H.E.I.R.S MENTORSHIP, MOTIVATION and INSPIRATION (BUSINESS AND GROWTH) So where is your business at and what level is it on. Let me know where your at in your career and in your business. Here is a theory if your In a position to be a leader or your running a business or your e executive and you have been in that position for like 6months, a year or even two years. I want to tell yous something and that is that your still in the baby stages. At two years old at any level is still being a baby and shitting in your pants. Thst means you are going to make mistakes and you need tike to grow yourself into the business or the leader thst you need to be. You can't be a baby and think that you are going to run a corporation or that someone is going to let you be in control of they business. How often do you post about your business or how often you sit down and learn about your craft at work. Do you post frequently or do you post once a month. How often you read to work on your craft or learn a out your field or do you sit in front of your laptop and scroll on social media to follow people who don't give a damn about you. So do you want to go to the next level on your job, in your business or you want to get a promotion then you must put in the work and be patient as a person. A baby doesn't learn to walk overnight, it's a process of months or even a year. A Business has to grow and has to grow legs. To get to a position of leadership you have to learn amd grade the concept of being a leader. Knowing how to talk and deal with people. Today don't be in a rush to advance at no level. Be patient and let God work. Work for God and not man. Let God steer your business. Let God steer your life, let God be in control of everything you do. Some people don't get they business up and running until after 25 years and rhst is because the business has matured along the way That is why so many get a business early and it fails because they wasn't mature enough to run the business. So if you Ina position or your establishing yourself be patient at all levels and let things come to you. Don't be in a rush because you see someone else doing tje same thing your doing and they having success or it looks like they having success. You don't know what they went through or going through to have gotten to that level. Al be patient as your time will come. Sincerely, Byron (LCB)

"Two up, one down." It’s an Army thing, but it's also a key to business success. In the Army, they taught me that every soldier needs to know their leader’s intent “two levels up.” If you're a leader, you must convey your intent to the person one step below you without micromanaging the process. Why? It's based on the law of replaceability. Some argue that being "irreplaceable" is the key to success. They're wrong. Being "irreplaceable" hurts you, your team, and the entire organization. If you're irreplaceable, you're trapped (can't afford to let you do anything else). Making yourself as replaceable as possible is the real path to a great career and an even better business. As you "climb the ladder," in business or the military, it becomes even more crucial to make yourself replaceable. In combat, people can be unexpectedly... removed, and the Army needs to replace them without missing a beat - or people die. The same principle applies in business (except it's dreams that die). The higher you go, the more people depend on your role being done right (whether you're there to do it or not). If someone isn't there to lead, it leaves a void. That's why leaders mentor others to take their place if needed. It’s about passing down knowledge and creating a culture that can adapt and thrive. And it allows for you to move - up, or elsewhere - without hurting your team. As a business owner, you need to teach your staff the same principles. When your team knows the intent “two levels up,” they understand their role, contribute effectively, and see opportunities for their future. When you teach them how you approach decision making, they can make decisions aligned with your vision. Encourage mentoring within your team (and model it). When everyone focuses on making themselves replaceable, everything improves. You become the least important (but most appreciated) person in your business. So you can step back, enjoy life, build relationships, and double your business's value. Without constant focus on growth or firefighting. This is what we do in the Business Liberation Collective™. Make your business a self-managing, profit-flowing asset. In 12 months or less. Message me if you’d like to know more.

