Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Why Letting Go Is the Hardest Part of Growth Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I was just reading an interview, an old interview with Bill Gates where he said in the early days of microsoft he--he wrote all the code and then when they bought in coders, he had to sign off on all the code before it went out and then they bought in Steve Ballmer and Steve was like Bill does anything happening that’s it, you’re not doing that anymore and--but Bill Gates had a hard time letting go of the...

Schedule It or It Disappears Part 1 Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results. This is the one thing, the main thing that trips up your progress is scheduling conflicts. That’s why we developed the Annual Milestones Planning the way we do. Where you put it on the wall, and you step back and you’re like, you’re going to do that? At the same time, we’re doing that? That sounds crazy! That’s just a macro example of how you’re not managing the resources. This is just a micro example, alright? So, absolutely have...

You’re gonna say, you’re gonna say, all you’re gonna say is, “There’s a seat for every one of you on the bus.” And over your head on this, over this shoulder is going to be today’s organizational chart with all the names in it, and tomorrow’s, or your five or ten-year plan, or whatever. And, for example, the job you’re in right now you won’t be in that in five years. Alright, so if you’re a CEO now, you might be a...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Exit or Evolution—You Need a Plan - Part 1 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. An exit strategy. 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...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Why People Must Feel Safe Before They Act Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. 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. But the idea here is that you will be influential to another person, alright? Now building rapport and ultimately influencing something, somebody, it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, that’s a bit of an automatic reflex. In other words, wired into our central nervous...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Success Puts You in Uncharted Territory Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You know, one of the first things I learned as a coach was that there are two types of distress you're going to deal with a lot as a coach. And the number two type of distress is, I know what I want. I haven't gotten there yet and I'm not either. I'm not sure or lack of strategy, or I don't have the resources, or whatever the number one type of distress is, I've achieved my goals, I set out to achieve certain...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
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. I want to get rich, meaning not just from the book, but I want to use...

Stop Letting Your Heart Kill Your Sales Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. In the game we're in, we sell us as good as anyone, and we have to sell us, alright. Now- Nobody does (unclear word follows) Nobody does, right? However, I've learned a few things after certifying and helping 7,000 people like you launch their business, is you are heartless servants. You want to change the world, you want to help people, and you will work for free to help somebody else rather than make them...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Consistency Beats Intensity in Growth Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now, as a general rule of thumb, we say 90 minutes a day of business development. Whatever these five are to the best that you can, do 90 minutes a day. If you can’t avoid it, try not to do more than that. Unless you're like, I'm at a networking event. It's eight hours long. Like when I'm at Board of Advisors, Ray and I are members of Board of Advisors in Minnesota, you know, it's an all-day event. So I'm, you know,...
info_outlineHow Structure Creates Scalable Systems Part 1
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
Buy a system i.e you buy a franchise before that franchise can be successful you must have a structure in place, so what’s the difference? Structure means you're taking people and putting them in certain roles and giving them certain task, now that is different than a system because in the beginning you are not controlling 100% of everything they do, this is one of the hardest things to grasp in a business because you need to put people in place and with minimal training they have to serve the client and use initiative and their flexibility and along the way of putting people in place, putting people in that structure out of that you will begin to develop your systems. Much like an airplane that sits on a runway, awaiting its time to take off. The pilot must use his common sense and the maximum amount of flexibility in order to get the plane, the cargo, and the people in it in the air. He is given a system in the beginning, there is a system for having a plane take off and there is a structure and a checklist in order for that pilot to launch that plane into the air.
