In network marketing, you build a business from a network of like-minded people. Notice the name "network" in it. So, you are not going to reach the top ranks working alone. The very structure of this industry emphasizes that your success intertwines with the growth and achievements of your team.Now, as you lead a team, one of the challenges is seeing different levels of performance that may pull you up or down because of the various ways they work best. While you cannot make everyone do the same, you can have them work together brilliantly. It starts with showing them how you do it consistently - sharing your WHY in your content and reminding them of the reasons they're here to transform lives. That's how you show them you're on the same page.In another Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos answers questions about leadership and setting team expectations. Balazs wants you to pay attention to your members and create content that matters to them. Who brings the fire? Who's relaxed and reliable? Who has a knack for details? If someone's coming at you with enthusiasm and big ideas, meet them there. And if someone's steadier and quieter, respect that pace. Setting an example and matching energy means you build a connection with your team, and recognize them as you give roles according to their strengths.How do you know if this is working? Balazs recommends using Key Performance Indicators. You'll see outreach success through connections made, organizers by project completion rates, and creative leads by the number of content ideas generated. When the team understands their roles and how they contribute to the overall goals, their energy becomes focused and purposeful. "If you give 100%, I match it with 100%. You give 0%, I give you 0%. But when it comes to specifics, you need KPIs, key performance indicators. You need actual things that would qualify someone to earn that respect and time from you." - Balazs W KardosListen to this episode to effectively lead a strong team, manage collective energy, and utilize KPIs to achieve your goals as a community in network marketing.Key Diamond Nuggets In This Episode:How can you create content that will re-engage and motivate your team?What framework can you implement to manage team expectations?How can you effectively define key performance indicators to support team members?What does it mean by the power of one in a team?How can you define and prioritize team members' strengths and weaknesses?How can you maintain a supportive community in high-ticket network marketing?Want a Personalized Plan for Business & Life Optimization?Book A FREE Call Connect with Balazs W Kardos:WebsiteFacebookThe Diamond Life CommunityLinkedInYouTubeInstagramThe Diamond Life Mentor Instagram

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Fez. We talk about its platforming and how it fits to taste, game style, and rule escalation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More cubes! Issues covered: platforming feelings and taste, inspirations and how they play out here, additional move set, floaty physics, a mental game with mostly generous platforming, a game that takes place in your head rather than in your fingers, seeking high highs, sloppiness and guiding the player, no longer seeing the whole world but only the tells, the pleasure of figuring things out, checking out the achievements, how many people get everything, the craft of the game, wanting to feel capable, finding a solution that was not the intended solution, dominated by the puzzle side, those moments where you give a big "no way," extending a simple idea and iterating on it for a fleshed-out game, iterating ideas, a chain of implication, not making the leaps of logic too large, ladders that line up and teach you how to think about the world, not knowing whether you can do a thing yet, not wanting to diminish the revelations, puzzles games Brett hasn't finished and why, editorial from the publisher and Key Performance Indicators, finding a tribe for your indie game, side games, smaller and more cohesive teams, a choose-your-own-email, having an experience, leaving endings open. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Hollow Knight, Indie Game: The Movie, Phil Fish, Nintendo, Mario (series), Little Big Planet, Guacamelee, Super Mario Galaxy, Demons's Souls, Dark Souls, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Tomb Raider (2013), The Matrix, Deep Thoughts/Jack Handey, MYST, Pierre de Fermat, Megaman, Resident Evil, The Witness, Braid, The Talos Principle, Obduction, Cyan Worlds, Super Meat Boy, Fallout, X-COM, mysterydip, Mass Effect, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Twin Peaks, Half-Life, While We're Young, Noah Baumbach, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More Fez! Note: Amusingly, though I did not call out the actresses, Naomi Watts and Amanda Seyfried appear in While We're Young, and both also appeared in Twin Peaks: The Return Twitch: timlongojr Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com

