Karlyn Ankrom is the founder and lead strategist of Oh Snap! Social and creator of the Fan Firestarter Framework, a new approach to social media marketing made specifically for businesses tempted to fake their own death and flee to Tahiti at the mere thought of content creation. Karlyn developed her user-friendly strategy after working for a decade with a variety of brick-and-mortar businesses that were decidedly socially allergic, not because they didn't want to do social media, but because they were intimidated by it. In response, her new system helps newbies get on the fast track to unsticking their social media in just one hour per week.00:00 - 00:19 "For me, I'm a big proponent of followers don't matter because what really matters is your engagement and whether they're actually engaging. So I think finally, publishers are starting to say, OK, yes, let's look at the total audience. Great.

Concevoir des plans est devenu une part essentielle de mon travail, en particulier les plans de développement. C'est un exercice loin d'être simple – je dirais même que c'est un art. Il faut identifier ce qui est prioritaire, définir la manière dont on va s'y prendre et choisir les bons indicateurs pour mesurer si l'on atteint nos objectifs. Pour le balado, j'ai souvent tenté d'élaborer des plans pour mon propre développement. Bien humblement, je dois admettre que les choses ne se sont pas toujours déroulées comme prévu. Dans ma quête d'amélioration, j'ai voulu consacrer un épisode à la conception des plans. Après plusieurs recherches, mon choix s'est arrêté sur Measure What Matters de John Doerr. Sa méthode a largement contribué au succès de Google. Son livre s'avère pratique et inspirant sur le plan humain. Dans cet épisode, je partage mes plus grandes leçons sur la conception et l'utilisation des plans – celles qui m'ont marqué et qui, je l'espère, seront utiles à mes auditeurs.

In this month's episode of the Leader Breeder Podcast, host Aidan Jeffery explores the crucial distinction between "outputs" and "outcomes" and how understanding this difference can lead to more effective leadership across various domains such as business, career, ministry, and personal life.Drawing insights from books like "Measure What Matters" by John Doerr and "Who Does What By When," Aidan delves into the importance of shifting from an output-driven culture, which focuses merely on completing tasks, to an outcome-driven culture that emphasizes achieving specific, measurable results.He offers practical advice on how leaders can stimulate thought, streamline efforts, and align activities with strategic objectives to drive real value and positive change.Whether you're a pastor, business owner, or organizational leader, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to leadership by focusing on measurable, impactful outcomes instead of just staying busy with outputs.

From Intel's engineering labs to Silicon Valley's unicorns, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) have transformed how tech companies translate vision into measurable outcomes. But what separates successful OKR implementations from failed experiments? And how can technology leaders avoid the common pitfalls that derail even well-intentioned rollouts? In this episode, we dive deep with leaders who've shaped OKR practices at some of tech's most influential companies. Our guests Josh Seiden, Holly Bielawa, and Deepika Yerragunta share battle-tested insights from their experiences at Intel, Amazon, Google, and beyond. The episode compiles the best segments around getting started on your OKR journey, de-risking and iterating your rollout, and our guests' tips on self-checking the health of your OKR implementation.  Whether you're launching your first OKR initiative or iterating on an existing framework, you'll learn practical strategies for cascading objectives across teams while maintaining strategic alignment. Our conversation includes war stories from the field, as well as intuitive insights on what actually works: fostering genuine collaboration, maintaining human centricity, and achieving the elusive balance between ambition and accountability.  Watch full episodes with Josh, Holly and Deepika here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL31JETR9AR0FGx2A9HQbq2e1Xywkqb6BQ     Inside the episode...

