in there. I literally had become so fixated on pouring my energy into the podcast and into my business that about the most important part, me or you and I. So this concept that'll transform your life in 2025 and beyond is so simple, but just because it's simple does not mean it's easy. We're gonna go over the easy way that you can do this to actually schedule self-love, schedule self-care as a non-negotiable practice. It is first and foremost the adage that you cannot pour from an empty cup. If that cup is half full, then you only have half of yourself to give to others. If that cup is full, then you can pour all kinds of energy into other people because you have a reserve of energy. But here's the thing... [12:45] Design Your Life How can I design a life that I keep promises to myself inside of? This is really big because it's a ritual. Make it a sacred starting and ending place that has gratitude and that has joy and that has love and that has good vibes in it. 10 minutes, we all have. And if you don't have 10 minutes, you need a serious realization of your life, okay? So first and foremost, use your calendar as an external mirror of how much you love yourself on the inside. Next, you get to address the common barriers and really resistance that you're going to meet as you move forward with this. One thought might pop up, I don't have time. Let's be honest, it's 10 minutes. Everybody's got 10 minutes. The next one is, I feel guilty for taking time for myself. Well, that guilt is actually just another cover emotion, another cover story to keep you stuck. So thank the guilt for being there, let it know that it doesn't have a place at the and move forward higher up the Hawkins ladder and actually keep yourself accountable to your calendar. Or I forget is another one. I forgot to do it. Well, this is the beauty and the simplicity of this #1 hack. It's actually not even a hack, it's a habit. This #1 habit that will literally destroy anxiety for you if you do it. And this is the key, if you do it, you get to set aside 10 minutes for yourself, you get to keep yourself accountable calendar. I like color coding, you don't have to. Put it in your calendar and it's a mirror of your life. Dan Martell was on the podcast and he talked about this. One thing he said to me that just rocked my world, that was actually an affirmation of what I had already known from 2018. He said, show me your calendar and I'll show you life. Show me your calendar and I'll show you your life. I mean, this is why small changes compound over time, right? When you invest a dollar a day into something in 30, 40 years, you can have hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Think about that a dollar a day, a dollar a day. How easy it is for us, for us to spend a dollar on something that isn't healthy? How easy is it for us to not have a calendar appointment remind us of the promise we made to ourselves? Use your calendar and your life will be used by you instead of your life being used by someone else. I really wanna tell you, this is huge. Use your calendar because your calendar is a representation of how you manage time, how you spend your time. It's really big because I want you to imagine this. Close your eyes for a moment. If you're in the car, don't close your eyes, close your eyes, paint a vivid picture of what life feels like after you have this habit. Paint a picture of what it feels like, take a couple of deep breaths, feel how there's no place for anxiety in this environment. Feel how there's no place where confidence can't live, where a sense of control, a sense of being proud of yourself, a sense of healthy pride can live in it. It's one simple thing, but it doesn't mean it's easy. How do we make simple easy?...
