Terry Hawkins - Why Wait to be Great? (L2417)

Terry Hawkins, Founder and CEO of People in Progress Global, has been helping businesses build and use powerful systems, as well as shape workplace cultures, for over 25 years. Terry has been listed as one of the top 60 motivational speakers in the world and is also the author of “Why Wait to be Great? It’s Either Now or Too Late.” Originally finding success in Australia, after moving to the US, she found her old ways weren’t working. This led her to essentially restart from the ground up, and she has since come out the other side with a stronger business and even greater sense of purpose. 

Her passion is making a difference, and in Terry’s interview, she emphasizes the importance of having very clear goals and passions. She dissects the process of mastery and cites routines and well-structured processes as key players in goal achievement. While Terry’s personality helped her business growth in Australia, she found it to be exhausting and not effective in America, which sparked her to reconsider business as a system of processes. Rather than putting people on a pedestal, Terry encourages leaders to put tried and true processes on a pedestal, and let trusted people run the processes. A business may seem highly successful, but Terry’s information may help you break your own perceived glass ceiling and achieve levels you hadn’t previously thought possible.

Barry Moniak, Vistage Speaker and Organizational Therapist at End in Mind, helps leaders build synergistic, independent teams and systems. Barry’s specialty is helping business leaders break free from the day-to-day and keep their focus on the end goal.

Barry also talks about how exit planning should be viewed like flipping a house - you are aiming to build the best house on the block.

Ken Tucker - Intentional Conversations (B1818)

Here is a synopsis of Ken's soon to be released book, Intentional Conversations: How to Rethink Everyday Conversation and Transform Your Career. This book is the sequel to the book Your Intentional Difference, which Bill Black and I discussed last month on his show, and is another step required for people to become more intentional in their life and career. Becoming intentional in our conversations is an important activity that we begin practicing early on in our lives and it grows in importance the longer we live.

We all have that  “first” conversation.That specific day and time, that moment, that first instance when, as a child, we put together the thoughts, ideas, or information that launch us into a conversation with another person. It is a monumental event that few people, if any, remember at all. When was your first conversation? What was it about? Who was it with? What was the outcome? Sadly, like me, you probably cannot recall that momentous first conversation. It happened, you know it did, and it does not matter whether the conversation showed your brilliance, levity, innocence, simplicity, or hilarity—it is lost and gone forever.

Conversation sets us apart from all other animals. The use of spoken words to exchange ideas, thoughts, and information is a uniquely human ability. What we say in conversation matters. Through conversation people decide whether they like us or not, whether to follow us or not. Through conversation, we define who we are, who we want to become and what our value is to others. Most importantly, it is through conversation that we get work done.

Success stories of 3to5 members: 

Chris Crigler - Chris was going out of business and didn’t think that he could even make that week’s payroll. Because of the outside eyes and help from his fellow 3to5 members, he got it turned around immediately. Now he has approximately 14 on staff and a thriving business. 

Nat Bruno - had one small business when he joined 3to5 Club. 18 months later he had two of them and took off for a year in a Winnebago and ran them both from Skype. And he helped others do it, too. 

Jennifer Hanzlick - was running her hoarder trash hauling business from behind the wheel of her only truck. She did everything from the truck, accounting, sales, invoicing, customer relations - everything. Ran into the back of a school bus and realized she couldn’t do it anymore. She applied the 3to5 Club tools and methodologies and now has four trucks and 20+ staff members, and works only a few days a week. 

John Brokken - I have been apart of the 3to5 community for over three years and it has been an amazing experience for both my business but also personally. Before I joined 3to5 Club, I didn't have any entrepreneurial friends but after I joined I suddenly had 15+ great entrepreneurial friends that have become the core of my friends / my community. These people were there to support me in the lows and the highs, which can be very drastic when it comes to new businesses.Joining my 3to5 club was the most important and beneficial thing I have done for myself and for my business in the last4 years because of that support and community that I believe every entrepreneur needs, especially in the beginning.I'm indebted to and so grateful for Chuck Blakeman creating this community and for Julia Gentry being an amazing facilitator that nails the presentation of the content with her own spin and style that really hits home for me.
