I Need to Build a Wall….Around my Inbox

Say No to the “Pricing Pimps”.

All they try to do is spam you on Cheap prices but quality wins in the long run. As business owners, our goal isn’t to attract customers only concerned about cost – it’s to serve those who value the transformation we provide.

That’s why I’m excited to share more soon about my upcoming Pricing Mastery and Business Acceleration Advisory session planned for December 5th. In just 90 minutes, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to price your services for maximum impact.

Let’s leave the Pricing Pimps behind and build businesses that change lives! Who’s with me?

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.

A Panel … Of Boredom

Attended an exhibition full of visionaries, but the roundtable discussion reminded me: don’t play it safe to the point of boredom. In business marketing, avoid clichés and truly engage your audience by being genuine and innovative – and yes controversial when appropriate. That’s why it’s all about the real conversations and finding real solutions at our Owner’s table..

The Networking Robot

Most people do not know how to sell and then there is the Networking Robot. He is in a class by himself. If I hadn’t experienced him in real life I would think he was a cartoon or a boogey man to scare business owners with. Alas, he is real.. and he’s looking to find you at a networking event.

Who you Run with and Business Success

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. And time is too valuable to waste in a group that at best keeps you stuck but at worse sinks you into the swamp.

the Howling at the Business

Watching my eldest daughter taunt my youngest until she bellowed a frightening howl that silenced a restaurant highlighted what we face in a noisy market. Lot’s of big promises and the waving of amazing rewards in front of our faces to make us want badlty what they are selling. Unfortunately, like spoiled brats everywhere, they do not have the ability to deliver on the big promise to us.

Your Pricing Says Alot About….

Your pricing communicates a great deal about how you feel about what you provide and now special it is.

If you price too cheap… your quality is called into question..

Price too high.. your grasp of reality.

But ultimately your pricing should Attract who you want to attract.

And..Repel who you do not want.

The Charge of the Business Brigade

When you think of World War I, you think of armchair generals eating shrimp and sipping champagne while sending millions to their death with outdated tactics and strategies that produced only corpses. This is what most entrepreneurs face when the “experts” they hire prioritise making the sale and buying flashy cars over providing solutions that will actually bring the real results they are seeking.

Imagine the disappointment of having a $13.75 million deal fall through just moments before signing the agreement. Instead of a dream holiday, Mark suffered a suffocating silence from an oft disappointed spouse, and retirement plans were pushed back “another 3 years”.

When Customers Squeeze You

PIA (Pain in the A**) Pythons – these creatures latch onto a business owner as a normal customer and then they squeeze the owners dry by immobilizing them with complaints, questions, issues so they monopolise all their time and energy until the owner pretty much loses the will to live or gives in on price and other demands. Customers are not always right and you should never have to be stuck with a Python.

Shame Stopping Your Sale?

Shame can keep us from doing what is best for us and often lead us to disastrous paths as a character in a movie I saw recently experienced. When you speak to your customers are you identifying where they might be too embarrassed to ask for help and so making it comfortable for them to do so with you… and finally have the solutions they so desired.

Freedom and Business Ownership

Is your business less independent than my 3 and 5-year-olds?

Next week, I’m flying to Greece for my father’s funeral. It’ll be the first time in five years that I won’t be sleeping under the same roof as my daughters.

They’re 5 and 3 now—not old enough to take the keys, but they’ll manage just fine. My wife has it all under control.

It made me think, though… How many business owners can say the same about their companies?

If you step away for a week, does everything fall apart?

Sure, your business might pay the bills, but that’s not freedom. That’s a trap.

There’s a playbook for building a business that works without you—one that frees your time, reduces stress, and builds real value.

What if the way you’re running your business is setting you up for failure?
Most business owners focus on one thing—more income. More sales, more cash flow, more profit. Sounds smart, right?

This morning, I came home to my dog losing her mind with excitement—running back and forth, grabbing her toy, acting like a puppy again.
Cute, right?
But here’s the thing: I stepped out again a couple of hours later…for one minute. And she did the exact same over-the-top welcome.
It got me thinking about business—and why being “more of the same” is the kiss of death.
