Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Why Pay You If Nothing Changes
Why Pay You If Nothing Changes? Hi, everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Why do I need to pay you to be around you so my life stays the same? Yeah, thinking not. However, what can you bring to our relationship where I can say, ooh, I like it, we have similar values, but you're playing that part of the game higher than I am, I wanna learn from you, I wanna be around you. Okay, and we all have that. We all have it in our particular way. That's why it's so important for you to understand who your everyday Jess is, and who you are to everyday Jess, okay? Who am I? Who are you? How can you, what do you bring to the table that is admirable about you that I wanna be around? And what's admirable about me that you would want to be around? Does that make sense? Okay, you can only serve the people to the greatest extent that you admire the most. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-You're a Interruption Until You Deliver Value
You’re a Interruption Until You Deliver Value 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 an interruption to your client's day until you bring them value, okay? Like, if you're worried, like, oh, cold calling, I don't know, will they not like it if I cold call? They're not, they're gonna hate it until you give them value. Yeah, but those emails are kind of intrusive, do I really wanna send them? You're right, if they suck, you're an interruption to their day. Yeah, but my social media, you're right, if you're boring, you're gonna have a boring business. If you don't bring them value, you are an interruption to their day. So the key is, how do we bring them value, right? There's a very specific and scientific way that you can do that. And the way that you do that is you give them something to admire about you, okay? Think about it, who are the people that you spend your time around? Who are the people that inspire you, okay? They're people that you think will make your life or business better by being around them. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Failure Can Be Fuel for Growth
Failure Can Be Fuel for Growth Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. That's how you find out what you're all about. But that's okay, you don't have to succeed at everything. As a matter of fact, failing at times is part of the growth and will endear you to your audience even more because now you're relatable. You know, Oprah's audience rises when she had her show. It would increase and decrease with her weight. When she was heavier, she had a higher audience. When she would lose weight, it would go down a bit. She was more relatable when she was struggling with her weight to the average person. How many of you in here are a billionaire? Yeah, right, none of us. So it's hard to relate to her on that. But how many of us have ever struggled with our weight? All of us, like, wow, she struggles with her weight? Now I want to listen. How does that happen?

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The Bigger You Grow the Bigger the Challenges
The Bigger You Grow, the Bigger the Challenges Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. When you get into performance, it's going to start to challenge and push on the edges of your belief systems. Your BS, if I may, right? And your BS, you're gonna have to deal with. And so what we need are some strategies in order to deal with that as it comes up. Because as Peter said, you know, as you grow, your problems will grow with you. So we're not playing a game where our problems get smaller. We're playing the game of where we get bigger. We have to continuously be bigger than the problem, become bigger than the problems that we have. Your ability to be successful in your business is how many problems can you and or your team or your systems or your technology or your software or your processes can handle. You will not rise to the level of your goals. You will sink to the level of your systems. Okay? That's where you're headed. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

