Shift happens!               David Emerald, author of The Power of TED

7-Minutes to Mastery (ScalingUp Club) -- Alan Miltz's highlights the 7 simple levers you and your team can change to impact cash using his Power of One approach (best I've ever seen). "Shift happens" so have the cash you need. Please watch this short clip with your team at your weekly meeting. More below, but first...

10th Anniversary Edition -- it's rare that a book remains a best-seller for over a decade. David Emerald's jewel of a parable titled The Power of TED has positively impacted countless lives, helping people escape (shift) the dreaded drama triangle and replace it with a creator/challenger/coach model of performance. GPro and book club members will receive a copy of the 10th Anniversary Edition next week - then join a 1000 CEOs and leaders of mid-market companies and embrace David's heartfelt keynote at the Growth Summit Presented by Fortune, Oct 25 - 26 Dallas.

5 Ways to Pick a Killer Name -- naming stuff matters. And professional/service firms are particularly bad at NOT naming anything, unlike manufacturers who name every product and model. My latest Fortune column highlights 5 ways to choose a killer name for your company (yes, some of you have bad names) and products/services. I particularly like the private equity firm example - Riverside names everything! It provides an important shortcut for people to explain what makes them different. And research is clear - the "quality" of your name(s) will impact how big you scale.

Juggling a Unicorn and 5 Children -- Ryan Smith, co-founder of Utah-based Qualtrics, has a statistician for an assistant who tracks all kinds of metrics for him - including days away from home (68 vs. 99 the year before) and time spent with his wife and each of his five children (read about the "most important 9 minutes" idea). He also knows when he is most productive and a dozen other stats on his activities, reviewing quarterly to make improvements. #12 on Fortune's "Top 40 Under 40" list, this article highlights how he juggles scaling a significant customer and employee enterprise survey firm with other aspects of his life. Notes Smith, in the video accompanying the article, it doesn't do any good to scale a business if the rest of your life doesn't come with you! Take 3 minutes to scan down through the article to read how Smith has scaled such a significant firm since 2002 to over a billion in market cap. Focusing initially on ONE narrow (and surprising) niche was key.

Fun Fact: 55% Search Amazon First -- Fortune reported this week on a BloomReach poll of 2000 people that found "55% of U.S. online shoppers begin their product searches on Amazon." This is an 11% increase over last year while specific retailers are visited first just 16% of the time, down from 21%. And with 49 million Prime customers, Amazon continues its lock on internet shopping. Why? Because it focuses on one thing - how to make everything easier. What can you do to make it easier for people to do business with you, use your product/service, and for your employees to deliver? It's all about "easy."

Pricing, Ideal Teams, Turnarounds, Value Propositions, Biomimicry, and Human Performance -- we have some of the biggest names (Pat Lencioni, Hermann Simon, Alex Osterwalder, Greg Brenneman, Amanda Lindhout, Cal Newport, Jay Harmon, Rory Vaden, and David Emerald) in each of these critical areas of your business, thought leaders who have literally written the book on these topics, coming together at the upcoming Growth Summit. It's a chance for you and your team to hear directly from the authors - the equivalent of reading a dozen books (the ideal "A" player quota for six months). Plus, you'll be in a room and sharing meals/receptions with almost 1000 other leaders of scaleups. Two intense days of learning - to keep you ahead of your competition - Oct 24 - 26, Dallas.

Execution Excellence -- I still consider David Marquet's book, Turn the Ship Around, to be one of the best in how to drive execution in a firm. Taking the worst submarine in the US nuclear navy and getting it to first through his Intent-based Leadership model is now a complete online Master Class...

...7-Week Online Program with David -- Want to lead an organization where execution happens without permission and results are part of the day-to-day? Join David Marque in his new Intent-Based Leadership Online Master Class. It is a 7-week program (a couple hours per week) where you will learn and gradually implement David's leadership methodology to build a thriving culture and business. Click here for more information or feel free to contact Juan Gonzalez at [email protected] or call him at (512) 773 5465.

