Review psychological tricks in discounting and danger signs that you may be pricing your product too low. Continue reading

Family Owned Businesses may wrongly fear external factors as their greatest threat to success
Image
Family businesses, pay attention. The lesson here is clear. You can do all of the financial/legal planning perfectly and still fail. Why? The real enemy may lie within, lurking in the shadows, right under our nose. When we avoid having candid and yes sometimes difficult conversations with family members we start down a path of dysfunction that is hard to leave. It doesn’t have to be that way, you can do better by… Continue reading

Your People. The Only Competitive Advantage Left?
Image
You may have great ideas, interesting products and services that people need and want, but ultimately your people conceive, build, sell and support them. It takes a great team committed to your purpose and vision to be truly successful. Perhaps I’ve got your attention now or perhaps you are simply saying to yourself “no kidding Sherlock, nothing new here, I know that.” We may know that, but most of us do a miserable job identifying, hiring, onboarding, training, coaching and keeping great people. We all too often take them for granted or worse, we rely on our best to carry the rest. Continue reading

Michael...I thought the exact same thing, as you can tell from my post. I came away with a very different experience unrelated to do with anything to do with making money. No question...a marketing machine in action and I will be the first to say that not everything is valuable, but what speaker is? Note that he does a few different talks, I only went to this one particular one. I always look at these type of events as worthwhile if I have one really good takeaway. In this case I did and it wasn't anything related to selling, making money, speaking, etc. What is interesting about him vs. some of the other circuit speakers is that he shares a ton of insider information in regards to the speaking circuit. Next time I see you I will give you a copy of one of his books.
