Let’s play the blame game!
I blame Michael Kitces for pushing the independent industry into the modern age of continuous learning
I blame Michael Kitces for forcing me to lengthen my attention span so I can listen to more than a 5-minute sound bite
I blame Michael Kitces for telling me the honest truth in that I couldn’t handle the influx of attention that his podcast would bring to my business
BUT THE TRUTH IS
I blame myself for NOT creating a business that teaches hundreds of business owners each year on how to run a scalable, profitable business. Philip Palaveev [1] found a way.
I blame myself for NOT finding a way to help more owners enjoy being the owner so much that they want to pay it forward and pass that enjoyment to a successor and watch their “owner-student” shine. Julie Littlechild [2] found a way through Absolute Engagement and her great talks.
I blame myself for NOT writing my philosophy of IDEOS™ on transforming your business. The philosophy works to grow a business and create a healthy culture within the office. Mark Tibergien [3] found a way through the stage, books, Moss Adam’s Rebecca Pomering, and CEO of Pershing.
I blame myself for not overcoming my fear of flying and asking for more stage time to mass educate those that want to prepare themselves for a healthy pace of improvements and the “full Jen [4]” energy that my consulting brings to your business. You crave how-to lessons.
While I work to shed the guilt and blame through videos like this [4], I encourage you to get inspired! Listen to my podcast [5] with Michael Kitces, read a few true stories [6] and extract lesson learned, pick a provider [7] that can help you move your business forward, or just read a good book by the greats in our industry.
Good luck as you continue to improve your business!