7-Minutes to Mastery (ScaleUp Club) -- Alan Miltz's "Cash Flow is King" online course (he wrote one of the key Cash chapters in Scaling Up) provides you with the implementation tools to dramatically increase your cash flow. In this 7-minute clip you'll learn how to use "The Power of One" (easier to hear him explain than read in my book), one of the key new Growth Tools. To access the clip, go here!

WD-40’s Obsession; Hardy #1 Again; ScaleUpU KC; Please Send NO Stuff

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

7-Minutes to Mastery (Scaling Up Club) -- Transform your company and industry with VC Todd Klein's 8 traits of great companies from Built for Change, but first...

How WD-40 Created a Learning-Obsessed Culture -- excerpted from Bill Taylor's brilliant new book titled Simply Brilliant, this HBR article highlights how this sleepy company has turned on the gas. Its products are now sold in 176 countries and the share price has tripled since 2009. Notes Taylor, credit goes to CEO Garry Ridge's "WD-40 Maniac Pledge," a solemn vow to become, in his words, a "learning maniac":

I am responsible for taking action, asking questions, getting answers, and making decisions. I won't wait for someone to tell me. If I need to know, I'm responsible for asking. I have no right to be offended that I didn't "get this sooner." If I'm doing something others should know about, I'm responsible for telling them.

Please take 4 minutes to read through how Ridge has created this learning-obsessed company culture.

Roger Hardy Scaling Up Again -- after selling his first company for what was the largest e-commerce deal in Canadian history (CN$450 million), Roger Hardy is at it again, this time selling shoes. Just named the #1 new startup in Canada, take 3 minutes to read this article on how Hardy pieced together a couple key (and lucky?) acquisitions while reassembling his old "band" to drive a company that is competing with Zappos and Amazon. It also emphasizes how Hardy is installing the same Rockefeller Habits in Shoes.com that he did in Coastal Contacts (Roger, thank you for the shout out). Can't wait for the IPO.

10 CEOs Invited to ScaleUp -- it was Jan 2007 when Roger Hardy first asked me to come in and facilitate his two-day strategy session - he and his team have always been coachable and maniacs about learning which is why they've scaled big. I don't do these private sessions anymore (led, now, by our 197 partners), but Jan 11 - 15, 2017 I'm hosting an intimate "ScaleUp Bootcamp" for 8 CEOs in Marathon, FL (the Keys). Held at John Ratliff's beautiful Marathon Retreat Center, on the water, it's a chance to dig into each company's strategy and tactics, allowing me to bring my 34 years of experience and that of the other 7 CEOs to identify and gain control of the constraints in your business and industry. Plus, it's a chance to escape the cold and get your head back into the game as you start 2017. $7500/CEO inclusive - please email Tanya Fraser if interested in scaling big -- [email protected].

Too Few Scaleups -- 11,000 companies startup every hour around the globe - just too few scaleup. This recent Bloomberg/BusinessWeek article features our new ScaleUpU city initiative along with the efforts of Endeavor, with whom we're partnering in several regions, to support scaleups. If you think your city is ready to augment its already robust startup eco-system (an incubator on every corner) with something focused on supporting scaleups like Hardy's, please email me [email protected]. We're looking for passionate entrepreneurs ready to lead their cities in this initiative.

ScaleUpU Kicks Off in Kansas City -- our new decade-long initiative to establish scaleup eco-systems in 150 cities around the globe kicks off during Global Entrepreneurship Week. With the support of the Kauffman Foundation and the leadership of serial entrepreneur Mary Leonida, our ScaleUpU initiative launches Nov 14 - 17 in Kansas City. Each year 15 mid-market firms in each city, through public-private partnerships, are chosen to participate in a 24-month companywide education and coaching process aimed to double revenues within 3 to 5 years - and are recognized through the press for their important impact on the local economy. A dozen additional cities are expected to launch in 2017. Here's to finding and supporting more Roger Hardy's in local economies.

