What To Do When Someone Drops Out Of The Interview Process/Hiring Process

April 06, 2021 07:00 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

Ugh! It happened. You’re weeks into the hiring process and you have your top candidates all lined up...now you just have to choose. No problem! But then one of your top candidates drops out. It’s inevitable. For any big position I’ve ever hired for I usually have at least one person drop out. Let’s talk about the best way to handle that and see if we can’t get them to jump back in. (and maybe even hire them!)  (Side Note: I have a video on how to sell during the hiring process. Check t...

March 16, 2021 07:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

How To Create A "People Plan" And Grow Your Network

March 09, 2021 08:00 - 8 minutes - 8.19 MB

Last year (2019) the average American ate by themselves around 378 times! Do you eat by yourself often? Keith Ferrazzi has a lot to say about that in his book “Never Eat Alone” This episode is an implementation guide for that book! Never Eat Alone Basic Concept = always be breaking bread and using meal time to connect with others. Beyond that though, it’s about really being intentional with the relationships that we build. Essentially, setting a “People Plan” In today’s episode I...

How To Sell Candidates On Working For Your Company During The Interview Process

March 02, 2021 08:00 - 16 minutes - 15.8 MB

Hiring = sales Don’t agree? Then you’re probably losing out on your best candidates. One of the best books I’ve ever read on hiring (“WHO”) talks about the 4 S’s of hiring (I talk about this process in my episode on hiring): Scorecard Sourcing great candidates Selecting the best one Selling them on working for you They list “selling” as the 4th step in the process, but the truth is it’s happening throughout the entire process.

How to Hire an Assistant (and set them up to save you 5-10 hours a week)

February 23, 2021 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

Hiring an assistant is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I wish I would’ve done it years earlier. In my opinion, it’s the first hire every entrepreneur should make. If you’re asking yourself, “Do I need an assistant?” - the answer is YES! As a friend of mine says: “If you don’t have an assistant, you are the assistant.” So….how do you hire an assistant? In this episode, I cover 3 things: Do I need an assistant? -- I already told you, yes! What does a good assistant do? ...

How to Onboard Employees - Orientation Checklist

February 16, 2021 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MB

Employee onboarding. At most companies it’s more like waterboarding. Somewhere between “here’s a company” and “follow him around for a while to see how to do your job”. So many companies are doing this wrong. Are you one of them? You’ve spent soooo much time finding someone great. Why not spend a little bit more time making sure they get up to speed quickly? Here’s how to do onboarding the right way; with intentionality AND a checklist. Now, onboarding can be an intimidating proces...

How To Facilitate Great Meetings As A Leader

February 02, 2021 08:00 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

As my friend Cameron Herold would say...Meetings suck!! Most meetings suck because people don’t know how to run them well. There are a lot of fundamentals to a great meeting: A meeting purpose / KPI A good agenda Meeting roles: A facilitator, timekeeper and “action grabber” Prep ahead of time, etc I cover all of these things in a separate video about how to run great meetings (and how we run our meetings at SPS). I even talk about how we run our meetings in Asana (this is a total ga...

Why You Should Always Be Recruiting In Your Company (And How To Build A "Talent Bench")

January 28, 2021 08:00 - 8 minutes - 8.13 MB

Have you ever heard of a “talent bench”? Probably not. But it’s one of the most important things you should be focusing on in your business (or on your team), especially as you scale. Not focusing on this will stunt your growth and leave you vulnerable to “key man risk” if an employee decides to quit. Focusing on building this will explode your growth by always having talented people ready to get in the game. This helps the performance of your existing team AND helps you quickly hire A...

How To Develop Emerging Leaders (And What It Means To Be A Leader At SPS)

January 26, 2021 08:00 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MB

Not everyone is cut out to be a leader or manager. A lot of people shouldn’t be and others skill sets can be used elsewhere. But...let’s say you have an “emerging leader” on your team...someone with natural influence, leadership abilities and who’s hungry to grow? How do you develop them into their first leadership position? That’s what I walk through in this episode, including: How to spot an emerging leader (the traits to look for) How to determine if they want to be a leader and t...

How To Train & Develop Your Team By Creating An Individual Development Plan (IDP)

January 21, 2021 08:00 - 14 minutes - 13.9 MB

I’m obsessed with training and development. I’m even more obsessed with figuring out how to train and develop my team at SPS. We have a monthly training budget, monthly book clubs, personal enrichment sessions, we track and encourage training time, we’re constantly investing in the growth of our team, and every employee gets access to $30k+ in training materials when they get hired. The basic process is good...but this becomes difficult to monitor and support individual growth as the com...

