Starting a company from scratch and being the Founding CEO or First Family is an honor and accomplishment too big to put into words; especially as it grows to employ people, leaders, and teams and impacts the world! It’s truly your baby… and that comes with massive positives and massive concerns. The positives can be…

Firing… this is a sensitive topic and let’s face it, it’s hard to get fired in America but shouldn’t be impossible or done too late. You may have read or heard me say in my Leadership Videos, “Leadership is not for the weak”; and you can be sure your leadership will be tested! When you’re
