Self-employment enabled us to move away from the Bay Area over 10 years ago. I don't regret that decision. Especially on days like this.

When you have a chance to design a new business, I always recommend to my coaching clients that they create a location-independent one.

It opens up all new doors of opportunities for your life.

Discipline's a myth. Real skill is knowing when to bend without breaking. A company run like a Victorian school? Burnout or irrelevance. What's the REAL cost of a slip-up: ego or crisis? #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Week 11 of Jan's Rules: "Acceptable lapses of discipline." We all cut corners. Where do YOU draw the line? Buyers, spot the cracks! Sellers, fix 'em! Builders, balance flexibility & integrity. #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Talent scarcity? Stop fishing in the same puddle! DEI isn't HR fluff; it's economics. Diverse teams outperform. If you're not seeking different perspectives, you're paying a premium for mediocrity. Build an inclusive culture or get left behind. #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Week 9 of Jan's Rules: Talent scarcity & DEI. Complaining about talent shortage while clinging to outdated hiring? DEI isn't just moral; it's commercial. Investors & sellers, pay attention! AI amplifies this. Ready to challenge assumptions? #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Micromanaging your team? Congrats, you're stifling talent. Real leadership is about empowerment, not policing. Invest in your people, give them the tools to succeed, and watch them actually thrive. Trust is a strategy, not a weakness. #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Week 8 of Jan's Rules: Empower your team, don't police them. Leaders: are you cultivating success or just monitoring shortcomings? Let's challenge conventional wisdom. #JRBEC #growth #entrepeneurship
Week 7 of #JRBEC: Competence vs. attitude. Talent alone won't cut it. This week: due diligence, team building, selling your business & the future of work. Ready to unlock your team's TRUE potential? #growth #entrepeneurship
