Carl Gould #70secondCEO
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: 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 your device with you, go to that...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Low performers who complain about not being accountable. Low performers, you're getting it, right? Go to battle with those that you could do that. All right, so now I'll give you some of the trends that I'm seeing. All right, so we do business, and we've advised companies in 78 countries. One of the advantages of that is we see trends before they come here, and we also, for our other-than-US clients, we see the trends here, and we can run over there and say, hey,...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Why One Low Performer Can Hurt Your Entire Team
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So, now, business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire, because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. In sales, yes, there are times when you get the lucky one, right? We have a franchisee who thought they were calling our competitor. And they said, Oh, I remember the three calls we had; they were so good. Meanwhile, I'm going through my records, I'm like, does anyone have a record of this person? What did we miss? We didn't find out till later that they actually were talking to the competition. They mistakenly sent us an email for the fourth meeting, which...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Go Where the Decision-Makers Are
Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Between 7 and 9 a.m. The reason I do that is to minimize the gatekeepers that keep me from my prospects. I know that at 7 a.m., business owners and decision-makers get their phones; they're at arm's length, and they can't help themselves. They'll see that phone ring, and they're like, Oh, my assistant isn't around. Someone has got to answer this phone. Ring number three, ring number four. Drives them crazy. Go to that networking event. You know who's there?...

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Too good at what you do to not have the lead flow that you need. You're too good at what you do. So I know darn well if you went to every trade show and if you were at every event and you were typing in every time I asked and you were going for it 100%, you'd have your leads, right? And so July is a great opportunity to say, all right, yeah, yeah, yep. I went to go see the 4th of July fireworks on the 2nd of July. Also, instead of doing that thing that I knew I...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Are you in the committed mode? Are you in the convenient mode? And here's what we find out almost 100% of the time. You're not getting the results you want; you probably fell into the convenient mode. And I understand. I live in a shore state, New Jersey. We have a beach that backs right up to the Atlantic Ocean. And guess where everybody is from now until Labor Day? There. Guess where they're not?

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

You are the faster-paced and more outgoing. You are goal-driven. You like to get the result. You like to win, right? You're very competitive, not very patient, right? You don't want to hear a lot about process.
You like things muddy because you know, you don't need a lot of process. You can kind of do your thing. You can move around the fishbowl, say what you want to one, say what you want to the other. You can work all the angles. The more chaos, the better. And you're a wartime.
You're a wartime employee. In other words, the more chaos there is, the better you get. Okay. There's our muddy fish.
