Clarify your purpose — and stop wasting time.The new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on who we are and who we want to be. As we set resolutions and prepare for evolutions, this special four-part series on communication, happiness, and well-being explores practical ways to enhance our lives through better communication, deeper connections, and more meaningful choices.As Cassie Holmes knows, how we spend our time has a big impact on our happiness and well-being. For her, that means focusing on the things not just immediately in front of us, but those that most closely align with our purpose."When I say purpose, what I mean is what really drives you," explains Holmes, a professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management and author of Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most. Living a happier and more fulfilled life, she says, rests on using purpose to drive our decisions. “Once you clarify for yourself: what is your purpose? What is your why? Then you can use that as a filter [for] where you should be spending your time.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Holmes and host Matt Abrahams explore practical strategies for being more purposeful with our time.

Joe Siecinski is the Owner and Founder of BrainSHARE Business Mentors, a small business coaching firm that helps entrepreneurs create predictable and scalable companies. As a serial coaching entrepreneur, he has coached over 1,000 clients from various organizations within the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Through programs, workshops, and specialized training, Joe mentors CEOs and executive teams to grow and expand their businesses. In this episode: During the early stages of entrepreneurship, you may find yourself assuming multiple roles to launch your business. Yet shifting frequently between various positions is highly inefficient and stunts growth. How can you allocate your time effectively to accelerate your company? Small business mentor Joe Siecinski has developed a calculated system to allow entrepreneurs to work on their companies rather than in them. The steps involve breaking down your goals into replicable processes to adjust your time allocations as you scale. To reallocate your time, Joe recommends beginning your day with a morning ritual, reviewing and planning your daily tasks, and scheduling breaks in between. If you're struggling to document these procedures, try recording each business component separately from a top-down approach.  In this episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit invites her guest Joe Siecinski, the Owner and Founder of BrainSHARE Business Mentors, to speak about restructuring your time to scale your business. Joe discusses how to update and refine existing processes, how he began coaching small businesses, and his advice for entrepreneurs who are hesitant to document systems.

Time management is a myth. You cannot manage time. Time, just ticks by. It doesn't care about you, doesn't care what your goals are, it just keeps going. It marches on. You cannot get more time. There is no such thing as more time. There is only 24 hours in a day. There is only seven days in a week. That's all the time there will be this year, next year, the year after.What you can do though is learn how to allocate your time properly, have a clear plan and clear goals.Check out this episode of the podcast to get all the tools to really get you planning properly

In this episode of the "Doing What Matters" podcast, host Teresa McCloy dives into the valuable insights offered by Michael Gerber's book, "The E-Myth Revisited." She reviews the book's significance in helping individuals (especially those in the coaching profession) understand the critical factors that contribute to the success or failure of businesses. There is a common misconception that expertise in a particular skill automatically equates to effective business management. Teresa introduces the three pivotal roles every business owner should embrace: the Entrepreneur, the Manager, and the Technician. "The E-Myth Revisited" highlights the importance of balancing these roles within a coaching business. The Entrepreneur, characterized by visionary thinking and future-oriented planning, sets the direction and possibilities for the business. The Manager, on the other hand, focuses on creating systems and processes, often resisting change to maintain stability. Finally, the Technician thrives in the present, engaging directly with clients. Teresa breaks down the ideal time allocation for each role, offering practical guidance for coaches looking to effectively manage their businesses. She also introduces the concept of the REALIFE Process's 90-day reset approach, emphasizing the need for visioning and planning to ensure long-term success. Furthermore, Teresa underscores the necessity for coaches to embrace all facets of their business, not solely focusing on client interaction. She invites listeners to explore the upcoming REALIFE Process coach certification program, highlighting the value of joining a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to personal and professional growth. The episode concludes with a reminder that building a coaching business takes dedication and effort but ultimately leads to fulfilling work that aligns with one's values and goals. Teresa provides a glimpse of the exciting developments on the horizon for the podcast and the REALIFE Process community in the upcoming fall season.

