When we first meet business owners, it's kind of like anything else. We try to make ourselves look better than we typically are doing. And so we tell some stories that may or may not be true. In that process of getting to know business owners, we realize that there's a lot underneath the surface that we want to be able to explore—to see, ultimately, for one purpose: to liberate them from chaos and make time for what matters most. We're not impressed by storytelling much anymore because we've heard so many stories. By the time we peel back the curtain, we realize, "Oh, you're just like everybody else." And now we can get to work. Once we realize that, we can really get to work and take the sheen off. I want to explore something that we hear a lot from business owners when they first tell us everything's rosy, everything's good. And then we realize, “I'm not the best communicator. I really kind of stink at it.” Not only that, but my time starts to go away because I feel like I'm having to recommunicate over and over again. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. I mentioned this in the last few episodes, but if you haven't checked out The Dickie & Donnie Show, make sure to do that. It's both on this podcast thread for Business On Purpose and on our My Business On Purpose YouTube channel. You can actually watch them—they're super fun. Two of the coaches at Business On Purpose, who I have the privilege of working with, have a really great show. Dickie and Donnie—that's not their real names, but you'll get it the more you listen. Let's explore the concept of retention in the Big Five Feedback Loop Models. We want to guard our time like we guard our money. How do we do that? Let's root this conversation in communication. It's often a challenge in business owners' lives, and many owners find themselves in a constant state of reaction. They're waking up to chaos, spending their days as little firefighters—putting out fires, throwing Hail Marys, and juggling multiple tasks simultaneously. There's a mindset shift that's necessary to address that challenge. One of the key strategies is implementing what we call an ideal weekly schedule. We want to be great communicators, great budgeters, great job costers, and inventory takers—we want to do really well in the day-to-day tasks of business. But too many times we look up at 6 p.m. and say, “I got nothing done today.” The ideal weekly schedule involves working your week in time blocks. Kind of like Tetris. Remember that game? You got little blocks and you try to fit them in. That's what the ideal weekly schedule looks like. It recognizes that time—not money—is your most valuable asset. You can make more money. You can't make more time. Dietrich Bonhoeffer called time irrevocable. So why not manage it as carefully as your money? Think of your week as a budget of time slots that you allocate to specific tasks. Need time for estimating, sales, outreach, marketing? Then schedule it. Expecting client calls? Set aside time for those, too. The key is to predetermine these time buckets instead of letting others dictate your schedule. If you don't, someone else will—me, anybody else. You might think you need to be available whenever a client calls. That's a red flag. Firefighters and police officers are trained to respond in emergencies. That's not your role. The moment someone else is in charge of your time, you've lost control. I've heard it said that email is someone else's agenda for your day. Do you know the average person spends over three hours a day on email? The same goes for text messages and phone calls. When you feel like you need to be constantly available, ask yourself: is it truly necessary—or is it your ego needing validation? Here's what's likely happening: you're suffering from a disease we've diagnosed called LLVD—Latest Loudest Voice Disease. Sounds gross, right? But it's real. I'll go deeper into that in a future podcast, but for now, bookmark that term. If you heard it and thought, “Yep, that's me,” then it's time to step back and reassess. Remember this: your time is your time, and your calendar should reflect that. Some of you might be thinking, “No, it's not.” But yes, it is. We can go back and forth, but it's still your time. You can do something else with it. There may be consequences, but it's still yours. Until you believe that, you're not in a position to effectively schedule and manage your day. In a future podcast, I'll share a quote by Annie Dillard: “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” You may argue that you need to be available for vendors, customers, or pressing matters. That's fair. But you can still meet those needs within a structured schedule. The goal is to take control of your time and use it intentionally, not reactively. Implementing this blocked schedule approach helps you create a more organized, efficient, and less stressful work environment. It allows you to focus on what matters, avoid interruptions, and ultimately improve productivity and work-life balance. I recently read a book by Dan Martell called Buy Back Your Time—great book. He talks about hiring an assistant to help free you up. After ten years in business, I realized I needed that. We've had people help before, but now we've brought on what we call an implementation assistant. For the first three months, their role is focused solely on me—getting things off my plate so I can do three primary things: coach my small group of clients, develop new tools (like a powerful operating system tool we're building), and do storytelling—podcasts, speaking engagements, and events. Anything outside those three priorities pulls from my time, and I can't get that time back. That's why we brought in support. We now have three scheduled email check-ins daily: morning, midday, and afternoon. Notice: I'm not in my email all day. In fact, I've only checked it two or three times in the last four weeks. And today? It's Monday, and I haven't even looked. But I know it'll be cleared by noon. Why? Because I value my time. We're investing in someone else to help us buy back time—because time is the one thing you can't get back. If you've got questions about any of this, go to businessonpurpose.com/ask. If you're a business owner with three or more employees doing $1M+ in revenue, we'd love to chat for 15–20 minutes. No strings. If you want to know how to work with us, we'll tell you—but only if you ask. Our goal is simple: to help you be liberated from chaos so you can make time for what matters most.  