Episode at a Glance[01:10] – Our take on titles: It's about impact, not labels[03:00] – The power of feedback: A 30% promotion boost[05:06] – KPIs and timelines: Clarity over subjectivity[10:32] – The PE reality: Milestone, not magic[13:00] – Advice for young engineers: Advocate for yourself[19:34] – Pitfalls: Don't just show up—be proactive[24:42] – Wrap-up: Start with a conversationKey Takeaways* Feedback Fuels Growth: You're 30% more likely to get promoted with regular feedback. Ask your manager what's working and what isn't—monthly.* KPIs Need Clarity: Know the expectations for the next level. Aim to hit most, not all, and get opportunities to prove yourself.* PE Isn't a Magic Wand: It's a milestone, not a promotion. Embrace the responsibility to show you're ready for more.* Avoid the Bubble: Don't just show up—go the extra mile, be visible, and set realistic expectations.Hey everyone! In today's episode, we're diving into something that's close to my heart - engineering promotions. This isn't just about getting a fancy new title or a bigger paycheck. It's about growing as a professional and making a real impact in our field.The Game-Changer: Feedback That Gets ResultsLet me share something powerful with you: you're 30% more likely to get promoted if you actively seek feedback. As my friend Nicolai puts it, "You don't need to be perfect to get promoted." It's all about showing you're ready to take on bigger responsibilities.Look, I get it. As engineers, we often hesitate to ask for feedback. We're perfectionists by nature, and nobody likes having their work questioned. But here's what I've learned: it's not about being perfect - it's about progress. Feedback helps you understand where you stand and where you're heading.Making Sense of KPIsLet's talk about Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Nicolai has a great approach with his team. He tells them: "Here are the tasks for the next level - what can you start doing now?" I love how practical this is - you don't need to hit every single target, just show you're ready for more responsibility.I'll be honest with you - my journey hasn't always been smooth sailing. In previous roles, I felt like I wasn't getting opportunities to develop new skills. But now at Jacobs, seven months in, I have a clear roadmap. My supervisor has laid out exactly what I need: diversify my projects and strengthen my technical foundation. That clarity makes all the difference.The PE License Reality CheckGetting my PE was a huge milestone, but let me tell you - it's not a golden ticket. When Nicolai shared how his new boss barely acknowledged his PE, I felt that. When I passed mine, I recorded an episode saying something that really resonated with our listeners: "Pass or not, I became a better engineer just by studying."Here's the truth: your PE license doesn't automatically make you a project manager. You're still you the day after you pass. As Nicolai wisely points out, "Until you can win projects and put your name on a proposal, you're not a true project manager." It's about what you do with that credential that matters.Common Pitfalls to Watch Out ForNicolai shared three key insights from his team experiences.First, just showing up isn't enough. As he says, "I've never met somebody who becomes an expert in a 40-hour week." The best engineers - like those OpenRoads wizards - invest extra time learning and growing.Second, don't assume people notice your hard work. Nicolai told me about a young engineer burning out because nobody noticed their late nights. The lesson? Speak up! I learned this one the hard way - being quiet about your efforts doesn't help anyone.Third, keep your expectations in check. While Nicolai loves his team's enthusiasm, he warns against expecting too much too soon. A PE doesn't instantly make you a project manager. You need to understand what it really takes to advance.Your Next StepsHere's what I want you to take away: promotions start with you. Nicolai put it perfectly: "Reach out to your supervisor and share your aspirations." When I started at Jacobs, my manager and I had a great conversation about my path to becoming a task leader. That chat gave me more than goals - it gave me direction. If you're feeling stuck or unsure, speak up. You can't control your manager, but you can control your voice.This conversation energized me, and we've only scratched the surface! We'll definitely revisit promotions soon to talk more about timelines, networking, and skill-building. For now, remember: advocate for yourself, seek feedback, and focus on the growth that makes you promotion-ready. Keep engineering your future!

Instead of chasing endless motivation, discover how identifying your personal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) creates a foundation that keeps you on track. It's not sexy, but it's precisely what you need to hear right now. Featured Story Scott reveals how a coaching client's question about motivation led to an essential discussion about dopamine's double-edged sword. While this brain chemical powers your drive to achieve, it can also reward you for giving up! Learn how to harness dopamine effectively by establishing your baseline - those core activities that indicate you're living aligned with your values. When you know your baseline, motivation follows naturally. Key Takeaways Dopamine drives both your motivation to act AND your reward for quitting - understanding this balance is crucial for sustained success. Creating a "peaceful base" through personal KPIs gives you a foundation to return to when life gets chaotic. Knowing your baseline measurements frees your mind from clutter and frustration, naturally increasing motivation. Memorable Quotes "A peaceful base is built on KPIs, knowing when you're on track to going for what you want." "When you have the baseline, your mind gets freed from all the clutter." "If your life is buzzing fanatically, you've got to find a way to breathe and chill down." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify 2-3 key performance indicators that represent your baseline (like exercising 3x weekly or family date nights). When life feels chaotic, please check if you've drifted from your baseline activities. Return to your baseline practices before trying to "get motivated" - your motivation will naturally return.