Potential to Performance: Bigger Growth, Bigger Challenges Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. When we're learning something but we haven't tried anything yet, We're unlimited, right? What's our potential? Unlimited, we could do anything, right? And we could do no wrong, everything is right, every idea is brilliant, right? Don't most bad ideas start out as a good one? Right? Don't they? Like, wow, that was a really bad idea. Like, but before it was like, that was amazing, that was really good, right? And so in potential, you could do no wrong, you're a legend. In performance though, there's a risk. And one of the things that I learned a long time ago was that the two toughest types of fears that you will deal with in your life. Number two is the fear of failure. Number one is the fear of success. Well, wait a minute, if I knock this campaign out of the park, I'll be expected to do that every single time. If I get this one right, all of a sudden you're going to want to hold me accountable. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Why Slowing Down Speeds Up Growth
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 about systems. A true system is when an activity—or group of activities—can run without your direct involvement. That’s when you know you've built something sustainable. Remember back in the discovery process, we said every job and every industry has its own personality? Over time, each role in your business starts to take on its own rhythm and identity. That’s a good thing—it’s the sign of a maturing company. By nature, systems are structured, scheduled, predictable, and reliable. And when those systems are in place, the pace of your business may begin to slow—but don’t mistake that for a problem. It's actually a sign of stability. Just like you needed patience with yourself during earlier growth stages, now it's time to be patient with your team. Stay the course. The payoff is coming.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Tangibles Intangibles and Targeted Growth
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 about benchmarking. The tangible side of your business—your numbers—make up about 28% of its value. When you benchmark, you're comparing your financials to the industry averages. Why? Because it gives you clarity. It gives you a target. Whether or not your goal is to be number one in your industry, you need to know what the top looks like—and how far you are from it. Benchmarking helps you understand your competition, and understanding is the first step to outperforming or even eliminating that competition. Now, let’s move to the intangible side—your people. You don’t benchmark individuals—you benchmark the positions. You define the prototype for each role in your business, using your discovery org chart. What does the ideal salesperson look like? The ideal receptionist, marketer, accountant? What qualities, skills, and behaviors are essential? Benchmarking helps you align every role with excellence, creating a high-performing, well-targeted organization. Like and follow this podcast to learn more.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Why We Choose Starbucks The Power of Systems Over Price
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Consider this: the average Starbucks customer, during a 20-day work month, visits Starbucks 18 times. That same customer often drives past multiple other vendors offering similar coffee for a fraction of the price—sometimes less than a dollar. So why do they still choose Starbucks? It’s not just the coffee—it’s the system. Starbucks isn’t dependent on a charismatic owner or a one-time promotion. Their success is built on consistency, predictability, and an experience that customers trust—every single time. When your business reaches this stage—where systems are the star—your sales start to grow exponentially. You're no longer selling just a product or service; you're delivering a reliable experience. At this point, you are unfairly rewarded—in the best way. All the effort you've invested up to now starts to pay off repeatedly. And for the first time, you can seriously begin to consider expansion.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Stage 4 When Your Business Starts to Breathe Without You
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You’ll know you’ve entered Stage 4 when every role in your business begins to take on a life of its own. Things start happening without your direct involvement. The pace of the business slows down—but in a good way. You might walk into the office and find it calm, almost quiet. That’s not a bad sign—it’s a sign of growing efficiency. This is a big shift from the hustle of Stages 1 and 2. It’s not that your business is moving slower; it’s that it’s moving smoother. Early in Stage 4, the focus turns inward. You’re building systems, processes, and internal structure. Think of it like teaching a child to ride a bike—you’re still right there with your hand on the seat, just in case. During this time, your energy is focused on your internal client—your employees. Because of that, your sales might dip slightly—but that’s normal and expected. You're laying the foundation for sustainable growth. Like and follow this podcast to learn more. I’m Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Stage 2 Where Most Businesses Live And How to Thrive There
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. As your business develops, you need to focus on improving the quality of your product or service and building your credentials. While sales remain important—especially early on to keep the cash flowing—your major focus should be developing your core competency. Now, every stage of business has three phases: early, mid, and late. I bring this up because Stage 2 is where most businesses spend the bulk of their time—even the Rolling Stones are still in Stage 2, just in the late phase. In the early part of Stage 2, the focus is quality. If you just opened a pizzeria or deli, for example, your top priority should be making the best food possible. That’s what gets people talking—and coming back. Pricing and discounts matter less than creating a product people love. As you move into mid-Stage 2, start building your brand. Gather testimonials, sharpen your skills, earn credentials, and keep raising your standards. Quality remains key—it’s just now reinforced by credibility and brand trust.

It’s often said that being a business owner is the toughest and loneliest job out there—and there’s truth to that. But it doesn’t have to be. What makes it feel tough and lonely?

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The Sexy Side of Systems How to Scale to 7 Figures in 3 Years
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. How do you grow your business from startup to seven figures in just three years? It might sound like a huge leap, but it’s absolutely possible—and it comes down to one thing: alignment. You need to synchronize your daily, effective actions with your long-term, big-picture goals. Your efficiency is a direct result of how aligned you are with your strategic plan. Keep it simple. Keep it structured. Keep it systematic. Earlier, I mentioned that planning tools—like spreadsheets and weekly meetings—will become some of the sexiest things you do in business. I’ll admit, when I first heard that, I cringed. That’s not what I pictured when I thought about building a business. But now? I look forward to them. Not because I love spreadsheets, but because I love the results that come from being organized, structured, and system-driven. Like and follow this podcast to learn more.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. When you pair a consistent, high-quality system with a strong customer experience, you create something powerful—a deeper connection with your clients. That connection allows you to serve at a higher level and positions your business as a leader in your field. And when that happens, results follow—fast. In the success cycle, your energy should be channeled toward achievement. Spend just 10% of your time identifying the challenge or opportunity, and 90% focusing on solving it. When your attention is locked in on the outcome, solution, and result, you'll move through the success cycle quickly and effectively. Like and follow this podcast to learn more.

