In this episode, Matt is joined by Lewis Schiff from Birthing of Giants. Lewis, a natural entrepreneur, questioned the disparity in outcomes among middle-class individuals. His research, culminating in the book "The Middle-Class Millionaire," explored why only one in ten managed to break into the top echelons of wealth. The crux of his coaching philosophy lies in understanding the distinctive approach of the self-made wealthy, the true drivers of economic change. These individuals, Lewis emphasized, work longer hours but, more importantly, embrace failure as a vital learning tool. The so-called "hero gene" is prevalent among entrepreneurs who openly share their failures, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Lewis also discusses nodal networking, a key concept that revolves around cultivating strong connections with a select few in the business realm. Lewis stressed the importance of giving before asking, using personal strengths, and minimizing weaknesses.

On today's podcast, Lewis Schiff from Birthing of Giants and Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions discuss the critical factors in building a business to accelerate to a billion-dollar company. Business owners that aim to reach a billion-dollar mark have to imbibe the practices of business giants by weaning their business off parochial practices. In other words,  you should build your business as if you're going to sell it by adopting the standard that's generally obtainable in the business world. 

As a proven entrepreneur, Lewis Schiff has had a bird's eye view of how the innovation ecosystem has changed in the past 25 years... specifically, the transition from the “Silicon Valley” ecosystem to the “moneymaker to moonshot” ecosystem - a new phenomenon that explains "where does innovation come from?" Lewis also examines what circumstances will lead to the next crop of billionaires, as well as the roadblocks that prevent most modern innovators from succeeding. Lewis is an experienced entrepreneur who hosts the annual Moonshots & Moneymakers: The Oxford Innovation Conference for American Entrepreneurs. He is the Chairman of the Board of Experts for Birthing of Giants' Fellowship Program, and founded Inc. Magazine's Business Owners Council. In the past twenty years, Lewis built and sold two media businesses to publicly-traded companies, iVillage, and TheStreet.com, and has authored several books on success.

“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.

The most successful people in America didn't necessarily go to the best school, but they certainly worked the hardest and gave everything to be where they are. These are the entrepreneurs.  Lewis Schiff helps entrepreneurs go from moonshot takers to moneymakers. He's developed several programs, workshops, and workbooks to guide entrepreneurs to true wealth and long-term success. He shares his advice on becoming successful, his love of entrepreneurs, and tells us what the top trait for success is.  Lewis Schiff is a prolific author, serial entrepreneur, and advisor to hundreds of very successful business owners over the years. You've probably seen or read at least one of Lewis's many successful books, a list that includes The Armchair Millionaire, The Middle-Class Millionaire, Business Brilliant, and The First Habit: The One Technique That Will Change Your Life. Beyond his own entrepreneurial success, Lewis has spent the second part of his career creating organizations and education programs to support entrepreneurs through the various stages as they grow their businesses to new heights. I met Lewis almost a decade ago when I was part of his business owners council. Since then, he's gone on to chair The Birthing of Giants fellowship program, and most recently launched Moonshots and Moneymakers, a week-long workshop in collaboration with Ryder University and Oxford University.

Show Notes: Interview with Van Sullivan Traversing new territory is always frightening, but Van Sullivan didn’t get his company Trideum to where it is today by following in the same footsteps as everyone else. Strategy, planning, and innovation are the hallmarks of this company. A successful engineering services contractor for the federal government, Trideum provides high-end engineering for testing weapons systems and training military personnel. In helping to build and sustain the U.S. military, Van’s company epitomizes the place where the supreme importance of defending our nation meets the innovation and entrepreneurship of the private sector. Trideum's innovative approach has brought the company remarkably fast growth in an industry not known for it. Trideum has doubled in size over the last two years, and made the Inc. 5000 list in 2017 for the fifth time in seven years. Van attributes this success to his “secret sauce”— his willingness to grow the company strategically, even if that strategy takes time.

