eCommerce AllstarsForget the Magic Bean: How to Break Through Business Roadblocks🏍️ Funny enough, I’m wearing a Triumph Motorcycle t-shirt today, and we’re talking about… ceilings? But I hate the term ceiling.
What does that have to do with Triumph Motorcycles, Branden? 🤔
Well, I prefer to think of them as speed bumps instead of ceilings. These are the challenges we hit while growing our businesses. They slow us down, but they don’t have to stop us from breaking through to the next level of success. 🚧
Too often, we entrepreneurs hit these roadblocks and start looking for some magic strategy to save the day. 🙄 You’ve...2024-10-3004 mineCommerce AllstarsShould You Build It Yourself? The Ultimate Guide For ECommerce Owners!👷‍♂️ Should I build it myself or look for a ready-made solution? This is a question I hear a lot when it comes to business tools like widgets, apps, or platforms that help drive efficiencies and boost sales.
The decision to build or buy requires careful consideration. Here’s my take:
✅ First: Ask yourself, Do I have the people and processes in place to manage, maintain, and continuously improve this new software? It’s not just about building something great—it’s about making sure it consistently delivers the results you need.

You don't build culture; you let culture build itself. How? By empowering your people. Nelson Mandela once said, "It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea." While the sentiment behind this quote is valuable, the approach of persuasion can be problematic.
Let's unpack this. Persuasion implies convincing someone to do what you want. But what if what you want isn't necessarily the best thing? Moreover, assuming that others are smarter than you and involving them in the process fosters collaboration and ownership.
Empowering people means...2024-08-1403 mineCommerce AllstarsAn Operator and a Visionary Walk Into a Bar. (Should You Care?)
🧠Ever wondered about the link between visionaries, operators, and systems? It's more than meets the eye! 🌟
Visionaries are strategists, operators are systems people, but it's all about finding your Area of Genius™ and working in sync. 💡
Without a proper system that aligns with your people, it's time to say, "F**k STRATEGY" and focus on PEOPLE, PROCESS, and TOOLS. 🔧 Let's build systems that empower every member to shine in their areas of genius! 💪
2024-08-1403 mineCommerce AllstarsCreating A Winning Dynamic Duo: A Recipe For Business Success
🌟 "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit." - Harry S Truman 🌟
This rings true in business, especially when it comes to the dynamic duo of the operator and the visionary.
Just look at iconic pairs like Henry Ford and James Couzens... (can you name the other two operators from this video - tell me in the comments!). The secret to their enduring success? A visionary leading the charge and an operator making things happen behind the scenes. 💼🚀

🚀 Ever heard of the Future Forward Org Chart? 🤔
It's not some groundbreaking concept, but more of a refined approach I've developed to ensure leaders are proactive in staffing the right roles as their businesses evolve. đź’Ľ
The key? Flexibility. Jobs change, people change, and that means roles will vary.
It's all about empowering your team, focusing on tasks rather than rigid titles, and ensuring everyone's in their area of genius™. 🧠💡 Embrace the fluidity and watch your organization thrive!

Let's talk about the power of processes and systems in driving success. It's not as complicated as it seems – it's about focusing on what's within our control and harnessing it to propel ourselves forward. Take, for example, the daily sessions I host where individuals work on specific tasks within their businesses. It's a simple yet powerful routine that empowers them to stay focused and productive, even amidst personal challenges. As Yogi Berra famously said, starting the day with a positive action sets the tone for success. So, let's prioritize the things we can control and embrace simple yet effective pr...2024-08-1402 mineCommerce AllstarsWhy F**k Strategy is the Positive Perspective You NeedThe latest and greatest strategies often leave us chasing elusive secrets, but what truly matters are the unspoken truths – the backstory, the systems, the years of hard work behind overnight successes.
This is what "Fuck Strategy" is all about – authenticity, transparency, and real solutions.

2024-08-0703 mineCommerce AllstarsHarvard Business Review is Wrong: Transform Your Business Now
I've always been a big fan of Harvard Business Review. I listened to a podcast - HBR on Strategy. But that got me thinking, HBR on Strategy? That's pretty interesting, do they have HBR on systems? Let's just Google that. Oh no, they don't. That's fine. I get it strategy sounds cooler.
It's what everybody wants to talk about because it's the cool thing. BUT in that Google search I found a topic it said “Productivity is about your systems, not your people” - Harvard Business Review.
Let me tell you why that's wrong...

eCommerce AllstarsReady to make a profoundly positive impact on the world?
What's your passion? What’s your passion? Oh, I love that question. Actually, I hate it. It’s so annoying. It has nothing to do with the success of your business.
Just because you’re passionate about something doesn’t mean you’ll be successful at it. There’s a bigger piece to it.
There’s a difference between your passion and your mission. And I’m not talking about the mission statements on office walls. I mean the mission inside you. What drives you? That’s what led me to #fckstrategy.
