Welcome to my interview with Saul Edmonds on his Grow Your Business Podcast. Our conversation started with the prevalence of alcoholism and addiction in the general population and with entrepreneurs. I reminded Saul and his listeners that if you struggle with alcoholism or addiction, there is hope and that none of us get clean and sober alone.
Join Patrick Lonergan as we help entrepreneurs create an amazing business and life on Patrick’s Vital Strategies Podcast. We had a wide ranging conversation covering these critical challenges that entrepreneurs face:
Three Ideas for Next-Level Growth
I enjoyed my interview with Brandon Gano on his Harmonious at Lunch Podcast. We both believe in the importance of strategic planning for business growth. In our interview, I emphasized the need for entrepreneurs to step back from the day-to-day operations of their business and think about the bigger picture. I recommend using a one-page strategic plan and holding quarterly planning sessions to set clear goals and track progress. We also discussed the importance of trust within a team and the need to address the biggest challenges facing the business. I reminded listeners that I offer coaching and facilitation services to help entrepreneurs implement these strategies. Listeners are encouraged to take action and implement at least one idea from the episode to accelerate their business growth in the next 90 days.
A gift to the recovery community are the more than 250 episodes of Hard Knox Talks that Daniel Hearn has created. It is a testament to what can be achieved in sobriety and in life, by focusing on one area and sticking to it. I was fortunate to be interviewed by Daniel and his wife Donna, as we discussed my journey into alcoholism, business, recovery, and personal growth.
I love the title of Michael Alisasis podcast: “Life Sober and Shit.” It captures what it’s like to be in recovery.
In our interview, I share my journey to sobriety, which began with the help of a coach who encouraged me to attend 12-step recovery meetings. I describe my first meeting and the challenges I faced in the early days of sobriety. I emphasize the importance of personal growth and ongoing work in recovery. I also discusses the connection between sobriety and success, highlighting the need for internal change and self-discovery. The conversation concludes with me offering advice for those seeking sobriety and the importance of finding a supportive community.