As CEO of Heritage Building Maintenance, the legacy company of the Heritage Group, Greg Theroux knows there’s money to be made in providing the fundamental solutions the business world needs. Operating out of Des Moines, Iowa, Greg has decided to concentrate on growing the company locally rather than risk losing focus. But that isn’t to say he’s opposed to change. At the Birthing of Giants Fellowship program in April 2017, Greg revealed that the demand for “green cleaning” has seen the Heritage Group’s microbial control services experience enormous growth. After completing the fellowship, he successfully launched a new “Cleaning for Health” program to take full advantage of this opportunity. I recently caught up with Greg to find out how he’s restructured his operations to support this shift in direction.

When David Long - CEO/founder of MyEmployees and Star Culture - became a fellow at our Birthing of Giants program this spring, he had one new risk on his mind. His company, known primarily for producing employee recognition plaques, had recently expanded to offer engagement survey software. David realized this required a big change to how they sold, but he wasn’t sure what the change should be. “We wanted to combine [our offerings] because in our minds, they are the exact same thing,” he told me. “But they are done differently. They are sold differently. It’s like oil and water—they’re not mixing. And that has been the frustrating thing. So we’re […] going to split the company into two,” he said.

Welcome to the first Birthing of Giants podcast with Lewis Schiff, executive director of the Birthing of Giants Fellowship program. Each episode of the podcast features an interview with leaders from innovative companies to reveal the most important lessons learned during their ascent to the top. First up is Bob Eisiminger, CEO of Knight Point Systems (a government contractor of IT services).  When Bob Eisiminger attended the Birthing of Giants Fellowship in April of this year, his company was preparing for some major changes. “I’ve always been one to think that you have to sharpen the saw when you’re chopping down a tree,” says Bob. “The only way you sharpen it is to step away from the tree and go do that.” For more, listen to the podcast!  For more information on the Birthing of Giants Fellowship program, click here to visit the program's website.

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!

We recommend so many books on the show, hope you guys have a chance to actually digest them.   This week, we had the pleasure of having Berni Xiong on the show and I loved her energy from the beginning. What I loved more was the fact that we talked about her failures and how people don't know how to fail.   I did an old video that got a couple thousand views on the fear of failure. And how failure and success are not a binary notion. It's not one or the other. You need one to get to the other. In other words, you need failure to get to success.  Think back to when we were in school, and IF you were to fail, it would be this massive deal. Something is not right with you. You can't read fast enough. You are not smart enough. It is always something that is lacking in you.    Well, schools base everything on the average student. The average learning speed. It's how they can manage hundreds and sometimes thousands of new students every year.   Well, what worked In school does not necessarily apply to life. It's just like coaching entrepreneurs. What works in starting your business from 0-100k is not what is going to make the business go from 100k to 500k.   Life is about change. That is what this show is about. How do we embrace that change? How do we fearlessly walk into the unknown.   I encourage you to think about your life. Are you measuring against the average person in society?   Because there is that stat floating around saying 85%,+ of ppl hate their jobs. Because the average person is just that....average. Because the average person is not fulfilled    I am sorry if this is offending certain people, but being average is not cool. Don't buy into what others are saying that everyone is going to be around average, so just aim average.   If that is your thinking, well, you probably stopped listening to this show a long time ago.   Average is pathetic. That's really what average is. And we are going to be average if you eat average food, think average thoughts, and do average things.   It does not take a genius to look around and see that there is a skew of wealth in the world. Why is it that 1% of the world own 99% of the money and resources available to the world?   Successful people follow patterns. They know what works and they break-out of the system of what everyone else is doing.   Mark Twain famously said - Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect   So think about it? No need to answer my question of the day or anything like that. But seriously take some time and ponder. When was the last time you really failed at something? Did you tell others about it? Lewis Schiff wrote in his book business brilliant. 7 out of 10 multi-millionaires would say they are successful because failure is what showed them what they were great at.   Only 2 out of 10 people in the middle class would agree. Well, ask yourself. Do you want to be in the middle class? Do you want to be average?     I am not telling you that you should not be grateful if you are. Or if you happen to be in the middle class.   I am saying – If you want to be great. If being a changemaker or having the ability to make a positive impact in others lives is important to you, you must fail yourself out of the average.   I will say it again. You must fail faster. You must fail smarter. You must fail forward to being out of the average.   It was said during the interview. People who fail more have more attempts and is, therefore, successful by default because they tried more, failed more and the 1 or 2 times they were successful, that's where it...