"People spend time with me. We talk. And miracles occur." - Rich Litvin This happens with me, too. 💁🏾 Not at the same frequency. Yet. 😀 But it does happen. (For new friends, I shared this post earlier this year. For old friends, you can read it again. 💁🏾 ) In his book, The Prosperous Coach, Rich goes on to say, "...what I actually do is help my clients see their world differently. Because when you help someone see their world differently, their world changes. "When someone sees the world differently, they show up differently, and they create results that looked impossible a moment before. That is a miracle." The passage reminds me of an example of how I help my clients see the goal beyond the goal, the real reason buried deep underneath the stated reason they want to work with me. To make a long story short, here is a short story about one of my students: David, a seasoned professional, hired me to help him succeed on GMAT so he could get accepted to business school, graduate, and further his career. I tutored him, but in our sessions, I insisted that he actually talk with the admissions officers at the programs he was applying to, because it's harder for them to deny a candidate they have spoken with. So he did. End of story: Halfway through our block of sessions, David got accepted to his ideal MBA program without taking the GMAT, or any other test. This situation is not unheard of, but it is NOT common. My point is... What is my point? Trust me? No, miracles. I make miracles happen, often even before you pay me. I help you realize what your real goal is. You don't just want to learn how to write a speech for a conference. You want to connect with your next strategic partner. 🤝 You don't just want to learn how to tell a joke on stage. You want to get your audience to know, like, and trust you so they become the next cheerleaders for your business. 📣 You don't just want to learn how to end your presentation with a standing ovation. You want to be viewed as THE thought leader in your industry, so that investors are chasing you--not the other way around--and you finally complete the Series D funding you need to expand into the global market. 🌏 Fellow Introverted CEO, how will you make your next big presentation successful today? 🤔 Tell me in the comments. ⤵️ Or, if you need help to make your next big presentation a success, then send me a message on LinkedIn. 📩 Mahlena can help. Let’s feel the fear… …and speak anyway. 😯 Thanks for reading. 🙂 •••••••••• #speakanyway #businessstorytelling #ceo #ceos  #communication #corporatestorytelling #education #executivecoach  #executiveeducation #executivestorytelling  #innovation #introvert #introverts #intj #leadership #personalbrand #persuasion #performance #presentationskills #pressure #professionaldevelopment #publicspeaking #stagefright #storytelling #storytellingforbusiness  #thoughtleader #thoughtleadership

Are you patient? – could you be more patient? Building a successful business usually takes time – you must be patient: Here are seven key ideas to consider: 1.The "10,000 Hours Theory" originates from the work of psychologist Anders Ericsson and was popularised by Malcolm Gladwell in his book Outliers. The theory suggests that it takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve mastery in a particular field, whether it is playing an instrument, playing sports, or excelling in business. So, practicing 40 hours a week (like a full-time job) would take about 4.8 years to reach 10,000 hours and practicing 20 hours a week would take 9.6 years. You must be patient. 2. I tell my clients and potential clients that starting a business is like the game of Monopoly – you start going round the board and very little happens – you pass “Go” and pick up £200 and hopefully you get some Free Parking and you avoid the “Go to Jail” space – and then you buy a house and three others – and you can buy a hotel and like the snowball rolling down the hill, you have momentum – but to get that momentum, you have to go through that “nothing happens” period. You must be patient. 3. In his wonderful book Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfilment, George Leonard discusses the concept of the plateau as an essential and inevitable part of the path to mastery. The plateau as a phase in learning where visible progress seems to stall – then you get an uplift, and you are onto another plateau – you must be patient. 4. Building a business often demands a lot of hustle, but the best results come when you "hustle patiently." The Roman saying “Festina Lente,” or “make haste slowly,” captures this perfectly. It's about finding the balance between urgency and patience, ensuring you don’t rush into mistakes. 5. Jack Welch, was an American businessman, best known for his tenure as the CEO of General Electric (GE) from 1981 to 2001. During his leadership, GE's market value soared, making him one of the most respected and influential business leaders of his time. He had a theory to "wallow in a problem” thoroughly exploring a problem before jumping to solutions. This idea contrasts with the tendency in many business environments to seek quick fixes or rush to conclusions. 6. The phrase "chopping wood and fetching water" originates from Zen Buddhism and reflects a teaching that most activities including business involves many mundane activities – but just embrace them and be patient. . 7. John Fairley, my senior Partner at JFP Strategic Planning, is a good networker. I was recently at a networking lunch with him and he appeared at the lunch table with the Senior Partner of a well-known Accountancy Practice – and he says “It’s great, Ian and I have been chatting for 20 minutes and we have not yet talked about business! “. When it comes to networking, John knows patience is of paramount importance.      John Fairley

