My Business On Purpose ·

2021/01/12

What’s your word for 2021? How do we stay laser-focused and provide personal accountability moving forward in 2021? Well, we’ve got some great ways to help this morning… Happy Monday friends! Thomas Joyner with Business on Purpose here. So, a few years ago, my brother in law and I were sitting around the pool over the 4th of July just talking about the year. He was asking me a few questions about my year and how I stay focused on the direction I want to head. I was a little confused about what he

Get Rid of Resolutions... Lean into habits! Any idea what percentage of Resolutions are still intact after the month of January? Well, let’s get into it. Happy Friday everyone, Thomas with Business on Purpose here. Recent studies have shown that just under 30% of resolutions stick beyond the month of January! That’s wild! More than 2 out of every 3 New Years Resolutions are given up on by the end of January. I laughed when I read this, but there’s even a day called “Quitter’s Day” where Scientists

421: How To Make Time For Everything

My Business On Purpose ·

2021/01/12

How To Make Time For Everything Amidst the various equalities throughout our world; wealth, culture, educational opportunities, food security, etc., there lies one resource that will always be provided in equal measure. Time. Every week our clock resets with 168 units (hours) of time that systematically tick off each second for 604,800 consecutive beats. Tick. Tick. Tick. Edward called me last week and asked simply, “why does Cynthia stay till 630 every night to get her work done? Every week,

Greenlights Well, happy new year friends! I hope you were able to relax over the holiday season and rest with those you hold dearest. I hope it was a great time of reflection on the past year and a time of eager anticipation for the year to come. My holiday was spent wrestling with my kids, trying to run the sugar out of them at every turn, and being genuinely thankful for everything my life consists of. It’s far from perfect, but I’ve realized that a heart of gratitude is where I want to be no

Your Preparation informs your performance… How prepared are you for the work ahead? Well... let’s find out. Hey, Thomas Joyner with Business on Purpose. I was sitting in a men’s breakfast this morning listening to a good friend of mine share about his experience serving in the Marines. He’s been through things I’ve never dreamed of and we’re blessed to have men like him defending and serving our country. His name is Joe McNamara and he has some amazing stuff on leadership, so make sure you check him

2021/01/07

Stop Making Resolutions And Start Making Habits For some it’s a book, for others it’s a cigarette, and for others, it’s a phone call. Each evening throughout the world a sequence of nighttime habits are taking place in every home, apartment, flat, and dorm in the world. For me the routine is to enjoy something sweet; a cookie, a small piece of pie, a handful of chocolate chips. Not just a quick bite, but instead a long sit down alongside an ice cold glass of milk. That’s my routine. At the

How To Write An Annual Letter Like Jeff Bezos Sometimes we can get lost in the repetition of the process, a good thing, to the neglect of the humanity that can be found in our words. Your team wants to know what you are thinking. They want to know your ideas, your plans, your real-time thoughts, and your reflections; they want to know what you are seeing. One of the most powerful, durable, and recordable ways to share your human thoughts as a leader is to write them out, personally addressed to

2021/01/07

How To Help Employees And Yourself With Money Problems Through our work with business owners, we have seen some who have had access to significant money. Not all, but some. A few weeks ago I was on the phone with a business owner who has what some would consider to be “life-changing” money...meaning, he wouldn’t have to work anymore if he didn’t want to, and he still has at least half of his life left to live statistically. He has houses, boats, cars, toys, investments, commercial real estate, and

How To Prepare Your Business Financially For 2021 Order cannot come out of disorder and yet we cross our fingers at the end of each year in hopes that next year will be better. 2020 punched us all in the mouth forcing us to play our cards and either set processes aligned with the vision, or plunge deeper into chaos and disorder. For many of our clients, this has been a year quietly spying on their financial resources and being more aware of where it is all being allocated. This goes beyond simply

