Hiring a good assistant can almost double your productivity.  A good assistant is someone who wants to support you like crazy and that person is going to want clarity as to what that actually means. Your assistant needs to have a documented position with clear expectations to succeed.  A lack of explicit expectations equals a lack of confidence in the role.  Provide your assistant with clarity and they will charge forward with momentum. 

If you're running a business, listen up, building a company on an unstable foundation will leave you exposed and unprotected. The new world of DIY legal services online is exposing entrepreneurs to a host of liabilities. A lot of people don't take care of the legal issues and challenges associated with starting a corporation for fear of the expense, some attorneys out there are taking advantage of the rush of entrepreneurs wanting to start a corporation and are overcharging for their services, avoid them. Find a good attorney, good legal advice is worth your money and it may not cost as much as you might think. I want to make sure you're building only on a solid foundation and will be protected moving forward.

When you think negative thoughts about yourself, who is really talking? Is it you or is it somebody else? For most people, what they were taught about themselves as children, becomes the baggage they carry around through life.  As an entrepreneur you are incredibly important to the people on your team,  the comments you make influence them and become a part of their inner voice.   If you unload your frustration, irritation & anger on your team you shatter their confidence.  I tell my team how much confidence I have in them and build them up! You have an incredible impact on those who choose to work with you and if you want to honor the impact you create as an entrepreneur you need to remember that you help create your team's inner voice. 

In the deep end of the pool you can't touch the bottom, you must be constantly active, alert & aware.  I've always committed that I would be the guy who owns the deep end of the pool.  I'm obsessed with hydration, breathing, nutrition and moving my body in the right ways.  I don't ever want to lose my intensity and my presence in my company, or my personal life.  Is your company growing the way you would like? Are your actions moving your forward and having the desired effect?  If the answers are no, look at how you are taking care of yourself, how long can you keep treading water in the deep end? 

Why have a daily huddle? What may seem like a waste of precious time to begin with, will actually save you so much time throughout your day.  The huddle connects everyone and creates accountability within your team, if you can commit to a daily huddle you'll notice the distractions and breaks in your momentum will go down dramatically.  Emily Hirsh is a client of mine, she runs an incredibly successful business and is an incredible Entrepreneur and Huntress.  Her business has almost doubled in size since working with me and she attributes a huge amount of that growth to the Charfen Cadence and the systems in our Billionaire Code program. 

If you're building a team the success of the company is not all on you. As a leader, the success of the company relies on your ability to lead a team.  This means to have them join together as a cohesive unit that protects and helps each other. Leadership is what either makes a company grow or stagnate and fade.

The seven figure transition is tough! It can be so difficult because you can't keep running your business in the same way you always have.  If you try to go through the seven figure transition alone it will chew you up and spit you out. The element of the business that has to transition the most is you, the entrepreneur.

I don't believe in the concept of 'one size fits all' it never works in real life and when it comes to building a team, it simply doesn't exist. Follow your own path and see how easy it can be to determine and eliminate your pain points by finding the right people for your team.  Stop trying to use somebody else's system to build YOUR business.
