In the latest episode of the Measure Success Podcast, host Carl J. Cox reveals startling statistics: up to 90% of businesses fall short of completing even two-thirds of their strategic objectives. This significant shortfall indicates a vast majority of CEOs and entrepreneurs are failing to meet their most ambitious goals, resulting in an accumulation of unachieved strategic plans. However, Carl J. Cox, the CEO and founder of 40 Strategy, assures listeners that this grim statistic need not apply to them. With a wealth of experience from leading seven organizations to exponential growth across four continents, Cox is more than qualified to guide aspiring leaders out of this rut.

Cox draws parallels between strategic planning and seemingly unrelated concepts, such as the decision to purchase a Peloton bike, to illustrate his points vividly. Additionally, he debunks the myth of success being merely about "being in the right place at the right time," using Amazon's early days as a case study for strategic foresight and execution.

In This Episode: While strategic planning certainly plays a huge role in the business world, a version of strategic planning also drives our local, state, and federal government. We usually just don't notice it, because we can't see behind the scenes. But there are still important lessons that entrepreneurs can learn from those who have worked in the public sector. Our guest this week is someone who has plenty to teach. Andy Takata has worked as a city manager and has over 21 years of experience with three full-service cities and two contract cities. He's worked in economic development, planning, recreation, development, and municipal-operated water, wastewater, and electrical utilities. Tune into the full conversation for more on some of the differences in effective strategic planning for the private sector vs the public sector, how to avoid getting distracted by “shiny objects” when you already have a set plan (plus the potential benefits of noticing those shiny objects), Andy's experience officiating water polo at the Olympics, and a lot more. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: What Andy does now, and why he came out of retirement in order to do it The two main forms of local government and the differences in how cities are run How long it takes to complete projects at the governmental level, and why these processes can sometimes take a long time How to deal with differences in political ideologies when crafting and executing long-term strategic plans for cities and communities The differences in how success is measured in the public sector vs in the private sector How Andy got involved with water polo, and how he worked his way up to eventually refereeing at the Olympics How Andy has built effective habits in his life and how those habits enabled him to keep a balance in his life despite being involved in so many things The difference between being “busy” and “busy strategically” How Andy has been able to avoid shiny object syndrome in his work, and the advice he would give to others to not get distracted by things that won't move you forward One surprising observation that Andy had about the world-class athletes at the Olympics (and the ones who didn't make the cut) How Andy measures success in his personal life — and how that might shift as he prepares to head into his second retirement Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The city of DuPont, Washington Andy Takata on LinkedIn “If it Ain't Broke…Break It!: And Other Unconventional Wisdom for a Changing Business World” by Robert J.

In This Episode: Authors — and business owners — write books for all kinds of reasons. They want to build an audience, earn money, share their expertise, attract leads, or maybe even try to become famous. But one of the most important things that happen during the book-writing process is the *internal* transformation. And that's what our guest this week is an expert at leading people through. Dr. Kent Gustavson is a prize-winning writer, entrepreneur, and musician, who has published hundreds of books and worked with thousands of authors on achieving their goals. Tune into the full conversation for more about the ghostwriting process, what makes a good ghostwriter (and why they should be similar to therapists), the benefit of writing with a small audience in mind, the big mistake that many first-time authors make, and a lot more. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: More about Kent's ghostwriting business, and how he and his team do it differently than the typical way The difference between what Kent does vs “coaching” Why Kent compares ghostwriters and editors to both therapists and strategists What “chronic curiosity” means — and why it's important to be “savage” with ghostwriting clients The biggest surprises that Kent's clients experience after working with a ghostwriter, and why transformation is such an important part of the process Why all books should be written for a small audience, and why Kent cautions against authors writing their “magnum opus” Why 99.9% of people shouldn't be focusing on “tribe building” when they write a book Why Kent's definition of measuring success involves “taking layers of varnish off” The differences between perceived success and real success The important habits Kent has integrated into his life, including those that are possible thanks to his home in Europe Why Kent sees “everything as music” (and improvisation) Some book recommendations from Kent Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Dr. Kent Gustavson's website Dr. Kent Gustavson on LinkedIn Thought Leader Press website “Angela's Ashes:A Memoir” by Frank McCourt “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams Buy a copy of “Lost at CEO: An Entrepreneur's Guide to Strategy” by Carl J.

In This Episode: When we think of pushing ourselves — in business, sports, or just life — many of us aim to be the very best at what we do. But sometimes pushing yourself can actually mean *leaving* that top spot — and setting off on a completely new journey. And that's exactly what our guest this week did in her accomplished athletic career. Wendy Fisher was a member of the U.S. National Ski Team and earned a spot on the 1992 Winter Olympic team in Albertville, France. She transitioned into big mountain skiing, becoming a two-time World Extreme Skiing Champion and one of the top skiers in the world. Listen to the full episode for more about Wendy's journey (from the U.S. National Ski Team, to quitting skiing, to a completely new branch of the sport), how she got through tragedy in her life, the habits she's kept in her life, what she's working on now, and a lot more. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: More about Wendy's journey from childhood skiing to the U.S. National Team Why Wendy had a different goal every day when she woke up other than “make the Olympic team” — and how that helped her perform better Some of the challenges Wendy experienced in the U.S. National Team atmosphere, including isolation and an eating disorder What led Wendy to eventually quitting the national team Some of the tragedies and challenges that precipitated Wendy's “never to ski again” road trip How Wendy got her start in her next sport, including a situation where onlookers told her, “We've never seen a girl do that.” How Wendy finally started to recover from the grief over the death of her brother, as well as an eating disorder Some of the lessons Wendy learned from her own experiences that she now shares with younger people, including other skiers Why Wendy needed to “pull her head out of her ass” and let go of what could have been, especially after she had her two sons Some of the habits Wendy has kept in her life, even after her competitive athletic career — and what it took for her to let go of some of the guilt of not being successful at something Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Wendy's website Wendy Fisher on Instagram Wendy Fisher on Twitter “Open: An Autobiography” by Andre Agassi “The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself” by Michael A.
