The journey of a stone shop owner can be exhilarating and marked by success and profits.  Along the way, there can be roadblocks that either wear us out or prevent us from continuing the journey.

In this episode I share the 6 stages of leadership growth and management capacity:

1. The Doer
2. The Director
3. The Dictator
4. The Delegator
5. The Discipler
6. The Dreamer

If we get stuck managing in one of these stages, while the business grows past, the journey can become intolerable, exhausting, frustrating, and disillusioned…even preventing us from taking time off.

But progressing into the latter stages opens up doors and opportunities that you may never thought was possible.

Enjoy and Happy Fabricating!

Imagine what your family and friends will say when you tell them you’re taking a day off to spend with them and that you won't be on your phone!

Once you’ve mastered the art and science of taking lunch breaks without being interrupted, you can start taking full days off!

The steps are the same, they just require a little more communication and little more planning.

With a little practice, it's only a matter of time before you’re taking a week off, on a “non-working” vacation!

You’re worth it and you can do it!

If you’d like to experience high-level fabricator coaching firsthand, click here and we’ll schedule a complimentary, no stings attached coaching experience with me!  It's my gift to you as a member of the Fab Lab Podcast community.

What if you could leave for lunch and not get calls from the office or the crew?  What if you could take a day off of work and not spend half the day on the phone or computer putting out fires and apologizing to customers?  What if you could take a week-long “Non-Working” Vacation? 

 

The fact is you can and I would go as far as to say you should!

 

In fact, in this episode, I teach you how to take your lunchtime tomorrow and not get any calls.

 

We cover the following:

1. Communicating: what time you're taking off and who needs to know it.
2. Define Exceptions: making it clear what is urgent and what isn’t urgent.
3. Planning and Preparing: what information do you need to hand off before you take time off.

Enjoy your next Lunch Time and Happy Fabricating

Conventional wisdom says we have to wait until we build and sell our business for millions before we can have the time and money to do the things that are important to us.

In this episode, I challenge that idea and ask some tough questions that can actually have life-altering impacts on the way we build our businesses and the lives we experience as a result.

1. How do you define rich:
   1. Income – money rich –
   2. Time -
2. What definition of success are you working off of?
   1. Is that your definition
   2. Is that someone else’s definition?
3. How would you define success for yourself, your spouse, family, etc.
4. How would you measure your success?
5. What are the things you long to do & want to do, but just never seem to have time?
   1. You need time to ask yourself this question
   2. You need to give yourself permission to ask this question

Happy Fabricating!

Breaking out of the “doing it” mentality and into the “delegate it” mindset and practice is HARD!!!

No way of getting around that fact…

 

In this episode we discuss 3 simple principles to help you continue your journey of learning the skill of delegation:

1. Start Small
2. Stay Committed and Engaged
3. Slow and Steady Wins the Race

It's tough but so worth the effort!

It would be nice if we could just throw a document at an employee and magically see flawless execution…But that’s not reality and it's not a fair expectation.

Furthermore, if that is our expectation we risk overacting and concluding that we can't trust our people or the PROcess.

So how do you get traction with delegation, after you’ve done the hard work of creating a written document?

Simple (but necessarily easy), we do the following:

1. Remind – Regular and purposeful checking in to keep it top of mind
2. Insist – Wake-up Call  
3. Demand – Choices…either perform…or else.

Now the “else” is up to you as the owner and if you Remind and Insist adequately, the chances of getting to that stage are low.

Enjoy and happy fabricating!

When your team is working at their maximum potential, everyone wins!   Your customers win, you win, and your team wins!

 

In this episode, we discuss two dimensions of trusting your people:

 

1. Believing they WANT to do great work
2. Believing that they CAN do great work

 

We also discuss how a process enables good work to continue, grow and expand…eventually enabling you to grow your business and get away from it for a change!

 

Enjoy and Happy Fabricating!