Check it out below: Chris Rawley (00:00:00) - Agriculture. And I'd say real estate, too, is the are the two industries that touch every single person on the planet. Everybody's going to have a place to stay and everybody's got to have something to eat. So it's not a it's a growing industry, just like real estate. As the population grows, people are going to consume more food, more calories. And so there has to be more farmers and farms to produce it. And as that happens, we have to do it more sustainably.   Sam Wilson (00:00:23) - Welcome to the How to scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Chris Raleigh is the CEO of Harvest Returns, an agricultural investment platform. He has invested in real estate and income producing agriculture for over two decades. Chris, welcome to the show.   Chris Rawley (00:00:47) - Thanks a lot for having me here.   Sam Wilson (00:00:48) - Sam Absolutely. The pleasure's mine. Chris There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less.   Sam Wilson (00:00:54) - Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Chris Rawley (00:00:58) - Well, like a lot of people in my real estate investing career, I started with single family homes, um, just rental property. And that quickly evolved into multiple single family homes and duplexes and that evolved into land. And then that evolved into I wanted to invest in a farm and there wasn't a good way to do it. So I decided to go the hard way and built a platform for not only myself to be able to invest in farms and ranches, but other people as well. So we've put together over $30 million syndicated farm and ranch and agribusiness deals and been going strong since 2016.   Sam Wilson (00:01:36) - Okay, fantastic. Tell us about the opportunity in agricultural investing.   Chris Rawley (00:01:43) - Yeah. So, you know, the first thing that it's important to know about agriculture is the basis of it is food or the basis of food is agriculture. And we take that for granted. You know, we all go out to eat.   Chris Rawley (00:01:57) - We go to the grocery store, we pretty much got whatever we want 24 over seven, 365 Food is in. Produce is always in season because it's shipped in here from Mexico and South America and beef and lamb shipped from Australia. So so we have we're very blessed in the United States to have access to food and other countries are not they don't have that same benefit. So if you're an investor and you're interested in where your food comes from and how it's produced, investing in a farm or a ranch or an agriculture business is a great way to kind of make that connection and get a little bit more in tune with the food system. On top of that, you know, agriculture and I'd say real estate, too, is the are the two industries that touch every single person on the planet. Everybody's going to have a place to stay and everybody's got to have something to eat. So it's not a it's a growing industry, just like real estate. As the population grows, people are going to consume more food, more calories.   Chris Rawley (00:02:55) - And so there has to be more farmers and farms to produce it. And as that happens, we have to do it more sustainably. So that's kind of the other dynamic that's going on within agriculture right now as technology is being applied to produce food more sustainably and more efficiently.   Sam Wilson (00:03:13) - Right? No, undoubtedly the need is obvious. You know, the need for food won't go away. Tell us about if there is an opportunity from an investment standpoint, like where are you? Where are we in the investing in agriculture kind of cycle if there is even such a thing?   Chris Rawley (00:03:34) - Yeah, you know, there are cycles in agriculture. They revolve around commodities for the most part. So prior to Covid, you know, there's base commodities, things like soybeans and corn. We're kind of in a in a downslope and beef. And now they're there on the especially with food inflation that we've all experienced. Every single one of us has seen that whether you're going to Chick fil A or a five star restaurant, you know that food costs more these days.   Chris Rawley (00:04:04) - And it's it's part of that cycle now. We try to avoid that cycle by investing in kind of specialty types of agriculture products like grass fed livestock that tend to be a little bit more immune to some of the commodity fluctuations. And and indoor agriculture is one of our little specialty niches and and some more other niche things like, like wineries, vineyards. Um, so those are things that, that we hope are inflation proof but also not so impacted by fluctuations in commodities. So if you're looking at farmland itself, there's a lot of people that want to invest in farmland. I would say they're at the top of the cycle right now. Farmland appreciated quite a bit over the past 3 or 4 years, especially what we call row crop farmland, which is things like wheat and soybeans that everybody's familiar with. But for the smaller specialty niche sort of ag spaces that we like to invest in, I think we're not really in a market cycle necessarily.   Sam Wilson (00:05:07) - Got it. Yeah. I want to I want to touch on on that for just a second and then hear kind of what you guys are seeing, where you guys are seeing the opportunity because yeah, I mean, we've seen everybody from Bill Gates to I mean, just everybody and their mother, it seems as investing in farmland.   