This book by Marshall Goldsmith focuses on helping successful individuals recognize and change the behavioral habits that are holding them back from achieving even greater success. Goldsmith identifies 20 common bad habits, such as speaking when angry or adding too much value, and provides a systematic approach to changing these behaviors. He emphasizes that it is not technical skills but behavioral changes that separate the great from the rest. The book offers practical advice on how to eliminate these dysfunctions and improve interpersonal relationships, which is crucial for advancing in one's career and personal life.
The book discusses the benefits of prioritizing a single task and provides strategies for overcoming distractions, building productive habits, and maintaining focus. It challenges common productivity myths such as multitasking and the idea of a balanced life, and introduces the 'Focusing Question': 'What's the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?' The authors also discuss time blocking, habit-building, and aligning short-term actions with long-term goals to achieve success in various aspects of life[1][3][5].
In 'Good to Great,' Jim Collins and his research team investigate why some companies achieve long-term greatness while others do not. The book identifies key concepts such as Level 5 Leadership, the Hedgehog Concept, a Culture of Discipline, and the Flywheel Effect. These principles are derived from a comprehensive study comparing companies that made the leap to greatness with those that did not. The research highlights that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance but rather a result of conscious choice and discipline. The book provides practical insights and case studies to help businesses and leaders understand and apply these principles to achieve sustained greatness.
If you’re an advisor who’s building your business, there’s a very good chance you’ve made some grueling sacrifices in return for growth…
Late nights in the office, working on the weekends, and missing important time with family, to name just a few.
It may feel like the only way to grow is to grind; to sacrifice your freedom. That’s what I call the “entrepreneurial lie.” But I promise, there’s a better way. One where you work less, and your business continues to grow.
Today’s guest, Triad member Anthony Pellegrino, is the living proof. Anthony’s business, Goldstone Financial Group, was doing $91M in assets when he started working with Triad. The problem was that he was completely burned out, mentally exhausted, and he was missing life’s most important moments with his wife and kids.
In today’s episode, you’ll hear how Anthony completely shifted his mindset around growth and repositioned the business so it didn’t rely on him to scale.
