Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...and Others Don't - EMP020
March 05, 2018 18:00 - 11 minutes - 10.9 MBLet’s talk about Jim Collins’ book, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap… and Others Don’t. Collins has a huge task in this book of identifying factors and variables that allow a small fraction of companies to make the transition from merely good to truly great.

Collins and his research team identified a handful of companies that fulfilled their...
The Dip - EMP019
February 26, 2018 18:00 - 6 minutes - 6.12 MBThe interesting thing about The Dip is that it goes against what many people advise. You often hear that you should “never quit,” but that is not the case with this book. Seth thinks that sometimes, you should quit, and refocus on something that makes sense. I guess in a sense it’s basically like pivoting. Seth says you should quit often, so it frees up space and time to do the other things that you should stick with. Get your copy on Amazon here today to learn whether you should quit some...
The Magic Of Thinking Big - EMP018
February 19, 2018 18:00 - 9 minutes - 8.66 MBThe Magic of Thinking Big is one of the first books I listened to on Audible when I started getting into this “mindset shift.” I’ve got to credit my friend Manny Atilano for introducing me to Audible as well as this type of thinking. He had a huge collection of books and helped get me started with a few he recommended. We’d go to Starbucks to work and “get on the grind” as we would call it. Those early days would evolve from just brainstorming business ideas to now having my website, blog, p...

New Year Resolutions - EMP011
January 01, 2018 18:00 - 10 minutes - 9.37 MBHappy New Year! I don't really believe in "New Year Resolutions" and explain why in this episode.

The Importance Of Mentors and Network - EMP009
December 18, 2017 18:00 - 9 minutes - 8.29 MBYour mom was right. Who you hang out with tends to define you. If you're hanging out with people who are okay with the status quo and don't have drive to do more, they'll pull you down to their level. If you want to level up, you need to elevate your peers. Find mentors who have been there and done that, have a proven track record, and are willing to show you the ropes or even just grab a cup of coffee. This episode dives into the importance of mentors and network. Feel free to reac...
