Win or Take Your Business Home

The shock replacement of a baseball team’s manager out of the blue reinforced a lesson that we can take to heart. Just like a team’s wins and losses affect the experience of their fans or customers, so does your daily interaction (or non interaction) with your clients. If your customer’s experience isn’t superior they can fire you as quickly as this poor baseball manager.

Culture and Growth

Often, terms like “culture” and “growth” are thrown around in the business world as buzzwords. But let’s get real here; culture isn’t just a buzzword. It has solid consequences that can result in lost potential.

For example, in this article I show an example of two cultures in one membership subscription organisation trying to put together an event between the two groups.

But when rigidity overshadows flexibility, a valuable chance slips away for one of the groups.

For business leaders, this highlights the importance of trust and delegation. Are our cultural norms holding us back? Delve deeper to understand the true impact of culture on growth.

You become who you hang out with. It’s almost a law from the playground to the boardroom. And in any group you join.. it’s in the actions where you see the real value or lack of they provide.

The Day He Stopped Lying to Himself About His Business

“I didn’t like who I’d become. I wasn’t a good father, a good husband… hell, I wasn’t even good company.”
Scott wasn’t talking about addiction.
He was talking about his business.
It was profitable — but it was slowly killing him.
His wife was afraid to go to bed beside him because of his rage-fueled business nightmares.
And the worst part?
He kept telling himself it would all be worth it “someday.”
Until the day he stopped lying to himself — and changed everything.

30 Days in 2001.
In August, I stood on top of the World Trade Center, unwinding with teammates after a long day.
In September, I stood at Ground Zero — alone, just hours before it was roped off for visitors and tourists to come and pay respects.
That month left a mark.
Not just because of what I saw… and smelled…but because of what it taught me about value, purpose, and what we choose to build — or protect.
And it all came rushing back when I watched a documentary about a little church that stood its ground next to giants.