After they took meetings with a variety of successful tech execs, they came back to Doerr and told him “We've got some good news and some bad news.” The good news was that they agreed on the need for a CEO; the bad news, Doerr recalls, is that they believed there was only one person qualified for the role: The then-CEO of Pixar and interim CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. In this encore presentation of the 100th episode of Grit, John and Joubin discuss the urgent need to act on the climate crisis, getting turned down by Kleiner Perkins, CEOs as sales leaders, the microprocessor revolution, balancing between work and family, the opportunity of AI and sustainability, what makes Jeff Bezos special, Bing Gordon and the invention of Amazon Prime, the Google CEO search, how the iPhone nearly killed Apple, Steve Jobs' greatest gift, Bill Gates' philanthropy, and how Doerr divides his time.In this episode, we cover: John's two books — Measure What Matters and Speed & Scale — and applying OKRs to the climate crisis (02:39) How John got to Silicon Valley and what he learned from his entrepreneurial father, Lou (08:55) “I didn't want to be in venture capital” (16:27) Joining Kleiner Perkins at the dawn of personal computing (20:03) The internet, cloud computing, smartphones, and the next big tech wave: AI (24:41) How John met Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (29:46) Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and teaming up with Mike Moritz from Sequoia (38:26) John's friendship with Steve Jobs and the creation of the $100 million iFund for iPhone apps (45:12) “Family first” and setting personal OKRs (50:10) Working with Bill Gates outside of Kleiner Perkins (52:51) Brian Roberts, Comcast, and hustling to make at-home broadband nationwide (59:28) Links: Connect with John Twitter LinkedIn Connect with Joubin Twitter LinkedIn Email: grit@kleinerperkins.com  Learn more about Kleiner Perkins This episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

In this episode, we dive into the topic of what to measure when it comes to complex work and personal goals. Host Todd Henry shares his insights on how to determine what is worth tracking and what is not. He emphasizes the importance of starting with your desired outcomes and objectives instead of focusing solely on the activities. Todd introduces two types of metrics to consider: tactical metrics and time metrics. He provides a practical example of how he used different metrics to measure his progress in writing and editing a book. Finally, Todd warns against the common mistake of mixing up tactical and time metrics in organizations. Key learnings from this episode:1. Begin by identifying your desired outcomes and objectives before determining what to measure.2. Utilize tactical metrics to measure specific activities that contribute to your overall objective.3. Shift to time metrics when deep cognitive work is involved, as sustained focused time is crucial for producing quality work.4. Measure the amount of deep focused time spent on a task or project, rather than focusing solely on the number of hours spent.5. Avoid mixing up tactical and time metrics in organizations, as it may result in measuring the wrong things and hindering progress.Get three quick ideas to start your week off right!

The Frontier Psychiatrists is a newsletter. It's written by one Psychiatrist, Owen Muir, M.D. It's a health-themed newsletter. It's also an exercise in imperfection. That imperfection is not an accident. Here is the story…An influential book in my life? It is not about medicine. The book is called Measure What Matters. It is by John Doerr; you can buy it on Amazon with that link! John writes about the system called objectives and key results (OKRs). Andy Grove originally developed this management and goalsetting methodology at Intel.I think it's a meaningful bulwark against perfectionism. It is a philosophy. OKRs are a system for setting measurable goals. But—there is a quirk. This quirk makes it different—and more powerful— than other goal-setting approaches. The system works as follows: * set an overarching objective, and the point is to be audacious. I'll give you a very real-world example:“I'm going to write a great health-related newsletter (all by myself) that influences people's decision-making towards a better future.”Now, here's the trick: you have to figure out how to determine if you're moving toward that goal. And it has to be measurable. When you start this process, you don't necessarily know the best way to measure things for yourself or a larger organization; this is the scaffold.There are rules: * At the end of your audacious goal, you add the statement: “as measured by:”Next, you limit yourself to between two and three (easily) measurable key results demonstrating that you are appropriately pursuing that goal. The quirk is* if you achieve more than 70% of your key results in any given quarter, you did it WRONG. Getting it perfect means you didn't get it RIGHT.My God, right?This is a system to learn how to set audacious goals! I could've set my goals for this newsletter— and did— as follows: “as measured by… publishing an article every single day.”That is a “key result.”This is not the same as a key performance indicator (KPI). Key performance indicators are measurable. Some, however, are all or never—you don't want to close 70% of surgical wounds! Many things are measurable; not all KPIs are useful tools in this OKR framework.All Key Results are KPIs; not all KPIs are suitable Key Results for your strivings.I write an article almost every single day. I will calculate that for my readers at the end of this quarter, and you can see how I did. I didn't know what key results were the best way to build an influenced audience with this newsletter. Did I get it wrong with this key result? First, I have achieved the goal more than 70% of the time! I underestimated the difficulty, and thus the audaciousness, of a daily one-person newsletter for me as a writer. By writing a daily Health-themed newsletter, I failed to be audacious enough! Or I didn't select the right tools with which to measure. I would probably want to set another key result to guide me when I revisit the original goal and its measurement. Which is very much the point. OKRs are not “set and forget”. They are set and revisited. It's an iterative process. We learn, with OKRs, that successfully striving is the meta-goal. We know if we succeed by measuring iteratively, and in failing to be perfect, we learn the right degree of stretch in any epoch.Perfection is imperfect. Striving is a learned behavior and a set of skills. Not always striving is an easy way to avoid the audacious. In my example, my daily publication schedule might not be the best way to achieve my goals.I'd have to find a better way to measure. Repeat.Perfection is poison for those who wish to strive. To succeed at striving is to fail… the right amount, over and over. OKRs are an antidote to the hopelessness of perfectionism and the fragility of narcissism. This is a public episode.