How To Run Effective 1 on 1's

January 19, 2021 08:00 - 16 minutes - 15.8 MB

I used to be HORRIBLE at running 1-1’s… I thought they were good - but I always had this sneaking suspicion that they weren’t as powerful as they could be. Then I learned a new way of running them. And it changed everything. Now my 1-1’s are MUCH more effective & focused. I believe 1-1’s are one of the biggest tools you have as a leader to build rapport, drive performance, and help coach / develop your team. Are you being intentional about your 1-1’s? Are you even having them consi...

How To Isolate & Solve Any Problem / Root Issue In Your Job Or In Your Business

January 12, 2021 08:00 - 9 minutes - 8.98 MB

I was talking with an SPS team member the other day who’s incredibly talented at finding & fixing issues in the business.   It’s a unique skillset to be able to find and fix root issues…and a skillset that not many people have.   Inevitably we asked the question: “Is this something that can be taught? Or is it something you have or you don't?"   Ultimately, we decided it’s a teachable skillset.   In this episode, I attempt to teach that skillset.   I walk throu...

“The light bulb vs. the whack-a-mole" Ever heard of it? Probably not, because I made it up. BUT... it’s one of the most important things you can do in your business.

How To Turn Strokes Of Genius Into Long-Term Success

December 29, 2020 08:00 - 8 minutes - 7.9 MB

When I was first getting started in business I relied on Herculean effort to get things done... Maybe you’ve felt the same way. You think you can muscle it, work harder and that’s how you’ll be successful. Or…maybe you’re thinking: “I’m so talented and creative. You can’t possibly bottle this up!!" Bad news… you’re wrong. 😬 All through life, I’ve gotten good at things or “won” by outworking everyone. I was almost never the best on day 1…but I’d just out-work people and get better...

Best Is The Standard

December 22, 2020 08:00 - 9 minutes - 9.56 MB

Growing up I remember bringing a report card home to my parents.   I had mostly A’s, a couple B’s, maybe even a C.   I was happy with it…at least I was trying to sell to them that this was a good report card.   I handed them the report card...   They got upset when they saw it.   “Chandler, this is not your best.” they said.   “But Mom, Dad, you don’t understand!! My friend got some B’s, C’s, and even a D and his parents aren’t mad. Why are you mad??" ...

Everyone Is Responsible For Facilitating Change

December 17, 2020 08:00 - 8 minutes - 8.59 MB

“This is how we’ve always done it." That phrase is an innovation killer and one of my least favorite phrases of all time. It’s the opposite of: “If you don’t like it, change it”. At SPS, one of our core values is: “Everyone Is Responsible For Facilitating Change”. In this episode, I talk about what that means and how you can use this principle to empower people on your team to make things better. I also talk about a crazy Elon Musk story that illustrates this principle. No more p...

Fail Fast, Fail Forward, Fail Often

December 03, 2020 08:00 - 8 minutes - 8.08 MB

“Fail Fast, Fail Forward, Fail Often" This is one of my favorite Self Publishing School Core Values. It’s one of 5 core values we call “The SPS Way”. We believe that if you’re not failing, you’re not learning…and you’re probably not moving fast enough. This is also my philosophy in snowboarding: if I’m not falling, I’m not going fast enough or pushing the envelope enough. (maybe you’ve seen the videos from these epic crashes 😆) Check out the episode to learn more about this core va...

How I generated $1M+ in revenue for my business in 2018 by speaking on stages

November 24, 2020 08:00 - 19 minutes - 18 MB

In October of 2017, I was talking with my friend Pete Vargas and he said: “Chandler, you need to be using speaking to grow your business” After arguing with him and disagreeing, I reluctantly decided to give it a try. In 2018, I spoke on as many stages as I could and failed as fast as possible…trying to see if this would work.

How To Run Company Meetings In Asana

November 05, 2020 08:00 - 13 minutes - 12.9 MB

Every time someone finds out we run all of our company meetings in Asana, they can’t believe it. First they're confused, then shocked, then their mind is blown once they see how we do it. For most companies, meetings are VERY inefficient. Running our meetings in Asana is one way we run more effective meetings.
