Carl Gould #70secondCEO
No Seminar Teaches You What to Do After You Hit Your Goals Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And you don't wait until you sell, but a lot of people do, unfortunately. All the seminars are about how to get my goals. You know, how do I pursue a goal? Well, nobody told you what to do when you get them. You know, how many times... The easiest way to see this is to see it in sport every single day. It won't matter. Pick your sport. One team gets out to a big lead, and then what happens? And...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
When You’ve Built Yourself Out of a Job Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. One of the things I learned very early on in my coaching training and when I, I started out my career as a life coach. One of the first things that we learned was that the two top areas of distress you will deal with the client is number two, which is I have a goal. I know what the goal is. I just don't know how to get there, you know, and I need help and I lack the strategy and, you know, maybe the education...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-I Accept Your Resignation
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
I Accept Your Resignation Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. As an owner, not everybody's going to come with you and they don't want to. So stop trying to drag them along. Get used to this. I know it's hard, Ed, and you and I talk about this. It's a hard expression to say as an owner. You don't like to say it, but when somebody's giving you the, I think it's time to go, just say this. I accept your resignation. I accept your, and like some of them out there are like, no, take it out,...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
To Grow and Scale, Commitment Is Non-Negotiable Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. A lifestyle business, convenience and comfort will be the champion. And so they'll come back, and they'll say, ah, this growth is uncomfortable. You need to be committed if you're going to grow and scale. It's one of the world's greatest challenges, and it's almost one of the world's greatest rewards. If you can get a business to scale, you are unfairly and exponentially rewarded because you're in the...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-You Can Always Out Hustle Somebody
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
You Can Always Out Hustle Somebody Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. That's why business in many ways, especially in the entrepreneurial world, I love it so much because you really do get out what you put in and you can out-hustle somebody. They can be better at what you do, but you could beat them on that day because I can get to that networking event five minutes before you, I can stay 10 minutes later. I can get that extra business card. I can get you, you know, and there's always...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Comfort Over Commitment
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Comfort Over Commitment 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 lifestyle business and in many businesses, convenience wins out over commitment. You know, comfort wins out over commitment. Growth is insanely hard. It's relentless. And I get, this is the question I get all the time. So I get a client, a CEO, and they're 40 plus, which means they've been at this 10 years or more. And at some point, cause they're always embarrassed to ask some point, they'll pull me aside and they'll...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-A Non-Family CEO Might Be the Healthiest Hire You Make
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
A Non-Family CEO Might Be the Healthiest Hire You Make Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Best of all worlds, if that's the case. If you can get that CEO to take the job because they, in all seriousness, they'll come in and if they're a pro, they've been through situations like this, and they kind of know family dynamics. But if you can get that person who knows the dynamics and can come in and run the business, it's the best of all worlds because they're emotionally neutral. They...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-You Cant Be Both President and CEO
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
You Can’t Be Both President and CEO Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And I love this, when I see this in email signatures and I tell my clients, I'm like, you gotta stop this because it shows you don't know what the role is. I love it when a small business owner says, I'm president, CEO, and founder. I said, those are two different, like the president and CEO are two totally different jobs. I said, the CEO is much more of the ambassador, sovereign, face of the company role....

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
The Chances Your Kids Want The Family Business Is Low Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Conversation with a good friend recently, well, a few years ago. He was talking about his three sons and two, these two are coming into the business. And I had met the two, I'd never met the third, and I said, about the second, I said, there is zero chance he will come into the business. Zero. He's like, oh no, I've already talked to him and we've assigned him a role. I said, he's saying yes to...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-In Family Businesses Roles Are Assigned by Convenience
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
In Family Businesses, Roles Are Assigned by Convenience Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. In family-run businesses, we assign a role based on convenience or need, not talent and skill, and propensity for the job. And so, you know, we make people managers when they're not really managers. We put people in certain parts of the business because that's the opening that is there. And you do your best to try to match the, you know, some skillset to what they're doing. In that dynamic, it's more...
info_outlineConsistency 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, networking more than 90 minutes those days, but then there are some days I don't do it, right. You know, if you stick to 90 days, it’s not too much. It's enough that you stay consistent. Right? And so you could build 90 minutes a day, or 90 minutes into a day, reasonably. Reasonably. Now, you might say, Well, can I leverage that up to my team? Yes, you can. However, I would say don't yet. Until you nail your– you nail. Like you walk into a room and you're like, where are my bad four-quarter Johns? 1,2,3,4 I could tell by your dress how bad that quarter was. I know exactly what to ask this one. Like you walk into a home and you know that room.
