What the podcast will teach you:

●       How Brett ran a full-day event for six entrepreneurs to help them get clarity in their personal lives, their businesses, and their leadership teams before their annual planning

●       Why you should conduct personal offsites on a quarterly basis at a minimum, just as you should be doing for your leadership team

●       Why it is easy to get stuck in a “treading water” mode and in a habit of responding to everything, and why a personal offsite with minimal distractions and technology is the key to breaking out

●       Why the first, most important step in a successful personal offsite is dumping all the mental clutter from your brain by spending time writing it all down

●       Why you should journal positive thoughts and gratitude after you have dumped your mental clutter, and how it helps you get into the right mindset

●       What steps to take to create a “wheel of life” to grade yourself in each of the areas of your life that matter to you, and how it helps you identify areas where your life is out of balance

●       What other activities you can do to help you better achieve personal clarity and identify the things that are important to you

●       How to get clarity in your company, whether your team is fully engaged in the company’s vision and values, and what adjustments can be made to improve the company’s overall health

●       How to evaluate the health of your leadership team and identify the steps you can take to strengthen your leadership team, both individually and as a team

●       What Brett’s “fire and rehire” tool is and how it can help you identify whether you have the right people in the right seats on your leadership team