Sam Wilson (00:05:22) - I actually had lunch with a I'm based here in the Mississippi Delta, of course. So we've got row crops galore across the arc. I mean, we're ten minutes from Arkansas and I got a buddy over there that buys just, you know, he's a broker, but also just buys tons and tons of farmland. And he had never done syndications. He said, hey, you know, we're trying to pull some investors together. I want to do an investigator, you know, and we started talking return profiles. And it was in like 1% annually and returns on cash on cash basis. And I'm like, who's investing? Like who's like, who are you getting that cares about a 1% return? Right. And farmland and obviously it was row crop. You know it's again it's it's the it's the commodities it's the like you mentioned soybeans, corn, wheat, the stuff that everybody grows. But I just wondered from an investment cycle how you guys were different. It sounds like you are like you're not just Yeah.   Chris Rawley (00:06:14) - That yeah. And you know for your buddies that there is that 1% which is probably the annual rents from the cash crops. That's yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:06:22) - That's it.   Chris Rawley (00:06:23) - Land appreciation you know land is they're not making any more of it as all saying goes and especially farmland becomes more and more scarce. But you know, it's, it's an overbought market. That's my personal standpoint right now kind of kind of farmland. That doesn't mean you can't make money over the long term. And it is a long term sort of thing. You're dealing with a speed of biology. You know, people like tree crops. We've done some things like hazelnuts and things like that where you might plant a tree, but it's going to take you seven years or so to start getting some sort of cash flow. So people have to be patient. You have to be creative in the way you structure these deals. You have to be creative in the way that the companies are able to achieve cash flows. So it's it's a lot different than just going out and buying land.   Chris Rawley (00:07:09) - If people want to do that, that's great. And there are ways to do that. There's farmland, REITs and publicly traded stocks and things like that. You can do that. But for our particular investments, something like grass fed livestock, we're actually investing in a ranch operation. There may be a land component, might be a high yield debt that's secured with land or the cattle themselves. We've done both or combinations. So there we tend to pride ourselves in our creativity and these structures, these investment structures, whether it's high yield debt or equity or even convertible debt, we've done all three of those and seen some nice returns.   Sam Wilson (00:07:47) - Can you walk us through I mean, this is really fascinating. I think for me and probably also for our listeners because I think all of us are familiar with the multifamily syndication at this point. We understand the waterfall return, know the splits, all that. I mean, it's just it's we've been down that road more than once on this show. But things like what you're talking about, we've covered almost not at all.   Sam Wilson (00:08:08) - And I forgot to even mention this here at the beginning of the episode. For those of you who don't don't know, Chris actually came back on the show or came on the show. He took a gamble on this show back on December 4th of 2020. So if you want to go back, I think we're at episode we're north of 820 at this point. It was episode five. So you can find Chris back on December 4th, 2020 and kind of get a preview as to what he was working on then and what Chris is working on now. So just wanted to put that plug in there. If you want to get kind of both sides of the coin of what what he's done in the last almost three years now. But let's get back to this creative structures side of things. I mean, I think I think this is fascinating. Can you give us some case studies on how you guys structured it, how you found the deal and kind of what what was the win win between you and the operator?   Chris Rawley (00:08:55) - Yeah.   Chris Rawley (00:08:55) - So one of the niches that we like is livestock. There's very few places for a investor to get into purely investing in a ranch where you are helping a cattle producer or a sheep and lamb producer, that sort of thing grow their business. And we kind of stumbled upon the the method of collateralize the livestock themselves. Since then, we've combine that with collateralized land and collateralized equipment. But these are high yield notes. We've done, gosh, probably 12, 15 million of them, I think, and never had any default. You know, of course, past performance is no indication of future results. But, you know, knock on wood, we've done pretty well. Our investors have done well with them and they're seeing double digit returns. And, you know, which is nice. It's not as nice as it was when CDs were paying 1%. Now CDs are paying 5% or Treasuries, you know, 4 or 5%. You can get those those safe returns. But if you're looking to build beat inflation, getting something north of 10% is always is always good.   Sam Wilson (00:10:05) - Oh, yeah, absolutely. So how do you how do you find a rancher that is in need of capital without finding a rancher that is a bad rancher?   Chris Rawley (00:10:17) - That's a great, great question. You know, the first part of that is they find us. We had a little success, kind of by luck. Um, our deal flow really started to accelerate as we started doing more successful raises that the ranchers that come to us, in some cases they already have conventional land loans, maybe they have equipment loans on expensive piece of. And for anybody that knows ranch equipment is is very, very you know, six figure high six figures to get a tractor or something like that sometimes. Um and they need to expand their herd. So they've got all the pieces in place. Maybe they have a piece of family land that they inherited from their grandfather. So that's generally the biggest expense in these operations is land. So they have that, but they're just starting out. Maybe they grew up, you know, feeding cattle, raising cattle.   