 Episode Summary: The world tells dads to fight the “dad bod” with crunches and protein shakes. But the real battle isn't against belly fat — it's against passivity, disconnection, and drifting identity. In this special Father's Day episode, Chris and Annie break down 11 traits that define a strong father, using insights from Mind Pump's Fatherhood Episode and Dan Martell's character-first leadership list. These traits go way deeper than fitness. They shape how you lead your family, support your marriage, and show up for yourself — mentally, emotionally, and physically.  What You'll Learn:  Identity Before Action You don't rise to your goals — you fall to your identity. Learn why many dads struggle with purpose and how to rebuild clarity, mission, and personal standards.  The 11 Traits Every Dad Needs (That Have Nothing to Do with Abs): Reliability Kindness Integrity Gratitude Being on Time Humility Patience Self-Awareness Strength & Fitness Inspired by: Mind Pump's fatherhood framework + Dan Martell's “10 qualities I admire more than skills”  Fighting the “Dad Bod” Starts in the Mind What does the emotional/mental “dad bod” look like? Why leadership, not laziness, is the key to transformation What happens when a dad wakes up and owns his role  Marriage + Fatherhood = Leadership Strong dads create strong marriages Strong marriages create safe, loving homes Be the kind of man your kids want to become  Take Action: Reflect: Which of the 11 traits will you double down on this week?

Michael Hoffmann, also known as “Mr. Passive,” is a real estate investor, vending entrepreneur, and advocate for time freedom through smart investing. Starting from humble beginnings in rural Iowa and a 60-hour-a-week coaching job, Mike leveraged a $70,000 fixer-upper into a thriving portfolio—including real estate, vending machines, e-commerce, and Bitcoin mining. He now teaches others how to create scalable passive income using creativity, trends, and delegation.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Mike started his investing journey with a $1,200/month salary and turned a small rental into a life of financial flexibility. He follows a 30-60-90 rule to make every investment passive within the first 90 days. Vending routes and unattended retail offer high-margin, scalable passive income opportunities beyond traditional real estate. He uses trends and automation—like AI-based vending—to identify untapped markets. Asset flexibility and time buyback are central to his investment philosophy.     Topics From $1,200 a Month to Passive Investor Started in college athletics making just $1,200/month while working 60+ hours per week. Bought a $70K turnkey rental and later scaled through 1031 exchanges. Focused early on delegating property management to stay hands-off. Creative Wealth-Building with Real Estate Leveraged 1% rule and capital gains to buy a condo, then pivoted to short-term rentals in high-growth areas. Built and rented out an ADU in Oregon to double rental income from a single lot. Invested in land outside city limits and is developing duplexes permitted as townhomes for long-term flexibility. Unattended Retail: The 21st Century Lemonade Stand Owns 100+ vending machine locations generating $100K/month. Transitioned from old-school machines to smart, AI-enabled retail kiosks offering allergy meds, protein bars, and over-the-counter products. Hires route operators from the gig economy and uses GMs to stay completely passive in the business. Passive Income Across Asset Classes Invests in Bitcoin mining, e-commerce, and unattended markets. Believes in analyzing trends and entering where customer needs are evolving. Inspired by a vending machine experience at an airport that charged $3 for water—realized someone was profiting while he was grinding.    

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me. Dan Martell's book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard! The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team members broke her foot during a major launch and suddenly we realized she was the only one who knew how to do a few key crucial elements of her job. From that moment on, I knew that if we wanted peace, to grow with ease, and to actually protect our people, we had to build the playbooks for each role. So, come along this journey with me while I explain what a playbook is, how we're building them out, and how we're testing them!

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. 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: 1. What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Francesca Moi believes the hardest part of growing a small business is managing people during fast growth. As her team expanded rapidly, she found herself in a managerial role she didn't enjoy. Balancing leadership with structured team management became a challenge. She emphasizes the importance of building the right support to complement your strengths. 2. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Francesca Moi's favorite business book that has helped her the most is "Buy Back Your Time" by Dan Martell. She values it for its practical strategies on delegation and reclaiming time as a business owner. The book deeply resonated with her as she scaled her VA business. It reinforced her belief in building systems and freeing herself from daily operations. 3. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Francesca Moi recommends listening to Alex Hormozi's podcast and reading his book "$100M Offers", which she found incredibly helpful for refining offers and sales strategies. She also enjoys mindset-focused podcasts like those by Brooke Castillo from The Life Coach School. Francesca believes combining business tactics with personal development is key to sustainable growth. 4. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Francesca Moi strongly recommends hiring a virtual assistant (VA) as a key tool to grow a small business. She believes VAs help business owners delegate repetitive tasks, free up time, and focus on high-value activities. By building the right support team, entrepreneurs can scale faster and more sustainably. 5. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Francesca Moi would tell herself on day one: “It's possible.” She emphasizes that in the beginning, she doubted her ability to succeed or even make a single dollar. Her advice is to keep moving forward, trust the process, and believe in your potential—because success comes with persistence.