There's almost nothing that we can't measure - and so we tend to measure everything.  However, too often we end up measuring what we can, and not necessarily what's important or meaningful.We see this in the fascination we all have with the number of likes or views a social media post gets.  But do ‘likes' really mean that people actually like your product or want to buy your products?  Usually not.So if views alone are not that meaningful, what does matter?  What should we be measuring - and how should be measuring it?Meet Katie Paine, a pioneer in the field of measurement for over three decades - and known as the Measurement Queen.She's the founder of KDPaine & Partners Inc., and The Delahaye Group, both measurement companies.   Katie was recently awarded the prestigious IPR Jack Felton Medal for Lifetime Achievement, an award made for lifetime contributions in the advancement of research, measurement and evaluation in public relations and corporate communication.She's also the author of several books including Measure What Matters, and most recently Measuring the Networked Nonprofit.In this episode, Katie will be discussing:1.  Why numbers don't matter, its about who you reach not how many2.

Host Jenny Herald dives deep into the journey of Ben Lamorte, the renowned OKRs expert and founder of okrs.com, in this captivating episode of Dreams With Deadlines. Discover Ben's transformation from a network engineer to an OKR visionary as he shares his profound insights on deploying successful OKRs, overcoming challenges, and his bold coaching framework.Key Things Discussed: Unveiling the 10 universal deployment parameters for successful OKRs implementation. Exploring the distinction between milestone and metric key results and when to use each. Understanding the roles of OKRs project leads and the importance of executive sponsorship. Unpacking the real-world examples where OKRs drive outcomes over outputs. Gaining valuable perspectives on the application of OKRs in cross-functional and rapid growth areas. Show Notes [00:00:19] Introduction and Ben Lamorte's Enthusiasm for OKRs [00:00:48] OKRs as a Critical Thinking Framework: Ben describes OKRs as a critical thinking framework, emphasizing the importance of ongoing discipline and asking three key questions: Where do we want to focus for near-term progress? How do we know we've achieved the objective? What is the intended outcome of the task? These questions help define objectives and key results, align efforts, and prioritize measurable impact. [00:04:38] The Importance of Embedding Alignment in OKRs: Ben discusses the trend of embedding alignment throughout the entire OKRs program, emphasizing its importance as a critical success factor. He highlights the shift away from cascading OKRs directly and notes that more organizations are now implementing OKRs correctly from the start, leading to positive developments in the OKRs landscape. [00:08:37] Mantras for Successful OKRs Implementation: Ben shares five key mantras for successful OKRs implementation: "less is more" to focus on a small set of OKRs, "crawl, walk, run" to scale gradually after achieving success, "OKRs are not everything" as they represent the most important areas for progress, "the only way to learn OKRs is to do OKRs" by practical implementation, and "outcomes, not output" to measure intended results. The discussion also hints at the emerging trend of embedding alignment into every aspect of the OKRs program. [00:13:05] Embedding Alignment in OKRs for Organizational Cohesion: Ben highlights the importance of alignment in OKRs, emphasizing the need for clear answers to key questions and achieving both top-down and horizontal alignment. He explains that alignment should be established at each stage of the OKRs program to ensure organizational cohesion and addresses the ongoing nature of aligning throughout the OKRs journey. [00:17:00] The Importance of Universal Deployment Parameters in OKRs: Ben highlights the importance of universal deployment parameters as foundational prerequisites for successful OKRs implementation. These parameters, including setting the OKR level and defining the OKR cycle duration, play a crucial role in ensuring effective OKRs training and implementation. [00:22:55] 10 Universal Deployment Parameters for Effective OKRs Implementation: Ben identifies 10 essential parameters to define before implementing OKRs. These parameters are crucial for successful OKR implementation and training workshops.These parameters include levels, number of OKRs, scoring methods, cycle duration, milestone vs metric key results, OKR publishing and storage, performance review integration, KPI vs key result differentiation, alignment, and bottom-up involvement. [00:28:53] Roles in Defining Deployment Parameters: Defining the 10 universal deployment parameters for OKRs involves OKRs project leads from various functional teams and the executive sponsor, allowing for training based on these parameters and the flexibility to make adjustments in subsequent cycles. [00:31:32] The Distinction and Appropriate Use of Milestone Key Results: Milestone key results represent significant achievements or outcomes that indicate progress towards a future metric key result, such as obtaining permits to begin construction or listing an app on the Apple Store, and can be valuable in certain situations to track progress and set the stage for future success. [00:36:56] Distinguishing Between Output and Outcome Key Results: Jenny and Ben discuss the distinction between output and outcome key results, emphasizing the importance of outcome-oriented milestones that represent true outcomes and setting higher requirements for target and stretch key results. The challenge of committing to government approval is also highlighted. [00:39:45] Quick-Fire Questions for Ben: Where does Ben want to see OKRs.com by the end of the year? Ben wants to have a clearer definition of the impact of OKRs through an OKRs maturity model and quantifiable data on the success of OKRs. Where are OKRs most important within organizations? OKRs are particularly valuable in cross-functional initiatives and rapid growth areas like the environmental movement. Where does Ben think OKRs are headed? Ben believes that OKRs will continue to grow, and their application will expand beyond formalized goal-setting, becoming more of a mindset and a way of asking outcome-focused questions across the organization.