Chris Rawley (00:11:11) - They know all about it. They're ready to start on their own. We have a lot of husband and wife's teams and they come to us and say, hey, starting out, we know what we're doing, but we can't get a loan because we don't have a track record. You know, USDA, the AG finance system, the AG credit union system is pretty much optimized for those row crop farmers, right. Like we talked about. And if you're doing something out of the ordinary, if you're doing like grass fed, regenerative livestock, that sort of thing, it's much harder to get funding. So we'll, you know, we'll look at all the pieces of their operation, look what their cash flows can sustain, and then we'll put together some kind of instrument that will work for them, whether that's debt or equity.   Sam Wilson (00:11:55) - Got it. So you guys will come in and structure this debt or equity or both potentially.   Chris Rawley (00:12:02) - Generally we won't do both. I mean, we have done convertible debt, which is, you know, debt that turns into equity.   Chris Rawley (00:12:07) - But we have worked with other pieces of a capital stack where they've got a bank loan and then we'll bring in equity to kind of make them a down payment or help them be able to get a bigger operation. Because like anything else, there's economies of scale and we're trying to help smaller farmers get bigger and make more money and get higher margins. And of course, that's a good thing from the investor standpoint.   Sam Wilson (00:12:28) - Oh, for sure. For sure. And doing things like grass fed beef again, I think that that you're I don't know what the yield is or even the right way to put that because I'm not a rancher clearly. But it you know the dude do those cattle then of course fetch a higher price per pound when they go to they.   Chris Rawley (00:12:48) - Do generally the other piece of that grass fed is that you know grain fed. So all cattle has the same cycle. Life cycle, you know, starts out on milk, mother's milk, then it eats grass and then either becomes grass, finish where it spends its whole life on grass or grain finish where generally it goes to a feedlot and they'll feed grain.   Chris Rawley (00:13:08) - And we have nothing against feedlots. We've supported those. We will continue to support those. But a lot of consumers are really looking for this grass fed grass finished. It takes a little longer to get a product because the cattle doesn't grow as fast as when you're shoving, you know, soy or corn down its throat. It takes a little while. So it's a premium product. Some people say it tastes better. Some people say it's better for you. I'm I'm agnostic. Don't make those judgments. But it's a good market. So we like it. And those those ranchers, the other piece of that is regenerating the soil. We're working with a lot of ranchers that are doing that by, you know, animal agriculture gets a bad rap for a lot of reasons, and most of them are unfounded and produced by misinformation and bad information. But it's really a healthy product and it's a sustainable product when it's done right. We're not talking about clearcutting Brazilian forest, you know, hardwood floors, which a lot of people think about.   Chris Rawley (00:14:06) - That's not the kind of ranches we work with. We work with American ranchers and the Great Plains and Texas and Georgia that are doing their best to to maintain healthy animals and healthy soil and healthy watersheds.   Sam Wilson (00:14:19) - Right. Right. No, there's a lot to be said for that, man. I I'm a big I'm a big fan of grass fed beef. I've got about a cow and a half in my freezer sitting here on the other side of my office wall. So it's. Yeah, I know. I know where it came from. I know it's actually grown by my family in Alabama, but same idea where it's like, Oh, hey, I know the farm this came off of. I don't know exactly. It's, you know, start to finish grass fed. No, it's great, great beef. Anyway, so I'm a believer in the in the great beef strategy that you're employing there. I think I think it's absolutely awesome. So you guys have found a niche it sounds like inside of.   Sam Wilson (00:14:53) - Being basically banking the kind of unbanked sectors of agriculture, if you will call it. That's true.   Chris Rawley (00:15:01) - I mean, part of it is I don't necessarily like the term unbreakable, but it's sure, we're creative in financing in banks for various reasons or not. And we are. So that's that's always a good thing. And that's why these producers keep coming back to us.   Sam Wilson (00:15:17) - Yeah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't use the word un bankable unbreakable. Sounds like they are, you know, some reprobate that can't can't get a credit card. That's not not what they're saying at all. But there are creative structures that you're setting up.   Chris Rawley (00:15:29) - But you know, it's that's just as the banking system becomes more and more regulated and that's what happens. Anybody who's tried to, like, go out and purchase like more than one rental property or more than five rental properties, you know, the drill is, is there's just it doesn't matter how much money you have, how much equity you have, the banks are kind of hamstrung with their with their metrics and their limits.   