Keith Ferrazzi, founder of Ferrazzi Greenlight, is a pioneering executive coach, thought leader, and New York Times #1 bestselling author. For over two decades, he's transformed Fortune 500 companies, unicorn startups, and governments by challenging teams to break silos and embrace "teamship" over leadership. As the leader of the Greenlight Research Institute, Keith drives innovation in team performance and collaboration. His Radical Innovators Collaborative unites bold thinkers for groundbreaking ideas and best practices. A prolific writer featured in Harvard Business Review, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and more, Keith's books include Never Eat Alone, Leading Without Authority, and the cutting-edge Never Lead Alone. In 2024, he received the prestigious Coaches 50 Award, honouring the world's top executive coaches. Beyond coaching, he's a philanthropist and strategic investor committed to driving meaningful social impact.In this episode, Dominic explores innovative collaboration methods such as co-elevation and constructive conflict, the need for a shift from individual resilience to collective team resilience and the potential of AI in shaping future team structures. Keith shares anecdotes from coaching executive teams and the insights gained from his research on high-performing teams, highlighting the importance of collaboration, feedback, and a culture of candour in achieving team success. Hear his thoughts about moving away from traditional hierarchical models to more fluid, self-managed teams, advocating for a culture of openness and shared responsibility.DiscoverShift from Leadership to Teamship - Leaders are encouraged to empower their teams to self-manage rather than controlling or micromanaging by transitioning from a traditional leadership model to "teamship" - where responsibility is shared across the team. This helps dismantle silos within organisations, fostering collective accountability and better performance.Candour Over Conflict Avoidance - Radical transparency and open feedback are critical for high-performing teams. Avoiding conflict often leads to mediocrity, while embracing candid and constructive feedback leads to innovation and trust. Practical tools like "candour breaks" and stress testing enable teams to comfortably critique ideas and improve collaboration.Asynchronous Collaboration and Agile Practices - Traditional meeting-centric collaboration methods are inefficient. Harnessing asynchronous collaboration (e.g., collecting input via shared documents) and agile sprints can make decision-making faster and more inclusive. This modern approach aligns team efforts around Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and prevents siloed working.Redefining Teams Beyond Org Charts - Teams aren't merely those on the organisational chart. Instead, they should be built dynamically around specific goals or KPIs. For example, solving a sales issue may require involvement from marketing, product, and finance—not just the sales department. This approach reduces finger-pointing and fosters cross-functional ownership.Practices for Building Resilient and Celebratory Teams - High-performing teams focus not only on achieving results but also on maintaining team well-being. Practices like monthly "energy checks" ensure team members support one another during challenging times. Additionally, celebrating successes creates a culture of positivity and enhances morale. Peer-to-peer recognition is particularly impactful and energising.Book recommendations:Andrew McAfee - The Geek Way

