It’s tough to give your business your all. We’re always juggling multiple projects, sometimes a day job, hobbies, and personal commitments. But if you’re serious about your business, it’s time to focus.

So why do we struggle to go all-in? 

Most of us think it’s due to fear of risk, of putting all the eggs of our time and energy into the basket of one mission. But that’s not really it. 

The truth is, we’re not afraid, we’re just a little delusional. We think we can succeed at everything, all at once. But the truth is, we can’t. It takes laser-sharp focus to make real progress in your own business.

When we don’t commit fully, we limit our potential for success. Fear and lack of confidence aren’t the real culprits here. It’s the misconception that we can do it all.

Today, we explain why going all-in is essential, and share strategies to help you get there. Give your business the singular focus it deserves. Click Play!

Stress doesn’t just hurt you (although that’s reason enough to address it). It also hurts your business. Understanding this is the best way to stop thinking of stress management as an afterthought or a luxury.

You can’t avoid stress, but you have to mitigate it. 

Once you see what stress costs, you’ll do something about it. If you don’t take action, the costs aren’t just emotional — they’re tangible. Today, we’ll explain several specific things stress takes away from your business, and how to treat stress like any other business challenge.

And yes, that includes an action plan.

Learn the real-world consequences of unmanaged stress, and how to treat the issue like any other threat to your profitability. If you’re not taking care of you, you’re not taking care of business. 

Learn how to approach stress like an entrepreneur:  strategically and effectively. Click Play!

Remote work isn’t going anywhere, especially for lean startups who want a big talent pool and low overhead. But for new entrepreneurs, it can be hard to know if you’re in touch with the team enough.

Also, let’s admit it: most people hate meetings. Including the boss.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener with a small remote team who isn’t sure how often to bring the crew together (virtually, of course). As the CEO of a company with employees all over the world, Omar can relate. Talking in real time matters.

Spoiler alert: there’s probably no such thing as meeting too often.

That doesn’t mean you should waste your team’s time. It means that when in doubt, you should always communicate more, not less. And there’s a way to do it that won’t test your team’s patience, or rob them of autonomy and trust. 

Hear our approach to remote meeting cadence, and learn how to keep your team on the same page. Click Play!

There’s one skill that differentiates people who can make it in business (or anything really) in the long term: a comfortable relationship with disappointment. Including the kind that comes from your own failure.

Don’t worry, this episode won’t bum you out. It’ll empower you!

Long understood in the sports world, the ability to shake off a bad outcome is the key to survival in business. If you don’t allow your motivation, confidence, and belief to be derailed by losses, you will get to the wins — even if it takes a few more losses.

Call it “grit.” Call it perseverance. But whatever you do, develop this skill now.

Learn how important it is to be ok with getting knocked down, and hear a few strategies that’ll help you do just that. Embrace disappointment as a fact, so you can let it go as an anchor. The sooner you cultivate this very healthy skill, the less disappointment you’ll have to discipline.