On Today's Episode: The built environment accounts for 40% of global emissions.. Decarbonizing this significant contributor to greenhouse gasses entails a strategic blend of clean energy adoption, electrifying heating and cooling systems, and enhancing buildings' grid interactivity. It is within this complex, but critical, challenge that McGee Young, founder of WattCarbon, has found his mission.Harnessing his vast entrepreneurial experience from his time with startups MeterHero and H2OScore, and as a former CTO at Recurve, Young has developed WattCarbon. This “Demand-driven Decarbonization Platform” empowers organizations with net-zero commitments to more efficiently access 24/7 carbon-free energy and procure substantial carbon offsets.WattCarbon serves as a marketplace for suppliers delivering carbon-free energy, thereby stimulating the implementation of clean energy resources. Young's belief in open source principles is woven into the platform's technology, fostering problem-solving, innovation, and transparency - all crucial for driving impactful decarbonization efforts. And his entrepreneurial experience and foresight have culminated in the development of this timely platform, one which he admittedly already tried, and failed, to launch a decade too early! Challenging assumptions about the public's understanding of clean energy and decarbonization has been a critical learning for Young. It has emphasized the need for making these concepts accessible and comprehensible, thus encouraging wider participation.Fueled by a deep-rooted commitment to environmentalism passed down from his mother, Young inspires his team to take pride in their contributions, creating an environment that values all stakeholders. This dedication, alongside his capacity to translate complex academic knowledge into tangible real-world applications, is what makes WattCarbon a pioneering force in the fight against climate change.

Welcome to another Tuesday shorty episode! Today we're talking about numbers: the numbers that you should be tracking to make sure that you can achieve your business goals. There are things that dramatically impact the end result and it's your job to pay attention to what drives the results in your business. I see a lot of business owners who just keep throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping that something is going to stick. But the problem with throwing the spaghetti at the wall is that you never know what's actually working. If you're trying way too many things and you're not tracking your results, you never actually know when something works and when everything else isn't working. So I have a question for you... In your business, could you pinpoint the one thing? That one leading metric that would tell you if you're the most likely to reach your goals? If your mind has gone blank... you need to tune into this episode. Here's what we'll dive into: A recent health journey I've been on and how it's such a great example of this topic in relation to business How to identify the "leading" metric and "lagging" metric in your business (plus examples for each) Why focusing on the wrong metrics could be impacting your mindset & productivity in a negative way How the knowledge of all of this will be able to help you reverse engineer your revenue goals Talking about numbers is never easy, but when you understand this concept you start to empower yourself. So let's dive in. xo Coach Holly ...