Welcome Tanya and Mike -- after 11 and half years of providing outstanding customer service, Joanne Costello has left the building (her final leadership action was to actually sell our HQ building!). Tanya Fraser is our new head of customer service and Mike Davies is leading operations for our events, like the upcoming Growth Summit in Dallas.

And Please Send NO Stuff -- we've gone virtual - our main HQ in Ashburn, VA has been sold and we're going fully paperless. So please send NO packages/mail/books. And with our various sister companies spread around the globe, if you need to ship something to one of us, please inquire first the best address. Here's to travelling light!

7-Minutes to Mastery (Scaling Up Club) -- In Built for Change, venture capitalist Todd Klein explains the 8 traits that distinguish extraordinary companies. He led a study in 125 companies and narrowed them down to 26 that had a transformative aspect. This clip sets up the context of his research and focuses on the importance of cultural environment to successfully transform your industry.

Going outside the established duopoly is hard, but who's better qualified than entrepreneurs to do so?
	Entrepreneur Martin Babinec, Independent Candidate for US Congress

Procrastinate on Purpose -- this is the clever title of Rory Vaden's latest book outlining what he calls the "5 Permissions" you can give yourself (like "ignore") to dramatically reduce your workload. Go right to page 84 to see a useful list of nice ways to say "no." And I love his story, just prior to this list, where he describes being told no by someone five times, but in gracious ways, and he's now an even bigger fan of this person. Page 71 outlines several ways to eliminate work - the first being to stop making re-decisions! My team just suffered from this very situation - what a waste of time. GPro and book club members will receive his book next week. Then come hear Rory keynote our Growth Summit in Dallas Oct 25 - 26 - that hour will save you thousands.

Procrastinate Tax Reporting -- in the US Sept 15 is the very last day you can file your corporate tax returns. I hate everything about the laborious process - the time, expense, intrusion - I wonder how we ended up in such a convoluted mess and if anyone can fix our screwed up tax system - OK, that's my rant. So, as they say, bad things happen when good people don't do anything. However, entrepreneur Martin Babinec is doing something - he's running for US Congress as an Independent on his own Upstate Jobs Party. Please read on...

Founder of Trinet Makes Independent Run for Congress -- Martin Babinec founded and built one of the largest PEOs (Professional Employer Organization) in the US - a company he took public two years ago at a value over $1 billion. I first met Martin as my "student" in the MIT/Inc./YEO Birthing of Giants executive program I founded and hosted at MIT (now called EMP). The first thing I noticed? He looks like Bill Gates. Everyone in class did a double take when Martin walked into class. Anyway, I became so impressed with his entrepreneurial vision and talent that Gazelles signed on as a client and we've been "employed" by Trinet for almost two decades.

He Has the Momentum -- Starting with zero name recognition 6 months ago, Martin is already polling at 21% and gaining on both the Democrat and Republican candidates. More importantly, there is a huge number of undecideds. Martin is fully staffed and is all in for the final two months of the campaign. Noted Martin in an email to me last week:

I've truly learned a ton in this journey and it has pushed me outside my comfort zone to do many things I would not have otherwise done. This is what keeps us young :) And I truly believe that if I can pull this off as an independent, others with our kind of profile will be taking notice and more likely to follow on with efforts of their own.

Don't Procrastinate -- Martin is doing something - at least consider doing something by supporting him. I donated and hope you will too - all the funds are going straight into advertising to fuel his momentum - http://babinecforcongress.com/donate/. Below is more information on Martin's background, why he's running, why an independent bid, etc.

Martin Babinec Background Highlights:

• Moved family to home town of Little Falls NY in 1999 - commuted to Silicon Valley for 11 years while still running TriNet.
   
• Struck by how Upstate NY has the right assets, but a dearth of venture backed startups. As the best talent leaves, families get broken up.
   
• Started non profit Upstate Venture Connect in 2010 - mission is to connect 1st time entrepreneurs in new industries with the resources who can help them across the entire Upstate NY region. Helped launch 6 seed capital funds, 3 college accelerator programs and private capital funded StartFast Venture Accelerator. UVC has also created region wide community calendar and startup resource map - both of which are deployed at community websites throughout the region. Total UVC network now numbers 10,000+ supporters who share the vision of helping the next generation of entrepreneurs in new industries.

