How To Create A Critical # / Quarterly Theme For Your Company

October 27, 2020 07:00 - 12 minutes - 12.2 MB

Do you create a Critical Number or Quarterly Theme in your business? It’s one of the best / easiest ways to keep your entire team focused on what’s most important. And…it’s a lot of fun. At Self Publishing School, we do this every quarter and it’s one of the fun ways we’ve been able to gamify / rally the entire team around fixing some of the BIGGEST problems in our business over the last few years. Some of my favorite past themes are: The light bulb vs. the whack-a-mole Rough Draft...

3 Steps To Run A GREAT Company Off Site

October 22, 2020 07:00 - 19 minutes - 18.6 MB

Have you ever run an off site for your company? (or a company retreat?) Maybe you’re doing your first one…looking to set goals. …or maybe you’ve done a few and you’re looking to make them better. 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 ...

October 15, 2020 07:00 - 14 minutes - 14.1 MB

Ever had a hard time making a decision? ...especially around which job to take or which business to start?   I created a “pie chart decision making process” that makes any decision like this MUCH easier.   I use it all the time when recruiting, when having conversations with potential employees, or when having conversations with people that are thinking about leaving Self Publishing School.   I also use this anytime I’m talking with friends that are looking for a job (or t...

Paying Tuition To The School Of Life

October 06, 2020 07:00 - 5 minutes - 5.41 MB

As a college drop-out, I dropped out before getting to all of the business classes. As a result, I had to learn most lessons in business the hard way…trial and error.

Bunker Time (Aka Primetime)

October 01, 2020 07:00 - 5 minutes - 5.37 MB

Ever heard of Bunker Time or Primetime?   One of my favorite books of all time is “The ONE Thing”.   In the book, they talk about “bunker time”.   It’s similar to something I’ve been doing for a long time that I call “primetime”.   Primetime, Bunker Time, whatever you want to call it…it works.   It’s one of the key things we train new employees on at Self Publishing School when they’re getting started so that they can be effective in their role and get the most...

Eating for energy...here's how to boost your energy with a few SMALL tweaks to your diet.   A mentor growing up gave me some advice that shocked me...   He said: “Chandler, I eat for fuel…NOT for pleasure”.   The lesson he was trying to teach me is simple: the food you eat has a HUGE impact on your energy levels.   This has become a big part of how I perform at a high level daily…whether I’m working a normal work day or traveling to give a speaking gig.   Durin...

Disagree & Commit

September 17, 2020 07:00 - 5 minutes - 5.91 MB

Disagree & 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 ...

How To Overcome Limiting Beliefs Around Being A Young Leader Or Entrepreneur

September 15, 2020 07:00 - 7 minutes - 7.39 MB

Are you a young leader looking for people to respect you more? This episode will help! One time I was interviewing someone who wanted to work at SPS and I said: “you’re a lot older than me and you’ll report directly to me. Is that going to be a problem?" I was terrified about my age, and whether or not people would want to listen to me or “follow” me as their leader. My whole life I’ve been the youngest person in the room... …almost always hiring and managing people who were older ...

Some great tips on how to use A.D.D as a superpower if you have it, and how to support the people in your life ...

Should I get a job or start a business?

September 08, 2020 07:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MB

Should 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...

"The 20 Mile March"

September 03, 2020 07:00 - 5 minutes - 5.9 MB

Here's how to use the 20 Mile March to accomplish your biggest goals! I remember hearing about this concept from Hal Elrod a few years back and it rocked my world. It fundamentally changed the way I approach goal setting & goal achievement. It’s called the “20 Mile March”. This has become the core way we achieve any goal at SPS, and how I approach all of my goals personally. I’ve found that this concept is often known, but seldom used. Listen to the episode where I explain the co...

How To Create A Company Org Chart

September 01, 2020 07:00 - 10 minutes - 9.83 MB

Here's how to create an organizational chart (org chart) that ACTUALLY works for your company... Does your company have an org chart? I remember hiring my first few employees at Self Publishing School and then suddenly realizing there was mass confusion around who was responsible for what. To bring order to the chaos, I learned that I needed to create an org chart. There was only one problem: I had no idea what an org chart was…much less how to structure one for my company. Besides...

August 27, 2020 07:00 - 13 minutes - 12.5 MB

Thinking about dropping out of school? Here's how to know if you should or not... **controversial topic alert** Some parents hate me... When their kids talk with me about college, they often end up dropping out. 🙃 If you don’t know, I dropped out of college to start my company. For most people, I think getting a college degree is a waste of time. As a result, I often get asked: “Why did you decide to drop out?” or “How do I know if I should drop out or stay in school?" In this ...

If you’ve listened to my episodes with Jamal, you know how passionate I am about this concept! Shout out ...

How To Create An "Entrepreneur House" (Or A Co-Living House)

August 13, 2020 07:00 - 12 minutes - 7.55 MB

Ever heard of an “Entrepreneur House” or a co-living house? A few years ago I created the first Entrepreneur House in San Diego. 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. It doesn’t have to be an “Entrepreneur House”... It can be any sort of house that brings tog...

How To Create Great Culture On A Virtual Team (and when to switch to a physical office)

July 21, 2020 07:00 - 12 minutes - 7.43 MB

How do you build a strong culture if you run a remote team? 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. As much as it’s fun to be able to work from home…there are some serious challenges that come from only seeing the people you work with 2-4 times a year in person. People like to poo poo on having a physical office…but it does make a lot of things easier when it comes to culture and team b...

Add Value First In All Relationships

July 16, 2020 07:00 - 14 minutes - 8.63 MB

What relationships do you have that you would like to grow and foster? In 2015 I wrote 365 “thank you cards”…one for every day of the year. I like doing challenges, if you can’t tell. : ) In 2014, it was 100 push ups/day…2015 was thank you cards. Sending thank you cards and gifts is a core part of my “Add Value First” approach to relationships. I like to zig when others zag so thank you cards are a great way to do that since nobody sends physical mail anymore. Check out this epis...

July 07, 2020 07:00 - 13 minutes - 8.25 MB

"The Curse Of Being A Charismatic Leader" (The Difference Between Inspiring People & Leading People)

June 30, 2020 07:00 - 6 minutes - 4.31 MB

Do you need to be charismatic to be a good leader? I answer that question in this episode! "I’m not as charismatic as you...so I don’t think I can be a good leader." This is probably one of the biggest myths about leadership. When it comes to leading, charisma can actually be a bad thing.

I started reading books, attending events, going through courses, and getting feedback from my team…all my training & development time was focused on becoming a better leader.

How To Ruthlessly Cut The Fat In Your Business To Free Up More Time For You & Your Employees