In part 6 of our Business Brilliant series, we are discussing the millionaire mindset and, although it is a popular concept, why win/win negotiations can make you a loser if you aren’t careful. According to Lewis Schiff, all other factors aside, being ready to walk away from a deal is the best guarantee that a deal will work for you!  So if you want a negotiation to work in your favor, you must adopt a Machiavellian approach.  Learn how on today's episode. ------- Subscribe to this podcast at YourDoOver.com Download The 3 Pillars of Creating the Ultimate Do Over compliments of Matt at FreeDoOver.com

When I was a park ranger, the former director of our agency used to preach the concept of the well-rounded ranger.  I believe his message was that our agency needed to train rangers for more than law enforcement. He wanted us to think in terms of service, and not enforcement. If focusing on service is what he meant, he was correct. But the concept of a well-rounded park ranger is hurting parks. Sure, there are people like Tom Betts at Bandelier National Monument who can do everything. Tom is true a well-rounded ranger. But I was not. And chances are that you are not either. And that is OK. It is a benefit to your park that you are not well rounded.  Not being well rounded means you are strong in some areas that can be a tremendous help to your park. It also means you have weaknesses. There are some things you are not good at. That is OK. In fact, a good park manager knows how to consider the strengths and weaknesses to assemble a great team. Now, I expect park rangers to know enough to solve problems and get things done. But often, that does not mean the individual ranger needs to know how to do the actual work. The ranger needs to be able to recognize there is a problem and begin the process to solve the problem. The idea of a well-rounded ranger, taken too literal or too serious, creates an environment that focuses on weaknesses and hampers strengths. Let me give you an example. Auto maintenance is a weakness of mine. In fact, I have no interest in it at all. At one point in my career, I worked for a supervisor who felt park rangers who felt all rangers should complete the same tasks. Each ranger was responsible for doing the same tasks the same amount of times. This took people away from doing what they were strongest at to improve in areas where they were the weakest. I get the desire to have everyone on the team contribute to all areas of the operation, which would be why you may want well-rounded rangers. But it just doesn’t work. The well-rounded ranger concept forces everyone to spend an inappropriate amount of time improving their weaknesses. Great teams set people up to build on their strengths. Great leaders know this and assemble teams with strengths in mind. If taken too far, the well-rounded ranger concept is like having every member of a baseball team spend too innings at each position during a game. In that case, you get an outfielder spending time practicing to throw a fastball rather than perfecting his craft if catching fly balls. In the wonderful book Business Brilliant, author Lewis Schiff examines the traits of self-made millionaires. Lewis Schiff tells us – A Gallup poll found the 87% of working Americans felt that finding your weaknesses and fixing them is the best way to achieve outstanding performance. Sixty-one percent of workers say they need to focus on their weaknesses because that's where they feel they have the most room for growth. In follow-up interviews, they said that improving weak areas makes them feel more responsible more well-rounded and less vulnerable to embarrassment and risk of failure. They feel conscientious about working with their weaknesses, and hope that the practice will shield them from future reproach and failure. Meanwhile, self-made millionaires are spending each day avoiding their weaknesses in order to stay focused on their strengths where distinction, fulfillment, and profits are found. Hour by hour, day by day the workers from this survey protect themselves by becoming more well-rounded and ordinary while the millionaires enrich themselves by becoming more specialized and extraordinary. That information from Business Brilliant may work for a self-made millionaire, but you may be wondering how it applies to you and parks. Consider this. When you promote the strengths of your team, it allows you to fill holes on your team with someone who is strong in the areas you need the most. So a well-rounded ranger needs to be looked at in a different way. A well-rounded ranger is someone confident in her strengths. A well-rounded ranger can realize there is a problem and knows how to solve it, likely with the assistance of other people. A well-rounded ranger does not ignore things they do not like in favor of what they do like. A well-rounded ranger understands when and how to step up to help a teammate. But the well-rounded ranger, the ranger who can do everything, that well-rounded ranger is a myth. To me, it is a choice to be well-rounded and ordinary or specialized and extraordinary. What do you think of the concept of a well rounded ranger?