Embracing Failure: A Guide for Business Owners In the unpredictable landscape of business, encountering tasks that remain unfinished is not uncommon. Whether it's a project that didn't quite meet its goals or an initiative that fizzled out unexpectedly, these moments of non-completion can leave us feeling frustrated and defeated. However, there's a silver lining to be found in these setbacks—a wealth of invaluable lessons that can ultimately propel your business forward. #### Learning How Not to Do It Failure provides a unique opportunity to learn. When a task remains unfinished, it's a chance to dissect what went wrong. This introspection is not just about identifying missteps but understanding why they occurred. Did communication breakdown? Was the scope unrealistic? By recognizing these pitfalls, you equip yourself with critical insights into what to avoid in future endeavors. Each failure becomes a stepping stone towards refining your approach and enhancing your chances of success. #### Discovering Insights About Yourself Beyond the task itself, failure sheds light on personal strengths and weaknesses. How do you respond when faced with adversity? Are you resilient, resourceful, or perhaps overly cautious? Your reactions to failure reveal crucial aspects of your character and leadership style. It's an opportunity to grow emotionally and professionally, honing your ability to navigate challenges with grace and determination. #### Knowing When to Pivot Not every unfinished task warrants persistence. Sometimes, despite our best efforts, external factors or shifting priorities render continued pursuit impractical. Recognizing when to pivot or abandon a project is a mark of strategic acumen. It's about aligning your goals with market demands and personal values. If a venture consistently meets roadblocks or no longer resonates with your vision, it may be time to reassess and redirect your energy towards more promising endeavors. #### Realigning Goals for Success Failure serves as a powerful catalyst for introspection. It prompts you to reevaluate your objectives and ensure they remain relevant and meaningful. Are your current goals aligned with the evolving needs of your business? Do they reflect your core values and aspirations? By periodically realigning your goals, you ensure that every endeavor contributes meaningfully to your long-term success. ### Conclusion In the dynamic world of business, encountering tasks that defy completion is not just inevitable—it's instructive. Each failure offers a chance to refine your strategies, deepen your self-awareness, and realign your goals. By embracing these lessons, you transform setbacks into stepping stones towards greater achievements. Remember, it's not the failure itself that defines you but how you respond to it. So, the next time you face an unfinished task, embrace it as an opportunity for growth and future success in your business journey.

Hey LinkedIn fam! Today let's talk about the ever-challenging, ever-rewarding topic of navigating the business side of life. As a professional athlete, I've had to learn firsthand how to balance the demands of football with the complexities of the business world. Here are some key lessons I've picked up along the way: 1. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work - Just like on the field, success in business often comes down to teamwork. Whether you're collaborating with colleagues on a project or negotiating a deal with partners, having a strong team behind you can make all the difference. It's about leveraging each other's strengths and working together toward a common goal. I can attest that launching my 7 Crucibles book, doing community events, building a strong brand, none of it would be possible without having good people in your corner and the teamwork shared in getting things done. 2. Be Able To Adapt - In both football and business, things don't always go according to plan. That's why it's essential to be adaptable and flexible in the face of change. Whether it's adjusting your game plan mid-game, picking up a well disguised blitz, or pivoting your business strategy in response to market shifts, the ability to adapt is crucial for long-term success. 3. Discipline Breeds Success - Discipline is the foundation of excellence, both on and off the field. Whether it's sticking to a rigorous training regimen or maintaining a strong work ethic in the office, discipline is what sets high performers apart from the rest. It's about making the small daily choices that lead to big results over time. This isn't always easy, but its incredibly important. 4. Be Resilient in the Face of Adversity - In football, as in life, setbacks are inevitable. Injuries, losses, unexpected roster moves, they happen. It's how we respond to adversity that defines us. Whether it's bouncing back from a tough loss on the field or navigating a challenging business deal, resilience is what allows us to keep pushing forward, even when the going gets tough. 5. Always Be Learning - Both football and business require a commitment to continuous learning and growth. Whether it's studying game film to improve your performance on the field or staying up-to-date on industry trends to stay ahead in business, the pursuit of knowledge is what fuels progress and innovation. As you navigate the business side of life, remember these lessons from football: teamwork/relationships, adaptability, discipline, resilience, and continuous learning. By applying these principles, you'll be well-equipped to tackle any challenge that comes your way and achieve success both on and off the field. How do you apply lessons from sports to your professional life?