In this episode we talk about the importance of using key performance indicators beyond just investment performance to gauge the health of one's retirement plan. There are five crucial data points that form the foundation of a successful retirement strategy: passive income, effective tax rate, cash flow ratio, banking capacity, and horizontal asset allocation. By focusing on these metrics, you can adopt a comprehensive approach to retirement planning that factors in various financial variables and bridges the gaps in your financial plan. Business owners use KPIs or key performance indicators to track and understand the health of their business and marketing efforts. Those planning for retirement should consider their retirement KPIs to help measure the health of their financial situation. People often make the mistake of substituting investment performance for more meaningful key performance indicators. ROI is not the only KPI you should be paying attention to. People often view their finances in silos and tend to make standalone decisions about what to do while leaving out other important variables concerning their situation, which can result in having gaps in their overall retirement plan design. For example, the stock market can go down, but that doesn't necessarily mean your plan should change. The flipside is also true: the market may be up, but that could mean you need to make adjustments. Knowing what KPIs to use and how to use them can help measure the health of your overall financial situation, not just track portfolio performance. A KPI is simply a collection of data points that helps provide a consistent method for measuring and monitoring the health of your retirement plan. In my experience, there are five key data points needed to measure the effectiveness of a retirement plan. The first is passive income. Income is an obvious component and the central theme of a retirement plan. Income is not growth of a share or unit of a particular investment. It is the income generated from the share or unit of an investment. If there is a retirement income gap of $5,000 each month, the goal of the retirement plan is to not simply cash out investments each month or spend down savings to meet the goal. It is to create passive income sources that can consistently provide the cash flow. Missing this point can be catastrophic to the longevity of a retirement plan. The second is the effective tax rate. Tax rates in the United States of America are progressive. The more you make, the higher the marginal rate is on portions of your income. Marginal rates have their place when filing a return or making decisions about asset positioning. The effective tax rate is a single rate that's calculated using the total taxes that are paid against the gross income. This percentage gives us a better overall understanding of the impact taxes are having on retirement income. If the retirement income gap is $5,000 each month and the effective tax rate is 30%, we can determine the additional amount of income required to cover the tax liabilities. The more tax mitigation techniques you incorporate into a retirement plan, the less pressure there is on your assets to generate additional income just to pay the tax. The third is cash flow ratio. People often define cash flow too narrowly and often exclude things like taxes, retirement savings and health insurance premiums, which leaves gaps in understanding. It is also important to know the ratio of income to bank payments, taxes, savings insurance, as well as fixed and variable expenses. It's also important to know the earned income versus passive income ratio along with the number of different income sources you rely on to fund your lifestyle. The fourth is your banking capacity. When it comes to asset allocation, there is often the out-of-the-box structure where assets are divided up between investments and bank accounts. This approach oversimplifies a more complex situation and overlooks the realities of life and how people actually use and spend money. There are many factors to consider outside of just growing assets and covering emergencies, such as big ticket purchases and other family needs, that could benefit from incorporating a family bank into the financial plan. A family bank, aka Build Banking, is a specially designed life insurance contract that enables a family to have banking capabilities within their own financial ecosystem without relying on an actual bank outside of their financial situation. This piece is usually missing from most retirement plans. The fifth is horizontal asset allocation. Most people think of diversification as a vertical landscape of public market investments such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds or ETFs, but that's the wrong idea. Asset allocation is similar to gardening. It requires diversity in many different forms to help manage growth, produce income, minimize risk and mitigate taxes. Adding things such as real estate businesses, private equity, life insurance, annuities, amongst other things, can provide characteristics and other elements of stability to help support a retirement plan. To develop a retirement plan, you must first identify the gaps in your existing situation, and then begin to work out on strategies to help fill those gaps. Having a way to measure passive income tax exposure, cashflow, asset allocation, and your baking capacity are the most important metrics to start with.     Mentioned in this episode: BrianSkrobonja.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify BrianSkrobonja.com/thegapreportstart      Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.

The first 90 days are crucial for setting expectations and building confidence. We're here to share strategies for success. Inspired by Mike Michalowicz, we explore how to create a memorable and engaging onboarding experience. This includes critical process training and understanding diverse learning styles. With hands-on training and clear goal-setting, you can shape new hires into confident contributors. They'll be well-equipped to navigate your firm's unique processes. However, onboarding doesn't stop at process training; key performance indicators (KPIs) are vital in ensuring full integration during the critical 60-90-day period. We'll discuss the importance of transparent communication and how tailored KPIs can facilitate autonomy and trust within your team. We also touch on potential challenges, such as the resentment of longer-tenured employees and strategies for continuous improvement. Whether you're a firm leader or looking to enhance team culture and performance, this episode offers a wealth of insights to elevate your onboarding process.

Are you tracking what truly matters in your business?In this episode ofScriptures, Stories, & Strategies, we're diving into why measuring KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) isn't just a business best practice—it's a biblical principle. Many entrepreneurs struggle because they don't understand their numbers, leading to frustration, stagnation, and reactive decision-making.We'll explore how biblical figures likeJoseph (Genesis 41) andKing Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20) used wisdom, planning, and measurable strategies to steward their responsibilities well. We'll also break downProverbs 27:23-27, revealing how knowing the "condition of your flock" applies directly to tracking business analytics and foresight.Shop bible studies and reading plans:www.dualcitizensociety.comRelevant Podcast Episodes:S3:EP 8 | The Biblical Importance of Business Analytics & Business ForesightApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biblical-importance-of-business-analytics/id1530744470?i=1000569170751Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2fxk7L4x5zcLWMGKXQ6XCn?si=19d2d7dcab3a4154

