3 Reasons to join an Owner Advisory Board
Owners face a myriad of challenges in business today with some common challenges that impact nearly every business owner. In particular there are 3 challenges nearly every business owner faces during their business journey and the way a business owner faces these challenges has serious implications for the future viability of their business. In this blog we’ll take a look at these 3 challenges and the reasons an owner would want to join an owner advisory board to mitigate or eliminate the risk from these challenges. Are you concerned about your business? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you. Access it here! Let’s take a look at the first major challenge many business owners face. ⅔ of Owners cite ISOLATION as a challenge Many business owners feel that they are on an island and don’t have anyone they can turn to for advice. Spouses and partners? Don’t generally understand the business. Financial advisors, accountants and attorneys? Sure they are in touch 1-2x a year but aren’t intimately familiar with the management of the company. Who else do business owners have? Generally speaking, most business owners will make decisions on their own without the support and perspective of outside, objective advice givers. With that decision making comes serious stress and anxiety. Owner advisory boards can eliminate isolation by giving owners a forum to open up about their business with trusted advisors that do develop an intimate understanding of the business. This can not only improve decision making, it can also reduce stress levels and increase overall well being for the business owner. 50% of Owners experience OVERLOAD If you’re like half the business owners out there today, you may feel like you’re being pulled in a hundred directions at once, while juggling and maybe even spinning some plates for good measure. Overload is especially true in today’s ultra competitive environment and is exacerbated when we have struggles with employee retention and company culture. Overload leads to burnout, mistakes and it’s own set of health issues for owners. Owner advisory boards provide unique perspectives from owners that are in or have conquered similar challenges. Learning from the mistakes they made and gaining insight from other owner’s wisdom can help reduce the amount of overload you feel as a business owner today. There’s an added benefit too. Owner advisory boards that are well designed provide exceptional clarity around mid and long term business intention reducing the amount of time spent on items that do not drive the greater vision of the business. We don’t know what we don’t know Any honest business owner will admit they were hit by a curve ball or two since they started their business. For many owners, there’s a lot more than one or two of these while a business is in operation. The savviest business owners are aware that the scariest parts of business is what they don’t know they don’t know. Balancing business with the rest of our lives can feel like walking a tightrope at times. Having something completely unexpected hit you while you’re on a tightrope is the worst possible thing that can happen. Owner advisory boards offer a way for other business owners to share perspective that can illuminate and open our eyes to some of what we didn’t know we didn’t know! While business owners face a number of challenges that extend well beyond the 3 mentioned here, each of these challenges offers an incredible opportunity for owners to stand up and overcome. Utilization of a board of advisors is like having an expert set of trainers preparing you to address these challenges head on. If you’re looking for reasons to join a board look no further than this: improved decision making, reduced overload and elimination of blindspots with a bonus heaping of an overall better mental and physical wellbeing!

Innovation in business: is it really necessary?
When it comes to innovation in business it’s often a buzzword that’s thrown around along with descriptors such as critical, necessary, crucial etc. Yet, there is an argument to be made that innovation in business is not always necessary and in fact could be damaging! In this blog we’ll take a look at innovation in business and explore whether innovation is really necessary, or not. Do you need to innovate? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you. Access it here! Let’s explore when innovation is helpful and then we can explore when it’s not. Top instances innovation is helpful Innovation can be helpful for a wide range of reasons and can be a key component of long-term business success. However, there are two important drivers of innovation that are more important than the others. Long Term Survival Disruption is very real and it can completely resurface how businesses operate and we have seen plenty of examples of how very established business models failure is traced back to innovation and disruption; blockbuster & netflix, taxi’s and uber are just a couple of recent examples. Innovation can be essential for long-term survival in business today. Competitive Advantage Fast paced industries and businesses often require innovation to create a competitive advantage. It’s why we often see tech companies working furiously to develop new and innovative approaches to existing products and problems. Innovation is often a necessity to create competitive advantages today in these types of industries. Top instances innovation is unnecessary and (potentially) damaging For every business and industry where innovation is essential, there are other businesses and industries where innovation can hurt more than it helps. Here are two types of businesses where innovation may hurt more than it helps. Stable Market There are plenty of businesses and products where innovation simply isn’t all that necessary. Something as simple as the paper towel or toilet paper are great examples of stable markets that need and require little to no innovation. In fact, trying something new here is as liable to cost money as it is to make money. Risk With change comes risk and we do a disservice if we don’t consider that innovation can carry some serious risk. There are a number of examples where companies try to innovate and fail badly. Those innovation failures can lead to serious business losses and potentially catastrophic business consequences. The verdict: is innovation necessary? As the Doc likes to say with all things, it depends. There are businesses and industries where innovation is essential and there are circumstances that require businesses to innovate or fail. There are also plenty of instances where it doesn’t make sense for a business to innovate especially if the market is stable and lucrative. Ultimately the decision to innovate shouldn’t be automatic and, as with all decisions, it should be made carefully and with all due diligence. Does your business require innovation?

