How to Get a Vision for Your Business (The Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast)
Vision is so important for business….and for life.
Through great tragedy, I was inspired to reflect on the very idea of who I had become professionally. I thought I had it dialed in before only to realize I had lost a sense of who I was, clouded by my past successes and failures. Thankfully, my commitment to learn and grow from that experience resulted in me becoming an industry influencer, gaining the respect of my peers and the eye of my ideal clients. And this allowed me to create a vision like I never had before.
I was fortunate to be invited onto the Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast with Paul Edwards recently. During our conversation, I was able to share the importance of having a vision for your business, nonprofit, ministry or career.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Re-release: Achieving a Lean Culture and Habit of Exsellence with Robert Valentino
Yesterday was Memorial Day. And as I considered those who sacrificed their lives for us, I couldn’t help but think of the time I shared with Robert Valentino. I didn’t know Robert was a former US Army Ranger until we were already recording and while that was surprising enough, the story he told me of one of his best friends losing his life in battle shocked me like never before.
Check out this re-release of an early episode of the Exsellence Mindset podcast. It was a great one!
——————–
Robert Valentino is a Lean Six Sigma consultant and a former US Army Ranger. The experiences, skills, and mindset he acquired during his time in the military are related to Lean Six Sigma. Lean Six Sigma is a life and business approach that involves team effort to improve performance and achieve excellence.
In this podcast, Robert discusses the culture in the military and how it applies to life and in business. He believes that servant leadership, perseverance, going beyond your threshold, trust in your team, and adding value are the true keys to achieving success and excellence.

Hint: they are great opportunities if we deal with them appropriately!
