I recently came across the term "mushroom employees." It's a not-so-great approach where you keep your team in the dark and don't provide the nourishment they need to grow.In the past, when working for others, I often felt like a mushroom employee…no idea about the big picture and stuck with less-than-ideal tasks. The result? Poor work and eventually wanting to leave.Good leadership means offering a vision where your team's aspirations fit. Even if they don't want to start a business, they have dreams like making more money or taking on more significant roles. It's your job to help them achieve those dreams. Make sure they have the resources, training, and support they need. Fix what's missing before concluding they can't meet your standards.Avoid creating mushroom employees. Keep your team in the light, provide resources, and support their growth.A fulfilled team is more likely to help you reach your goals.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Let's chat about a common question I get: should you write a book?Writing a book can be fantastic, but there's a catch. Your book must be good, no shortcuts allowed. If you're searching for an easy way out, a bad book won't help your brand. Realize this: writing a book takes time, possibly a year or more. It's a marathon, not a sprint. If you can't stay motivated for the long haul, don't bother. Also, prepare for the possibility that your first book may not get huge readership.Here's my take: I want everyone to write a book, but only if you're committed to putting in the time and effort. Writing is an art that deserves dedication.Friendly tip: If you're not a writer, start with blogging, tweeting, or newsletters. Write a million words before tackling a book. Writing a book is a long-term journey.So, if you've got the dedication, go for it. Writing a book can be a highly rewarding accomplishment. If you're not committed, save yourself the agony.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I recently discussed cheap dopamine, like what you get from video games.I'm not saying you should quit, but it's crucial to understand the price you're paying.Video games are designed to be addictive. They can mute your emotions and motivation outside of the game, and that's when it becomes dangerous.My advice? Use them intentionally. They have benefits…but proceed with caution. Make them a tool, not a master.If life isn't where you want it to be and video games are a big part, consider cutting back. It can free up time and reset your pleasure-seeking systems.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Around five years ago, a partner said, "You can't save your way to profitability." It clashed with the idea that saving is king. The truth is…saving matters, but you can't save your way to abundance.When you're making $40,000 a year, saving a lot won't make life feel abundant. The key is to earn more. Going from $50,000 to $100,000 made a real difference for me.At Invictus Capital, we were super efficient with expenses, but it wasn't enough. Increasing revenue was easier than trying to save more. Balance your financial game; defense (managing expenses) is vital, but offense (earning more) is the real game-changer.Remember, you can't save your way to abundance.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

It's been roughly eleven years since my life took a wild turn, and I've been reflecting on my biggest regret from that time. It might sound strange, but what I really regret is not documenting that period of my life. I didn't write, take photos, or capture moments like living in a decked-out van or showering next to a CrossFit class.I recently saw an entrepreneur sharing their journey, and it hit me. We're often so focused on the destination that we forget to appreciate the journey's progress. Success isn't just giant leaps…it's the small daily steps that accumulate over time. So, regardless of where you are on your journey, start documenting it. It's a gift for your future self and those who come after you.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

I've got a wealth strategy that might change the game for you. Instead of the risky path of starting a business from scratch, consider buying an existing one.Starting from zero is tough. Most new businesses struggle. But running a business is one of the best ways to build wealth. So, why not buy one that's already successful?The best part is…many business owners want to retire, and their companies are up for grabs. This is your chance to acquire a thriving business with a proven track record. It's way less risky than starting from scratch.This unconventional approach could be your ticket to wealthLEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!

Think about it - our brains are question-answering machines. We evolved from survival-based questions to questions about thriving and purpose. But here's the catch, the quality of our life is directly linked to the quality of the questions we ask ourselves. So, here's the secret sauce: Dig deeper. Question everything you believe, challenge those limiting beliefs holding you back. Next, recruit your subconscious mind. Before bed, write down a question, and let your dreams work their magic. When you wake up, grab your journal and watch the ideas flow.Remember, your life is the culmination of the questions you ask and the answers you generate. The better the question, the better the answer, the better the results.LEAVE A REVIEW if you liked this episode!!
