Ping pong tables aren’t culture. Free snacks aren’t culture. And no one needs a forced trust fall at 4:30 on a Thursday. I’ve worked inside the “cool culture” machine. It looked great. It didn’t build trust. Real culture? It’s what you tolerate. What you reward. How you respond when someone screws up. I wrote about the biggest company culture myths I see, and what actually makes a team unstoppable. If you lead people, this one’s for you.

Had a great time last month speaking at The Entrepreneur's Organization, Utah Chapter! Loved meeting everyone and having the opportunity to share our stories. Special shout-out to @CyleAdiar, CEO of @TranscendTranslation, for bringing the positive energy! #entrepreneur #entrpreneurorganization #entrepreneurlife #keynotespeaker

You CAN relax about taxes. And if you were stressed out this year, it's just because you need a simple system to support you. Grab the latest from me on taxes, and never feel unprepared again. https://bit.ly/4sik2GS #taxes #profitfirst #themoneyhabit #businesstaxes #personalfinance

Everyone is busy, and there are a ton of excuses to skip a workout. A ton. But the world needs you. You don't have to train for the next olympics, but you do have to take care of your body so it can get you to where you want to be. Get moving. Even a little bit every day will not only support your physical health, but keep that noggin' of yours clear. You've got this. PS - Tell me if you recognize the shirt! #entrepreneur #wellness #mindset

I get overwhelmed just like everyone else. When my daughter (who is not child-sized) and I see this photo, it's a solid reminder: It's all about perspective. Some things seem far larger than they are. And some, well, some are just an illusion. Today, focus on keeping things in perspective. And feel your stress reduce. You've got this.

Is entrepreneurship easy? Nah. But do we love it? Absolutely. Just like Mr. Rogers said, look for the helpers. In the entrepreneurial space, there are tons of like-minded people who want to share ideas, experiences, and solutions. I like to think I'm one of those people. Here are a few areas I found that I, myself, needed support in. Once I mastered those skills, I figured, why not help others by teaching what I learned? I just may help someone avoid the same pitfalls I faced. So here are a few resources for you. There are more to be had, and you can find them all on Amazon under my name or on my site. If you can't find the support you need, let me know. Heck, you may just be in my next book. #entrepreneur #smallbusinesssupport #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneursupport #businessbooks #resources

Every entrepreneur you admire once had a moment where they thought it was all going to fall apart.

Launch in 6 months? You're limited. You're pressed. But you're NOT doomed. My advice: Keep it simple and get an assistant. Those are the first two things AJ and I cover in the new episode about short launch runways. In Episode 121, we map out your final 3-6 month plan, from essential asset creation to a post-launch sales strategy (The Slow Launch).

You don't have to avoid tax season, you just need a simple system in place to manage them throughout the year. #taxes #themoneyhabit #profitfirst

You spent 12-18 months writing your book. Why spend 12-18 minutes marketing it? If you’re planning a book launch in the next year or two, this episode is for you. The book isn't the finish line; it's the starting point for your business as an author. In the latest episode of the podcast, AJ Harper and I are deep-diving into why a long marketing runway is non-negotiable for success. It's not about being 'extra', but it IS it's about strategic advantage. We discuss: -The essential marketing infrastructure you need time to build (think monetization and major events). -Why relationships are the engine of your launch (and how to avoid a massive, panicked "ask"). -A genius listener story about how a simple, personal letter (inspired by my Mom!) landed her amazing book endorsements. Stop viewing your launch as a sprint. It's a marathon that starts NOW. Get the strategy that prevents team overwhelm and actually builds long-term author success.

Recently, I sent an email about some AI options I was checking out, like Kick, and even my own experiment, AI + The Guy. I got some feedback - mostly positive - but also not. A few of you are concerned that if people have an AI option for everything, your jobs will become obsolete. I don't see it. There's no replacement for human connection. Nuance. Care. But we can use AI to help us simplify, scale, innovate, and focus on what we love to do. On March 25th at 4pm I'll join two AI experts, Jonathan Mast and Sandy Waggett, for a free webinar to put your mind at ease and AI strategies to work for you. https://bit.ly/4sla1ch I can't wait to see you!

Money is on a lot of minds right now. I hear it everywhere. In hallway conversations, in late-night messages from founders, in that quiet pause before someone says, “Can I be honest about something?” I recently sat down with Brad Giles from Evolution Partners - a sharp advisory firm based in Australia - and we talked about what’s really driving money stress. At the core? Habits. The small behaviors that either create calm… or keep us stuck in anxiety. We had a real conversation. The kind where you admit money is emotional, leadership is personal, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is look at your numbers without flinching. Listen in: https://lnkd.in/ezE_PCih If money’s been weighing on you lately, take a breath and give it a listen. You’re not the only one thinking about it. #evolutionpartners #habits #personalfinance #themoneyhabit #money