A work worth doing… What do we mean when we say... A work worth doing? Well, we’re about to get into it. Happy Monday everyone, Thomas here with Business on Purpose. I was talking with Scott, the founder of Business on Purpose the other day, and we were talking about how my transition has been over the past year. To be honest, there have been days that have been great, days that have been easy and other days that have been a struggle. In Young Life, it was such a great organization to work for

What's Your Standard? Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! Thomas Joyner here with BOP. I want to talk about culture a bit today. How do you protect it, nurture it, and build it on purpose? I was sitting in on a coaching meeting the other day and a business owner was talking about experiencing an employee fly off the handle in a business meeting. There was someone they worked with in the room and the employee dropped an f-bomb towards the other guy in a heated discussion. Nothing was said to address

Chief Executive Officer or Chief Everything Officer? What kind of CEO are you? I can’t get enough of sports. My wife rolls her eyes at me consistently as she wants to watch a new show together, but it’s playoffs for baseball, basketball, football...whatever! The scheduling of major sporting events is masterful as it’s nearly year round. I can’t help it...I LOVE IT! As I’ve watched sports over the years, there’s one phrase that’s consistently spoken about young players. He’s just trying to do too

What Are Soft Skills And Why Are They Important Democratic cultures endure a multi-year barrage of political campaign noise that has left many citizens dazed and depleted and yet appreciative that options are available. It would be a shame if the only product of the election cycle was a defined winner and loser (although we never want to take that for granted). There are also valuable principles to learn from the political process that we should be investing into our business. We can watch how

My Business On Purpose ·

2021/01/06

I remember my first Big Boy job... I was interning at my uncle’s Marketing Agency in Connecticut. I spent all this time studying marketing in college and I figured, “Ok, if this is what I’m going to do for the rest of my life, I might as well go test it out to make sure for a summer!” So off I went on my 14-hour drive to see if I could cut it in the business world. Let me tell you right now... I was woefully unprepared!!! I remember sitting in staff meetings with no note pad or way of remembering

My Business On Purpose ·

2021/01/05

Do you own MORE than “Just a business?” We were working on mission statements with several clients recently and the question came up, “why not just come up with a catchy slogan that we use as our mission statement?” That’s what most places do, right? Find some group of words or a phrase that is catchy, repeatable, and gets stuck in the head of whoever hears it? That’s as far as most mission statements go. Mission statements need to be so much more than that... why? Because it’s what fuels you every

How To Find A Professional Mentor On my first trip to Nigeria back in 2006 I met a man who was unpretentious, slow, deliberate, and available. Abraham Dada, known simply as Pa Dada, would eventually become for me a standard-bearer of life and leadership. He was a sage. He was a man who lived out the challenging invitation to have “eyes to see, and ears to hear”. Imagine if Yoda were a Nigerian man. That’s Pa Dada. His words were few, each one cutting consciously like a razor-sharp blade, causing

The Five Questions Every Entrepreneur Must Answer For Their Employees...And Themselves My son and I were on an 18-foot center console boat on the edge of the Port Royal Sound in the lowcountry of South Carolina when all of a sudden a thunderous squall line formed just to our west and bared down on us. We had a decision, sit in the middle of the torrential rain and lightning, or make a run for it. We were about 20 minutes from the boat landing. Within 2 minutes of going full throttle on our

5 questions to ask every new hire...EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK! It never fails to happen after hiring...the honeymoon phase is over, the patience is wearing thin with the new employee, and they seem to maybe have fibbed a bit on their resume. Well, they’re your problem now...YOU HIRED THEM! We see it so often with our clients. A business owner gets so excited to hire someone and thinks they’re going to magically fix so many problems just by existing in the business! But, as you and I know, that rarely

2020/12/26

What matters most? Here at BOP we have a mission statement that is the why behind everything we do. It’s “Liberating business owners from the chaos of working in their business…” but we also add this on at the end, “and freeing them up to concentrate on what matters most!” It’s something we stand by and something that fuels everything that we do. Yes, business coaching is a passion of ours, but it’s the “what”, not the “why.” It’s the freedom to concentrate on what matters most that pushes us. You