Chris Rawley (00:15:53) - And it becomes you're essentially unbreakable, even though you're a great credit. You know, you might be a very experienced investor.   Sam Wilson (00:16:00) - Oh, gosh, yes, absolutely. And and I seem to consistently find myself investing in things that are outside of what the norms are because of the opportunities like you're describing, where it's like, oh, hey, you know, we can hit double digit returns, we can do this and this and this, and it's just, it's, it's, um, you know, it's blue ocean for you as an investor, but yet finding the creative way to get that financing across the finish line can be at times a bit challenging. So you've invested in ranches. You talked a little bit about tree crops. I mean, is that something you guys are still active in or is there.   Chris Rawley (00:16:34) - Yeah, I mean, we get probably about 30 deals a month across our desk and maybe four, 4 or 5% of them actually end up on a platform in front of investors. And that's as part of our due diligence process.   Chris Rawley (00:16:46) - But yeah, we do livestock. We're looking at vineyards right now, we're looking at tree crops right now. We're looking at, um, agriculture, technology companies is something we kind of came in, stumbled upon a couple of years ago. These are companies that provide technology to help farmers grow more sustainably and efficiency efficiently and all that. And it's it's obviously a higher risk. It's more like an angel startup investor. Right? But it makes it kind of put some juice in somebody's portfolio. And the beauty of our platform, I think, is, you know, our minimums are fairly affordable. If you've got enough money to kind of self direct your money into a. You know, whether it's real estate or whatever, outside the just dumping money in your 401. Every month and the stock market index, it's supportable because you can spread your 1015 K across multiple deals, spread your risk, but also spread your exposure into different parts of livestock or agriculture.   Sam Wilson (00:17:45) - Right. You mentioned the term platform a couple of times and then you said spread your risk out.   Sam Wilson (00:17:50) - Describe that for us because it sounds like there's something you guys have built maybe that the average syndicator doesn't have.   Chris Rawley (00:17:57) - Yeah. So it took us a while to get here, but we've got the deal flow and we've got all the technology in the back end that we launch a new offering about every 2 to 3 weeks. Wow. Um, so we're, we're constantly, you know, we're serial issuers. I guess you would, you would classify us where we've got offerings going. And these are farms and ranches raising anywhere between and businesses, you know, $200,000 to several million dollars and and sometimes that's part of a much, much bigger project like we've done where we were just a piece of a capital stack of a $50 million project, but we may have only invested 500, 600,000. And then we've done some where we were a big chunk of of a, you know, new farmer, that new rancher that described kind of getting off their feet. But maybe they maybe they're sitting on $1 million piece of land and they just need a few hundred thousand dollars to go out and buy some fences and chutes and cattle and things like that.   Sam Wilson (00:18:51) - How do you manage all of I mean, a new issue every 2 to 3 weeks is that's a lot of parties. That's a lot of ranchers, you know, don't even know what you call them. Guess you farmers, I guess, is what you call people growing, you know. Yeah. Tree crops and all those sorts of things. I mean, how do you manage all of those various entities and people? That's a lot of communication, I would think it is.   Chris Rawley (00:19:16) - And you know, started out just me and my partner Austin Manus back in 2016. And we would launch, you know, we launched our first deal on 17 and we launched, I think, maybe two deals that year. Um, maybe, you know, it's just grown. We've grown the team, we've, we've improved our processes. We've got a lot of automation in our due diligence process and our asset management process. So it is a lot to juggle. You know, we send out like 1600 K ones. I think this year it's quite a, it's a, it's a lot, but I've got a super accountant, super, you know, resources that we tap into.   Chris Rawley (00:19:50) - We've got some third party providers that do all the sort of background compliance stuff. So we just kind of put all the pieces together and that was the hardest part of starting or getting to where we are is organizing the pieces. We didn't know what we didn't know. And now we have learned lessons the hard way in some cases, and we've got built a system kind of systematize our building our business, and we're able to iterate it over and over again.   Sam Wilson (00:20:15) - Do you feel like you work harder now or did you work harder in the earlier stages of your business?   Chris Rawley (00:20:21) - That's a great question. I'd say the amount of work is about the same. It's what we spend our time on is different. So there was a lot of head scratching early on and trying to figure out what we didn't know. We've learned those lessons. We built a network of contacts and providers that now we spend more of our time, like you said, just dealing out lots of communications. We're constantly on calls. I'm still the chief sales officer.   