Surviving a plane crash wasn't part of Attorney Blinn Bates' plan, but it became a pivotal chapter in his life story. A routine flight turned into a near-tragedy and forced a year-long recovery.

He turned the experience into an opportunity to innovate and modernize his family law firm, Woods and Bates. By embracing delegation and systematization, Blinn redefined his leadership style. The firm thrived—even during his extended absence. Using insights from Atticus growth programs, Blinn made a strategic shift. He moved away from a traditional model and created a more sustainable, future-proof law practice. His journey highlights the importance of planning for unexpected challenges and building a firm that doesn't depend on one person. Blinn embraced the shift from task delegation to empowering others. Inspired by Dan Martell's Buy Back Your Time, he aligned work with personal values and long-term goals. Work-life balance became a priority. Blinn shares how reshaping his focus enriched both his family and career. This episode offers valuable insights for any attorney seeking resilience and innovation in their practice. From humorous discoveries in an old desk to practical systems, Blinn's story is both inspiring and actionable. We're grateful for his openness and vulnerability, which will resonate with lawyers facing life-altering challenges.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48  Hi, Be It babe. How are you? How's it going? Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast, the Fuck Yeah Friday podcast. We talk about what is a win and we celebrate things that inspire us, and we have a mantra, and then we go about our day. So here we go, our win, or the inspiration, actually. The, well, I think this is a win too. So the inspiration that I found on the internet that really like made me happy. This, maybe, maybe it will make other people happy, but I love this. The title is What the World's Richest Men Could Learn From the World's Richest Women. And this is from Reshma's Instagram account, and Reshma had the bike face talk I'm pretty sure, and I really love her. So instead of fixating on power, living forever and winning the space race, Melinda French Gates, Laurene Powell Jobs, Anne Wojcicki and Mackenzie Scott are quietly trying to make the world a better place. So this goes on and talks about all the different things that these women are doing, but I just think, like, these ladies, I know, I bet you know their last names, these are our five richest women in the world, and they are doing epic, epic things from with the money that they have, and they're not doing anything to tear people down, to tear down a group of people. They're actually using their money for good. And so I truly, truly love that. These women are doing great things and so you should definitely look them up. There's an article from Laura Craick that was posted on February 5th 2025 so if you want to dive in more to what they're doing, and if you want to learn more about Reshma, I highly recommend it, because she talks a lot about worrying, about being, like, I only have a few minutes to say everything I was gonna say, and then, like, learning and meeting all these male CEOs and going, wait, you run this company, I can run circles around you, like, so it's just, I don't know. I found it really inspiring and I hope that you do, too. So go check that out. And let's all be more obsessed with what these women are doing, because I think that that's going to make us feel a whole lot better in this world with all that's going on. And let's be impressed and empowered and, and all the things from them. And then I'm going to give you one more thing, and I'm going to go into your wins. Lesley Logan 2:53  So meet Marty Goddard, the woman who invented the rape kit, while she didn't receive credit for her work, shocking, she revolutionized sexual assault forensics. Yeah. So get this, in the 1970s, few women felt safe. There's tons of sexual abuse. Spousal rate was still, was still legal, freaking crazy, until 1993. Let's not go into that, that's going to depress us all. But Marty Goddard was a volunteer for a phone hotline for runaway teens in Chicago. Many callers reported sexual abuse, but not necessarily to the police. Marty took upon herself to further investigate cases by visiting crime labs and hospitals, interviewing as many people as possible. And a standard was set. In doing this, she developed a standard by which evidence is collected following a rape. Her evidence collection kit included basic supplies, cotton swabs, a comb, paper bags, labeled envelopes and glass slides for semen specimens, plus protocols, forms and resources for victims, its simplicity made it affordable, replicable and the more likely to be adopted. The kit opened doors to our understanding of victims and abuse. In other words, these cases are no longer had to be a "he said, she said" sort of thing. She was not given credit. Under the nonprofit Goddard was running, the kit was trademarked as the the "Vitullo Evidence Collection Kit for Sexual Assault Examination." She routinely worked very closely with the police department order to make the progress she did, and an effort to not ruffle any feathers, gave the kit the name after police sergeant, Louis Vitullo. Newspapers credited Louis Vitullo, often reducing Marty Goddard to his assistant or ignoring her entirely. But she didn't chase recognition. She channeled her energy into expanding the kit's reach because impact mattered to her more than credit. So why it matters? The mention of the rape kit has helped countless victims find justice. Survivors still fight to be heard, but rape kits provide crucial evidence that strengthens their case. Hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits sit in a police storage. Goddard gave us a tool to fight for justice. It's up to us to push that fight forward with legislative reform funding and by holding law enforcement accountable for processing evidence in a timely manner. So you guys, we do have some work to do there. I would highly recommend calling your local people and like making sure that they're funding these things. But I just thought, how cool is this person? Like she was more she was more obsessed with getting people to adopt this kit and use it so people, victims, could actually get help. So it won't be a "he said, she said" and now she's getting the recognition that she deserves. Very, very cool. Lesley Logan 5:06  Okay, let's go and do a win of yours. So this is from Tami-Adrian George, and she said, a podcast about pickleball reached out to me to be my guest with my topic, Pilates for Players. The invite is a win by itself. And they why they contacted me is its own win. A second host from a completely different topic and show, I guess it's over a year ago, suggested my name with a lovely glow up. Like LL and Brad have said and has mentioned in many webinars, always about keeping in touch. I would comment on the second host post, listen to an episode and comment maybe three or four times a year and they remembered. And when I asked my college boy which friend group he'd be with and where they were going for spring break, he said he just really wants to come home and eat my cooking and curl up with his cats and chill. So cue the mommy tears. You know, I bought that plane ticket so fast. So I love this. How cool is that, that she made such an impact on one podcast and then she stayed in touch by just commenting. And then another podcast was like, oh, we want to have you on. Because the first podcast was like, yeah, this person has stayed top of our mind. So way to stay top of mind. Tam, it's not the easiest thing to do, and you did it. It all takes work, you guys. It all takes time and effort and energy, but stay in touch with people, even little things like liking and commenting. I tell you guys all the time, reviews on this podcast are, like, revenue. If you like this podcast, you don't have to send me money. You can actually just leave a review. Sharing this with other people, that's what does it right? These are things that podcast hosts think about. So way to go, Tami, you're amazing. Lesley Logan 6:37  Okay, so something I wanted to share that's, like, really exciting is I had this goal. So last summer, I heard about this book called Buy Back Your Time, and it's Dan Martell's book. And it's not something I was like, opposed to, like, oh, we always hire so it's not like a thing that we don't do. But he had a chapter about the inbox, about an email inbox, and I between my email inbox and all the Slacks that I'm in and the communities that I'm in, like, there's, I can't get to everything every day, and then I would get into my inbox, or I'd use my inbox to procrastinate, and it would derail the day, because there never would be something in there that wasn't time consuming. And so what his book suggested is that your assistant goes to your inbox and, like, organizes it, and then you only have to respond to the things you have to respond to, and then they can respond to things that they can respond to. I don't need to respond to someone that Tuesday at 1pm is great for a meeting. My assistant can see that 1pm is free. She can just book it for me, right? That's really cool. So anyways, I knew about this last summer, but I didn't have the time to implement it. There were so many things going on. So first of all, the first win is I did not force implementation of this during a time that we had too much going on, right? I set a goal that I wanted to implement this idea in Q1 of 2025, and guess what?, you guys, before mid March, we had, my assistant had, I read the chapter, she read the chapter, she implemented it, and we came up with systems at work before the end of March. So here we are, middle of May, almost end of May. And I can tell you right now I go into my inbox every day, and it can take under 15 minutes to respond to everything and then move on. And I don't feel like, oh my God, what's in there? What am I gonna see? Oh, I'm gonna get distracted by a pair of pants and procrastinate there. So anyways, that's my win. Really made me excited. Lesley Logan 8:14  So now, it's time for your mantra. Here we go. While the world praises big moves, I applaud the little acts of magic that can make it happen. So, while the world praises big moves, I applaud the little acts of magic that that make change happen. You are a badass.

¿Sentís que trabajás todo el día y no avanzás como querés? Hoy arrancamos la serie basada en Buy Back Your Time de Dan Martell, donde te muestro el error más caro que está drenando tu tiempo y tu energía: trabajar sin estrategia real. Te voy a enseñar cómo calcular tu valor hora, eliminar tareas basura y empezar a recuperar tu tiempo para enfocarte en lo que realmente dispara tus ventas y tu negocio.  

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.

He emphasizes that this is about evaluating what you make yourself available for, as saying you are "too busy" might actually mean you are "too available" for less important things. learn how many time management problems faced by business owners, such as dealing with office work, lead management, and answering phones, can be solved by conducting an availability audit.

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/

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).   Today's episode is brought to you by LinkedVA.

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.
