Ignorance grows successful businesses 11:51

Welcome to the Founderholic podcast! I’m Chris Folayan, and today we’re diving into a concept that may surprise you—why ignorance is key to growing a successful business. We’ve all heard the saying, “the customer is always right,” and by now, you’ve probably realized that’s not always the case. But here’s the twist: the business isn’t always right either. So, what’s the solution when neither side has all the answers? The answer lies in embracing ignorance—specifically, understanding what you don’t know from both the customer’s and the business’s perspectives. In this episode, we’ll explore how asking yourself “W.H.Y.” (What Have You _______?) can unlock valuable insights and lead to smarter decisions. Tune in as we unpack this powerful approach to building a successful company by staying curious and humble, even in the face of uncertainty.…

Top 10 Things Entrepreneurs and Founders Forget To Remember Building a company is a wild ride, and even the most seasoned entrepreneurs can overlook crucial aspects in the heat of the moment. Here are 10 often-forgotten gems that can make your journey smoother and your business stronger: 1. Delegate with Trust: Don't be a one-person show. Hire and empower people you trust, even if it means starting with consultants first. Their expertise and fresh perspectives can be game-changers. 2. Know Your Customers, Not Just Numbers: Marketing isn't just about sales tactics, it's about understanding your customers' needs and desires. Build genuine connections and tailor your offerings to their specific pain points. 3. Build Systems, Not Sacrifices: Ditch the hourly hustle. Leverage automation and processes to scale your business without burning yourself out. Time is your most valuable asset, invest it wisely. 4. Think Marathon, Not Sprint: Don't get caught up in the instant gratification trap. Plan for long-term growth, prioritize sustainability, and build a foundation for lasting success. 5. Meaning Makes Magic: Employees who feel valued and connected to a bigger purpose are more engaged and productive. Foster a culture of meaning, where everyone contributes to a shared vision. 6. Embrace the Pivot: Be ready to adapt and evolve. The world is dynamic, so stay nimble, listen to your customers, and be prepared to pivot your strategy when needed. 7. Learn from Every Fall: Adversity is inevitable, but it's also a powerful teacher. Embrace challenges as learning opportunities, analyze your mistakes, and bounce back stronger. 8. Celebrate Every Milestone: Don't wait for the big finish line. Acknowledge and celebrate every small win, from landing a new client to achieving a daily sales goal. These victories keep your team motivated and momentum going. 9. Take Calculated Risks: Don't be afraid to take bold, well-informed bets. Every successful company took risks early on, so encourage calculated innovation and experimentation within your organization. 10. Build Your Network: Surround yourself with supportive people who genuinely want you to succeed. Network with mentors, advisors, and fellow entrepreneurs. Their guidance and connections can be invaluable. www.Founderholic.com / www.FounderCentered.com / www.ReadySetCEO.Fun…

Self-Talk A Founders Superpower 14:33

2 years ago14:33

14:33

The impact of what we say to ourselves, also known as self-talk, is a fascinating and well-researched area. Here's a dive into the influence it has on ourselves and those around us: Impact on ourselves: Mental and emotional well-being: Positive self-talk can boost our mood, self-esteem, and resilience. It can act as a buffer against stress and anxiety, and even contribute to better physical health. Conversely, negative self-talk can fuel feelings of worthlessness, doubt, and depression. It can hinder our motivation, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Performance and achievement: Studies have shown that positive self-talk can enhance performance in various domains, from academics and sports to professional endeavors. Athletes who engage in self-affirmations before competitions tend to perform better than those who don't. Similarly, students who use positive self-talk strategies have been found to achieve higher grades. Behavior and choices: Our inner dialogue shapes our actions and choices. When we tell ourselves we can't do something, we're more likely to avoid it. Conversely, positive self-talk can empower us to take risks, persevere through challenges, and reach our goals. Impact on others: Relationships: The way we talk to ourselves often spills over into how we interact with others. Positive self-talk fosters a more optimistic and confident demeanor, making us more approachable and attracting positive relationships. On the other hand, negative self-talk can breed negativity and defensiveness, damaging our relationships with loved ones and colleagues. Communication: Our self-talk influences how we communicate with others. When we're filled with self-doubt, our communication might become hesitant and apologetic. Conversely, positive self-talk can lead to more assertive and confident communication, fostering clearer understanding and stronger connections. Leadership: In leadership roles, positive self-talk can inspire and motivate others. Leaders who believe in themselves and their abilities are more likely to inspire confidence and trust in their team. Conversely, negative self-talk can create a ripple effect of doubt and negativity, hindering team performance and morale. Here are some resources for further exploration: Book: "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy Article: "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey Website: The Power of Positive Thinking: https://positivepsychologyprogram.com/positive-thinking/ Remember, developing a positive self-talk habit takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself, practice mindfulness, and challenge negative thoughts with realistic and encouraging affirmations. Your inner voice has immense power, so choose your words wisely! www.Founderholic.com / www.FounderCentered.com / www.ReadySetCEO.Fun…
