The Small Biz Paradox
The Small Biz Paradox…
The dilemma — you want to grow your small business to become a titan of industry.
The paradox is that your business cannot grow any bigger than its leaders.
It will never grow beyond your abilities because you simply will not let it.

The Midas Touch in a Single Word: Strategy
Smarter Business Starts With a Smarter Strategy.
Today is a great time to think about the year ahead, what you must do to increase market share, attract new business, and build greater value.
That, of course is the desire.
But the reality is, most businesses will simply ignore the idea of creating an actual strategy, instead, attempting to throw a bunch of random tactics at the day to day issues every business faces.
Which is why the business failure rate continues to ravage the hopes and dreams of entrepreneurs everywhere.
The Power of Unconditional Commitment
Total Commitment…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the power of total commitment.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT.
Think about this the next time you order bacon and eggs.
The hen is merely interested in your breakfast…
The pig is totally committed!
Commitment can be thought of as your intention to produce a result.
A-B-C: Always Be Closing
Leading A Sales Revolution…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the process of turning a prospect into an actual paying customer.
As we say in The Golden Game, there is a big difference between MARKETING and SELLING.
Marketing is all about values and establishing the customer’s wants, desire and need for what you have to offer.
Selling is the belly-to-belly dance where you part the prospect with money, provide him a fabulous product and service, and he presumably becomes your customer for life.
Leadership Is Innovation In Action
Leading Innovation…
As part of the launch of our 2019 Midas Touch Bundle we will be talking about big issues, but in a highly condensed format.
Today it is on the connection between leadership and innovation.
If your business is a rising star, you know the power of hyper-fast innovation… and have mastered the leadership skills required for hyper-growth.
If you business is more of a problem child, you will benefit from this thinking.
Nothing Happens Until Someone Sells Something…
How a Master Business Strategist thinks about Sales Management…

Winning In Business is a Street-Smart Affair…
Street-Smarts Rule…
It takes all kind of smarts to make the world go around.
Here’s an observation from J. B. Smoove…
“There’s book smart, there is street smart, there’s relationship smart, there’s too many different kinds of smarts to know all of them. Everybody doesn’t know every kind of smart. There’s money smart, there’s movie smart, there’s computer smart. There’s just too many different kinds of smarts for people to know all the smarts.”

The Winds of Change Always Brings Storms
The Winds of Change Always Brings Storms…
I have always loved the above quote from Warren Buffett, the most successful investor in history.

All businesses present their own unique challenges.
Some are quick and easy fixes.
Some require time and money.
Some are not worth the trouble keeping alive.
