EP347: Where Can You Improve Your Business? Have an 'It's Not Good Enough' Meeting.

Alex was inspired by last week's conversation with Jason Palliser on how to "raise the standard" by having an 'It's not good enough' meeting, and shares what impact having this type of meeting has had. Key Takeaways: Success is when you add value to yourself and significance is when you add value to others. You have to enjoy your ride to success. It's not about the destination. Set an intention for yourself and put the work in. Keep going until you make it. Encourage excellence in your company culture so that team members can come to you when they see ways to be more efficient. One of Alex's team members noticed some inconsistencies when customers go to their online website and brought it to Alex's attention.
