Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

Today’s episode with Jackson Millan is a great look into how he’s able to set up a business so we can be doing more of what’s fun and important. We all have this pull-back effect and let our minds wander when we are away from home. We need to figure out how to be the operators of the business, and one of the things that stood out for us was that we loved Jackon’s process with marketing, sales, delivery, and growth.  Marketing is only one piece of the puzzle of a successful business. We’ve figured out how to systemize marketing, but we still feel like we are stuck in the delivery elements of it. Jackson specializes in wealth creation for business owners and you’ll hear how he creates this for his clients, his F4 framework to get you there, how he prepared to take his year-long trip traveling to places where others couldn’t go, the importance of outsourcing, and how to look at your long term game plan to achieve what you really want. He’s got a lot of great frameworks which will get you thinking, no matter how big or small your business is currently. After you’ve listened, be sure to check out our conversations with David Jenyns, the master of systemizing, and Moe Abbas to help you find the right folks so you can scale your business and focus on your genius.    “We all have the ability to create a business that allows us the financial means to support whatever it is that we want.” - Jackson Millan   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to take your business from relying on you as the expert technician to one where your team handles it the same, if not better Dealing with the death of the ego More discussion about brussel sprouts!

Bob Burg is the author of quite a few books, notably The Go Giver series, which is one of the very early ones we still reference, and it’s such a smooth read as it’s told in a story form. Being open to receiving is probably one of the things most people struggle with, and this came up in our conversation today as there’s this feeling that we want to constantly give value. For anyone who wants to give non-stop, the receiving does tend to make you feel guilty, so you need to be open to receiving.  Bob explains how to not only be open to receiving, but mastering your emotions an having empathy, even if you cannot completely relate to another’s situation, as well as letting go of the need to be right, communicating with tact and setting up a proper frame ahead of time so that the results of what you do will be beneficial and lead others to  react in a positive light. After you’ve listened, go check out our conversations with Nir Eyal and Brian Kurtz for more insight into how to build upon positive habits and promote values that are important to your life and business.  “Money is an echo of value. It’s the thunder to value’s lightning which means that the value must be the focus and the money you receive is a natural result of the value you are providing.” - Bob Burg   Some Topics We Discussed Include: How to address the separation of how we communicate online What to do if you feel like you are being taken advantage of in business Being congruent in your giving and staying true to your values Mastering your emotions How to let go of the need to be right all the time while also influencing others A coffee shop story you can learn from to set up your matrix The importance of communicating with tact   Resources From Bob Burg: Burg.com/books Go Giver Influencer  Bob Burg on YouTube Adversaries Into Allies   References and Links Mentioned: Think Again by Adam Grant Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!
