Letting go is one of the hardest things that entrepreneurs have to do when they’re ready to scale their business. But if you’re to create a better business, you need to be able to take your hand off of the steering wheel and bring in people who will take your business to the next level. However, our collective experience as entrepreneurs has taught us that this is something that’s easier said than done. There is something about being in the middle of action. We crave for that dopamine hit of getting things done and getting results. What if we could keep that reward system going on without necessarily being in the weeds all the time? In this episode, JourneyTEAM CEO Brian Tenney tells us how to do that by re-shifting and refocusing where we’re getting that reward. Join this conversation and learn the way toward a better business without headaches!

Servant leaders are great. In a lot of ways, they make the world go ‘round. But servant leaders are also human beings. As we mature in our leadership journeys, there comes a time when we need to take steps toward being intentional about how we spend our time.

It may sound very simple, but that’s precisely what makes it so effective. Diana uses these three buckets to guide her every time she is faced with a decision to spend her time on something or someone. Any one of us can apply this 3-bucket concept. Join in and learn how you can possibly create yours!
