In today's podcast, MultiFunding President Lynn Ozer, aka SBA Queen, and I talk to Marissa Levin, a five-time, 30-year entrepreneur, speaker, best-selling author, mindset expert, and globally recognized growth and spiritual strategist. In today's episode, she tells us about her latest venture, I5 Conscious Leadership, a leadership education and consulting firm guided by a mission to elevate the consciousness of the world through leadership. "At the heart of all of us is a beautiful spirit, and my spirit is definitely one that is here to uplift and empower others," she said. "My lifetime legacy mission – LLM – is to empower 1 billion people to live their most joyful lives. And I do that through the work that I do, through 30 years of entrepreneurship of helping people move past their self limiting beliefs, their deeply ingrained patterns that hold them back, and really step into their highest potential and remember who they are." The impetus for this mission goes back 30 years to when she branched out on her own after working for a man who capped her value way below her worth, despite her education and how much money she was bringing into the company. She started her first business, Information Experts, a strategic communications and education firm. She launched the firm as a solopreneur with a $35,000 contract and grew the organization to approximately $14 million in revenue and 75 employees until she exited in 2012.  The model for her latest business, I5 Conscious Leadership, is intention, identity, integrity, insight, and inspiration. "The first thing is you have to create a baseline, you have to know what you're working with," she said. "We start with an assessment of the organization in terms of where they are with their leadership. So many of the problems that can be avoided come from having the courage and the awareness to do the work to bridge the gap between how the leaders see themselves and how the employees see themselves." The gap leads to disengagement, which according to research through Gallup and other sources, is high. The research finds that only 21% of employees are engaged at work, 90% of employees are fully miserable and 60% of employees are emotionally detached.  Listen here to learn more about the types of businesses I5 serves (hint: all types and sizes), how Marissa's public speaking boosts her business, and the importance of building a trusted team around you.

In this week's episode, Scaling Up has lined up eight fan-favorite episodes from 2022. In case you've missed any of these classics, we have compiled a quick recap of each of the episodes and the guests below. Thank you for listening to the Scaling Up show!   Michael Solomon has three businesses today, artist management, freelance software talent management, and compensation negotiation services. He is also the author of the book, Game Changer, which dives into how to get the most out of the talent economy. After an industry change, this business owner saw some interesting parallels that made him realize that people are really the cornerstone of your company's success.   Chris Ronzio is the founder & CEO of Trainual, an online training resource manual for your company to help train employees, contractors, and more. He was also named EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2021 and is the author of the new book, The Business Playbook. Chris takes his Business Playbook to a different level and shares how to streamline onboarding in an easy way where it doesn't overwhelm you!   Dr. Alison Horstmeyer is a talent development consultant, executive coach, and humanistic thought leader. Her research focuses on curiosity and associated mental, emotional, and motivational attributes. Dr. Alison is considered to be one of the pioneering practitioners in workplace curiosity. This episode focuses on how curiosity impacts the world around us today, how to cultivate it, and how more of it within your team helps your business scale and grow.   Jason Forrest became established as a top 1% sales professional in his career and has gone on to train others in the field. Throughout his career, he's found that the common sales techniques being taught out there put limitations on others. As a result of Jason's hands-on sales experience, his coaching and consulting work has led sales teams to increase their effectiveness and drive more profit.   Marissa Levin has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years and is a globally-recognized growth strategist. In 1995, she launched her first business and grew it to $13 million in revenue. Her current venture, Successful Culture, is a leadership consulting organization that helps CEOs master the three most critical aspects of business growth: leadership development, strategy formulation and execution, and organizational culture assessment and improvement. In this episode, she answers the questions about fear or anxiety over the unknown future ahead, how you can navigate through something when you don't know what you don't know, and how you can scale if you're not sure where you are in your growth stage.   Jack Daly is a leading Sales Speaker and Trainer and has spent over 30 years of his career helping salespeople and executives succeed. In 2022, Jack released his 10th book, Jack Daly's Life By Design, which shares with the world his special recipe for life well lived. If you believe you have to burn yourself out or overextend yourself to “have it all,” then this episode is for you. Jack believes yes, you can have it all, but it has to start with an intentional and thoughtful plan, or else it will not be sustainable.   In a panel discussion of Scaling Up Insights, Bill is joined by panelists Neale Lewis, Stacy Eads, and Judy Guido to discuss the latest advancements in the world of Scaling Up. This discussion details the biggest takeaway from the pandemic is that being vulnerable is okay, how to stop “problem-solving” their team's stress and instead take a step back and get real and vulnerable, and how you can get a job working for Warren Buffet.   Ron Price is the President and Founder of Price Associates, a global leadership performance firm. He is an internationally-recognized business advisor, executive coach, speaker, and author. He is also the author of the new book, Optimizing Strategy For Results, and this conversation is all about strategy! For some leaders, planning ahead can come seamlessly, for others, not so much. You might have run into a problem where you've planned a cohesive strategy, but when it comes to the execution, it doesn't quite turn out the way you've envisioned. Ron shares how you can optimize your strategy for maximum impact.   Interview Links: “Getting Real with Michael Solomon — 10X Management” “Chris Ronzio — The Business Playbook” “Alison Horstmeyer — Why Your Curiosity Matters” “Jason Forrest — The Mindset of a Sales Warrior” “Marissa Levin — Build a Great Advisory Board” “Jack Daly — Have It All with Intentionality” “Scaling Up Insights — Coach Panel with Neale Lewis, Stacy Eads, and Judy Guido” “Ron Price — Strategic Execution”   Resources: 20,000 Scaleups Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)

