I just finished watching the TV series The Last Ship (on Netflix). If you haven’t seen it, it’s about a Navy destroyer at sea when a global pandemic wipes out much of the world’s population. The crew suddenly finds themselves responsible for far more than just sailing a ship. They’re making life-and-death decisions, protecting the…
I heard Alex Hormozi say something recently that really resonated with me. He was talking about AI and how, a few years ago, everyone was selling prompts.

Systems… Systems in your business are critically important. For efficiency. For consistency. For productivity. For growth. And so much more. Last Friday night I was watching the new Women’s 3X3 (read three X three, not 3 on 3) league, called Unrivaled, and the coaches in the huddles and the commentators kept talking about the importance…
Many businesses lack adequate systems to get things done efficiently and effectively in their businesses. Everything from how the phone is answered to processing refunds to running successful promotions and events can be systematized.

We talk about leverage all the time. Do you have leverage in your business? Like this… Can you go from working all the time, doing everything in your business… And still having things fall through the cracks… … to a more systematic approach where you can automate and delegate while optimizing so you can work…
In life and in business, things happen that we don’t expect. I’m all for planning. Teach it. Do it. And think all business owners need to do more of it. If you plan correctly there are very few things that will catch you off-guard. I always plan for as many contingencies as possible and then…
Happy New Year! By now, you’ve had almost a full week of back at it and I hope the new year has you feeling fresh and renewed and ready for an amazing year of fresh, new things that take you where you want to go…and beyond. The foundation of your business, like the foundation of…
Thanks for all the birthday wishes over the weekend! I had a great time and it was the perfect weekend after returning from a 3-day conference during the week before. Many of you got in on the birthday special, so I’ll be seeing you in Atlanta in October…if you missed out on the birthday savings,…
