When and why to hire. Just about halfway through this episode.And the why question has been proposed. Giving me some pretty serious thought as to how I run my business even today, before I hire employees. The systems that I'm building as to why I’mbuilding them and how they will play into my business five years down the road. Specifically, the difference between working for myself and owning a business and to what my end goal is. My question for you all is: when you started your business did you want to work for yourself or did you want to run a business? Did that why follow you, or change and adapt as the rubber hit the road?

When I started my business, I wanted to turn it into a reproducible system. Where down the road I wouldn’t always have to be present. I think as time goes on, I found that I wanted more free time for family and things that I enjoyed outside of my business. That is where employees will come in. When you’re ready, you will find the right ones train them to do the job the way you want to be done and then if you have to step away from your business because life happens a tragedy or a trauma it’ll continue on.

Don't plan to fail, but I did

Finished the first lesson of business success today. In all honesty, the biggest takeaway is that I am the luckiest man in business. I took none of the right steps, started for the wrong reasons in a 'unknown' location and just sent it. And I made it. Somehow. The market was right and primed for me, there was no competition worthy of competing with, and somehow the cost of doing business was low enough for me to be profitable my first year and every year yet. How did you plan to fail? How did you plan to succeed? How were you just plain lucky?

Very interesting question......I am not sure anyone plans to fail intentionally. We just didn't know what we didn't know. Plan to succeed and plan to growth are slightly different, but I surrounded myself with people who were already where I wanted to me. As for being Lucky... "luck comes when preparation meets opportunity"......your mind has been prepped for years!

Gratitude

Just finished, in it's entirety, the mindset success courses. The biggest takeaway, for me, is the mindset of gratitude. I've been implementing goals, quiet time, filling my Coke can, thinking big, and integrity to myself. But the part, that has been at the top of my mind, and acting upon, is the attitude of gratitude. Every time I'm feeling like crap, whenever I walk in to do a sale, when I need to boost my mood before seeing people, I take 30-60 seconds and just list things I'm greatful for. Like Tom said, can't be angry if you're greatful(paraphrasing). How often do you find yourself in a bad mood? How do you turn that frown upside down? I challenge you, next time you're not mentally in it, to take that 60 seconds and just SHOUT(if you're alone) out what you are greatful for.

You have hit this right on the nail! We all have "bad moods" and bad attitude days. I think the difference is that we learn to catch that feeling quicker and not let it turn into days.....you are learning to flip the switch when it matters most. Love seeing you on here!
