Show don’t tell👊🏼

A great culture is one of the biggest assets a growing business has.

As a business gets bigger hiring top talent gets even more important and showing your company culture is the best way to attract top performers.

Comment below what you do to show your company’s culture. 👇🏻

What are you doing to positively impact the lives of the people you lead?

Here are three questions I’m constantly asking myself in order to hold myself accountable to being the best leader I can be:

1. Am I transparent on the targets? If a team or individual is working towards a target, it better be crystal clear what that target is and what the road to achieving it looks like.

2. Am I giving feedback in real time? Of course correction is needed, there’s no better time to give constructive feedback than in the moment.

3. Am I celebrating wins? The only emotion in business should be celebration. This keeps morals high and people excited about achieving even larger goals.

What are you doing to develop your leadership skills further?

A leader’s job is to make other people’s success easy.

That’s right. Read that again.

This is why 1:1s are so important and here are three reasons why:

1. The meeting allows for priorities to be set.

2. Metrics and progress is clearly tracked and discussed.

3. This is a safe space for team members to bring opportunities and ideas to the table.

If you have people directly reporting to you, 1:1 meetings should be a nonnegotiable part of your schedule.

Drop a 👊🏼 if you agree.

You can spend your life wishing or you can spend you time doing. Odds are working hard will pay off a lot sooner than wishing will.

I am thankful for the work I get to do everyday.

I am thankful for the amazing partners who share our core values and create people-centric businesses even when it’s easy not to care.
I am thankful for each and every client who chooses to trust us with their businesses.
I am thankful for the amazing team that I get to work alongside.
I am thankful for the sacrifices I have made that got me where I am.
I am thankful that I trusted my vision for my life even when no one else saw it.
I am thankful for the family and friends who truly support me.
I am thankful for all the haters who fuel my desire to be the best version of myself.
I am thankful for all of the rejection, setbacks, and disappointments. They have turned out to be the greatest gift.

Flourish and prosper my friends🫶

Learning to say no is my greatest superpower.

Here are things Im not afraid to say no to:

1. Partying
2. Gossip
3. Staying up past my bedtime
4. Negative people
5. Losers

Why? Because these things hinder my ability to hit my targets and achieve my goals. For so long I was a people pleaser and said yes to things that didn’t serve me. Once I realized these were set backs it started to become easy to say no.

So here’s your sign that saying no is the greatest superpower an ambitious person can have.
