14. Training your staff: mistake #1

Apple, Dr. FJ, Steve Jobs - February 13, 2020

13. Apple Store's success and how YOU can learn from it

Steve Jobs was a fascinating guy that did some remarkable things; I've really enjoyed studying and learning more about him

For sure, he wasn't perfect, but there is a lot you can learn from him.

When Apple designed their first brick and mortar store they made over half of it a space for 'solutions' - it wasn't full of inventory like every other store. This allowed the staff space to teach people how to use what they already had and in doing so, creating ironclad loyalty.

Dr. FJ, work/family balance - February 11, 2020

11. Work & Family Balance

I know most coaches & speakers like to talk about work & family balance, but I see very few who have truly mastered it.

Each year at the December training, I write out my long term vision.

Where I want to be in 30 years and where I want to be when I am 100.

One of the first goals is: my wife, Korie and I are happily married to each other, our children are healthy and thriving, and that we have a fun, loving, and supportive relationship with them.

These goals, like all goals, will only be achieved if there are action steps that you consistently execute, if not, they are just wishes.

When you are an owner & operator that loves what you do, it is easy to neglect your family, yourself and your health.

Here are 3 actions I have executed in my own life that have helped me maintain great work, life, and family balance.

10. What an oak tree can teach you

Last week I was digging up and replanting plants. Around one of the big trees in our yard, I am assuming it’s an oak tree but have no idea if it is, there were roots everywhere.

Big ones and little ones, all spreading way out into the yard.

It dawned on me.

This is precisely how you want your marketing to be.

You leverage every available medium to tell your story to the people you want to take care of.

You should use:
