Podcasts about greatest self made business icons

Our latest guest, Ken Hannaman, certainly hasn't gone down the “traditional” route in life. Even though he was a decent student as a teenager, he dropped out of high school. But it's what he's done in the years since — moving all the way up to corporate leadership positions at some of the most recognizable names in restaurants — that makes his journey unique.    Ken is the Founder and Possibility Mindset Coach at Ungraduated Living, as well as a corporate executive leader of 400+ restaurants.    Listen to the full conversation for more on Ken's journey after dropping out of high school, why a business's success will almost always hinge on one specific metric, the top reasons people don't reach their goals, how to shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, and more.   Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn:    How Ken has not followed the “typical life pattern,” including his journey to “abundance” after dropping out of high school  Why your own results and behavioral skills can mean more than your pedigree, and whether Ken has ever experienced challenges because he wasn't a high school grad How Ken inspires other people through his journey and helps them see what's possible for their future One of the most important metrics that informs whether a business will be successful, according to Ken's experience  Tips for keeping retention high at an organization  One of the most gratifying and humbling experiences Ken consistently has in his career  How to drive consistent results within a business  Why results depend so much on the manager of an organization  The top reason people never make it to the next level or reach their goals, and why people should turn towards their fear if they hope to realize their full potential How Ken helps people move past their fear and why it “can't be all about you” How to “become your own currency” The Japanese concept of “ikigai” and why it's so helpful in someone's journey to meeting their full potential  The mindset of lack vs the mindset of abundance, and how that mindset shift can transform your life and career Why and how Ken delegates in order to make the most of his time, plus the concept of “habit-stacking”   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:  Ungraduated Living  Ken Hannaman on LinkedIn “Ungraduated: Finding your why and dropping out of outdated belief systems” by Ken Hannaman Ungraduated Living on Twitter Ungraduated Living on Instagram Ken Hannaman on Facebook “The Dream Manager” by Matthew Kelly “Business Brilliant: Surprising Lessons from the Greatest Self-Made Business Icons” by Lewis Schiff “Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones” by James Clear “The Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level” by Gay Hendricks “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment” by Eckhart Tolle “The Surrender Experiment: My Journey into Life's Perfection” by Michael A.

“Every person has the opportunity to discover what their language is in the business world. The more time they spend living that language, the better they will do.” — Lewis Schiff   Being an entrepreneur gives you the freedom to get hands-on in every area of business. The best entrepreneurs learn which parts they excel at and which ones are better left to someone else — and they do as much of what they're good at as they can. Lewis Schiff calls this the first habit, and it's just one of many pieces of wisdom he's picked up over two decades and counting in business. Schiff sold two websites in the era of the dot-com boom, but it wasn't until he became an author of books including The Armchair Millionaire, Business Brilliant and The First Habit that he really started to understand the unique challenges that come with being an entrepreneur. Schiff is also the chairman of the Board of Experts for the Birthing of Giants fellowship: a program that schools business owners with companies making $5 million to $250 million in revenue on how to reach the next level.  He is also the executive director of Moonshots and Moneymakers, a conference produced by Birthing of Giants and Oxford University that shows entrepreneurs billion-dollar opportunities inside their markets — or even their own companies. In this episode of Leading With Genuine Care, you'll learn how the first habit can help you and your employees, how —and why — to know whether you're operating a moonshot or a moneymaker, and why making yourself the lynchpin of your company is a design flaw. You'll also learn: Why entrepreneurship is a journey to self-discovery Why Lewis' view of the Manhattan skyline made him feel lonelier than ever during the pandemic How a janitorial business was able to create 10x more value through one of Lewis' programs How you figure out what you're best at (hint: it's not easy!) Why you shouldn't take your skills for granted What Lewis found out in his research on wealth Why asking great questions makes you the most valuable person in the room Lewis' (controversial) take on the best way to build a strong leadership team   Connect with Lewis Schiff Facebookfacebook.com/lewisschiffmentor    Twitter twitter.com/lewisschiff    LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/lewisschiff/    Learn More From Lewis Schiff   Apply to Birthing of Giants   This exclusive fellowship program accepts 60 applicants a year, who attend a masterclass designed to help them grow their businesses to meet the demands of the market.

