Business seems to breed complexity. In fact, if you feel overwhelm or stress it’s likely due to the fact that your business has reached a level of complexity that you can no longer manage it with your current thinking, systems, and resources. Recently, I sat down with Dan Kuschell. If you don’t know Dan, he’s the CEO of Genius Network and he’s started 11 businesses. In this interview, Dan covered some deep and different thinking on the topic of simplifying business…
Your business.
In the interview you’ll discover:
- Dan’s “3D” framework for getting things off your plate.
- The critical question that will give you the power to get dramatically more done with ease.
- How to connect with your own “genius network.”
- The pull method of making progress vs. the push method of struggling forward.
- The vital importance of who is not in the room (it’ll make sense when you listen to Dan).
- This is an interview worth listening to twice (probably more) to pick up the small things Dan shared, that delivers tremendous power.