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 Business Discovery Process, there are three core areas you need to uncover: First, your behaviors—what we refer to as DISC—reveal how you do what you do. Second, your values—these are the why behind your actions, your motivators and priorities. And third, your attributes—they show what you are willing and able to do. The goal is to identify both your strengths and blind spots in each of these areas. Once you do, align them with your company’s mission, vision, values, and purpose. That’s when true organizational alignment begins. Like and follow this podcast to learn more. I’m Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. As we dive into Stage One and explore what’s required, you’ll see the power tools for where your focus should be at each phase. One of the earliest and most important tools is assessment. You need to understand your identity—where you stand at any given moment—and what you bring to the table. But it’s not just about you. You’ll also assess everyone in your company, looking at their behavior styles, value hierarchies, and key attributes. With those insights, you’ll be able to put the right people in the right roles, doing the right tasks. While we assess people early on, the benchmarking of the business and roles comes later.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Why Emotion Drives Every Business Decision
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO—just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Even if you process things logically or are a numbers person, your decisions start with emotion. You’ve probably heard it said: we buy on emotion and then rationalize with logic. And it’s true. Humans have six basic categories of motivators. When making a decision—whether to buy, act, or not—you go through a mental checklist based on these motivators, ranked in a hierarchy. If a choice doesn’t satisfy your highest values, or worse, triggers your lowest values, it’s unlikely you’ll make that decision. In other words, your emotional values either pull you toward something or push you away. Like and follow this podcast to learn more. I’m Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. To those of you who are reading this–that had ever–ever got a gift that says “some assembly required” and what have you done? This is how you’ve tried to put it together in the past: you’ve got this model airplane or bicycle, and here’s what you did. You did the I part, you got it and you said “wow! This is really great” thank you so much for getting me this, it’s exactly what I want it and then you try to implement a systems, I’ll pull everything out of the box, I’ll lay all my tools around and I’ll put myself in the shop and then step by step I’ll put this thing together. And then you’ll start to realize you’ve got more parts lying around as you get closer and closer than you should have, and you’ll realize this isn’t going so well. So, I’ve got to tighten the screws up a little bit more and I’ve got to maybe get a better screwdriver, you’ll try all of a sudden raise the quality of what you're doing and then when you realize that the things should be built in 20 minutes, you’ve been doing it for 2 hours, you’re not half way through, everyone else is wondering where is this great creation. It’s only then that you say, “maybe I should read the instructions”. And that’s the way most people try to build a business. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Coach vs. Consultant Know the Difference Pt. 2
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. The advisor is somebody who is probably the most important person in a room, they’re great at networking and they can marshall and channel all the resources necessary to get something done, they’re a generalist, they’re a jack of all trades and they’re good at all of them, they’re not like a master of none they’re actually very good at all of them. It’s the hardest one to become actually, advisor and then there’s a mentor. And the mentor is somebody who’s done something successful and now they're just gonna walk, they’re gonna say to that person “listen follow my footsteps it works for me and I can show you the way through”. So, in today’s age you're looking for one of those four, right? So if I’m going to lose weight, I wanna get in shape, I’m actually looking for a consultant, a personal trainer. You know I might coach so they could--how you feel about me in fat not in shape, oh I feel like (shit) and I wanna get better shape, okay good now I’m gonna turn consultant on you and I’m gonna say “this many exercises, this many reps and you got to--you got to pound them out, that’s a consultant”, right? So it depends on what you’re going for is what you’ll seek out and how much you know, how much you’ll participate as their client. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Coach vs. Consultant Know the Difference Pt. 1
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 beginning it was enough to say you were a coach, hey I’m a coach, wow that’s awesome, then it was I’m a life or business coach.Then I’m a life coach and I’ve got all this segmentation and so now, you know it’s a very mature industry and each industry has niches, that’s how you know, when there are niches, you’ve got a mature industry, coaching is there. But coaching you know in what you describe people aren’t hiring a coach because they want an expert. As a matter of fact the coaches are least likely of the four disciplines to be an expert you--there's a coach, there’s a consultant, there’s an advisor and there’s a mentor, okay? And there are four distinct skill sets, four distinct market place opportunities or in services that you provide, coaches are there to help you process through the core issues of what is leading to whatever your experience is right now.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-3 Communication Zones in Your Body
3 Communication Zones in Your Body Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Communication zones in your body. They're higher, middle, lower. That's it, right? Think collarbone, think waist, right? So higher, middle, lower. And that's how people will communicate. So I'll demonstrate and then we're gonna do it together. So higher is from your shoulders upward, right? So somebody is what we would call a visual person. They are higher, faster, louder communicator. The reason why they're, and when you see their gestures, their hands are above their shoulders and they talk like this and they're like, hey, come on up front. They don't say, come to the front there, hey, come on. Right, they're making all these gestures way up here. And you're 50 feet away saying, oh my God.

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-We Create a World Around us that Matches How we Define Ourselves
We create a world around us that matches how we define ourselves Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. People are the people we surround ourselves with the most. And here's what I mean, okay? I don't wanna scare you with that photo. We, as people, the way we're wired, we're kind of like that projector right there. Whatever we put on the inside of that projector shows up on the screen. We define ourselves a certain way, okay? We define ourselves a certain way, and based on that definition, we create a world around us that matches how we define ourselves, okay? And how you do anything is how you do everything. So once I can understand a little bit about your style, I can predict a lot about your life. If I can predict a lot about your life, I can find a lot of things in common. If I can find a lot of things in common, I know how I can communicate with you, build rapport and ultimately how to have impact in your life, okay? Does that thesis sound reasonable?
