    Looking forward to a long weekend

    ByBrad Farris September 3, 2020July 5, 2024

    Yeah, I had a rough week with my emails. First, on Saturday, I send out an email about my new video helping owners of expert firms to make key strategic choices about how they build their business. BUT, I didn’t include a link to the video! Thanks for those of you who reached out for…

    I feel at least 100X better…

    ByBrad Farris May 30, 2020July 5, 2024

    A couple of weeks ago, I wrote to you about a conversation I had with my coach, where she asked me, “When are you going to stop treating your body like a rental car?” It was a wake-up call for me when she asked the question several years ago, and yet, in my email a…

    What’s your body telling you?

    ByBrad Farris April 25, 2020July 5, 2024

    “When are you going to stop treating your body like a rental car?” When my coach said that to me a few years ago, it stopped me dead in my tracks.  “What do you mean, treat my body like a rental car?” “You only have one body, Brad. You can’t just turn it in at…

    Setting limits on my “crazy boss”

    ByBrad Farris March 26, 2020July 5, 2024

    We’ve talked about my “boss” before, right? He’s a total nut job, always making commitments with unrealistic deadlines. He’s terrible at looking at a to-do list and having any idea of how long it’s going to take to complete that work. It’s his fault that I’m writing this email at a quarter of eight at…

    Lies I hear: Sure, I’m a workaholic, but I love it!

    ByBrad Farris February 13, 2020July 5, 2024

    I’m starting an occasional series where I talk about some of the lies I hear from the business owners that I speak to. They don’t always know that they are lying to me, but over time, I’ve come to hear these phrases as lies.  Today we start with this one, “Sure, I’m a workaholic. I…

    How to avoid burnout as a business owner

    ByBrad Farris February 10, 2020July 5, 2024

    I could tell he didn’t want to sell his company. My client had supposedly called me to talk about selling. But right away, it was clear that something else was going on. You see, his business was doing great—it had grown bigger than he’d ever dreamed. The real problem was he was exhausted. I glanced…

    How to do more work, without getting so exhausted

    ByBrad Farris December 5, 2019July 5, 2024

    Burnout is a big issue among business owners.  Whether it’s younger business owners, who are overwhelmed and frustrated, or older business owners who tell me that they “just don’t have the energy for it anymore,” running a business is taxing on your attention and energy. So how do we get everything done without getting burnt…

    How NOT to burn out your team

    ByBrad Farris October 5, 2019July 5, 2024

    As the boss, you get to see daily progress. When a deal closes, or a project finishes up, you know it. When a client is excited about the changes you made for them, you hear their praise. You have access to a lot of positive feedback that the rest of your team doesn’t see or…

    You *might* be an outlier! Does your energy and stamina risk burnout for your team?

    ByBrad Farris October 3, 2019July 5, 2024

    I was interviewing team members at a new client’s company, and I heard a similar story from all of them. They loved working for this company; they felt like it was a place for them to thrive. The team was great AND they believed in the mission. In fact, everything was great, except…they were exhausted. …

    What do you do when you feel like quitting?

    ByBrad Farris June 22, 2019July 5, 2024

    It can’t keep going like this! You hustle to get more work (‘cause you NEED more work). But when the work comes in, too much of it falls on you! Yes, there’s a team, but it takes more time to get them to do the kick-off and set up the billing, and schedule the status…
