Tell me if this sounds familiar.
You planned a Monday meeting, but the time arrives and you’re busy or tired, and you decide to reschedule for Tuesday. On Tuesday, something important comes up, so you reschedule for the next day. Before you know it, Friday rolls around and you still have not had that meeting, so you postpone it until the following Monday.
The cycle continues, until you actively decide that enough is enough, and you’re going to make that meeting a priority.
How do you inspire and empower your people to help you challenge the status quo and get your business to the next level?
If you want to peek into the mind of a CEO whose company has skyrocketed to the top of its industry, you’re going to want to listen in on this episode with Marc Bodner, CEO of L&R Distributors.

I’m excited to introduce our guest this week, and my long-time friend, Zacharia Waxler.

In this episode, Zacharia drills down into no-nonsense business advice. Zacharia discusses the importance of knowing your data to the success of your business, demystifies the roles of accountant, bookkeeper, controller, and CFO, and shares the number one way to prevent cash flow issues. All in all, an ultra-practical, jam-packed interview!

As business owners, how do we manage our growth? How do we scale our company? How do we know what to focus on in order to get our business to the next level? I can think of no one better suited to answer these questions than Clate Mask, the CEO and Cofounder of Keap, formerly Infusionsoft.
Clate is recognized as a visionary leader in the small business community, and his multimillion-dollar company is one of the fastest-growing in the United States. In this interview, he identifies five critical stages of business growth and the challenges you’ll face at each one. He explains the importance of creating your company’s purpose, values, and mission, and how to cast that to your team. He also shares how to hire the right people and effectively communicate your expectations to them.
There is so much value in this episode; don’t miss it!
We all know that feeling.
The one when you finish your workweek, only to realize that you didn’t even get to the most important tasks on your list.
People always ask me, “With so much going on how do you manage your time?” The truth is there is no magic solution, but there are learnable principles that anyone can use to be more productive.
As an entrepreneur, I’m constantly studying how other successful business owners are doing and growing. That’s why I’m very excited to share my conversation with Daniel Gefen, #1 International Bestselling author of The Self Help Addict, host of the podcast “Can I Pick Your Brain?” (which has reached over 250,000 downloads and ranked in the Top 100 Business Podcasts on iTunes) and Founder and CEO of Gefen Media Group.
Agencies are often really good at what they do, but they struggle at creating the right systems for scaling, generating a steady pipeline, hiring a team and providing the right tools and resources for their team to be successful. Luckily, this week’s guest, agency advisor, mentor, and author Jason Swenk, knows a thing or two about scaling an agency. He grew his own multi-million dollar agency for 12 years before selling it, and now he teaches other agency owners the exact systems and framework he used to do so, helping them grow from zero to eight figures.
With winter fast approaching, I’ve heard from many business owners that they’re planning to attend trade shows and conferences. So I thought I’d tell you a story.
I’ll never forget our first trade show. We were so excited about connecting with some great prospects. After the show, we got back to the office, and someone asked, “Who’s got the bag with the business cards?” (Mind you, this was back in the pre-digital age.) After a heart-wrenching search, we realized that the hard-won cards had been completely misplaced, probably still attending the trade show under a forgotten table.
