#367: Do, Document, Delegate with Chris Ronzio
If your goal is to grow your business, Trainual Founder and CEO Chris Ronzio—who successfully grew his own company by 500% in just one year—has some advice: If you want to do something differently tomorrow, you’ve got to teach someone else what you’re doing today. In other words, you’ve got to learn how to delegate responsibilities—but that’s tough to do if you never take the time to clearly document how you do the things you do.

Luckily, there are four behaviors you can adopt right now that can help put you on a more successful—and likely more profitable—leadership path. And th

One of the most common misconceptions we all have about leadership is that it’s the same thing as authority, according to lead pastor of North Point Community Church, Clay Scroggins. During his 10-year tenure at the Alpharetta, GA-based megachurch, Clay has learned that nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, he has come to the conclusion that the real currency of leadership has nothing at all to do with being in charge but rather with influence. And that’s really great news, because e

Here at the EntreLeadership Podcast headquarters, that’s incredible news. We LOVE change—especially when it comes to helping you transform yourself and your business.

In part two of our interview, Dr. Michael Gervais dives deeper into the fascinating connection between our mental state and our performance—or as he calls it, “our thinking and our doing.” While it is possible to transform an anxious, unorganized mind into one that is highly disciplined and focused on the moment, there isn’t a quick fix or an easy hack. It’s takes commitment, relentless energy, and a willingness to get way outside your comfort zone. Join us to find out what Dr. Gervais says is t
#236: Dr. Michael Gervais—The Mental Game, Part 1
You could say that high-performance psychologist Dr. Michael Gervais is in the business of being the best—or at least his clients are.

When it comes to crushing your competition, marketing strategist Andy Cunningham says that, above all else, you need to be one thing: authentic. That advice is as true today as it was when she helped Steve Jobs launch the original Macintosh once upon a time. But, the cofounder and president of Cunningham Collective warns, that’s pretty much impossible to do without first decoding your company’s DNA. It’s that information—who you are and why you matter—that helps you position your brand successfu

According to Chick-fil-A Vice President of High Performance Leadership and best-selling author Mark Miller, less is definitely not more when it comes to the number of leaders in your organization.

Hope is not an adequate strategy for building a business, Mark explains, but creating
