a red flag in your business

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

This may be hard to hear.

But every problem in your business is a YOU problem.

It’s not the market. Or the economy. Or the employee who doesn’t listen. Or the annoying customer.

It’s YOU.

I sat down with my homey, Travis Howard, who delivered this tough love to me during the latest episode of the podcast.

Travis is a former cannabis attorney turned consultant. He’s worked with everyone from scrappy startups to companies that just raised $500 million.

Here’s how he put it:

“Every business problem is a SELF problem in a different costume.”

Think about it. That “external” problem you keep blaming?

It’s just life unfolding.

A customer said no. The vendor didn’t deliver on time. The market shifted.

These aren’t problems.

They’re just things that happened.

The REAL problem is how you react.

Travis walked me through his whole framework for building conscious businesses.

We covered:

  • The Costume You Wear - Why putting on a “different you” at work is a red flag that something deeper is broken
  • The Self → Customer → Machine → Team Framework - How to diagnose exactly where your business is stuck
  • The 90-Day Rule - The first big change Travis made at his law firm (and why your team meetings might be killing your growth)
  • Your Team Comes LAST - Why this counterintuitive approach actually serves your people better than anything else

Most entrepreneurs spend all their time fixing external stuff.

When the real work is internal.

And sometimes it’s tough to admit that.

I was hanging out with homey, Travis, yesterday. He's a seasoned entrepreneur who's owned several businesses. He asked me how things were going. Business is growing. Boys are getting older. Life is good. Yes. Things are moving in the right directon but I'm still digging out of a hole. See, before I started my business, I put myself in a pretty deep financial hole. And while I've made a lot of progress over the last 3 years, I'm still climbing. My wife asks about the house. "When are we...

I was on a Zoom with 12 people who hired me, and I noticed a pattern I had never seen this clearly before. On Monday, we did the kickoff call for the Content on Easy Mode Community. To help everyone get to know each other, we went around the room and did introductions. I didn’t even ask this question, but people started volunteering how they found me and why they joined. Here’s what shocked me: 4 people first discovered me because I presented inside communities they were already part of(and...

I go to the gym every morning. Part of my workout is a 30-40 minute cardio session. I used to do the treadmill, but I hurt my ankle, so I've been on the elliptical. (I'm getting old.) 😢 For the last 3 years, while I do cardio, I've been watching TV shows. I decided to change that up this year. Started last week. Instead of TV shows, I've been watching YouTube videos. All stuff related to my business. How to create better content, how to generate more leads, trends in the social media world I...