My guest this week is Marissa Levin. We're talking about her spiritual journey, moving from the unconscious beliefs that keep you stuck in fine to conscious beliefs that allow you thrive. Why she walked away from the company she spent 17 years building. And how the relationships in your life can help you know yourself better.   Marissa's been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years and recently launched Marissa International with a mission of helping one billion people access their most joyful life. She's also a best-selling author, speaker, transformation catalyst, and a mom of 2 incredible young men.   I love that she teaches how to say no to the good so you can say yes to the great. Her life mantra is “when you become part of the universe, the universe becomes part of you.” Living with a grateful heart, she passionately believes our best life is ahead of us at every moment.     Today's episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. The question many people are asking lately is how do I find and maintain peace of mind? With everything going on in your world, and the world as a whole, staying grounded can be challenging. Yet, your happiness and well-being are dependent on your ability to find your center. To tap into your inner knowing. Your health and sanity are at stake here. This is where the F*ck Being Fine program for individuals and companies comes in. It's time to stop saying everything's fine when, clearly, your hair is on fire. You want to learn how to stay calm and grounded no matter what's going on around you? There are people who live this way and you can be one of them. If you're intrigued by this possibility, message me at Lori@ZenRabbit.com or text me at 571.317.1463.

Do you ever feel fear or anxiety over the unknown future ahead? How can you navigate through something when you don't know what you don't know? And more importantly, how can you scale if you're not sure where you are in your growth stage? Today's guest has some answers.   Marissa Levin has been an entrepreneur for over 25 years and is a globally-recognized growth strategist. In 1995, she launched her first business and grew it to $13 million in revenue. Her current venture, Successful Culture, is a leadership consulting organization that helps CEOs master the three most critical aspects of business growth: leadership development, strategy formulation and execution, and organizational culture assessment and improvement.   Building your first company can often feel like building a plane while you're flying it. Every day, you're just hoping you're making the right decision to move forward. However, an advisory board can be the most compelling and effective strategic tool that leadership can use to get to their next level of growth. Why reinvent the wheel when you can leverage the knowledge of those before you?   When Marissa built her first company, one of the first things she began to do was ask for help and to find people who could teach her what she needed to learn. She knew she was flying blind. So many times, entrepreneurs are in the “I don't know what I don't know” quadrant and are unable to prepare for pivots and upcoming disasters that a more seasoned entrepreneur can see miles away.   Interview Links: Sponsored by: Bit.ly/clariontech Successfulculture.com Marissa on LinkedIn Built to Scale: How Top Companies Create Breakthrough Growth through Exceptional Advisory Boards, by Marissa Levin   Resources: Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)

MARISSA'S TIP TO EMERGING SALES LEADERS: "Make a list of what you should start and a list of what you should stop doing. Focus on the things you can control such as your diet and the food that you're taking into your body. Are you exercising and getting fresh air? Are you calling people to feel connected to them? What about the content that you are digesting? We all need to focus on bringing in positivity and identifying the things that we must take out of our lives. And, it's so important to ask for help. You do not need to go through this alone at all."

Mindset, values, resourcefulness, and collaboration are a leader’s essential tools to success.

