If you own and/or operate a service business, you need to read The Boutique by Greg Alexander. Not only is it a quick read, but it had the best ratio of fluff : actionable items, than any other book I’ve read on responsibly growing a business.

Out here on the front lines!!! @ the @P2PInstitute Retail Media Summit in Chicago.

Haven’t been this excited for the content of a conference in a long time.

Chapter 2 of the book i'll never write: Not everyone is a potential client.

If you sell someone who wasn't actively looking for your service, be prepared to sell them on why they needed it again and again and again.

@AmazonHelp 40% (ish) of my orders had the shipping date change the day it was supposed to be delivered. Something has changed.

[Mike Batiste @MvBatiste]

All of my Amazon Prime orders placed in the last 2 months are averaging 5.5 days before delivery. I don’t shop on Amazon cause it has everything, I do it so it all shows up 48 hours later.

...is to make sure they feel safe and respected.

is to give them access to the resources and skills they need to learn and grow.

is to listen, and learn from them.

If I embrace their unique perspective & empower them to work within their own flow, everyone wins.

Gen Z is ready to take the workplace by storm!

I love that they don't fit the 9-5 model.

They're more in-tune with how they want to reach their goals.
They are passionate and fluid.

They explore their interests & blend it into their life.

Our job...

Is there a better commercial for Rank Choice Voting than what is going on with the Speaker's vote in the House ? The current system, from primary to generals to speaker voting, empowers the extremes to the expense of constituants. Time to change

@RepAdamSchiff Every time someone posts this I wonder who / what they have in mind when they do so. I hope whoever needs to get the message, does!

@PumptheBubble Guess im thinking that it could only be original until too many "upgrade" and pump out whatever that is.

Seek Help
1) Who in your network can be a sounding board to get you back on track?
2) Use resources as public as reddit or twitter, or as private as coaches to help widen your perspective on your situation
3) Peer groups like @vistage, YP and industry specific committees

Running a business during today's challenges doesn't have to be a losing battle. If you're currently struggling, or just need a little inspiration, here are some approaches with 3 basic action items that might help.

[Mike Batiste @MvBatiste]

Approach: Back to Basics
1) Focus on the positives happening around you. What story are they telling?
2) Rework your goals to shorter, simpler more achievable items to build momentum
3) Slow down to speed up. You're moving too fast. Slow it down and you'll get more done.

@TWENTYFOUR___8 @oldmanebro @ShannonSharpe There has to be a better Skip out there. For the sake of this convo and my curiosity, who would you replace him with?

[Mike Batiste @MvBatiste]

@tomfgoodwin If this was a show I would watch it. Every. Episode.

@thecoastguy For the same reason a battery manufacturer sends rockets to space. At some point you have so much money you're not the thing that got you there, you're just rich. Tinkering with things that interest you with minimal push-back.