Chris Rawley (00:20:49) - I get on almost every single sales call when a deal gets to the stage where we think it's viable, you know, I'll get on that call after it's kind of going through the initial processes. And so it's and then once we get the deals up and running, of course there's that the management piece, which is investor communications and tax documents and distributions and all those sorts of things. And we get fortunately we've got all the pieces in place to do that.   Sam Wilson (00:21:17) - That's cool. I'm sorry. Go ahead.   Chris Rawley (00:21:20) - Yeah. And that wasn't easy to get all in place. And it's not necessarily always easy to execute and you're always kind of dealing with the, you know, the one investor that needs a little bit of extra attention. And that's just the reality of of being in the world that we're in.   Sam Wilson (00:21:37) - It really is. Yeah. There's there is, there is that there's always the one investor that needs a little bit more, which is, okay, it's all right. There's also there's also lots of investors that you know that I'm sure you have these too, where it's, you know, they require almost no attention.   Sam Wilson (00:21:53) - And so it probably all washes there in the end. When you review the last, say, 5 or 6 years, if you could do one thing to have either made the process easier or maybe made a mistake that you could have otherwise avoided, anything come to mind on those fronts?   Chris Rawley (00:22:11) - Yeah, that's really hard because I we people take pain to learn, right? Austin always says this is like the best way to learn is through pain. And so think a lot of the things. That we have in place now. And, you know, a couple of deals that have gone bad and things like that we wouldn't have learned unless we experienced them. So although I have no regrets. Yeah, sure, there's deals we wouldn't have done or, you know, we would have changed something or automated processes sooner or later. But we didn't know what we didn't know. And, you know, we built very deliberately our processes and our team and our systems and grown very deliberately. We tried not intentionally not to grow too fast by raising a lot of money as a company or some of our competitors did that and, you know, haven't ever had to lay anybody off having ever, um, you know, been involved in lawsuits and, you know, any kind of issues, negative issues like that.   Chris Rawley (00:23:08) - So we're, you know, we're happy and we're going to continue to move very deliberately and fund as many farms and ranches as we can.   Sam Wilson (00:23:14) - Right? I love it. I love that word. Deliberate. That is, um, that's something we think about a lot here on our side of things where it's like, hey, you know, we have unlimited opportunity, but do we want or are we prepared to take that on right now? Like I think I think you should be as much afraid of too much growth, too fast as you should be a failure, because I think they can both lead to the same place, which is.   Chris Rawley (00:23:42) - That's very, very true. You can you can fail. You can grow hard and fast and you can fail hard and fast. And it's it's you don't want to be there.   Sam Wilson (00:23:50) - You don't want to be there. Yep. Deliberate. That's a great word here for today. Chris, thank you again for coming back on the show. It's been a pleasure to hear just where you guys have gone and almost, again, almost three years since the last time you and I got to chat.   Sam Wilson (00:24:04) - If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you guys, what is the best way to do that?   Chris Rawley (00:24:10) - Yeah, the best way is just harvest returns. Of course, we got social media and all the different platforms, but harvest returns, dot com.   Sam Wilson (00:24:17) - Harvest returns.com will make sure we include that there in the show notes. Chris thank you again for coming on. I certainly appreciate it.   Chris Rawley (00:24:23) - My pleasure Sam. Thanks.

Risks are the fuel for business growth. But smart entrepreneurs understand the importance of calculated risk-taking. Successful ventures hinge on meticulous planning and careful consideration of various factors. Here, we highlight three essential elements that demand your attention before embarking on a risk-taking journey. 1. Resource Allocation: Every risk requires allocation of resources. This is the key to deal with and risk. Right allocation of resources is required to make the risk an opportunity. As an entrepreneur, one need to ascertain that the number of resources, he or she can allocate. Based on this allocation, one can determine the quantum of risk which can be taken. Higher the resource allocation higher the risk which could be taken and vice versa   2. Budget Allocation: Budget is a key factor for the risk assessment. Budget allocations need to be properly planned. The planning should be done in such a way that day to day activities of the company do not get affected. This step must be done with proper care. Improper way of doing this can be financially troublesome for the company and the founder.   3. Time Allocation: Risk planning and handling need right allocation of time. Time Allocation need to be in such a way that regular operation of company do not get affected. This is a most vital resource of an enterprise. Time, as a resource, is often neglected. One must properly allocate this. Risk – in business – need to be properly planned. Above mentioned three points must be kept in mind before taking any risk. In the realm of business, calculated risks pave the way for growth. Keep these three fundamental factors in mind when venturing into the unknown territory of risk, ensuring a well-prepared and successful journey.

