Believe in yourself
Since 1989, I have been entrepreneurial in one fashion or another. From starting my own painting company in 1989 as a weekend business to allow my wife to stay home and raise our kids, which turned into a full-time business in 1992 when I left Harris Bank to go out on my own. To FuturesNet, a communications network for the Futures and Options Industry. To FreeDrive in 1998, where we invented web-based storage and provided 50 MB (yes MB not GB) to over 28 million users world-wide. To SonMedia a bundled software to protect children from the dark side of the internet. To consulting companies on operations and growth and eventually starting a Business Coaching company, Pull the Chute, to help companies grow through the power of growing their people.
It is a path I would never want a do-over on. It has made me who I am today.

AUTHOR
Sharing my experiences and ideas with others
The premise behind the book is to help companies change their culture from a top-down mentality to an inclusive environment. You have an open-door policy, have an open voice policy. Let you people have a voice. When they mentally move to, 'This is my company too' amazing things can happen.
Having said that, I am interviewing owners, founders, and C-level people about their company culture. What has worked, what hasn't, where are your biggest struggles today. A lot of times people feel like they are the only ones with a problem, by sharing stories from others, the hope is they realize they are not alone along with sharing things that worked to help them create a culture that is supportive, affirming, and rewarding. Currently, more than 50% of the people in the workforce either hate their job or feel unappreciated. I want people to feel good about what they do because of the culture. Oh, and BTW, the latest stats say that a good culture can lead to a 400% increase in revenue.
A lot to unpack I have my own strategies, but I think it's important to see what others think as well.

Voicing my thoughts and ideas with others
Our mission is to help as many companies as possible to grow by being the best they can be. Eliminating the top-down managing ('Founders Syndrome') leadership mentality, to an employee inclusive culture that is encouraging, supportive, caring, and appreciative. Creating an environment where employees have a voice in how they do their job along with the overall direction of the business. We refer to this as a transformational leadership mentality.
Whether talking in front of 5 or 5,000 people, being able to share my stories, insights, and methodologies with others has been my passion over the last 20 years. The message is clear, it is time to change the way businesses thing and begin to listen to your people, they are the ones in the trenches, who better than to ask for their opinions and ideas. You want to get them to a place where they say 'This is my company too'.