Today our expert guest is Marissa Levin, a 25-year entrepreneur, speaker, and globally-recognized growth strategist. Her lifetime legacy mission is to educate, equip, and empower a hundred million entrepreneurs and leaders with the skill sets and mindsets they need to reach their greatest potential. She wrote the #1 best-selling book Built to Scale: How Companies Create Breakthrough Growth Through Exceptional Advisory Boards. Using her model, her organization has helped CEOs select and implement highly effective advisory boards, which is essential for any business looking to grow exponentially. She is also the author of My Company Rocks: 8 Secrets to a Growth-Driven Culture and a contributor to You at Work: Unlocking Human Potential at the Workplace. She is also a leadership columnist for Inc. Magazine. Inspired to start her company because she worked for someone who didn't value her. She wasn't going to make any more money working for the company she was with, and she knew she was worth so much more, so she decided she needed to start her own company. Marissa's masters degree was in Human Resources and Organizational Development. The company she built had to pivot multiple times in order to stay relevant. When she launched the company, the only place that people were learning were in classrooms. She took that online by developing user guides, online help systems, and materials for instructor-led material. John Chamber, the CEO at the time at CISCO, announced that e-learning would be the “killer application” of the internet, and Marissa had to change her business overnight. In order to become what the market needed, but still be true to who they were, they had to become a web-based training company. That required her to bring on a lot of creative talent and allow them to expand their offerings into different fields. When social media really started to take a foothold, Marissa knew that it was going to change everything. Where traditionally the CEO of a company controlled all messaging, once everyone in the company could make a LinkedIn or Facebook page, it began to flatten organizations because everyone in the company had a voice. Why is building community in organizations and in life so critical? One of the most important factors for a successful life is to belong to multiple communities. It creates a feeling of belonging. One of the ways this gets applied to the corporate world is to build an advisory board made up of people from different communities. Marissa eventually wrote a book, Built to Scale, around the power of advisory boards. In that book, she introduced the SCALE Model, which stands for Select, Compensate, Associate, Leverage, and Evaluate, Evolve & Exit. It's a 5-phase model that leads a business owner through the process of how to strategically and intentionally select the advisors around them based on the holes and goals of their organization.   This is what each phase looks like: -Select: Analyze your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as it relates to your advisory board. Be intentional about who you are bringing in to fill in those holes and reach those goals. -Compensate: You need to show your advisors that you value what they do and are willing to make an investment, whether that's cash, trade, or stock. -Associate: How you associate with your advisors, including legally (non-compete, NDA, etc.) and process of integration. -Leverage: This is all the different ways you can take advantage of your advisory board. There are over 70 of these in the book, and there are even more than that if you can get creative. -Evaluate, Evolve, and Exit: Arrange to revisit each advisors involvement, evolve your board as your company grows, and if you find you've outgrown an advisor, make sure to give them a gracious and grateful exit.   Just like communities are important to us as individuals, advisory boards act as a place for diverse opinions from different communities to come together and improve upon each other. Use the SCALE model above, as well as the tips in her book, to build the advisory board that can blow up your business growth.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “For leaders, never underestimate the influence you have on the people who work for you.

In this episode, Marissa Levin shares aspects of her Built to SCALE™ solution to breakthrough growth through exceptional advisory boards [which is based on her #1 best-selling book on this topic]. Marissa’s a 25-year entrepreneur, speaker, author, and globally recognized growth strategist with a lifetime legacy mission to educate, equip, and empower 100 million entrepreneurs and leaders! Whether you’re a start-up or a well-established multi-million dollar firm, this episode’s for you. Listen in, then contact Marissa at info@successfulculture.com to discuss your advisory board needs.

