I was recently talking to a client about their upcoming planned quarterly outing for their employees. Last quarter, it was clay shooting and UTV trail riding…

An oldie but goodie.

"The first follower is is an underestimated form of leadership in itself. The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader. It takes guts to be the first follower."

In today's world, everybody thinks they have to be the founder or the one with the novel idea. But it takes a lot of guts to be a #2 and get behind someone else's idea.

The world needs great # 2s who are visionary but also know how to get s*** done.

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths." Walt Disney

I love helping my clients and fellow entrepreneurs discover their Core Values - the essential characteristics that describe who they are at the core and what they want from the culture of their organization.

Recently, a client identified "Be curious." as one of their Core Values.

This has to be one of my favorite Core Values of all time!

We need more curious people - people who question assumptions, have an insatiable desire to learn, and are willing to explore new ideas.

What are some of your most inspiring or unique Core Values?

Are you, or do you know, an entrepreneurial business owner wrestling with the paradox of success?

{paradox of success - a psychological phenomenon that arises when a successful entrepreneur’s self-efficacy increases, leading to increased self-reliance that creates blind spots and limitations to greater success.}

If so, please do two things:

1. Take 3 minutes and read this article by Allie Taylor from the National Center for the Middle Market. I promise it will be worth it.
https://5e6a6716-24bb-4f86-ab5e-2fe03f24b666.usrfiles.com/ugd/5e6a67_4855d4782b7b416f8514a16c839ccceb.pdf

2. Call or email us and let us show you how the Entrepreneurial Operating System® can help you overcome the paradox of success.

“It is not until owners and their companies reach seemingly impassible challenges, obstacles, and barriers that they begin to experience their historical success getting in the way of future success. Simply put, the problem they face is in the mirror. An owner’s own psychology prevents them from seeing how what worked in the past no longer gets the desired results or how to fix the problem. The paradox of success is one of the most significant forces that can lead to self-sabotaging an owner’s best interests, goals, and desires. For many owners this means unnecessarily limiting the success of their business.”

Anybody dealing with VUCA?

You know - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity?

If you're an entrepreneurial business owner or leader, I can answer that for you - "yes".

As Professional EOS® Implementers, All Forward helps business owners and leaders move through the VUCA so they can move forward and achieve the vision they have for their businesses and themselves.

"The amount of stress, frustration and anxiety entrepreneurs face on a daily basis because of VUCA tends to trigger the part of the brain that only knows how to be reactive. This is why emotions like fear, anxiety, and frustration trigger the short-sighted survival response. As a result, the brain’s most needed functions for entrepreneurs are shut off. When your brain is in this reactive state, it cannot think."

The part of our brains with critical thinking skills is turned off - here's what you can do to activate it at will.

Check out this excellent video from Simon Sinek.

Entrepreneurial businesses often get stuck when a lack of clarity exists between the visionary role (typically CEO) and the integrator role (typically COO).

When a visionary owner / founder gets trapped in the "integrator" seat you almost always have chaos.

When an ex*****on / operations expert gets trapped in the "visionary" seat you almost always have passionless pragmatism.

EOS helps businesses by ensuring they have the right person in the right seat, providing the clarity necessary to leverage the complementary nature of these two critical roles and grow the business.

Greg's first book, "Essentialism" was very helpful to me. I am looking forward to reading his newest book "Effortless". In the meantime, I found this podcast interview to be very helpful.

This will likely resonate with other entrepreneurial leaders, especially those interested in or running on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS).

"Essentialism is about figuring out what the right things are, and Effortless is about doing them the right way."

Would love to hear feedback, thoughts, comments...
