Welcome to today's video, where we'll dive deep into one of the biggest obstacles that sabotage business owners—distractions! In this video, we're focusing on a mindset shift that can change the way you approach growth, revenue, and time management in your business. Today's topic is “Focus on the River, Not the Stream.” This concept can help you streamline your efforts, reduce time-draining activities, and ultimately increase your profits. Close Every Deal: Why It's a Trap As business owners, we have an instinct to try to close every deal, capture every sale, and serve every single customer. It seems like the more we do, the more we earn, right? Well, not always! While it might feel like you're being productive, focusing on every deal or opportunity can actually kill your time and diminish your profits. Not all opportunities are created equal. If you spend too much time chasing smaller, less profitable deals, or servicing customers that demand excessive attention, you're taking your eye off what truly matters—your rivers of revenue. This is where today's lesson comes in: Focus on the river, not the stream. The Rivers: Your Key Revenue Drivers So, what exactly are the "rivers" in your business? Rivers are your primary sources of income—the services or products that consistently bring in the most revenue, the most profit, and require the least amount of time to fulfill. Focusing on these revenue drivers is the key to scaling your business efficiently. Let's break it down: What Brings in the Most Revenue? – Look at the services or products that are consistently generating the highest volume of income for your business. These are your core offerings and should be prioritized. What Brings in the Most Profit? – Revenue alone isn't enough. You need to focus on the services that deliver the best profit margins. This is where your business's health truly lies. What Takes the Least Amount of Time but Delivers Great Profits? – Time is money! Identify the offerings that require minimal effort but still generate a good profit. These should be top priorities for scalability. What Has the Largest Potential Customer Base? – Focusing on products or services with broad appeal can exponentially grow your business, as these “rivers” can feed a steady stream of income for a long time. The Streams: Time-Draining Distractions On the other hand, “streams” are the distractions—the offerings or deals that take up your valuable time but don't deliver a high return. Here are some examples: Additional Services: These might add value but often take more time and resources to fulfill. If they don't significantly contribute to your profit, they might be worth cutting. High-Ticket Clients: While these customers bring in more money per transaction, they are often more demanding and require more attention. They can drain your time and energy, so consider whether they are worth the effort. Partnerships: While partnerships can bring in large deals, they often take a significant upfront investment of time with minimal immediate payoff. Be mindful of how much time you're spending on these opportunities. Large or Group Deals: Though they can look appealing, these deals often require heavy discounts or extended negotiation periods, which reduce overall profitability. Homework: Identify and Cut the Streams Your action item this week is simple yet powerful: Identify the streams in your business that are draining your time and profits. Which services, clients, or deals are you focusing on that aren't delivering the returns you need? Once you've identified them, make the hard decision to cut them out. Redirect your focus toward the rivers—the areas that are bringing in the majority of your revenue and profit. This mindset shift will free up your time, allowing you to focus on the opportunities that truly drive your business forward. Remember, growth comes not from doing more but from doing the right things. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this video!

They discuss the importance of somatic approaches in leadership and personal growth.Childhood Incidents:As a child, Pavini's mother decided that Pavini should have a cultural education of experiencing the arts. As a single mother, cultural education was a luxury she had to prioritize and save for. Contrastingly, Pavini's dad had season tickets and a box at the opera. One night, when mother and child were at the opera, they noticed the dad sitting in his box in the theatre which was Pavini's first awareness of wealth disparity.In January 1986, Pavini's friends invited them to a punk party. While there, Pavini felt the difference between the world they lived in and the current world they were experiencing then. This experience set Pavini on a journey to find spaces of belonging.Cultural Influences:Pavini's purpose comes from living a life informed by pleasure, embodiment, and communication, tempered with transparency and kindness. Leadership Influence:In 2008, Pavini attended an activist camp and experienced the power of transparency and power sharing along with strong organization. This shaped their foundational beliefs about leadership, elderhood and the importance of structure. To date, Pavini cannot stand being in a poorly organized meeting and strives to incorporate elderhood into leadership since it increases the capacity of an entire community.Temperaments and Personality:Pavini believes they came into this world as a dancer, with a sense of awe, magic and connection to nature and spirit. Curiosity is also part of Pavini's temperament. As a child, and later as an adult Pavini developed both a playful and pragmatic side to their personality. Cultural Epiphanies:Pavini lived in Bulgaria in the 90s and experienced the Bulgarians' sense of powerlessness and hopelessness as shocking. Pavini recalls a time they went to the mayor asking for transportation for books that had traveled 10,000 miles around the world, and now required transportation for the last 200 miles to get them to the destination. The mayor said it was impossible, but Pavini was able to show him how doable it was when he opened his mind to possibility. When Pavini was working with a worker collective, a sense of anger at late meetings arose frequently. One of the people they worked with told Pavini that the time intolerance and anger was white supremacy and not all people understand time the same way.What Brings out the Best in Pavini?Pavini enjoys working in environments where they can laugh and be playful. Soapbox Moment:Pavini encourages us to be attuned. They recognize how vulnerable it can be when we open ourselves to attune with someone else's needs, feelings, desires, fears, and grief. Support the Show.

You must have a strong root system for any plant or tree to grow.”Episode Highlights: In this insightful conversation, Mark shares about purposeful growth and the importance of feeling loved in the workplace, breaking down the concept of love into an inspiring acronym.

Mark put his best foot forward and as a result, became head guard responsible for managing the pool. That experience hones his love for leadership, service, and hospitality.Influential Groups/Cultural Influence: Mark sees culture as a set of norms and expectations that people establish amongst themselves as a natural course of interaction. He recalls growing up in the swim team. He was always with his teammates during practice; they carpooled to practice and had bus rides together.

According to Mark, his upbringing was a fertile ground for his talent.Influential Groups:For Mark, whenever he worked with anybody, he always did his homework to have a better understanding of them. Mark had an opportunity to work with Ray Charles, a famous soul musician, who was visually impaired. Because he was black, and prejudice was rampant, Ray Charles was obligated to perform behind the curtains. Mark wanted to get Ray Charles seen and to see his performance himself.One day, Mark had Ray Charles sit at a piano with reflective glasses on, and his band was distant from him, and there was his orchestra.

Gary's Bio:As the CEO of PeerForward, Gary Z. Linnen has directed the nonprofit's programs for over a decade, cultivating deep experience in youth development, program innovation, and organizational leadership. Growing up as a black Puerto Rican in Spanish Harlem, he experienced firsthand the obstacles other people's assumptions place in your path. He developed resilience and social solidarity from his family, who taught him to stand and deliver.Links:Website: https://www.peerforward.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peerforward/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peerforward.org/Quotes:"In a leadership position, individuals are looking up to you. If you're not being true to yourself, they'll see that.""If you've never had to make pasta, you don't know the recipe for pasta. We can't make assumptions around it."Episode Highlights:Despite growing up in poverty, Gary's successes caused him to be chosen by the Oliver Scholars Program, which allowed him to attend the prestigious Weston School. Upon his return home, Gary realized that others who were as smart (or smarter) had yet to be given a chance to overcome the obstacles marginalized youth regularly face in academia, and he wanted to change that.Childhood Incidents:Gary grew up in a community where family meant everything to him. Material belongings only mattered to him after he was denied in school because his best outfit was a pair of jeans and a grey sweater, and not a suit. When Gary moved from his community, he realized he was primarily judged by how he looked, spoke, and behaved instead of his accomplishments or intellect. Leadership and Culture Style: According to the principle of Quakerism, regardless of who you are, there's a higher being around to help drive individuals. Although Gary is not religious, this principle guides him on many things. As a leader, Gary has made it his mission to ensure that everyone receives a fair chance. He also believes that vulnerability to oneself is essential because it helps us find where we are and how we can get past that. Temperament and Personality:Gary always believed he had everything under control based on his ability to juggle multiple tasks at once. About six years ago, he realized that he was juggling too much and needed to slow down because that pace wasn't sustainable. Influential groups:The LGBTQ+ community has played a considerable role in Gary's life. Since the age of 16, that community space provided him with a sense of resiliency, connection, sisterhood and brotherhood. Cultural Epiphanies:Being a Puerto Rican, Gary experiences people with a deficit mindset in his day-to-day life. In many cases, some wonder if he can produce the desired results, resulting in him being repeatedly questioned on his capabilities, even though he has consistent proof of his expertise.What Brings out the best in Gary:Gary has an open-door policy and loves it when people are upfront with him. Being a natural nurturer, Gary wishes the best for everyone. The ability to just be himself also helps him face challenges with ease.Soap Box Moment:Gary invites us to check out https://www.peerforward.org/ to understand how his organization helps youth be there for each other, and find out how to support educational achievement for youth in poverty.

What Brings a Complete Cleansing?

Welcome to Made for Mondays A Reason to Live Death was more than a thought, it was a wish. I attempted suicide in 2014 for the second time. The first was for attention in 2012. The second was to die. In 2014, I was a second-year master's student at a very rough time in my life. Life was a mess. One Night I decided to end my misery by slitting my wrists. I was desperate. I just wanted someone to see me, hear me, care for me, and love me. I hated everything about me. I felt I had no reason to live. I did it. And then I woke up!
