EP417: Mike Michalowicz - How To Build A Shared Vision For Success

“The importance of your own personal achievement needs to
be equal to the importance of everyone else’s achievement. We are
all just harmoniously and fortunately moving towards the same
thing: survival.” 
-Mike Michalowicz


Are we working with the business or for the business? A great way
to find out is to pay attention to the way you speak about the
business. Are the successes and failures ‘ours’ or are they
‘theirs’? From this simple recognition, we can build a really
clear picture of who is sharing the vision and who doesn’t feel
like they belong.


From there, the hard work begins. In order to maintain our
success, we have to make sure those who work with and for us are
benefiting too. No one is an island unto themselves; we all need
help and support to achieve our dreams. And when we reach our
peak of success, we must look back and help those who have
supported us on our journey to achieve their own idea of success.


Mike Michalowicz, author and keynote speaker, is this episode’s
featured guest. He has spent his career helping people eradicate
entrepreneurial poverty, fixing and removing barriers to true
success. Mike speaks powerfully about the need to understand your
people, how to get inspired, and why remembering your past
successes matters.


If you are struggling to share your vision, aren’t sure how to
recognize the contributions of others, or inspire them to action,
then this is the episode to get you thinking less about your
dream and more about ‘our’ dreams. 


During this interview, you'll learn...



The value of inspiring others to achieve their
dreams


How to effectively communicate a shared vision


The importance of taking stock of your success