Welcome to February, leader—my favorite month of the year! As I celebrate nine years in business and prepare to launch the most soul-aligned movement I've ever created, I'm reflecting on the lessons that have shaped my journey. One of the biggest? Sustainable growth doesn't happen by accident—it happens by design. That's why, this week, I'm bringing back one of our most downloaded episodes from 2022—because the principles still hold true today. Compensation is more than just a paycheck; it's a tool to build trust, retain top talent, and create alignment between your team's goals and your business's future. But too often, business owners approach it with short-term thinking, leading to margin loss, disengagement, and ultimately, turnover. In this episode, we're unpacking: Why most comp plans fail before they're even presented. The risks of overpaying upfront and losing profitability over time. A strategic approach to compensation that attracts top talent, incentivizes performance, and aligns with long-term business success. You'll hear insights from my conversation with our KLC financial partner on why every plan should be custom to your business and how to approach compensation as a tool—not a magic bullet—for building trust, loyalty, and value. Compensation isn't just about numbers—it's about strategy, sustainability, and setting your business up for long-term success. Whether you're hiring your first employee or restructuring an existing team, this episode will challenge you to think differently about how you reward and retain top talent. Tune in now to gain the insights you need to make smarter compensation decisions that drive growth, engagement, and profitability. Let's build businesses that thrive—by design.

Jeannette examines the essential elements of a high-performing team, emphasising the critical role team dynamics play in business success. With over 30 years of experience in leading teams across various sectors, she outlines six key characteristics needed for a team to achieve high performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS A high-performing team is defined by six key characteristics: aligned purpose, accepted leadership, defined roles and responsibilities, effective systems and processes, strong relationships, and streamlined communication. Having a clear and aligned purpose is crucial for team cohesion and motivation. Understanding why the team exists and how they serve customers can drive engagement and performance. Clearly defined roles and responsibilities are essential to avoid confusion and ensure that every team member knows their contribution to the team's success. Tools like a RACI matrix can help clarify these roles. Establishing clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is vital for assessing both individual and team performance. A balanced scorecard approach should include financial, operational, commercial, and non-financial metrics. BEST MOMENTS "A winning team wins together or not at all, right? Remember that because otherwise you're just a collection of individuals." "If you know what you stand for as a business, as a team, you are much more likely to get to where you want to get to." "You cannot be a high-performing team if there is ambiguity around roles and responsibilities." "What gets measured gets done. And I believe the KPIs, what are your KPIs?" This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

Today, we're diving into the pickleball world (perhaps you've heard of it?) ;) with David and Sam Ring. Join host Pete Moore as we talk about the Rings' grassroots effort to open PickleballXpo, a state-of-the-art pickleball club in Oceanside, Long Island. David, a former consumer electronics executive, and his son Sam have turned a once-forgotten sports complex into a thriving pickleball venue, complete with professional court design, a smoothie bar, and more.  David recently transitioned out of a 46-year career into becoming a new business owner, spurred on by his wife (an enthusiastic player herself) who noticed his restlessness after retirement. Eight months ago, he seized on a great piece of real estate with ample parking and high ceilings and--recognizing a gap in the local market with only one distant competitor who lacks adequate parking--David made the jump.  Dave and Sam discuss self-funding the venture, the unique features of their facility, and the pivotal role of data analytics in their model. From discussing operational hours, pricing strategies, event planning, and the potential future implementation of video technology, this episode is packed with takeaways for anyone interested in the pickleball community.  Ring mentions, "It's been a really fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to come and learn a new sport. We find that we're really attracting anywhere from the twenties to the seventies. That seems to be the range of folks that are looking to do something and get out of their homes and socialize." Key themes discussed "Retirement" led to a new real estate venture. Partnering with South Shore Brewery for events. Play by Point POS essential for club operations. Current facility hours and future plans discussed. Advocates of pickleball promoting health, active lifestyles. A few key takeaways:  1. Grassroots Approach and Self-Funding: David emphasized the importance of a grassroots approach to opening, choosing to self-fund rather than adopt a franchise model. This allowes them more control over their operations and the ability to learn valuable lessons firsthand. 2. Detailed Financial and Operational Management: The Rings invested significantly in top-tier court designs involving multiple layers of rubber and acrylic paint, which provide better support for the body. They also implemented detailed KPI (Key Performance Indicator) tracking and utilized sophisticated software like Play by Point for scheduling, reporting, and communication. 3. Enhancing Customer Experience: To boost revenue and enhance the customer experience, the facility offers additional amenities such as a smoothie and iced coffee bar. While initially focusing on their primary baby boomer clientele, they have pre-wired their facility for future enhancements such as video technology for game replays and highlights. 4. Community-Centric Vision and Expanding Pickleball: The entire project has a community-centric vision, aiming to grow the local pickleball community on Long Island. The Rings are ensuring their facility can adapt to demand, offering flexible hours and various services including open play, private rentals, and clinics led by experienced pros.