How to run an effective mid-year review
The halfway point of the year is an inflection point in our professional success. It represents a fantastic opportunity to review our wins and misses through the first two quarters and reflect on whether we’re on track to reach our goals, within reach of them or if we may need to hit reset on our expectations. With that in mind we wanted to offer a few tips on how to run an effective mid-year review for yourself or your team. You may want to review this! We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you. Access it here! Tips to effectively run a mid-year review 1. Prep Review your original goals and compile any of the data you need to determine if you’re on track for those goals. It’s also important to carve out the time to review and reflect. We recommend at least 4 hours for the process. 2. Evaluate When you review your goals and what you have accomplished ask yourself some questions: Where have we seen the most success? Where have we struggled? Where are areas for improvement? 3. Reflect During the reflection phase you want to check to see what if anything has changed in the marketplace since you set your goals. Have any external or macro changes occurred that require you to update the premise of your assumptions. Are there any personal or personnel changes that have impacted the goals you set in place at the beginning of the year. Be honest with yourself and your team. 4. Revisit Are your goals still relevant and achievable? Does it make sense to adjust or adapt our goals to reflect changes in our business model or to align with challenges that didn’t previously exist? These are the questions you’ll want to ask to explore if your goals should be changed. 5. Decide Your goals are either something you’ll stick with, or they are not. Do not be afraid to pivot on your goals. While we, without much information, lean towards staying consistent with your goals, life and business are dynamic and so there are times that are goals must be as well! 6. If necessary, set new goals and strategize If you decide you need to set new goals, be as hyper realistic as possible in setting them. You’re making changes for a reason, after all. Address for some optimism bias and plan for how shifting your goals can impact the short-term as well as the remainder of the year. 7. Commit Don’t allow emotion to get in the way of achieving your new goals. Adjusting goals is not a failure, it’s a measured response to changes in your business that need to be implemented. By following the process before you can come to an informed decision and should have the confidence to proceed towards your new goals with gusto. Go get them! Mid-year reviews are powerful exercises that challenge the status quo and allow you to realign yourself with the true north of your business. Reflection and honesty are key to empowering a great mid-year review. By carving out an appropriate amount of time and addressing shifting market conditions and team conditions in a timely manner you’re setting yourself and your business up for a much stronger second half of the year.

3 Ways you can use AI right now to enhance your business
AI is here to stay and to ignore it is the same as burying our heads in the sand. Technology moves fast, but AI feels like it’s moving at a lightning pace compared to traditional technology. In the last 6-8 months we’ve seen AI explode into the mainstream and it’s just getting started. The beautiful thing about AI is because it’s changing so quickly nobody is a true expert at this point. With that in mind, here are 3 ways you can immediately start to use AI to enhance your business. No artificial sweeteners added! We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our gift to you and you can access it right here. Access it here If you’re wondering when and where you should be implementing AI here are 3 ideas you can run with right now that will help save you time, leverage your skills and increase your productivity. 1. Get the starting points down AI makes plenty of mistakes and I’d never trust it (at this stage) to fully execute on something creative, but it can absolutely give you a starting framework or outline to work with. It can also help you generate additional ideas or consider avenues you didn’t think of in the first place. If you’re writing blogs, newsletters or creating any sort of content, it’s a no brainer to use AI to help facilitate the starting points at the very least! This is going to save you serious time in your business. 2. Connect other websites and apps AI can now – if you’re paying – hook to other websites and apps allowing AI’s like ChatGPT to do more than just answer queries. AI can now search the web and assist you in scheduling. If you’re not already using a virtual assistant, congratulations, for about $20 a month you can begin outsourcing some of the work you’d otherwise be doing. Oh, and if you’re not impressed by the connections to other websites yet, just give it a week or two! What will connecting to other apps ultimately lead to? You guessed it, enormous leverage and more time to focus on what you most enjoy doing. 3. Write code and troubleshoot programs If you don’t consider yourself a techy and have never in your life thought about code, well here’s a bit of a truth bomb…you don’t need to be anymore. AI has taken the need to be tech savvy and made coding and app development something that ANYONE can get their hands on. Not only will this be a game changer for reducing the cost of developing apps and websites, it’s going to completely change how everyday people interact with technology moving forward! AI is changing every day, or so it seems. Whatever benefits and challenges it faces today, have no doubt that it will be improving on these very rapidly. If you want to get ahead and one up a tremendous amount of people and competitors, this is a rare opportunity to do so! What’s your experience with AI been?

Implementing Regular Reviews
One of the most common opportunities that professionals can take advantage of more consistent and effective reviews. If you’re wondering why we are talking about reviews in the first week of January, it’s because we set our sights on moving forward in the start of the year but the best way to keep that momentum going is to also look back on a regular basis. Today we wanted to offer a way to implement effective, regular reviews. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we discuss our tips, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Calendar It The best way to implement a review strategy is to put it on the calendar. We recommend at least 1 review day per quarter, or two full days for the first 6 months. This needs to be a blocked day in the calendar the same way you’d treat a vacation. Block it and do NOT make the mistake of booking anything during that day. Know Your KPIs Key Performance Indicators are exactly what they suggest. Make sure that your review includes the activities that are most important to the growth of your business. If you don’t know these already then take a step back and consider what activity really leads to your goals and put something in place that allows you to track it. Re-Center When we move forward it’s rarely in a straight line. Implementing a regular review means recognizing where we have lost track of our true north. It happens to all professionals and is a top reason it takes longer to achieve goals than we think. Reviews are like pulling out a compass and making sure we are moving in the direction we want to. You’d be surprised at how easy it is to find ourselves off track! How do you implement reviews? Let us know at info@jbandthedoctor.com!