Marissa Levin is a 25-year entrepreneur, speaker, & globally recognized growth strategist, Marissa’s lifetime legacy mission is to educate, equip, & empower 100 million entrepreneurs & leaders with the skillsets and mindsets they need to reach their greatest potential. Marissa Levin’s entrepreneurial journey began in 1995 when she launched Information Experts, a strategic communications and education firm. She launched her firm as a solopreneur with a $35,000 contract and led/grew the organization to approximately $13 million in revenue until she resigned in 2012. Under her leadership, Information Experts won more than 80 awards for creativity & leadership, was named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest Growing Companies for 2009, 2010, and 2011, won the 2010 SmartCEO GovStar Industry Star Award, and was known as a trailblazer in establishing an extraordinary employee-centric culture that fully supported work-life integration and a core value of "responsible flexibility." In 2012, she launched Successful Culture, a leadership consulting organization that helps CEOs master the 3 most critical aspects of business growth: leadership development, strategy formulation & execution, and organizational culture assessment & improvement. In 2017, she co-founded Women’s CEO Roundtable, a professionally facilitated year-long program for women business owners from non- competing organizations that are committed to scaling beyond $1 million in revenue.  Every culture needs to be intentional. Establishing your values starts with understanding that you are a leader as a parent, and that you are always being observed by your children. Always being honest as a parent is the foundation of integrity for your family. It all starts with us leading out with our example of living our values. I've been thinking a lot about this concept of being goal-oriented and how this is what having a family culture is all about. When you have a set vision for your family, then you have to set goals to achieve those ends. Becoming goal-oriented means getting clear on that vision, getting clear on why you do what you do, and setting clear boundaries for how to achieve those goals. Marissa talks a lot about being very values-centered, and that she would reinforce their goals and vision by reinforcing their values. I also think that there is something to this when it comes to culture in general. I recently read a book that discusses poverty culture, and how often those in poverty cannot see into long-term ends because they need to tackle their immediate problems. While my family is far from being in poverty, I feel that I often catch myself getting distracted by the immediate crisis that I forget about the long-term gains of staying focused on a larger goal. I will likely post an episode on this next week, so I won't go into it too much here. I just think this is something that is very important for developing our family culture: our beliefs, our mindset, and our habits filter through to become our culture.  Find more about Marissa at https://www.successfulculture.com Join the Family Success Toolkit Free Membership http://homeandfamilyculture.com

Marissa Levin grew up with a dad that spent 40 years as a NASA rocket scientist; it's hard to not feel like an underachiever. However, Marissa is anything but.

If you're looking to learn how to bring the best out of your self and your people this is the episode for you.

Marrisa’s mother was actively engaged in supporting AIDS patients since the eighties, when AIDS was still surrounded by mystery and fear.  The example of her parents stuck with her throughout her life and inspired her to make her own contribution to enabling others live a life of dignity and potential.

Ideas for Board of Director’s Compensation Every once in a while, a newspaper or a business magazine publishes an article exposing overinflated salaries of board members. While it may be true for some big corporations, the same cannot be said for the rest. Companies have different options on how to compensate their board members other than handing over a colossal sum of money or equity in the company. There are two major ways companies compensate their board members; either through equity or cash compensation. It is important that a company compensate board members in a manner that promotes their long-term interests and goals. We had an in-depth discussion with some well-experienced board members, and examined the pros and cons of both ways of compensating advisory boards or board of directors compensation. Compensating with Equity While researching her book, Marissa Levin, an expert on boards, came across a long-standing attorney and compensation expert. There are four different ways to use equity as board member’s compensation and according to this compensation expert: “Never give more than one quarter to one half of one percent to each board member you have.” A hazard of compensating with equity arises when board members leave the company. Marissa advises, “Put in a one year agreement with a restricted stock clause that allows you to buy back that stock, basically at a penny, in the event that you roll off that board.” Because the last thing a company wants is to give a large portion of equity to somebody who only works part-time for them. And if that board member doesn’t work out, then the company has someone walking around outside the company who owns a large portion of stock with no interest in the organization. Another thing for companies to consider is that you should be very prudent with the stock. This is something start-ups should especially consider because they usually have very little revenues so they cannot pay the board member very much or at all and, as a result, allot 5- 6% equity as the board member’s compensation. Although initially that might not seem to be a big amount, but as the company grows that small percentage can amount to a large sum. Like Marissa says, “If you build a company to $5, $10, $15, $20, $30, $50 million dollars, that’s a lot of money to be giving to somebody basically ‘cart blanche’.” Monetary Compensation Jeff Thompson has served in the board of directors for 10 years at Edelbrock Corporation. He was also a member of the executive, compensation and audit committees. Talking about compensating public board of directors, Jeff explained that they do things a bit differently. “We paid every member a fee for the quarterly meeting. It wasn’t a large amount of money but we also covered all their expenses,” said Jeff. The expenses included travel expenses, as the company had people coming in from all over the country. An additional perk that public boards had was a small pool of stock for the board members, which amounted to 1-2% of the company. The money was vested over a 5-7 year period to ensure long-term loyalty from its board members. Jeff said, “In order to earn the stock, you had to have long-term plans and goals with the company. So if you left early, you didn’t get much of anything.” In the event a board member rolled off the board due to term limits, since they had earned that investment, they would have the right to either to keep the stock or sell it back to the company. It’s important that you let go of board members in a way that doesn’t leave hard feelings between either party. Marissa said, “The most important thing you can do is keep the doors open and never burn any bridges because you don’t know if you might want them back at some later date or they could refer you to another advisor.” In her company, she sets up an ‘exit interview’ to make sure that there is closure in a professional manner so that everybody feels good about the experience.

