Hi Team...

I hope you are having a great week...

We are grinding away over here...

Big week of getting meat boxes out to customers at our farm...

And, and a BIG week for me working with individual leaders and companies....

In just the last week alone I have had 4-major companies reach out about working together to do one thing: IMPROVE THEIR CULTURE AND TEAM MORALE.

Yup.

People are feeling down, defeated, disengaged, tired, fatigued...

So, they want Coach to come in and drive the truth into them...

But here is the deal, if you are going to drive the truth into people, you better have a BIG healthy vision that is filled with juice to go with it...

Meaning, you can not just tell everyone we are sucking right now and not have a clear path for them to stop sucking...

You must have a plan...

A good one, a clear one, an exciting one- and one they want to believe in...

I tell leaders all the time...

It is either that you have no vision and therefore your team has no vision- or, you and your team are too fried to see a positive future...

Anyway, I wrote something today on LinkedIn that I believe you will enjoy...

Here it is...

If you do not talk about Vision every single day, you are talking about bullshit.

How is that for a headline?

It is true.

Leaders and teams today get so caught up on petty nonsense that they forget about what matters most: PROFIT. SALES. DEALS. PIPELINES. WINNING.

That is it.

But those can only happen if the people are right, the culture is right, and the leadership x people connection is right.

I tell you what- if as a leader your people trust you- you can literally get them to do anything for you...

Through the years- my coaching philosophy was based on one thing: TRUST.

My people TRUST that I care about them, their development, their goals.

I make their victory my victory.

I start every relationship with these 2 things..

1. If you do not make your coaching investment back- fire me.

2.I promise over the next 12-months you will make more, live more, and be your most dominant self or at the very least be trending that way since you will no longer be bullshitting yourself.

Last year, every single client went on to win big.

Some did the biggest deals of their career...

Others sold their companies fo big $...

Others quit their jobs and joined new PE firms and companies...

And for others- they stopped spinning their wheels and got a clear direction and purpose...

And lastly- others knocked off 20+ lbs.

All started with trust.

All started with aligning OURSELVES to what it is we want...

All started with knowing EXACTLY where we wanted to go...

And once we determine the above- we talk about it EVERY SINGLE DAY.

The vision.

The belief.

The where we are headed...

If you lead people, get on the hill and chant the battle cry, the vision daily and let your people know EXACTLY where we are headed...

But here is the thing...

Make it someplace good.

We have enough crap going on today...

As a leader, sell the vision, sell the bright future, and you will eventually find your way there if you call the right play with the right people...

Got it?

Go out and win today...
