Michael Hyatt is the CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers and talks about why he works with coaches. Right in the beginning he points out that it’s not always about hiring someone. Coaches can be found in seminars and books, too. I think Michael’s a pretty smart guy and he shares valuable advice learned from years of experience.
I travel a lot of places and everywhere I go, I find people remarking about how I get so many things done. I host a few shows each week, blog nearly every day, and still manage to crank more out. I sum up how I manage to do that in this short video.
My friend, Jeff Jones, is the drummer with Big Daddy Weave. We take you on their tour bus to show you how Jeff manages multiple businesses from the road.
Google has upped their game again, now allowing people working out of their homes, to be listed in google maps without an address. They’ve renamed their business feature to google places and now allow you to list a service area.
With this change there’s no reason not to be listed with google. Get out there and be found!
As is the case on most Sunday’s, my family and I order pizza. It’s been a tradition in Christine’s family for as long as she can remember. We stepped outside the box (you’ll get that pun later) this Sunday and ordered take-out from CiCi’s Pizza, which is not our usual place.
Our kids are young and don’t eat a lot, so one large pizza with an order of bread sticks is more than enough to fill us up. Christine left to pick up the pizza and came home with these two large boxes, each the same size.
The restaurant apparently told her they were out of the medium size breadsticks so she bought the large box.
I’m no genius, and it’s really not a big deal, but isn’t the difference between the medium and large a matter of a few more breadsticks in the large? In other words, even if you’re out of mediums, can’t you take a few out of the large box and call it a medium?
I really don’t get the reasoning behind this and to me (a customer) it makes it look like the restaurant just doesn’t care. If I’m missing the big picture (I’m no pizza expert after all), please tell me.
I hope you’re not doing this to your customers. It’s OK if you can reason your way in to or out of something, but don’t leave your customers wondering. They’ll come to their own conclusions and those conclusions probably won’t favor you.
Put yourself in the pizza guy’s shoes. Could you have come up with a medium order?
Christine has a filter, but it doesn’t keep her from being a real person. She joins me this week on Coach Radio to share an inside perspective on what it takes to be and entrepreneur’s wife. We’ll also talk about this possible move to Wisconsin or another country.
Henry Ford was famous for sitting for ideas. He insisted that those who were always running around being busy were not the most productive. He wanted people who would sit back and think about new and creative things.

$90,000 in debt looming over my head used to keep me up at night. Then I created a plan to crush it all. Pay it back and owe nothing but a house payment.

I get really excited when a business I’m working with gets to launch. There’s excitement and a bit of fear that surrounds an event like this.
Will people show up for a grand opening (retail)?
Will they buy what I’m selling?
Will they like it and want more?
Will they tell their friends?
All these questions hang [...]