Show Notes: Will Bachman and Ashlee Horn spoke about her practice, which focuses on coaching new sales leaders. Ashlee outlines the problem she is trying to solve that 50% of new sales leaders fail within the first year. She speaks about the lifecycle of a sales manager and why sales leaders are so important to an organization. She explains that she focuses on those who are new to frontline sales management or director roles. She works with star performers who have made the leap into leadership, and star managers who  are now trying to manage teams of teams. Ashlee provides coaching for these roles to help them drive sustained behavior change. Training Sales Leaders Ashlee outlines her approach to promoting new sales leaders. She has identified six key areas of focus: building relationships, holding people accountable, multiplying themselves, creating a culture of execution, developing their team, and driving strategic planning. She stresses the importance of building relationships based on trust and value, as well as the need to be able to articulate what makes them successful. Additionally, she emphasizes the need for leaders to be able to hold people accountable and have candid conversations. Lastly, she highlights the importance of creating a culture of execution, developing their team, and driving strategic planning. All of these areas are essential for successful leadership. Ashlee  recommends that salespeople prioritize the highest revenue generating activities, focus on effective communication, simplify complex topics, and use data-driven decision making. She has experience working with technology sales and service sales, specifically SAS sales.  Time Management for Sales Managers For frontline salespeople, she recommends they focus on facetime with clients, build pipeline, and take care of customer service activities. For frontline sales managers, she suggests they prioritize their time and get six to ten people motivated to make changes to their daily habits that will lead to success. A good time allocation for a frontline sales manager with eight reps at a tech company may include focusing on individual team member goals, mentoring and coaching, analyzing data to make decisions, creating and executing sales plans, and managing customer relationships. Ashlee talks about the importance of reverse engineering a sales manager's priorities. According to Ashlee, the majority of the manager's time should be spent on coaching activities that improve customer retention, as this will be the highest revenue generating activity. This includes one-on-one meetings with the team members, team meetings, and individualized programs. Additionally, Ashlee suggested that the manager should spend 70% of their time with the team, observing calls, preparing for calls, and reviewing deals. The remaining 20% should be spent on broader team activities such as setting the vision, having internal meetings, and working with their VP or director to understand their marching orders as a sales leader, and 10% should be spent on understanding clients. Motivation Coaching for Sales Leaders  She talks about assessing the motivators of their team members in order to come up with the best solutions for them, including looking at examples of mindsets other than the mindset of the sales rep who was promoted. She suggests looking at the broad category of growth and fixed mindset. This involves understanding how people respond to challenges, failure, and success, as well as their attitude towards change and effort. This can help sales managers come up with a roadmap for understanding different categories of motivation and how to best approach each person. Ashlee identifies different mindsets that salespeople may have and how to address them to develop an effective coaching strategy.  The first mindset is the difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset, where the growth mindset individual believes they are in control of their own success and the fixed mindset individual believes external factors determine their success. The second mindset is the individual who is not money motivated and does not want to be competitive. To address this mindset, Ashlee recommends focusing on uncovering what motivates the individual. Ultimately, it is important to understand the mindset of the individual in order to help them be successful in sales, and how to overcome the reluctance to sell to people who don't want to take the call or listen to the pitch. Accountability in Sales Management Ashlee talks about  the concept of accountability in sales management. Ashlee points out that in order to hold team members accountable, managers should be explicit about expectations upfront and use data to ground conversations in facts and ensure objectivity, and that conversations should take place early and often. Moving on to teaching managers to scale their impact,  Ashlee suggests that it begins with simplifying the complex and getting into habits that allow them to effectively and efficiently manage their teams.  Ashlee explains how sales managers can multiply their impact. Ashlee recommends that they take the tacit knowledge they have and document it into a simple, repeatable process, known as unconscious competence, that can be shared with the team. She also suggests managers prioritize their time and their messaging with the team to align with moving a key performance indicator (KPI). Additionally, Ashlee suggested that instead of spending a lot of time one-on-one, managers should  offer batch coaching sessions with two or three reps who are newer or working on the same skill. She also explains what they should prioritize to be most effective, and  how she helps sales managers with communication techniques.  Data-driven Decision Making On data-driven decision making, Ashlee  explains that it is important for leaders to be able to react to data and anticipate decisions for the business instead of responding emotionally. Ashlee then gives an example of a leader who noticed their team was not making many calls and assumed that improving that would help, when in fact the data showed that their conversion rate on cold calls was already high. She explains which metrics they should focus on and which ones should be avoided. Ashlee advises that the front end of the funnel is the easiest to track and that looking at the data can help leaders to identify more effective solutions.  