Did you know that there are three, and only 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 you must have in place to increase your consistency and ultimately turn your business into a well-oiled machine that runs without you? I know it sounds weird, but after working with McDonald's for nearly 3 decades and hundreds of businesses just like yours - I can tell you with absolute certainty that you need all three of these elements!( The good news is the “big 3 elements” are actually pretty simple (maybe not easy but simple nonetheless)... 𝐎𝐧𝐞: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 This might sound superficial but you have to be absolutely, 100% committed to doing what it takes right now to reach your goal of having a business that runs like clockwork without you needing to be there. Let's be honest here. We both know that 90% of people simply either don’t take action or throw in the towel at the first sign of friction. I've heard people say they want freedom from the day to day - people claim they’re serious about it, and countless others talk about their big plans to have a business that works without them needing to be there every day, but the fact is only a small fraction of people have the commitment to actually make it happen and see things through. 𝐓𝐰𝐨: 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 Even committed and ultra-driven business owners need CLARITY to achieve results. You can call it what you want: a roadmap, recipe, game plan or blueprint, but you have to follow a proven and easy-to-follow path if you want to get from Point A (a stressed out fire fighter) to Point B (crushing your goal of a consistent and reliable business!). This is the problem - no clear path! 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 This is where the rubber meets the road! Not confidence in yourself necessarily, but 100% confidence in the fact that you are getting the support (coaching and mentorship) from a trusted expert who has the experience and leadership skills to partner with you, help you get 'unstuck' and keep you moving forward until you achieve your goal. And you will get stuck! You can have all the commitment and motivation in the world, a super clear path/roadmap to follow but you also need complete confidence in who you choose to work with along the way. This is why the success rates for courses and information products are so low - you can sit through endless hours of training on what to do to reach your goals, but working side by side with a trusted mentor who will show you how, will massively increase your odds of success. Speaking of which - if you want to learn more about how our Chaos to Consistency programme can get you to that stress-free operation, without confusing you even more, or adding massively to your already crazy workload, then here’s the next step: Book a call with me and let me help you get clear on your goals, challenges and priorities, and get you where you want to be faster! https://lnkd.in/edKEKBty #leadership #businessowner

David Greenberg, Founder of Greenberg Capital | Why You Need To Learn How To Fail You've heard it said, "Be nice to the C students; they'll end up leading the pack." Let's unpack that. The typical A student excels in a structured, predictable system. Read, memorize, regurgitate. Repeat. But the real world? It's not so neat. C students get this. They live it. Faced with a less-than-stellar report card, they confront something vital: Resilience. Schools reward perfection. Life rewards resilience. Think about the giants of industry. Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey. Not one famed for academic excellence. But all champions in the arena of setbacks and comebacks. Here's the twist. It's not about celebrating mediocrity. It's about recognizing the hidden curriculum in those average grades. Failure teaches flexibility, adaptation, grit. Skills that a flawless report card often misses. Every 'C' is more than a grade. It's a mini-bootcamp for the unpredictable business world. Missed the mark? Learn, adapt, move on. That's the cycle of growth in business. So next time you face a setback, remember: It's not just a misstep. It's a lesson in one of the most crucial business skills – resilience. Embrace your C's. They're not just letters. They're your stepping stones to business mastery.
