Lesson #1: Be A Visionary
Thomas didn’t just know how to cook a good hamburger; he single-handedly revolutionized the fast food industry. He didn’t want to be just another fast-food joint; he wanted to create the type of old-fashioned family restaurant that he had dined in so many times with his father and he wanted to serve quality food.

What is Marketing in the First Place?
Marketing is absolutely every bit of contact any part of your business has with any segment of the public. Guerrillas view marketing as a circle that begins with your ideas for generating revenue and continues on with the goal of amassing a large number of repeat and referral customers. The three keys words in that paragraph are EVERY, REPEAT, and REFERRAL. If your marketing is not a circle, it's a straight line that leads directly into Chapters 7, 11, or 13 in the bankruptcy courts.

Who Is In Your Circle of Influence What Does That Say About You
We have heard that old saying, “You are judged by the company you keep.” That saying is important in our business life and our personal life. Who you associate with will say as much about you, your ethics, your integrity, your honesty, your core values, your beliefs, your passion and your future intentions as your actual personal behavior does. And as a business owner or business leader, you are being observed every minute of every day. Colleagues, clients, vendors, suppliers, et al are all scrutinizing, watching, listening to those people you influence. Therefore, this is a serious matter for consideration when you decide who will be in your circle of influence. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach challenges you to stop and look around you. Who do you see? Who is there? Who is in your circle of influence?

Impact and Influence in Action – What Might be Possible?
To build and maintain impact and influence in negotiation and achieve a wise outcome it’s important to manage the levels of engagement. This means doing everything you can to ensure the conversation and interaction is about joint problem solving, not about fighting for domination. At some point in the discussions the conversation will move from divergent to convergent – from opening up and examining the issues towards closing down and reaching a solution or outcome. I teach negotiators, influencers and leaders to keep a diamond shape in mind (the shape you’d see on a playing card) and check from time to time where the conversation is and when it is time to make the “critical turn” and begin converging.
Why Should I Trust You As My Leader?
It happens all the time. We “require” the employees of our organization to blindly trust in the changes we implement, although we haven’t fully explained the transformation and the reasons behind it. Quite often the change and the reasons behind it might seem quite obvious to those who have the inside information and are part of the management inner circle. To employees outside of the circle, however, the change causes impact, discomfort and anxiety. As executives of our organization, should we expect compliance and blind trust, or is the responsibility on our shoulders to communicate and lead?
Entrepreneurs and the “Oh! No!” Trap
Ever hear of the “Ohno Circle”? It was started by Taiichi Ohno on the Toyota shop floor decades ago. Mr. Ohno was known to draw a chalk circle around managers and engineers and have them stand still in the circle to observe and document all the problems in that particular production area. They had to stay and stand for hours to see and understand what was not working and then figure out how to fix the issues.