How Sales Managers Navigate Their Roles Ashlee talks about how new sales managers can navigate their roles. She stresses the importance of focusing on the quality of conversations, rather than just quantity. As a sales manager, it's important to judge conversations based on the organization's expectations, and setting clear objectives for the call, and if the client is clear on why they should take another meeting. For sales directors, the challenge is coaching through a layer and helping managers foster their individual style. Ashlee also offers advice for independent consultants on cold outreach, suggesting that they should research the customer and approach the call with a point of view. People enjoy being told about what they're excited about, and if the consultant is wrong, the customer will be happy to correct them. Ashlee shares how to create a compelling message when trying to build a relationship with a Chief Strategy Officer. She suggests that the message be more detailed and have a point of view, rather than a generic one, as that could be seen as uninteresting and not differentiate the sender from others. Ashlee believes that having a point of view is bolder than a generic approach and that it is better to be wrong and have a point of view than not have one.  Timestamps: 03:51 Structured Program for Onboarding New Sales Leaders  06:58 Sales Leadership Prioritization and Time Allocation  09:06 Reverse Engineering Priorities for Sales Managers  11:54 Effective Sales Management Strategies  13:53 Strategies to Motivate Sales Teams 15:05 Different Mindsets in Sales Teams  21:13 Accountability and Scaling Impact for Sales Managers  26:24 Multiplying Impact and Prioritizing in Sales Management  28:24 Effective Communication in Sales Management  32:14 Engaging Participants and Performance-Based Conversations  Links: Website: HornSalesCoaching.com Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

The real question right now is . . . Who ISN'T hiring?  This means I've sat in tons of interviews for high-level development professionals who'll be leading organizations to substantial revenue growth. And I'm noticing a few trends and very interesting answers to interview questions that I'm sharing with you today. It all boils down to time allocation. In this episode, I'll be discussing why you should align your time with your organization's strategic plans and how it beats everything else. Tune in to The Business Behind Fundraising — Why Time Allocation Beats Your Fundraising Plan Any Day Of The Week with Sherry Quam Taylor.  What You Will Discover:  ✔️ Time allocation beats tactics. Cleaning up databases, writing appeals, and organizing events are fine to mention in interviews. But if you want to scale by millions, your team leaders should deeply understand the business behind fundraising and be capable of doing CEO-to-CEO conversations. ✔️ Time is your organization's most valuable asset. Every hour your team spends fundraising must be focused on higher results. Why? Because you want the large, unrestricted gifts that give the organization ultimate flexibility to invest back in growth and infrastructure. ✔️See what you need to stop doing and start doing. I'm talking about the activities that are taking way too many hours and resources. They may have worked in the past but aren't yielding the large, unrestricted revenue you need. This is what's blocking major donors from giving greater amounts.  ✔️Plan your yearly revenue based on available hours. This is the common denominator among my most successful clients. It can feel like a daunting task, but this will keep you moving forward and raising millions more. Your fundraising plans must be aligned with how much time your organization can afford to spend. Are you ready to scale by millions? Start planning in a high-ROI framework.

A big promise of the Trudeau Liberal campaign in 2015 was a complete rewriting of the Federal Environmental Review process. There was no question the 2012 Canadian Environmental Assessment Act was a failure. When you have panels of review agencies resigning over conflicts of interest, it's time to start over. The courts cancelled Northern Gateway, with just cause due to the flawed review process. As citizens began to impede the road for Energy East, the re-opening possibility of Keystone XL south of the border let TCPL return to their preferred plan while Big Oil sycophants claimed "Trudeau did it". Then Kinder Morgan, the Bricklin of the oilpatch. Nothing says the existing system is broken better than the full stop put on TMX for the same issues that killed NGP. The badly needed replacement legislation, Bill C-69, has 412 pages, removes 2 Acts from the books, establishes 2 new Acts and amends many more. The bill has been advanced with Time Allocation twice, has adopted approximately 130 amendments of 320 proposed, defeated six further amendment votes and gone on to the Senate where things are not as comfy for the Liberals. What guaranteed failure of the old environmental regime was the regulations written to enable it. They delivered flawed processes with an unacceptable level of science, consultation, scrutiny or diligence. It was written for applicants, not Canadians. And what progress has the government made on new regulations? Anyone? Bueller? This Prime Minister said no omnibus legislation on his watch. Bill C-69 is omnibus legislation. He and his Ministry said environmental regulations would be developed in parallel with this bill moving forward. There is zero evidence available to confirm this, yet the bill is now 2/3 the way to becoming law. A shiny sales pitch is not proof of a good product. Many opponents from all parties remain against it. The View Up Here looks at where C-69 is and needs to get to.