Do you consider yourself an entrepreneur or a modern CEO?    (No, this isn't a trick question!)    Both entrepreneurs and modern CEOs are running their own businesses. Both entrepreneurs and modern CEOs are in positions of leadership over their teams. But there are a few important differences.    Modern CEOs are embracing a different way of leading and doing business. Some of them, you may already be doing. Some of them… just might take you by surprise!    Modern CEOs aren't tied down to a specific location — they have the freedom to live and work from wherever they want.    Modern CEOs define what it means to win in their business.    Modern CEOs carve out time to see the big picture in their business… and zero in on exactly what they need to build on next in order to move their business forward.    Because, importantly, the modern CEO mindset is focused on growth and opportunity.     This means being able to look at a misstep or mistake and see it as a valuable lesson that you can use to drive growth. It means having a definite vision for what you want to create… but being agile enough to adapt to what's going on in the market. It means being savvy about digital marketing so that you're reaching your people where they are… with the messaging they need to hear.  And this means knowing when to pull in the experts, rather than doing All The Things yourself.   And the best part is — no matter what stage you're at in your business, from start-up to scale-up, you can elevate into the role of modern CEO.     In my latest podcast episode, you'll discover: What pancake flipping has to do with being a modern CEO — and what it teaches us about opportunity  The trait you need to develop in order to turn that beautiful business vision of yours into reality  Why your numbers are SO MUCH MORE than your bank balance — and how they can help you improve your business      Remember to subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!    Highlights:  00:56  What is a modern CEO? 02:29  Set up for success as a modern CEO 03:21  Flipping the pancake 05:11  Vision + adaptability 07:38  Digital marketing 08:52  Bring in the experts! 11:37  Take responsibility for your numbers 16:55  The holistic view 18:12  Design your life 19:55  The Modern CEO Way    Thank you for listening!

I have some real talk for you right now.   And it may sound far-fetched and you may feel just a little bit of resistance to hearing it, but here it comes: People making 10x more than you… aren’t working 10x harder.   I know that goes against the Instagram ‘Hustle’ mindset you’re so used to seeing. It goes against everything your parents said about working as hard as you can. It goes against the societal belief that you have to be actively working and busy all… the… time… in order to be deserving of wealth.   But it’s 100% true.   People making 10x more than you aren’t working 10x harder. And “busy” is not the badge of honor that everyone thinks it is.   All of the leaders and modern CEOs that I admire have time and space for themselves and the people they care about, because they build that space into their business. Vacations… evenings… maybe even a spa afternoon here or there.   And you can too.   There is a design that goes into leading and growing a business like yours, in a way that allows you to have financial success and time freedom.    Yes, you will still have moments of hustle — launch preparation, seasonal rushes, putting out the occasional fire. But your hustle should never be 24/7, no matter what those slick pink Insta posts tell you!   No-grinding, balance-creating, super-successful modern CEOs just do things differently — and we can learn a lot from their choices.   And guess what: you can learn three of their lessons right here, right now!   In my latest podcast episode, you’ll discover: The importance of knowing when to reach out to experts  What sets successful, savvy modern CEOs apart from average CEOs   How to avoid developing Messy Marketer Syndrome    Remember to subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!    Highlights:   01:42   Who do you admire? 03:05   Seasons of hustle 03:40   Three Boudoir + ambermccue.com 04:48   Business Brilliant 06:22   Lesson #1 08:39   Lesson #2 12:05   Lesson #3 15:22   Recap 16:32   The Modern CEO Way    Thank you for listening!

Smile! Why? Because smiling offers a lot of benefits. This episode begins with a discussion on all the good things that happen when you smile more often. http://longevity.about.com/od/lifelongbeauty/tp/smiling.htm What does it take to become wealthy? Sometimes it’s luck or having connections but when you look at middle-class people who become wealthy, it turns out they tend to have similar characteristics and they do a lot of similar behaviors that allows them to accumulate wealth. Joining me to discuss these characteristics and behaviors is Lewis Schiff. He is Executive Director of the Business Owners Council and author of the book Business Brilliant: Surprising Lessons From the Greatest Self-Made Business Icons (https://amzn.to/3ddi0DU). If you want to be wealthy, Lewis’ insights are important to know. Have you ever done something out of spite? Most of us have. And it makes you wonder why. Humans are just about the only creature on earth that acts out of spite. According to psychologist Simon McCarthy-Jones, spite comes from a feeling of injustice - that we have not been treated fairly. And people will often go to great lengths to get vengeance. However, spite may not be all bad. It may just serve a valuable purpose. Listen as Simon explains why we do things out of spite and why spite may be an important force in keeping us all honest with each other. Simon is author of the book Spite: The Upside of Your Dark Side (https://amzn.to/2OO8FJu)  You know when you are having a bad day…? And it seems that the worse it gets - the worse it gets? Well, there is a simple way to turn that off. Listen as I explain a simple technique that will stop you from focusing on all the bad things happening and turn off that downward spiral in your head so the rest of your day can go much better.

In this episode, I'll share suprising lessons from the greatest business icons from Lewis Schiff's book entitled Business Brilliant: Suprising Lessons from The Greatest Self-Made Business Icons. The book Business Brilliant is fascinating because it takes seven common beliefs or ideas and our society and shows how the wealthy and the middle class think differently about these ideas. You'll discover how you can use these ideas to think differently and achieve more in your business.  

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 98, from October 2013. Lewis Schiff is the Executive Director of the Inc. Business Owners Council and author of, "Business Brilliant: Surprising Lessons from the Greatest Self-Made Business Icons." Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer recently laid down the jackhammer: all her employees must now report to the office... no more working at home. Schiff discusses this debatable cultural phenomena. He also breaks down entrepreneurship and how important ideas are to entrepreneurial success. Apparently, doing what you "love" will not necessarily give you the best return. Lewis Schiff is the chairman and executive director of Inc. Business Owners Council. His new book, Business Brilliant: Surprising Lessons from the Greatest Self-Made Business Icons, was released in March, 2013. His new book, as well as his previous books, The Influence of Affluence and The Armchair Millionaire are based on research on best practices of high net worth and high-performing households.  Websites: www.lewisschiff.com www.inc.com.  

