My Business On Purpose
You know that dashboard in front of you when you get in a car and start driving it around? One of the things you're looking at, obviously, is the speedometer, odometer, the fuel gauge—those sorts of things. But it’s also those lights, those warning lights that can come up and let you know what the performance of the car is doing. And so in business, we have a dashboard. We operate via dashboard. And with that dashboard, there are also some warning lights—some yellow lights, some red lights—that we can look for. Hey, it’s Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. I wanted to walk you, as...

Is your leadership running at full speed… but your energy running on empty? In this episode of The Dickie & Donny Show, Shawn “Dickie” Stinson and Brandon “Donny” Gray dig into a silent leadership killer—overfunctioning systems—and how they quietly drain your capacity, weaken your team, and leave you teetering on the edge of burnout.

Through the vivid metaphor of a dying tree—rotting...

Well, there are some things that I love in life and there are some things that I want to avoid like the plague. Conflict is one of those. I am not one of those that looks to run into conflict. In fact, I would classify myself as pretty conflict averse. But I’ve had to learn over time that leadership requires these things to come out eventually. That doesn’t mean I’ve done them great. Actually, this picture you see—if you’re watching on video—I got from a buddy of mine, Rob Shreve. Don’t worry, audio listeners, I’ll walk through it. Rob has this book by John Maxwell, a...

Most of the businesses we work with have less than 100 employees. In fact, if you were to do a bell curve, you'd see that most of our clients fall somewhere between five and 50 employees in that sweet spot. So we tend to give a lot of examples. The majority of our clients are in the contracting space or the AEC space—architecture, engineering, contracting—or industries that support those. It’s a privilege to work with them. Within that, what we typically run into is not a lack of ideas or concepts, but a mindset barrier—that tends to be the rub—that keeps them from being liberated...

We've been liberating owners from chaos for a little over 10 years now at the time of this recording. When you look back at the history or sort of the anthology of what we've seen built in these tools in the Business On Purpose Operating System, we've realized that one of the core tools is something that we call the Master Process Roadmap. If you look at it, there’s a core question that many owners ask, and that is, “What happens to the business if something happens to me?” Well, if you've got your Master Process Roadmap in place, then you've got something that the business can continue...

Recently, Ashley and I have had the privilege of meeting with some young couples and talking to them as they're just coming into marriage or preparing to be married. They often ask us a variety of questions, as you would expect from anyone talking to a couple who’s been married for a while. One of the big issues that consistently comes up early in marriage—and continues to show up later—is the issue of money. That’s been true in our marriage as well. It makes sense that money and finances are also a very real issue for business owners, especially those who are married and both spouses...
