Focusing on Serving instead of Doing

Hey fellow entrepreneurs! Ever feel like you’re always in go-go-go mode? After 35 years of non-stop hustle, I’m here to share some insights that might just change your perspective. At 55, I’m reflecting on what I missed and what I don’t want to miss moving forward. The key? Shift your focus from just doing to truly serving. Inspired by the book “The Goal” by Eliyahu Goldratt, I realized we often become the bottleneck in our own businesses. By focusing on our health, surrounding ourselves with people who align with our core values, and leveraging digital tools, we can create more meaningful, balanced lives.

What is TIME costing you?

I learned this invaluable skill when I was hired as the President and CEO of a new start up company.  We raised a couple million dollars and were off to the races. To say I was busy would be an under statement.  I remember having lunch one day with one of our our billionaire investors and he asked me how I spent my time. I shared my Franklin Covey planner.  I was perplexed when he laughed. I was thinking he’d be so impressed how organized I was  (or how organized I thought I was listing everything I had to do).  What I learned from him that day changed  everything.    I discovered he did NOT have a to-do list. He said if it was not important enough to make it into his calendar  it did not exist .    So, to this day  (19 years later)  I live by this mantra.   I schedule everything. And I mean  everything.  I’ll schedule 5 minute meetings if necessary.  Because if it’s not scheduled, it doesn't exist.  Just adopting this ONE habit has allowed me to:  Focus on what really matters and ...

Do You Create Results with 100% Certainty?

In the last edition of The Infinite Business Newsletter, I talked about the vital importance of innovation  (aka continual improvement ).  The commitment to always be striving for  new, better and different  allows your company to  stay relevant and service your clients   even  better.  I’m always shocked to discover most businesses fail to use  one of the most powerful tools  in their tool box when it comes to finding out EXACTLY how to service their clients better  (Maybe it’s obvious, therefore it’s often missed)... And if you aren’t doing this to some degree in your business, it’s never too late to start…    One of the quickest ways to innovate and take steps to improve your business is by  asking the most important person or people in your business . Who are the most important people in  any  business? Your clients.  Your clients are the BEST people to go to when you seek improvement suggestions, ideas for new products or services, or to discover future wants, needs, and desires. ...

The 2nd MOST important asset (next to your list)…

As Entrepreneurs,  our list  is one of our most important assets.  The second most important asset is one that I find missing in 9 out of 10 Entrepreneurial businesses.   Yet, it’s a vital piece to not only sustaining a business, but in growing and scaling it too...  Standard Operating Procedures   (a.k.a.  SOP ) I’m sure you’ve heard this term before. A SOP is a detailed documentation of instructions  (written or visual)  that describe each step of a process or task.  The purpose of SOPs are to increase efficiency and deliver consistent outcomes each and every time.  In many cases SOPs are used to ensure compliance with operational practices.   Why are these so important?  Processes that aren’t documented leave room for errors and mistakes.  Clear enough, right?  Now consider these reasons that may not be so obvious… When people on your team have a SOP to follow, they are  more productive , as they have  exactly  what they need to complete the task at hand.  Without clear instructions...

Obstacles rooting your future?

Oftentimes, failure to attain our goals and realize our full potential is a direct result of our  limiting belief system .   We all have them. Our beliefs are deep seeded  (basically anchored)  in our subconscious mind.  For example, have you ever caught yourself making a statement like, “I’m not good at time management” or “I’m terrible with numbers so I won’t understand financials”?  These are examples of limiting beliefs that people  construct in their mind that they then think to be true.  They then become beliefs that falsely define you, and keep you from making good choices. They limit you from taking advantage of opportunities. They keep you “stuck” and unable to move forward.  They remain in your subconscious as “truths”, therefore your conscious mind believes them to be true and acts accordingly.  Ultimately, limiting beliefs keep us trapped in a negative state of mind and therefore become the root obstacles that deter us from living the life we truly desire.
