Have you ever found a snake in your kitchen floor?
Of course you haven't.
Neither have I. But for some reason, every morning when I walk into the dark kitchen, I flip on the lights and think, "Is there a snake? No? Good."
That’s one ugly truck, but one crazy marketing idea …

I’m in Paducah, looking up. Where is @photographerjon today? #SolarEclipse2024
X says I’ve been on the platform 14 years. Seems appropriate, as 2010 was a pivotal year for my small business and my career in general. #MyXAnniversary
Hats off to Butts County, Georgia, for taking a potential liability and turning it into a branding asset. What’s something about your small business you should embrace instead of cover up?
On our drive to Orlando for the Value Builder Summit, my wife asked a great question. "So, what are you hoping to get from this conference?"
My initial answer was, "I'm looking forward to the results of the pricing models survey." But then I remembered the real value of attending such events — meeting quality people with similar interests and goals.
For a number of reasons, it's been a few years since I've attended any sort of conference. I'm excited to learn, but even more excited about doing so among other advisors and hearing their stories.
Yes, I hope to come home with greater knowledge of the value-building industry and business coaching in general. But beyond that, l plan to leave the summit having made new friends so we can learn from one another and encourage one another as we help business owners across North America.
Always curious about pricing models, I have a question for hoteliers: What is the concept behind charging $36/day for valet parking when that’s the only parking option, as opposed to providing free valet parking & accounting for that expense in your room rates? (Fresh on my mind after checking in last night …)
Adopt 14 as part of your mind shift for 2024. And practice 20 every day. It works, but you have to practice it to become comfortable.
I love it when a non-profit board understands the value of strategic planning! Had a great time last week leading this wonderful group of volunteers through an offsite board of directors strategic planning retreat. Excited to see them power through their goals in 2024!
I've encountered my fair share of snakes, the biggest of which being a health crisis that could have tanked my business. Instead, I reinvented my operation from an ICU bed and a few years later we landed on the Inc. 5000 list and sold to a strategic acquirer.
There's a fine line between thinking about potential disruptions and obsessing over negative outcomes. Small business owners will benefit from finding that balance.
Play "what if," even have a little fun with it.
When you run a small business, you need to have the prospect of snakes in the back of your mind. "What are the weird things that could happen in my business today?" This helps you think about how you'd react in the event of something crazy going down.
