Video: How do you keep yourself and your teams on the path?

It is challenging for business owners, entrepreneurs, and CEOs to keep themselves and their teams pulling in the same direction. The analogy I use is that it is like keeping everyone on a well-defined path. In this video I share on yearly and quarerly goal setting, along with weekly meetings to keep you and your teams on the path while I literally in this video stray off the path.

Making An Impact

I am committed to making positive change for people. I do my work with the hope that I am making a difference, but like many leaders I know never really know if I have made an impact. I was thrilled and honored to receive an email message recently from Rad Tantra in Indonesia. This extraordinary young man was inspired by my podcast interview with Dan Lok. I am extremely grateful that Rad has kindly given me permission to share his letter.

How can you have an impact like Rad has created in his community?