Why run for office?

• Frustrated with hearing politicians talk about creating jobs and then keep repeating the failed corporate welfare strategies of the past as they hope for a different result.
   
• Congressional role offers leadership opportunity to influence other policy makers, as well as community and business leaders in the District.
   
• Goal: Shift discussion and resources towards fostering the environment that supports homegrown innovation companies over business attraction - retaining our best talent who create new things also drives job growth allowing us to keep our families together.

Running as an independent:

• 2016 election cycle showing strong voter frustration with traditional parties and candidates.
   
• NY State election law offers both a path for 3rd party candidates to get on the ballot as well as the potential to influence political discourse by forming a new special interest based party - Upstate Jobs Party with a mission to engage voters, community leaders and businesses to support initiatives and policies that cut across imaginary boundaries to help entrepreneurs get connected to the resources they need.
   
• With every independent that gets elected, more are likely to follow.

How can people help?

• Out of district supporters welcome. Support through social media, referrals, contributions and more - visit BabinecForCongress.com/volunteer for description of opportunities.
   
• Spread the word to any friends with ties to Upstate NY - particularly in the middle of the state as District 22 covers an area roughly Utica to just east of Syracuse and south to Binghamton.

Cuban’s Investment; Hsieh’s Regrets; 5-Hour Workday; 3 Ways to Love; 100% Customer Retention

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

Anytime you have a difficult decision, imagine yourself as a 90-year-old looking back at this moment. What decision would you wish that you would have made? Go forward and look backward.
	Nick Woodman, Founder/CEO GoPro

7-Minutes to Mastering (Scaling Up Club) -- Tony Hsieh, founder of Zappos, shares his two favorite books and the #1 priority in driving the business in this clip.

Tony Hsieh's Biggest Regret -- it's been almost 5 years since Hsieh poured $350 million into revitalizing downtown Las Vegas - and in hindsight he would have done a few things differently. If you're interested in the update, read this CNBC piece. In addition to the chicken-and-egg challenges of launching something new, which he describes, he notes:

"The other thing that we would have done differently, knowing what we know now, is really made our goals much more explicit," Hsieh said.

CNBC explains:

For example, he would have put "collisions" - serendipitous encounters between individuals who can drive innovation - ahead of co-learning, connectedness and even return on investment.

The point? Measure what you really want/need and keep that front and center. Please take 2 minutes to pick up additional lessons from Tony's lofty vision.

3 Ways to Fall in Love...with a job you don't even like. Have your employees read this CNN "The Wisdom Project" article! With employee engagement at all-time lows, why is the onus for fixing this only on the backs of the leadership. Employees need to step-up - there are huge parts of jobs that just suck, so do something about it. As this article suggests, the problem isn't the job. Instead, the article suggests:

1. Hack the job (though I'm getting tired of this term) - there are better ways to do things - or not do things!
    
2. Enjoy your work neighbors - make a point to get to know, more deeply, those you interact with daily.
    
3. Create a new job title in your head - even if your job is to clean bedpans (great example in article).

Take 3 minutes to read the details for each - it's worth it - then start loving your job again.

What Happened When Cuban's Investment Moved to a 5-Hour Workday -- Tower Paddle Boards, a Shark-Tank funded firm, decided to move to a 5-hour workday - 8am - 1pm. Productivity tripled, sales and profits increased 40%, per hour wages doubled, and everyone is happier, as you can imagine! This Fast Company article, written by founder Stephan Aarstol, details how they did it - many of the ideas similar to the above ways to streamline a job. The key, again, is measuring what matters - output vs. hours - and challenging conventional wisdom. Henry Ford was the first to dramatically reduce the work week and his productivity soared - and those who have faced debilitating illnesses have discovered the same. Work expands to fill the time allowed unless you take control.