I have the pleasure of speaking with Carlyn Bushman, founder of Carlyn Bushman Consulting, a consulting group that helps female entrepreneurs accelerate their businesses to create reliable, sustainable revenue streams. We discuss the critical pillars of building a successful business, including financials, sales, marketing, technology, and management.   To succeed, it's crucial to understand your business's behavior and analyze alternative metrics beyond profit margin and subscriber numbers. As entrepreneurs, it's easy to get caught up in day-to-day tasks and lose sight of our long-term goals. She shares the potential negative impacts of not measuring progress and the costs it can have on your business's growth and success.   Throughout the episode, Carlyn's wisdom and experience provided valuable insights for female entrepreneurs looking to build successful businesses. From her first experience with entrepreneurship to her mission of empowering women, her passion for helping others succeed shines through.   What you'll hear in this episode: [3:15] Why Carlyn started her business and focussed on female entrepreneurs. [6:00] What is Carlyn's first memory of entrepreneurship in her own life and how has it impacted her career trajectory? [16:45] How do you start building, identifying, and monitoring your metrics? [20:40] How do you establish meaning behind these metrics and connect them to the direction of the business? [22:40] What qualitative, less structured metrics, do you recommend individuals track that may not have hard numbers associated with them? [29:15] How do you determine the root cause of a change in one of your key metrics? [31:30] What is the cost of not measuring your key metrics? [34:30] How do you help business owners overcome the feeling that their self-worth is the success of their business?   Connect with Carlyn: carlynbushmanconsulting.com IG: @carlynbushmanconsulting   * Related episodes: 236: How to Know if Your Overhead is Too Large 245: Staying Small on Purpose with Keila Hill-Trawick 264: 3 Ways Your Business is Leaking Cash   * Find everything you need at www.keepwhatyouearn.com! https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ * Questions about this episode?

Are the systems in your business not working the way you want them to?   Systems in business are the equivalent of habits in life.     If you think of systems in this way, they automatically begin to make more sense.     The beautiful thing is you can tackle creating and maintaining systems the same way you would in creating and maintaining a habit—start with improving the smallest thing, repeat it over and over, get back on track quickly when you lapse.    But inside a business, there's one more piece of the equation.    In order to improve systems that aren't working, you need to create organizational habits and alignment.  That's a little different skillset.    This podcast episode will guide you through that process.  WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: When is the best time to work on improving your system that isn't working. An easy step-by-step protocol to fix a broken system. A simple goal setting system to get your entire organization working toward a common objective.

*Want one piece of business strategy delivered daily to your inbox?* Subscribe here: geraldinecarter.com/subscribe How can CPAs grow their accounting practice when they're over capacity, underutilizing their talents and not providing optimal client support?  Many CPA firms still rely on the hourly billing business model, where the firm has to log more work hours providing services to increase revenue. It focuses on hours and deliverables, not on results and value. A compelling alternative is the subscription business model, where the provider enables serial transformations to the buyer, and continually adds value to the experience. The subscription model creates an opening for predictable, recurring, higher margin revenue.  In this week's episode, I talk about the subscription model with my guest, Ron Baker.  Ron is the founder of VeraSage Institute—the leading think tank dedicated to educating professionals internationally, and is a radio talk-show host on the www.VoiceAmerica.com show: The Soul of Enterprise: Business in the Knowledge Economy. Ron has authored seven best-selling books, including: The Firm of the Future; Pricing on Purpose; Measure What Matters to Customers; and Implementing Value Pricing. His latest book, co-authored with Paul Dunn, Time's Up!: The Subscription Business Model for Professional Firms, was published in November 2022.   In this two-part conversation (episodes 233 and 234), we talk about: Sale prices and multiples How AI can help scale businesses Disney and other big businesses using the subscription model Ways to “plus” your offer How CPA firms can shift to subscription model Highlights: — “We need to stop charging for the means and pricing the end.”  — “Strategy is about what you don't do. It's about the customers you don't have, the services you don't provide. It's all about trade offs. You simply can't be all things to all people.”  — “It's very difficult for a business to disrupt itself.”  — “CPAs have the ability to enable transformations. It's a privilege and a duty to help our customers, to make that impact on their life.” Connect with Ron: Website: https://www.thesoulofenterprise.com/ Ron's book: Time's Up: The Subscription Business Model for Professional Firms https://www.thesoulofenterprise.com/timesup Episode mentions: Subscription Business Model: Build Greater Wealth in Your CPA Firm, with Ron Baker https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/147 Time to Rethink Your Pricing Strategy?, with Ron Baker, Founder of VeraSage Institute https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/081 Breaking Away from the Mainstream Medical Model with Dr. Lewis Weiner https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/206 Selling Summit CPA for Multiples, with Jody Grunden https://www.businessstrategyforcpas.com/225 Hold My Beer and Watch Me Niche, with Josh Lance, CPA https://businessstrategyforcpas.com/212   Book mentions: Uncommon Sense, Common Nonsense by Jules Goddard https://www.amazon.com/Uncommon-Sense-Common-Nonsense-Organisations/dp/1846686024 Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John Warrillow https://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without-ebook/dp/B004IYISQW

