Being a virtual company, off sites are especially important at Self Publishing School. We’ve run them for years and this is probably one of the most common questions I get from entrepreneur buddies: “how do you run an off site??”. In this episode I break down our process. It’s a little b...
Managing Up - What Does It Mean And How Do You Do It?
October 20, 2020 07:00 - 11 minutes - 11.1 MB“Managing Up" Ever heard of it? When I first heard it I thought it sounded like some sort of big company corporate lingo... BUT…as I’ve grown a team and scaled a company, I’ve come to realize how important it is. This concept is SUPER important for two groups of people: 1. Managers / Leaders: this will free up soooo much time if you train your team on this and hire/fire based on people being “low maintenance superstars" 2. Employees: this is one of the fastest way to get promoted ...

Disagree & Commit
September 17, 2020 07:00 - 5 minutes - 5.91 MBDisagree & Commit...one concept that Andy Grove & Jeff Bezos agree on! If you’re not having conflict on your meetings, you’re not having good meetings. If you’re not having conflict on your team, you probably don’t have a cohesive team that trusts each other. With conflict: ideas are sharpened, people are challenged, and everyone gets better. ALSO with conflict: there’s often disagreement on the best way to move forward. What do you do when that happens? That’s what I talk about ...

Should I get a job or start a business?
September 08, 2020 07:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBShould you get a job or start a business..? 🤔 Contrary opinion of the day: Not everyone should be an entrepreneur. In fact, most people shouldn’t be entrepreneurs. I think the narrative of “everyone should be an entrepreneur” or “why haven’t you started a business yet?” is EXTREMELY toxic. In a world where everyone wants to be #1, there’s a huge void of (and uncanny amount of shame for being) solid #2’s. Not everyone should be an entrepreneur. In fact, a lot of times you can le...

It was written about in Entrepreneur.com and since then, a lot of people have asked how to create their own. There’s a couple in San Diego and a couple in LA (we just started a new one here that I’m living in)…and this is something I think there should be more of.

This is one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced as we’ve scaled Self Publishing School to 20+ full-time team members over the last 4 years.