Best Advice from 40 Under 40 -- the above quote came from Fortune asking the Top 40 under 40 alumni for their best piece of advice. Take 2 minutes to scan down through the rest of their pearls of (young) wisdom. BTW, it's always about going back to the basics.

Total Ctrl Retains 100% of Clients (Gazelles Case Study) -- Entrepreneur Ryan Markel's unique rhythm of customer contact has helped his lean startup Take Ctrl position itself for seven-figure revenue while growing profits by 400% last year. One key was rethinking the entire IT services pricing model and eliminating irritants in getting IT support (I'm all for that!), with the help of Gazelles International Certified Coach David Chavez. Take 3 minutes to see how Ryan and his team have accomplished this daring transformation.

Airbnb’s Job; Strange Brain of Climber; Slower Wins; 75 Foot Vision Wall

"...insights for scaleups"

HEADLINES:

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.                                   Alvin Toffler - from the book "46 Rules of Genius"

PulsePoint's 75 Foot Wall -- Core Values, Purpose, Brand Promises, and Priorities - all from the Scaling Up "Vision Summary" document, are colorfully displayed where all the employees can see them - photo below, but first...

Airbnb's "Jobs to be done" -- this remains one of the most powerful strategy questions - a question Harvard's strategist Clayton Christensen coined. This HBR article walks you through how Airbnb thinks about this question - and just like Clayton's milk shake example sent a few weeks ago, there are some surprise "jobs" customers need Airbnb to do which is why they are winning in the market vs. nicer accommodations. Do you fully understand the jobs your customer needs you to do for them? Take 3 minutes to read this insightful article. Thank you Gazelles Certified coaching partner Howard Shore for sharing.

Value Proposition Design -- this "jobs" question is also at the heart of Alex Osterwalder's tools for helping you determine your value proposition. Alex will walk you through the application of this question to your organization and its customers during his presentation at the upcoming Growth Summit 2016 in Dallas Oct 25 - 26. Osterwalder's process is very powerful and insightful, which helped me rethink our new ScaleUpU offering to cities and growth firms.

Slow Deciders Make Better Strategists -- there are those who make good competitive-strategy decisions and those you don't! This HBR article reports on the findings by Mark Chussil, CEO of Advanced Competitive Strategies, who notes:

...the essential lesson for competitive-strategy decision-makers is not so fast, in both senses of the phrase: take your time and don't be so sure.

Take 2 minutes to read through his discoveries and take to heart his lessons when it comes to make critical strategic decisions.

The Strange Brain of the World's Greatest Solo Climber -- my heart races and my palms sweat just watching Alex Honnold free climb - check out this compilation video. What can we learn from how he faces his fear? This Nautilus article reports on the results of brain scans which reveal that he, indeed, has a fear center (some people surmised that he might have been born without one!), but it just doesn't activate like others. The key lesson? The more you face your fear the less fear you have - it's like challenging your immune system - it either kills you or makes you stronger. I think the same goes for making big decisions. So get deciding! Thank you to my wife Julie for sharing.

Tracking Sleep and Diet Aids Phelps in Rio -- to remain in peak form for Michael Phelps fifth Olympics, Under Armour equipped him with various technologies to track his sleep, fitness, activity and nutrition. Notes this Fortune article:

...sleep is an element of fitness preparation that still isn't fully understood, but seems critical...Jordan Spieth's own experimentation with connected gear by Under Armour earlier this year, he also explained that sleep monitoring was very important. (Spieth prefers at least eight hours of sleep each night).

Phelps found that the year prior to the Olympics he averaged 7 hours and 36 minutes of sleep so he set that as his goal in Rio. It seems to have worked (or at least not hurt)! We're learning more everyday about the importance of sleep in driving performance. For me, an afternoon nap has become critical.

PulsePoint's Wall and Wins -- below is a photo of their Vision wall. And Sloan Gaon's firm also won one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work award from Inc. Magazine a few weeks ago. Congrats to Sloan and his team and thank you to their Gazelles Certified Coach (and serial entrepreneur) Rich Manders for sharing.