Is there anyone out there who doesn't want to get more done in less time?? Yeah, that's what I thought! Well, in episode 7 of the Modern CEO podcast, I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. Wait for it .... I'm going to teach you how to clone yourself! No, it doesn't involve test tubes, DNA, or freaky weird scientist hair.  This episode is about outsourcing, but outsourcing in a smart way – making sure that you keep a laser-focus on the things that you're really good at (and enjoy doing!), so that you're best serving your business! If outsourcing isn't realistic for you right now, then systematization is a great way to do those tasks more efficiently so that you have more time to do the job of growing your business. You'd better believe that I'll be covering THAT in this episode, too! After all, at least part of the reason you started your own business was to increase your quality of life, right? Well, if you're tied to the tasks that you hate to do (or kind of suck at), then you're not serving your business OR your spirit! So let's get started!  In this podcast, I'm going to: Help you figure out which tasks you should hang onto for yourself – and which are just wasting your time and energy resources Teach you how to identify your Zone of Genius Explain how systematization works and offer some great resources to get started! Ditch the DIY trap!   Highlights: 0:54     What should you outsource first? 2:17     Where is your time going? 5:24     Identify your 'keep', 'outsource' and 'systematize' tasks 12:03   How to 'park' your ideas for the future 13:16   There's nothing solo about being a solo entrepreneur!   Thank you for listening!

I made it my goal to keep these episodes coming regularly for you! And since goal-setting is actually one of the topics of today's episode, I'm going to tell you my secret to actually hitting those goals. And, no, it's not cheating! Effectively tracking your progress is actually the best way to help you manage those goals. Not only does it keep you on top of what still needs to get done, but it's also an awesome way to keep yourself motivated. If you're a list-maker, you already know how satisfying it is to check off those boxes, so it won't surprise you when I say that measuring progress has been shown to improve happiness levels! Speaking of goals, one of my major goals for the past few years has been to read 50 books (or more!) in a year. This is the first year that I've actually been on track to achieve this goal, so I am VERY excited!  Why reading? Let me tell you! One thing that a lot of successful people have in common is that they read a lot. And I'm not talking V.C. Andrews paperbacks, either – they choose books that help them shift their ways of thinking, learn new skills, or take a more visionary approach to their industry. In this podcast, I'm going to: Give you some recommendations for some great books that can help you build your business – as well as a few bonus personal development picks Help you get the most out of your reading by sharing some of my best tips for super-organized note-taking, whether you're reading digitally or kicking it old-school Give you the low-down on some of the best reading-related apps that will help you fit more books into your busy schedule       Keep your pen and paper handy for this one!  Highlights: 2:44 What gets measured gets managed 5:30 The Blinkist app vs Kindle samples 8:40 Note-taking – get the most out of your reading! 10:15 WhisperSync it when you can't read it! 11:43 Get into Goodreads! 12:15 Amber's Amazing Book List of 2017 (So far!)

Today, we’re going to tackle the elephant in the room. In this episode of the Modern CEO podcast, I get down and dirty with a topic that a lot of people don't really like to talk about – money! Studies have shown that people would rather talk about politics and religion than this topic, but as business owners, we've just got to do it! Women, in particular, tend to resist talking about their financials – we often don't ask for the raises we deserve or negotiate when we're taking on a new project, so learning to talk dollars is a huge key to being professionally successful. Doubly so, if you run your own business! It's a fact – people who have reached self-made millionaire or billionaire status tend to talk about their money and their revenue goals with people who are in their inner circles so that they can support each other in reaching their goals.  So this podcast episode is all about talking about that C-A-S-H money, baby!  In this episode, I discuss: How super-successful entrepreneurs discuss their financial goals and issues How often you should check in and update your numbers and forecast – and the big psychological benefits of doing so The reasons why you feel that wall of resistance when it comes to looking at your finances – and how to climb over that wall Why your forecast is a CRUCIAL ingredient for an effective spending And, finally: how to build your all-important revenue plan! Hopefully, this episode will help you get a little more comfortable thinking, talking, and planning about money so that you can really get your business on track to hit those revenue goals! Highlights: 2:05 The importance of talking about money 2:49 The super-successful entrepreneurs' approach to financial discussions 5:30 The importance of checking in on your finances and forecasts 6:55 How your forecast helps you pinpoint where to invest in your business 8:03 Building your financial discussion inner circle 9:33 Businesses that have a revenue plan in place tend to grow faster than those that don't – build yours! 11:30 Getting intentional with your plans 13:30 Is your profit where you want it to be? 16:25 How often should you be looking at your expenses?   Thank you for listening!
