Tune in to hear how your business can improve its culture! 5 Golden Nuggets Shared:Having a good, healthy culture in business is essential. As a leader, it’s your duty to define and create what type of culture your organization will have.  Accountability within your team is key. It’s hard to hold someone accountable when they don’t have the desire to be accountable, but if they know what their legacy is and why they keep coming to work it will help motivate them. Challenge your staff with these questions!No matter what job or position an individual holds, it’s important to make them feel valued. When a person feels valued, they thrive. Make sure your team knows you value them and how important they are to the success of the company. Typically, the solution to a problem at the surface is hidden deep down. You have to dive deep to find the root of a problem in order to fix it. This usually takes being honest with yourself and your team, while having an outside point of view come in to assess. It’s important to align yourself with someone who shares your vision and core values. Without the same shared vision and core values, there will only be conflict and your success will be jeopardized. Make sure you surround yourself with those compatible with you and your beliefs!  3 Bold and Kick-Ass Quotes: “We don’t manage people, we lead people.” - Meg Manke“It doesn’t matter who you are, everyone wants to feel valued, and everyone wants to grow.” - Dr. Rachel MK Headley“Our goal is to change the way business is done.” - Dr. Rachel MK Headley Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with Rachel and Meg!Website: https://rosegroupintl.com/ Meg’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/meg_manke Rachel’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/sprfsh_rachel?lang=en Meg’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megmanke/ Rachel’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-rachel-mk-headley/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPTAHTOfEfdWKVYz53YjLLw/videos Click the hyperlink below to connect directly with us!Website: http://www.ThinkBoldBeBold.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThinkBoldBeBold/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkboldbebold/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinkboldbebold Sponsored by Mavericks Mastermind Until next time, Do Something Nice for Someone!

Sometimes timing is off, your not ready, or you have more to learn before you will succeed. It can be difficult to find your passion. Not everyone has that “ah ha” moment where they know. If this sounds like you, find something you are good at, keep practicing it, and eventually you will become passionate about it. If you don’t know something, go find someone who does and interview them. This is an easy way to gain new knowledge, make new connections, and be seen as an influencer in your industry.  Take a hard look at your assets, if you don’t have what you need than create them. Take inventory of what you do have, what you’re good at, and what you need to outsource.  For media, start local with a group of people who care about you and continuously work with them to get your message out there. This will help start your platform and eventually build you up towards higher levels of press and success.     3 Bold and Kick-Ass Quotes:  “There’s no substitute for hard work.
