Autumnal Equinox

The Autumnal Equinox. We are exactly one day away from when the Sun will be immediately above the Equator — which means tomorrow we will have exactly as much light as we do darkness. Half and half. 50/50. Down the middle. For some people that might sound like balance. Maybe even peace. Or maybe 50/50

One Tough Customer

Let’s see… Josh Doyle, imagine later today you’re going to find out you’re getting yet another monster listing. Dr Kristian, later today four new patients are going to walk into your office. And Josh Perlman, your staff checked the voicemail and office email and found three new patients making appointments. Jeff Weiskopf, unfortunately someone got

Consistency

If you are on this Zoom call today, there is something I know about you — you’ve got talent. If you’re a member, you were chosen for your seat. And since there was only one, it wasn’t handed over without scrutiny. You made it here, and you’ve been here. If you’re a guest, it’s true

NET-work

I was driving on my way home and thinking about what I might discuss today. After about thirty seconds of not too much bubbling up, the word “network” entered my mind. Ok, no big deal, nothing special. Networking. That’s what we do, got it. But then I noticed something. The word itself — “network” —

Training Others — Circumstance vs. Commitment

We’re always training people in something. Whether it’s the way we shake hands, or our email signature, or whether or not we back up our words with actions. As leaders and business owners, eyes are always on us. I suppose that it’s theoretically possible you have not been watching the news, and you are unaware

Managing Mistakes & The Hunt for Red October

There are a lot of dynamics going on in our world. Tough challenges. Tough circumstances. And though at Elevate we leave the politics at the door, we’re intelligent, sensitive human beings. And we are all aware of the humanitarian issues affecting different populations at home and abroad. I would never want to make light of