What it means to be courageous in business
When you hear courage, you probably don’t immediately think about business. You may think of police officers and heroism, or service members overseas, firefighters from 9/11 but you aren’t too likely to think of business leaders. Yet everyday professionals and business leaders exhibit courage in business. What it means to be courageous in business is to develop and display the skill sets of risk/reward decision making, to admit you are without all the answers and to stand up for what is right. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Stay strong! Did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Courage Through Decision Making Taking calculated risks in business means to identify and take action on potential failures. It also means to weigh the risk of that failure with the reward of success. Great business leaders display strong risk adjusted decision making and continue to push the boundaries of what their business and they are capable of. This is a skill best developed through experience, mentorship and wisdom. The Courage to Not Know As business grows more complex our ability to be an expert in all aspects hits a wall. Our willingness to openly admit our own limits of knowledge is an essential skill for professionals and business owners today. Better to admit lack of knowledge and ignorance than pretend to know what we do not. The Courage of Standing up for What Is Right It’s easy as professionals and business owners to sacrifice integrity and ethics in the pursuit of business. After all, plenty of people and businesses are willing to look the other way or blatantly break the rules if they think they can get away with it. Standing up for what is right takes courage. It takes a willingness to accept losses that otherwise might not be taken. It also leads to a culture of excellence that will be unmatched by any other company or professional that is willing to compromise their ethics and integrity. Is courage in business important to you?

How to Deal With Uncertainty
Uncertainty is always going to be there. At times we don’t even notice it, at other times it’s impossible to ignore. Dealing with uncertainty can be challenging for a number of reasons, but it’s important to make sure we are prepared so when uncertainty does pop up, we don’t allow it to throw us off track. In this blog we’ll offer some wisdom on some of the best ways to deal with uncertainty to minimize it’s impact. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Hold on!

Perspective is a great way to remove ourselves from emotional responses and when we deal with uncertainty we are often dealing with our own, or others emotions. Step back, create perspective and you’ll often find that the uncertainty is not necessarily as impactful as you were worried it would be. Uncertainty Hack #2 Plan for the uncertainty. Plan for the worst so that the worst isn’t as bad as it could be. When we have a plan in place for uncertainty it allows us to have a response ready to go. Being able to take action during uncertainty is a fantastic way to minimize the impact of uncertainty in our lives and our business. Uncertainty Hack #3 Know your coping strategies. We all cope with things differently. When uncertainty starts to creep up it may be time to implement one of your coping strategies. This could be self-care, working out, meditation, vacation, therapy or any number of outlets. Find what works best for you and don’t delay. Are you struggling with uncertainty?

Going all In!!
Have you ever heard the saying that if you ask two doctors for their opinion, you’ll get 3 opinions? When it comes to business advice, this saying is as true as they come. The truth is, nobody has the same journey as you and what worked for someone else may work for you or it may not. There are some instances where it makes a ton of sense for you to put all your eggs in one basket. This approach is called ‘Going all in,’ and in this blog we’ll discuss who it can benefit and why. 6 Methods To Make Sure Your Business Doesn’t Fail Before we bet it all on black, did you know that 70% of businesses will fail? We put together a FREE guide identifying the Top 6 reasons businesses fail and give you actionable steps you can take on every one of these to make sure it’s your competition failing and not you! It’s our free gift to you and you can access it right here. Who should consider going all in Not everyone should go all in. Going all in is going to be a huge mistake for people dealing with very high anxiety or for many of us who may have responsibilities that extend beyond our own self. However, there are certain people that will respond really well to going all in. I’ve identified a couple of instances where going all in can serve you really well. You have nothing to lose. Single, no kids, young in your career. This is a great type of person to go all in. This is not a one size fits all, there are many people who can afford to go all in, but the more of these boxes you check, the lower your overall risk is relative to the potential benefits. I can afford it Going all in is great if you have assets, income, experience and a support system. The more of these you have, the greater your chance of being able to bounce back from failure. Going all in means putting everything into an endeavor. The more you can put into something the greater your opportunity to succeed. There are a number of reasons it can be beneficial to go all in and we’ll focus on our top two for today. 1. Going all in puts your back against the wall and leaves you with no way to retreat. It’s amazing the occasion we can rise up to if we have no choice. Going all in can put you in a position to bring out your very best. No retreat, no surrender! 2. Going all in is a commitment. Commitments are hard to keep up. Going all in forces you to keep your commitment. You can’t make excuses when you go all in. External factors will keep you on your course and hold you to your commitment. So are you the type of person that could benefit from going all in?