Daniel goes solo in a special Thanksgiving episode, talking about why and how to make gratefulness and thankfulness a part of your everyday life. Notes/Outline: Where we're going with this episode - make gratefulness and thanksgiving a year-round thing that will help you personally and as a leader Marissa Levin in Inc.com talking about the best ways to start your day I often ask our guests how they like to start their day, and this has come up as an answer #2 is Practice Gratitude Starting with gratitude doesn't remove the challenges that are ahead of us, but help us get into the right mindset to take them on Lifehack.org article Gratitude is the number one ritual to empower your day and change your life It is not happy people who are thankful, but thankful people who are happy Brian Biro (Episode 002) - When asked how he starts his day, responded that he asks himself what he's thankful for and says thanks. Lewis Howes on Gratitude Turns what we have into being enough Avoid comparison and relativity Always someone with more than us As a leader, always someone more successful But gratefulness for what you do have is empowering, no matter how small Gary Vaynerchuck - "my energy, every single ounce of it, comes from gratitude." Born in former Soviet Union and parents moved here when he was a kid Now a superstar in his space Grateful knowing where he could have lived President John F. Kennedy - As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. How can we act with gratitude/thankfulness? Tell people your thankful for them Do an act of kindness Zig Ziglar - Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for. Ties into the idea that if you are faithful with little you'll be blessed with alot There is a cycle that can develop where you more you are grateful the more you'll receive and the more you'll be grateful. What does the Bible say about gratefulness and thanksgiving? 1 Thes. 5:18 - give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Personal growth experts, life coaches, etc. are all emphasizing gratefulness, and there is a reason it works - because that's how God made us! Philippians 4:12 - I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. If you're in a tough season and need something to be thankful for, Psalms 139:14 - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. You are created by God He loves you He made a way for you to spend eternity with him through his son Jesus All of the Earthly blessings God has given are temporary and can be taken away at any time, so putting all our worth/value/hope in those things is a mistake. Put your hope in Him! Closing Don't just give thanks once per year on Thanksgiving Use today as a reason to start a 21 or 30 day challenge to start each day being grateful I'm thankful for you the listener! Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

Did you know one of the most critical steps for the success of any business is having an advisory board? No matter how big or small your organization is an advisory board is a necessary component to developing and growing your business and your revenue with integrity. On this episode of the Grow My Revenue Business Cast our guest is an expert on this topic. She is Marissa Levin, successful business owner and author of Built to Scale, a book on how to find and implement your ideal advisory board using her S.C.A.L.E. model. Get ready to take some insightful notes as we dig into all of that and more today! Listen to this episode and discover: - When do you need to think about your advisory board? - Why you must be ready and committed to change when you bring on an advisory board. - The 4 biggest mistakes Marissa sees companies make when selecting an advisory board. - Should your compensation for your advisory board be performance-based? - What is a restricted stock agreement and should you have one? - And so much more… Episode Overview Marissa Levin learned firsthand how valuable advisory boards are: her first company is now 20 years old and thriving, but several years ago she felt they had hit a plateau. With over 70 projects going on a time there seemed to be chaos constantly, and she couldn't figure out how to create structure and order. One of her personal advisors suggested she create an advisory board. With that brilliant idea in mind Marissa set out to find out how to do it, she wanted the formula and the process for finding, creating and implementing her board. But there was nothing out there aside from people who said it was a good idea and it should be done. So she used herself as a guinea pig: she went through the process and meticulously documented what worked, what didn't and what she learned. From that came her book Built to Scale and the now-international formula of S.C.A.L.E. On today's show we discuss both the book and what the formula stands for so you can apply it to your advisory board. Also on this episode she explains the top mistakes she sees people making when choosing their board members and how to avoid following in their footsteps, plus a great lesson on how beneficial it is to operate with integrity and the intention to help others.