Measure What Matters Highlights from this episode of Crushing the Day:

OVERVIEW: “You don't build a business, you build people, then people build the business.” – Zig Ziglar   Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Eric Morin, Wealth and Business coach, Forbes Speaker, Author, and CEO & Founder of Tower Leadership. Eric's passion and wisdom for business are like no other, with expertise able to scale businesses up to tenfold in revenue. In this episode, we dive into the mind of this business expert, his story of becoming one, and his timeless advice for healthcare entrepreneurs.   3 KEY POINTS: Hire great talent and build great teams who can run the show. Solidify your business' Executive and Operations roles. Reflect on "Why" you need to scale your business and build a financial strategy around that.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Eric is an entrepreneur by nature and has always had a passion for business. He did consulting work for companies with up to $20 million in Revenue by himself. When he started a Dental Practice, he grew and scaled it so quickly that specialists asked him to help other general practitioners. They've taken people from $9 million to $100 million in revenue in 12 months. He considers taking his passion for business, finance, and math to help people grow to be "a lot of fun." During their start-up stages, he would focus on the business aspects while his wife, a Dentist, would focus on all the medicine. As a start-up, they focused on two things: Pre-marketing to make sure they had patients lined up before opening the practice Assembling ang great team. Large company leaders think, "How do assemble the best team?" while smaller company leaders try to do everything themselves, significantly hindering a business' scaling pace. For Eric, the thing that attracts great talent is the opportunity to show their capabilities and build their future. Get your team excited to go with you by finding out and giving what they want and showing them where their future is headed. When getting a business partner, you must know that person, their paradigm, and their financial strategies. There are only two reasons to give up equity: Capabilities or Capital Does this person bring capital to the table? Do they have capabilities or knowledge you don't have? The Executive and Operations Roles must be 100% solid and locked in for a business to scale. So many healthcare practices that scale do not track what made them great. Eric's method for scaling a business is first to identify "why" you want to scale, then to create a financial strategy around that. As capital rises, Growth Eats Cash. As you grow, it requires more cash, and you'll need a cash flow management strategy. Leadership teams in organizations can use scorecards to measure key metrics and determine whether the practice is on pace. Eric mentions the book "Measure What Matters" by John Doerr, which talks about systems such as OKRs that have integral in large organizations. Eric's business, Tower Leadership, works with healthcare entrepreneurs who have hit a roadblock and are trying to grow and scale.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Past success doesn't always equate to future success." – Eric Morin  "There are only two reasons that you should ever give up equity: Capabilities or Capital." – Eric Morin   CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Email: support@jasonduprat.com Join our Facebook group: https://jasonduprat.com/group    RESOURCES Want to become an IV Nutritional Therapy provider?

While wrapping up my last call with my annual mastermind group, I always like challenging them to share one or two specific people that have made a difference in each individual's life. Even though it's a business mastermind, nine out of ten people will share gratitude for group members who have supported them. They've helped these members through challenges like grief, overcoming self-doubt, and so much more.  In this episode, I highlight a few questions to help guide your planning for next year, help ensure you're practicing responsible entrepreneurship, and not prioritizing profit over what really matters.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: What it looks like to put your happiness and purpose at the core of your business  My perspective on what you're really investing in when you sign up for a mastermind  The direct correlation between your support network and ability to succeed  A tracker tool that I use to measure what matters    RESOURCES Apply now for the 2023 Elite Mastermind: chrisharder.me/mastermind  Text DAILY to 310-421-0416 to get daily Money Mantras or Business Perspective messages to boost your day.     CONNECT WITH CHRIS Follow Me: @chriswharder Visit My Website: https://chrisharder.me
