ENJOY FREEDOM
Your business should ultimately grant you the flexibility to work when you want, how you want, and with whom you want. If you forget to design this into your business, it will do the opposite and take all of your time, energy and health away from you.
If it all seems too expensive, that is an indicator that you are on the wrong path. We'll guide you to the correct way.
Executive Team
Your executive team, the people responsible for achieving the vision, are the most critical players in the business.
Your executive team sets the culture, the pace, the expectations and allocates the resources for every part of the company to flourish. If the people on your executive team have conflicting values, visions or causes, it will be poison to your success.
Delegation
Competent people are a prerequisite in order to delegate responsibility. You should be able to know with confidence that the person you are giving a task to will be able to do the job better than you could.
Great leaders make each person on their team feel like the hero. Poor leaders try to be the hero. A critical success secret is to surround yourself with people smarter than you are in any given area.
Freedom
What would you do if you had plenty of money and time? Retire early? Travel the world? Create a charity? It is a question that few business leaders remember to ask because the company has been robbing them of freedom for too long.
Go ahead - ask yourself the question and give an answer. The company you lead can provide it - if you build it into your model. What's that you say? "It's just not possible"?
Things are only impossible until they're not. Others have done it. So can you.
