Tune in to gain insights on some practical tips on finding your why, questions to ask yourself and different methods for staying connected with it over time so that you can continue to live in alignment with your values and passions.

  • How over analysing things can stop growth in its tracks (00:57)
  • Doing what you want without justifying to others (02:53)

042: Are You Truly Prepared to Do What It Takes to Provide for Your Family?

Some people would do anything for their families. They would make any sacrifice to ensure the well-being of their family members and to provide at the highest level. But have you ever stopped to ask your family what provision means to them?  What do they truly want?

Running a business is no easy task, and it can require a lot of sacrifices. From long hours and hard work to financial commitments, there are sacrifices that you will have to make to keep your business running smoothly. 

But what if your business is no longer providing for your family? Would you be willing to take a step back to redesign your business to be better suited to your families wants and needs? 

I share the questions you can ask yourself so you can assess your current direction.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL FIND OUT…

  • Is your business truly providing? (00:00)
  • Are you prepared to tear down your business and start again? (02:17)
  • The first question to ask yourself to assess your current business situation (03:08)
  • What does provision mean to your family? (3:29)
  • How the measurement of success may differ between family members (4:09)
  • Are you willing to do whatever it takes to provide for your family? (4:56)
  • The questions you need to ask yourself – and truthfully answer (5:19)

040: The Million Dollar Business Question

Business success is often defined as the ability to generate a large profit in a short amount of time. But are financial metrics all you should be measuring?

In this episode, I talk about the million-dollar business question and how it can change your business. Success is generally measured by the ability to generate a large profit. But profit alone doesn’t tell the full story, and it can be challenging to measure. 

Success is more than just the financial metrics of making money or hitting certain numbers. It’s about building a sustainable business that can impact the world and make a real difference in people’s lives. 

If success was measured in terms of the legacy you are leaving behind, what lasting value would you be creating through your business? It could mean creating innovative products, making technological breakthroughs, or providing life-changing services to your customers.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL FIND OUT…

  • How fear of failure can stop your business from growing (00:32)
  • The definition of business success (01:58)
  • How to meet your definition of business success (04:15)

039: The 4 Stages Of The Entrepreneurial Journey

A successful entrepreneurial journey entails going through various levels and withstanding every challenge that comes with it.

Advancing from one level to the next requires entrepreneurs to master certain skills to achieve both business and financial success. In this particular episode, Carl shares the 4 stages of the entrepreneurial journey and what it takes to master each one.

With over 20 years of experience of being in business, Carl noticed that every time a business owner enters a new level, there is a need to use old skills and resources and develop new ones to effectively pass a specific stage. 

Keep in mind that most business owners get stuck or don’t progress to the next stage because they lack strategies to create true wealth. To reach success in business, you need to think about where you are right now in your entrepreneurial journey and evaluate how you can scale to the next level.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL FIND OUT…

  • What it means to be in the pre-level of business (03:15)
  • The Self-employed level and how to master it (03:50)
  • How to effectively operate the business through the Manager Level (05:37)
