As a matter of fact, when I first started my business, my landscaping company, very community-based, very local, I never left 30-50 miles of radius around my house. And I used to do snow removal as well, and that’s Latin for, you never get to take a vacation, ‘cause you never know when it’s gonna snow. Right? So, I could never go anywhere, it’s very very local. But, since then, since I started...

Let's talk a little bit about how we can influence another person. Because at the end of the day, we're gonna go from potential to performance.

Writing a Book Isn’t About the Book Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Okay, so you write a book for three reasons, one of three reasons: I want to get rich, I want to get famous, or I want to get something off my chest, right. So most of the people I believe you're working with are trying to get rich or trying to get famous. Some might be writing something to get off their chest, but I suspect that's probably not the case.

Now this is gonna take discipline from you as a team member because, as their manager, because you can't allow them to come to you with just the problem.
